Israel will push on with its offensive against Hamas, including into the southern Gaza city of Rafah, despite growing international pressure to stop, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday.

Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Hamas after its fighters attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and abducting 253, according to Israeli tallies. More than 30,000 people have been killed in Gaza during Israel’s subsequent offensive, Palestinian health authorities estimate, prompting worldwide criticism and condemnation.

“There is international pressure and it’s growing, but particularly when the international pressure rises, we must close ranks, we need to stand together against the attempts to stop the war,” he said.

      This is some “I’m 14 and this is deep” shit.

      You can’t “paradox of intolerance” this one as an argument to justify genocide you lunatic. Just because you heard something trendy in the Internet doesn’t mean it applies in all situations. It’s not a one-size-fits-all wrench to winning an argument - it just means you’re lazy and refuse to do any sort of critical thinking. By your logic, you can justify the murder of your neighbor because you feel that they are “intolerant” and you don’t agree with their political viewpoints.

        Our species are literally the top of the food chain because we’re the most homicidal, genocidal species to ever exist. It is QUITE LITERALLY a one-size-fits-all approach. The weak die to make room for the strong. It happens to be that I’m a part of the strong society and I’m okay with that society striking back at a society that attacked them. It isn’t deep. I’m not claiming that I’m deep, or edgy…it’s all pretty simple. We’re violent. Violence happens. We’re not gonna change it, so why not look on the bright side? The bright side is an intolerant society is being gotten rid of for a more tolerant one.

        I’ve done the critical thinking. This is the other side of the equation. I did the math. This is the answer. If I were in a more powerful position in society; say one where I could affect this AT ALL – I would do something different. But I’m not…so why stress myself about it?

          Let’s see if I got this right

          We’re violent and genocidal, so it’s ok to eliminate people who are bad, unlike us, the violent genociders. It’s also ok to eliminate the weak if you’re strong, and you’re fine with that because you’re weak so you can’t do anything about it.

          Have you considered therapy?

      I hate humanity in almost every form. I don’t give a shit about being a human being, human lives are worthless. My life is worthless, your life is worthless, their lives are worthless, it’s all worthless.

      It’s meaningless but it is not worthless. Even yours, despite all of the horrendous, wannabe edgy shit you just posted. One day you will cringe about this, and you’ll be a better person for it.

        Sorry, if anything I’ve come to hold these beliefs more strongly as I get older. I won’t look back at it and cringe, because it’s not cringeworthy. It’s an incredibly sad truth, that I wish were different. Humanity as a whole, sucks. Even the people here pretending they’re better than I am. They’re holding and using devices that rely on child slave labor to be produced, half the things they own are the result of others being taken advantage of. You just see more, and more, and more of it the more you’re alive.

        If you actually sat down and think of it – and I have – your posh dipshit little life of “oh save the CHILDREN!!!” is covered in blood. All of it, from the house you live in, to the computer you’re using to chastise me. What are you gonna do about it? You’re gonna get on the internet and whine, and then in a few weeks, you’ll continue using all your shit, and you’ll be here…wasting your time, telling yourself how good a person you are because you “Care®”.

        You don’t care any more than I don’t care. You just feed yourself platitudes so you can feel superior and enlightened and drown out any actual thought on the matter truthfully.

        The difference is the thing that I can admit plainly – I don’t care. I am not judging you. I’m the same way. We’re ALL the same way. I’ve just lived enough life now that I don’t care to sugar coat it any longer.

        It’s kind of like being religious and becoming atheist. The world is just a little darker when you don’t have that belief system to hang onto. Some people REALLY need it. They can’t live without it. You’re the same. It’s not religion though, it’s a different security blanket; the blanket of thinking you’re a good person because you have good thoughts and that those good thoughts make you better than someone who thinks differently.

        I’m just an atheist to the everyday bullshit we tell ourselves to make us think we’re better somehow. We’re not.
