How many do you need? The IDF/Bibi/Likud gets no scorn from you... brush Dec 2023 #10

That's absurd. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #13

You pay attention. It's over-retaliation, and conseqences will happen once it's over. brush Dec 2023 #14

Well, that's refreshing! Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #15

I've never denied it. You haven't been paying attention. I've always made it clear... brush Dec 2023 #19

That Is Fair Enough, Sir, And I Apologize The Magistrate Dec 2023 #32

And that's what I am trying, apparently in vain, to demonstrate to you. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #35

Still not comprehending. Israel has a duty to retaliate, not over-retaliate. brush Dec 2023 #36

I see the difference more clearly than you would ever give me credit for. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #38

Try your bullshit trick question on someone just off the turnip truck. brush Dec 2023 #39

I don't have time for you anymore, and Eko handled your bullshit quite well. brush Dec 2023 #57

A euphamism for you having no answers for me. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #59

I got bored with your inhumane lack of empathy for non-combatants being killed. Eko, however, wiped the floor with you. brush Dec 2023 #60

That's not a very passionate statement, is it? Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #61

Heehee. He owned you. brush Dec 2023 #62

They dont get to have an opinion here? And you do? Eko Dec 2023 #42

Neither one of us does. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #46

You say niether one of us does Eko Dec 2023 #47

"Neither of us does" refers to who gets to decide what the difference between retaliation and over-reraliation. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #54

Here is a question. Eko Dec 2023 #48

Because the avatar of Einstein sticking his tongue out has already been taken, and I couldn't find Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #55

Tell that to Gurney Halleck Eko Dec 2023 #72

How do you know that? Eko Dec 2023 #6

Would they go north to Israel? Or would they remain in Gaza until they are blown out of their tunnels? Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #8

Ah, so you are just saying what you think. Eko Dec 2023 #9

Ever read Conan Doyle? Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #12

Yeah, it's a fictional book. Eko Dec 2023 #16

A method of deduction is being used in most studies that are based on presumption of rationality. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #20

I have to ask you Eko Dec 2023 #26

My doubts were about your use of rational thinking, not hamas. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #33

Are you claiming that observations are not previous knowledge? Eko Dec 2023 #37

Yes I am. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #41

Observation is the present form of it. Eko Dec 2023 #43

Good catch. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #52

And just to point it out Eko Dec 2023 #17

Sure, add that to the list. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #21

You should never go to where your enemy expects you to. Eko Dec 2023 #23

This is not deductive reasoning. it's just the opposite Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #25

I never called it deductive reasoning. Eko Dec 2023 #27

I had an impression, apparently a false one, that you responded to my post in which I challenged you to use Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #34

You didnt challenge me at all. Eko Dec 2023 #40

That's not a challenge? Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #44

No it was a statement, everyone knows a question is followed by this ? Eko Dec 2023 #45

Apparently they are still very much up in the north. Eko Dec 2023 #73

This article refers to an undated report. In the excerpt you posted, Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #74

The ceasefire started Nov 24th. Eko Dec 2023 #75

Ok, so they took their time Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #76

Or they decided not to go where the enemy expected them to. Eko Dec 2023 #77

More like they decided not to run where enemy expected them to go. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #78

To "Run" is a form of "Go". Eko Dec 2023 #79

There you go again, splitting hairs. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #80

Huh, I looked at it as more a conversation Eko Dec 2023 #81

You start by mentally or emotionally disconnecting your humanity by Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #4

Good points. Hamas and Bibi/Likud/IDF, all complicit/at fault...however you want fo phrase it. brush Dec 2023 #5

Who do you think is doing the devaluing, those who use civilians as human shields, or Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #11

No, "human shield" doesn't denote any humanity of the victims, Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #18

What term would you prefer that would more accurately denote the humanity of the victims? Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #22

How about civilians? That's seems to work well in International Law n/t Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #49

This doesn't begin to describe the condition of civilians who are Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #50

That's precisely the case of every civilian trapped by the insanity of war. Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #56

Interesting perspective Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #58

Civilians are human, shields are not, Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #63

OK then, civilians. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #64

Why do you believe only one side uses humans to shield themselves? Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #65

Who besides Hamas is using human shields... sorry, using humans as shields? Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #66

Currently Hamas in Gaza, and Israel at its' founding. Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #67

So we are not talking about Gaza anymore. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #68

Sure there is, what do you think the IDF is doing in aiding and abetting illegal settlements in the West Bank? Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #69

AAAAnd, now we are deflecting to the West Bank! Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #70

It's all part of the same package. Uncle Joe Dec 2023 #71
