I didn't call Palestinians "human animals".

I wish that October 7th was unprecedented. It is not the first pogrom Jews suffered. I'm not aware of a case in the history where Jews behaved like that. If it did occur,it is unexcusable, just like October 7th.

Let's put it in clear terms. I'm an Israeli, humanist and supports a two states solution. You, on the other side, are terror justifying and, I guess, antisemite.




C'mon


My brothers and sisters are nearly a year in captivity,with no medical care, starved, raped and tortured. Don't C'mon me.


I'm sorry. The people dying from bombs right now are also our brothers and sisters, even if we are ignorant of the details of their lives.


Yes, they are. The situation is awful. And it's sad that you are lacking the moral capacity for distinguishing between bad and evil.


People usually use the word 'evil' to say something is not just bad, but to imply that there is a spiritual or supernatural significance to it. I understand that thinking in those terms can make it easier to deal with suffering, but you cannot know those things. I am not saying you should not keep searching for meaning (nor find strength in the belief in a kind and loving god if you do), but you should also remember that you cannot know god, nor know the mind of god, and believing that you do is fooling yourself- especially when it comes to discounting others pain in comparison to your own
