First off, I need a crash course on what 'team Israel' even means.
Team Israel consists of all those who:
1. Engage in a special pleading fallacy whereby they defend to the death all atrocities and war crimes committed by Israel, just because the perpetrater is Israel, that they would otherwise decry had they been committed by anyone else.
2. cheer on Israel"s genocide of Gazan civilian non-combatants (who never attacked Israel and who had nobody hiding behind them) and will not demand any accountability, just because Israel is the one commiting the ethnic cleansing.
3. support Israel's highly illegal and morally reprehensible assassinations without explanation, and invasions of sovereign countries that never attacked Israel.
I mean, I support Israel's right to exist,
So you support Gazans right to exist? There are roughly 20,000 dead Gazan children who were alive and well before the IDF simply slaughtered them. There was nobody hiding behind them.
... presumably against those who are attacking, not against those who never attacked and who have no ability to fight back.
and to respond to terrorist attacks
by attacking people other than those who attacked Israel?
Iran attacked Israel on 7 October via their proxy Al Qassam. Israel knows this, but Netanyahu wants to be reelected so he seized the opportunity to effect the 2nd Nakba. The IDF never invaded Iran.
or anyone who's dead set on wiping them off the map
Israel is committed to wiping Arab Semites off the face of the Earth.
, especially when they're indoctrinating kids with Jew-hatred from the cradle.
Israeli children are indoctrinated to HATE Arabs from the cradle.
If my neighbor was out there saying he wants my whole family dead and training his kids to do the job, you bet I'd take him out before he got to us.
Three questions:
1. If, after saying he wants your family dead, your neighbor were to slaughter you and your family, should any and all of your neighbor's criminal activity be investigated and brought to justice, or should your neighbor be celebrated with thunderous applause?
2. Since the 1950's, Israel has pledged to commit the 2nd Nakba and now they're doing it. Should Israel's war crimes be investigated with criminals brought to justice, or should their atrocities be applauded and legitimized?
3. Israel and the United States are signatories to the Geneva Conventions. Shouldn't the US require Israel to adhere to it? Air strikes into public population centers are illegal everywhere.
So, by that logic, I'm on 'Team Israel', right?
That is not something of which to be proud.
But back to my questions, which still stands, and I'm eagerly waiting for some answers here.
What question is that?
That was a Very long 4 years, though...sigh...
