    I support humane people everywhere. I do not support any group that uses weapons against any other group, no matter what. War mongering is only going to ensure more war mongering. What I truly support is people of greater intelligence reaching across the divide to start promoting peace and learning to live with each other.

        I disagree. Lead and sulfur will be the facsists weapon of choice and it already is. The real cure of fascim is intelligence. Educated people are humane people. Kindness is the hallmark of a well educated person.

      Not related to the Israel–Palestine conflict, but I’m curious about your perspective here:

      I do not support any group that uses weapons against any other group, no matter what.

      Is this an absolute? For example, let’s say a group starts attacking another group, are they allowed to defend themselves with proportional force?

      Again, I’m not trying to get your views on any conflict in particular. I just like talking about these things and broadening my beliefs :)

        I stand by what I said, I don’t support any group using weapons against another group. Yes, it’s quite natural for any group to defend themselves against an attack, but that doesn’t excuse the immoral corruption of killing others, whatever the reason for it. That’s my opinion, but I stand by it. And anyone who disagrees and wishes instead to dwell in a state of violence, is free to do so.

      Ok, then I’ll just move into your house. But we can reach across the divide to promote peace and learning or whatever afterwards.

        Good luck with that. Unless you have a passcode and the gate keeper lets you in, you can’t get within a mile of my home. Not by my doing, my family’s estate is on private land that is also a nature preserve, mostly closed to public entrance. We own hundreds of acres and most of it is private, so it’s a long long hike up a winding driveway to our estate - better pack a lunch with you.
