Calls are growing for the UN Security Council to be reformed after the US became the only member to use its veto power to block a Gaza ceasefire resolution, a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN chief says he will keep pushing for peace.
It’s black and white thinking, just like the whole mindset of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Hamas and the Israeli regime are enemies. The people of Palestine and the Israeli regime are enemies, therefore Hamas and the people of Palestine must be friends. Also people opposing the actions of Israel must thus be friends with Hamas.
I’m just not sure how much of it is in bad faith because they support the evil actions (possibly even including the evil actions of Hamas that they believe gives justification for the evil actions of Israel), or because they are just stupid and don’t understand that people fit into more than two categories.
It’s interesting how just asking critical questions of Hamas entails that I support Israel’s response.
“just asking questions” is the excuse for assholes to be assholes. It’s never “just asking questions” it is always “asking misleading questions to evoke an emotional reaction out of someone”.
Do you have any evidence of this claim? Because that doesn’t make any sense to me. People do, indeed, ask questions to clarify things. It’s a crucial part of communication and thinking.
Labeling all questions as attempts to troll sounds like the sort of knee jerk reaction of a person who doesn’t want their beliefs questioned. And someone who doesn’t want their beliefs questioned probably hasn’t developed them very thoroughly.
You should be asking yourself questions all the time. When I said it’s a crucial part of communication and thinking I mean that if you don’t ask questions about things, then you don’t communicate or think. And that’s very bad.
Sure. With that logic, you can win every argument. Done talking to you now, thanks
I see you Likechecker. I know you’re not just here to be an ass. Just wanted you to know this hate isn’t universal.
Thanks for noticing haha
Boo hoo. With your “just asking questions” you try to absolve yourself of the type of questions you are asking. And if someone calls you out on it, you run away because you know what kind of questions you are asking.
Calling someone on something they didn’t do is antisocial
