Iranian state media is reporting that flights have been suspended over several cities, according to Associated Press.

Iran has been on high alert after Israel said it would respond to an Iranian attack against it on Saturday night

        so saying we should stop genocide is advocating genocide, because their culture is just so exclusively nothing else, it would be like what killing the buffalo was to the plains tribes?

        that’s cool. that’s a culture worth preserving. I want to share a world with that.

          Saying you should stop genocide by killing everyone on the other side is advocating genocide. Full stop.

            well maybe if the fucking Americans stopped giving them top of the line military hardware, there would be other fucking options, but this is all that’s left.

            they can’t be negotiated with, and short of killing or badly maiming literally every military age adult, nothing’s going to stop them-and we can’t just subdue them, because they have too many toys now.

            also if we don’t, they literally start world war three, which they’re apparently fucking into

            please tell me if you have another idea, besides “let the genocide continue”. one that hasn’t failed like twenty times already.

      I don’t want to share the world with people who call for the eradication of others. Obviously missing the point on purpose. I don’t think calling for genocide is the answer to genocide. Your view is twisted.

        if they are nothing but genocide, you can’t stop the genocide without killing them, and destroying their culture

        which is just genocide all the way down.

        some things are just irredeemably vile. nothing left to salvage.

        theres a way some of them survive, but it must be at the discretion of Palestinians, and they must be allowed to die or it won’t work.

          You are wrong. Calling for genocide is wrong in any and all cases. Your view is twisted and abhorrent. Your want for Israel to be eradicated is no better than those of them that want Palestine gone. Hold those responsible accountable yes, but the way you look at life is quite sad.

            not doing what you say is ‘calling for gebocide’, the bare minimum, is actively aiding an ongoing actual real life non hypothetical genocide.

              And calling for the eradication of Israelis isn’t going to stop what is happening either.

                oh so you actually believe in the passive voice like some sort of physical force? that’s pretty wild.

                    the passive voice is erasing attribution by saying "x happened” rather than the active voice, which would be ‘x was done by y’ or ‘y did x’

                    I’m joking and saying that you think the violence really does just materialize from nowhere, totally depersonified.

                    its very hard to perpetrate a genocide when you are dead.
