That is not the question I asked.
Do you feel that everything Hamas has done is legitimate?
You don’t get to brush stuff under the rug because it doesn’t help your argument
I'm my view it's not worth my time criticizing individual actions of desperate people. Whether some resistance actions are questionable or not is not of particular importance. Resistance itself is moral, legal, and justifiable. Including armed resistance as reiterated multiple times by UN resolutions.
How do you feel about Nelson Mandela? Why are you ignoring the question?
I don’t know shit about Mandela, other than the fact that half the world thought he died.
I’ll be more direct for you, do you think it is ever okay to kidnap children, and, if so, why and in what situations?
I've been very clear so let me repeat again. I think it's the unfortunate consequence of the escalating violence of the occupation, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid. You don't want oppressed people to commit acts of violence, then don't oppress them.
You're basically asking what is the level of violence that is ok for a someone to use when defending themselves from domestic violence to the point where they fear for their lives.
No I will not condemn Hamas. There were less violent options before, those clearly did not work. I condemn occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing. Self defense is always ok, even if sometimes it's messier than we would like. You can leave now, I've made myself extremely clear. I don't know what the fuck it is that you want other than waste my time.
But before you go, let me as once again, do you condemn ZOB?
Ok person who is fine with people kidnapping children.
Nice strawman.
Do you condemn ZOB?
Did they kidnap any kids?
Notice I have excluded killing kids this whole time.
That I do believe could happen on accident at least, in fact, I change my comment.
Did they intentionally kidnap any kids, if so, did they ransom them, or return them for free?
You don't k ow who ZOB is do you?
Jewish resistance
