    Ah yes collective justice. Punish the population for what their government did. Hmm this feels familiar, is something like that happening somewhere else in world right now?

    Be wary of fighting monsters, lest you become a monster.

      yes bro. Your morning or afternoon commute becoming an hour longer is equivilant to having your people wiped off the face of the earth. Truly they can’t see this hypocrisy for what it is!!

      This is so ignorant and entitled. I watched so many videos of kids watching their parents die in front of their eyes in gaza. It’s horrible to even imagine. How can you be so heartless?

            Again.

            Both acts are punishing a civilian population for the actions of their government. That doesn’t mean they are morally or on the same scale equivalent, it does mean they are examples of the same kind of behavior.

            You seem really preoccupied by how you are seen.

              One is a state entity committing genocide and the other is a small group with zero legislative backing committing a traffic obstruction. You are really preoccupied with your idiotic classification tho.

                  [Sees a child taking his ball home after being teased on the playground] “wow this isn’t quite genocide but it is the exact same thing Israel is doing (if you ignore the scale, the actors, the severity, the racial motivations, and so forth). Some children are being punished despite not actively teasing him. This is a useful categorization for concepts. Blocking traffic is the real genocide.”
