Not preemptive, the Jihad was first called by Iran in 1992, I believe.

We have two belligerent sides and a people trapped in the middle. I think trying to pull gotchas online with people on the same side as you is doing nothing to help those people.

Do you disagree?

Alright, I understand that a lot of people have called you out on your logical inconsistencies in this thread so you must be confused about what I'm referring to. You used the argument I quoted as a reason why the U.S. should not stop funding Israel's genocide, because if they did then Iran and Qatar would commit genocide against Israel. When prole mentioned how wrong the idea of pre-emptive genocide is, you went off on a tangent. A pretty tasteless one. Are you going to address the pre-emptive genocide idea?

I think trying to pull gotchas online with people on the same side as you is doing nothing to help those people.

I don't disagree. I've seen on this thread that you try to change the subject whenever someone questions your idea so I hope you will finally address the pre-emptive genocide idea that was brought up some 10 comments ago. And it's ok to make mistakes and change your mind when you get new information or a new understanding. It's a good thing.

It's not a good thing when your income depends on not changing your mind about that specific thing.

Dude accidentally showed a bit of true colors there, and there's no way they'll ever honestly respond to questions about it.

No doubt. Check their post history, it's a hasbara account. I was just trying to be diplomatic, although I did appreciate your comment that got removed by the mods. "I'm the calm one, but my crew is sorta sick" lol.

Oh I've seen this one all over the place the past few days. Working overtime.

I don't even remember what I said lol...

I kind of hope they actually get paid for this and they're not this broken that they volunteer to be like this for free.

I think it takes a lot of pretending on your part to construe my saying that Western money until now has saved more lives on both sides than it has taken as me saying that preemptive genocide is okay is probably one of the most dishonest things anybody has yet said in this thread.
