Israel killed 3 Americans in bomb attack - Should the U.S. retaliate?

@Puppycat23 🙄

@Puppycat23 Oh, so because the Americans weren't on American soil, we shouldn't retaliate?

@Puppycat23 Oh, so now you're going to throw a red herring at me to try to distract me? It doesn't fucking work.

@LordShadowfire distract you from what? It’s a genuine question that you can answer as It goes along with what OP posted.

@Puppycat23 No, it's a red herring. We're not talking about US+Mexico relations. We're talking about the Israeli government killing American aid workers with a drone. If you think that's comparable, you've got a screw loose.

Update: This is what happens when I type at 5:00 a.m., lol.

@LordShadowfire

No. It’s the same thing as the topic is on Americans being killed in other countries. But lets center it around what’s going on currently then. Should the U.S. retaliate against Gaza since Hamas also killed Americans?

@Puppycat23 Why is the US supplying weapons to Israel? If this is about money, then shouldn't the US sell weapons to anyone who wants them? Might as well sell to both sides to maximize profits!

@independentone

Because that’s their ally? The US is also selling weapons to Ukraine. So what’s wrong with selling them to Israel?

@LordShadowfire

Hey, you forgot this question

Should the U.S. retaliate against Gaza since Hamas also killed Americans?

@Puppycat23 Okay, I'll give you that this is a much more legitimate question than your Mexico question.

No, the US shouldn't retaliate against Gaza. They should retaliate against Hamas. Retaliating against Gaza is what Israel is doing right now, indiscriminately. That is what's known as genocide.

@LordShadowfire


Hmm, interesting response opposite of what many of you want done to Israel for the death of Americans. But okay.



We’ll agree to disagree

@Puppycat23 Wrong. It is the same thing. I want the US to retaliate against the organization, not the innocent civilians. I don't see how this is a difficult concept.
Not an option.

@Puppycat23 If it's ok to sell weapons to both Ukraine and Israel, shouldn't it be ok to also sell weapons to Russia and Hamas? After all the more they sell, the more profit they make.

@independentone

The U.S. and Russia aren’t allies. And Isn’t that what Iran is doing for Hamas?

@LordShadowfire


What I said is an option. Just because you believe there is some genocide going on doesn’t mean others are going to agree.

@Puppycat23 Yes, I get it that you don't agree with reality.

@Puppycat23 but if it's all about profit, why not sell weapons to everyone. Israel isn't an ally, it's a 75 year old dependent. Time to cut them loose and let them survive or perish on their own.

@LordShadowfire


We’ll agree to disagree on that as well.

@Puppycat23 You can't agree to disagree with reality.

Tell you what. Argue with the dictionary:

@independentone "Israel isn't an ally, it's a 75 year old dependent. Time to cut them loose and let them survive or perish on their own."

Who would take Israel's place in the Middle East?

Do you think this country came into being out of the kindness of British and American hearts?

@SW-User I really don't care what happens to Israel, the people can live anywhere they want, but they don't need to steal someone else's land so they can have "their own country"

@independentone Yeah, well, the Palestinians didn't need to steal it, and the Romans didn't need to steal it before them, and so forth. So here we are.

@independentone We all have to care. Not caring is what causes people to suffer, and this lack of compassion hurts us all.

Is stealing someone else's land really the contention? Shall we discuss how your country came to be? We can see Palestinians and that is because Israel was established in 1948 and their continued struggle is occurring during our time. Political groups in Palestine haven't given up their fight, but what is going on there? How involved are the people in what limited representation they have? Are Hamas and the corrupt Fatah good?
