  If history has taught us anything, it’s that just giving guns to people is a terrible idea.

    Ok, I see your point.

    How about sending trained soldiers and cooperating with Hamas?

    Or more easily, stopping trade with Israel?

    Or more easily and more profitably, stopping weapon donations to Israel at the very least?

    I am not speaking to you personally, but if people stop talking about things they become forgotten, so here I am speaking.

      Diplomacy is usually the way to go. I realize that is a foreign concept for Americans, but yes. The stopping of trade or even the threat of such, is a powerful tool indeed. And there is so many options within that concept that doesn’t involve arming every man, woman and child to the teeth and just letting them go at each other until something is resolved. Because looking at the countries that encourage such, we see that things just tend to get even more complicated. More complicated and more violent.

        US defaultism detected on Lemmic soil, lethal force engaged.

        I find diplomacy hard when one side has been going for complete annihilation of Palestinians, which is only a logical continuation of a 3/4 century long conflict.

        And that one side includes almost every governemnt, including the Palestinian “governemnt”.

        But sure, diplomacy’s great, if they stopped attacking tommorow, retreated, and said they want to negotiate, and somehow had sufficient evidence to prove that it isn’t a trick, and that they reflected and regretted half a century of genocide in 1 day, I would advocate for their diplomatic attempt.

        Random rant of the day: A few months ago I read an article that said: “after Hamas killed thousands of civilians on the 6th of October”. At the time Israel was doing its thing for at least a week and their ‘reported’ kill count wasn’t even a thousand yet, I hate these liars.
