If by a miracle the conflict calms down and then ends, how long will Israelis remain sub-human scum who deserve to be ground up into paste?

Have you spared any thoughts to how easy it would be to swap “Israelis” and Palestinians in your rant?

Nei, jeg er kjøtt og blod og stål og smøreolje som deg

How true is the dead internet theory, in your view?

I’ll ask anyway. Why do companies like bots?

Who is the arbiter of when there is an “active ongoing genocide”? Who do you trust with the authority to kill and cripple entire populations? What happens when the Israelis are defenseless and the Palestinians come for revenge? Will that be a genocide? Should they be killed and crippled too?

Do you believe in justified massacres more broadly too? Would Sahrawis slaughtering Moroccan settlers or Kypriots killing Turkish settlers also be good things?

So by your logic, because I disapprove of massacring people dancing at a music festival I am now a Nazi, and you consider my murder to be a good? Is that your pitch?

I disagree with the premise that standing up for Palestine means you have to always and in every instance act against Israel. This isn’t a fight to the death where only one side can survive and shouldn’t be framed that way.

Sadly we all decided to collectively ignored israel killing kids for 75 years

No. We haven’t. That’s the point. But there’s a limit to what a small country can achieve from the other side of Europe. The Irish are the prime example they’ve always stood up for Palestine it just doesn’t make enough of a difference. They don’t deserve to be lumped in with the Americans just because they aren’t powerful.

I’ve been the one saying nobody should be killing kids the whole time

So Hamas killing kids is a-okay?

It is possible to condemn both this attack and the embassy strike, just as it is possible to find the October 7 attack an appalling act of barbarism without wanting kids killed in retaliation

This comes across as if you’re angry Iran’s strike didn’t do more damage.

Leadership of my country has been calling for a ceasefire and reduction of violence since the beginning. Great to see that we’re lumped in with the Americans regardless.

You’re right. The problem is not so much the concept as what happens when residential property can be turned into Hotels by installing an app.

I think going after short-term rentals is exactly what they should be doing. If they take bribes not to then that’s a huge problem though.

The problem here is that you’re competing with tourists sleeping four to a room and you just can’t outbid them for apartments, even with high wages. The solution here is to set aside properties for resident locals so that they aren’t forced to.

Western conservative parties were mostly fiscally responsible until the 80s, and outside the USA they’ve tended to come around on many civil liberties. Women’s suffrage was passed with cross-aisle support in many European countries, for instance, as was same-sex marriage. Even today, the conservative parties in Northern Europe mostly stand for fiscal responsibility. In general, conservative parties in systems with Proportional representation seem to be much less exposed to capture by the far right.

I’ll almost certainly never vote conservative, but given how many do, I’m thankful to be living in a country where that means budget cuts and reduced income tax for the upper middle, and not the stripping away of rights and liberties and deficit-funded tax cuts for the rich.

That’s the point. The Republican party isn’t conservative at all, but radical. They’ve abandoned most conservative political positions, including orthodox fiscal management, and exchanged conservative values for a constructed collection of ‘traditional values’, which are derived less from tradition than from the endless grievances that have replaced policy as their political program
