Genocide (Page 1/15)

What does it say about us if we accept a world where we arm and fund a nation that kills and wounds hundreds of innocents a day?

What does it say about us if we support an orchestrated famine and the poisoning of the water supply where the polio virus has been detected, meaning tens of thousands will get sick and many will die?

What does it say about us if we permit for 10 months the bombing of refugee camps, hospitals, villages and cities to wipe out families and force survivors to camp out in the open or find shelter in crude tents?

What does it say about us when we accept the murder of 16,456 children, although this is surely an undercount?

What does it say about us when we watch Israel escalate attacks on United Nations facilities, schools — including the Al-Tabaeen school in Gaza City, where over 100 Palestinians were killed while performing the Fajr, or dawn prayers — and other emergency shelters?

What does it say about us when we permit Israel to use Palestinians as human shields by forcing handcuffed civilians, including children and the elderly, to enter potentially booby-trapped tunnels and buildings in advance of Israeli troops, at times dressed in Israeli military uniforms?

What does it say about us when we support politicians and soldiers who defend the rape and torture of prisoners?

Are these the kinds of allies we want to empower? Is this behavior we want to embrace? What message does this send to the rest of the world?

If we do not hold fast to moral imperatives, we are doomed. Evil will triumph. It means there is no right and wrong. It means anything, including mass murder, is permissible. Protestors outside the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago demand an end to the genocide and U.S. aid to Israel, but inside we are fed a sickening conformity. Hope lies in the streets.

A moral stance always has a cost. If there is no cost, it is not moral. It is merely conventional belief.

There is a reason this conflict has been going on for over 70 years. There is no easy middle ground.

I can't support what Israel has done over the years, but I sure as hell can't support terrorists like Hamas.

So you're sure there is a Hell?
How would Hell exist without God?

No I do not believe in hell at all. The term "as hell" is what is called a "figure of speech". A "figure of speech" is a word or phrase that intentionally deviates from straightforward language use or literal meaning to produce a rhetorical or intensified effect.

imaginary friends and places is not good for governments

At least I made a comment about the subject of the thread.

All you do is stalk me and make personal attacks without ever even commenting on the subject of the thread.

Sems you are the one crippled by your obsession with being a dick.

I haven't commented on the thread because the opinion that it's based on is a faulted premise.

Iran and its proxies are the ones calling for genocide.


Iran also calls for 'Death to America'.
