    I’m saying it’s funny you want Israel to take an attack without reaction, after you’ve reaped the benefits of colonizing and fucking up entire natiions. Imagine if after 9/11, the Taliban had said “we want peace now”, would you or any other American have accepted their peace overture?

      Yeah I would since the Taliban had jack shit to do with 9/11. Bombing and invading them for 20 years accomplished absolutely nothing. The US isn’t any safer and Afghanistan is worse off.

      It’s actually a stupid question when you think about it. Would I save thousands of lives on both sides that were needlessly wasted? Yeah, I would. But you just want blood so you don’t give a fuck about hearing reason.

      I’m from Egypt, so my country was on the other side of colonialism, but that’s irrelevant either way.

      Imagine if after 9/11, the Taliban had said “we want peace now”, would you or any other American have accepted their peace overture?

      The Taliban didn’t do 9/11, but that aside 9/11 and this attack are fundamentally different. A closer comparison would be terror attacks against Britain during the Troubles.
