I'm well aware of the definition of genocide. My point was that the threshold for accusing Israel of genocide is very, very low.
Really strange that they're revealing this 3 weeks after it happened
Free the people of Iran
Do you have a suggestion for how Israel can deal with the genocidal threats on its borders without killing civilians? Or does that require you to think a bit more deeply than the slogans you pick up on TikTok?
The irony is, I used to be left-leaning. I might have even considered myself fairly progressive. That all changed over the past year.
No, we should not be teaching shame. We should be proud of the role we played in both major wars. We had to do horrific things in those wars because war is horrific, but we absolutely should not be ashamed of taking part.
Can you give me an example of something you consider to be "glorification of war?"
I think it's an issue of interpretation. If you accept that war is sometimes necessary, and armed forces are required to fight in those wars, the country has to take some steps to encourage people to consider military service. Otherwise we won't have a military when we need it. Plus, showing pride in the role we have played in major wars is a mechanism for generating national pride, which is something that has been in significant decline (partly due to our open immigration policies). I don't consider these things "glorification of war."
Sometimes war is necessary and showing respect to the people who have the courage to fight in them isn't "glorification of war."
There is no video of gang rape in that link.
