    You’re operating under an assumption that is as widespread as it is unfounded: that how seriously we take a problem correlates with our willingness to kill.

    That willingness – to commit counter-genocide, if I’m understanding you correctly – isn’t an identifying feature of people with courage to act or a deep-hearted commitment to protecting the vulnerable.

    Ultimately, I think you will always find yourself at the same fork: do you pursue safety for the vulnerable OR do you pursue your adversary?

    At this moment, it’s as obvious as ever. Even if you killed every Israeli – which is a phrase that genuinely disgusts me to type out – that wouldn’t rescue Gaza. They need food and medicine. After you finish executing your fantasy… the people of Gaza are still starving, and in addition to committing mass murder against Jewish Israelis, you would have killed 1.3 million Israeli Palestinians.

    We need to start with support for the people of Palestine, as well as innocent Israelis. And then we need to ask what they need and break through any obstacle to provide it. We need to throw sand and wrenches in the gears of war. But your hate speech and truly nauseating fantasies aren’t doing anything to help anyone. And if I can be frank, I’m deeply skeptical that anyone who speaks as you do is of any use to the cause of Palestinian liberation.

      I’d love support for Palestinians, IDF and ‘protestors’ refuse to let it through. Now what? Peace isn’t an option, they’ve ensured it.

      This isn’t hate speech and if you find my fantasies nauseating you can go be morally outraged in the corner where nobody will listen and those that do will be as helpless as you are.

      I hate the hateful. I don’t tolerate the intolerant. You can call me a hypocrite or whatever else, I don’t care, there is no room in this world for monsters and I will gladly rid the world of them so you don’t have to.
