      @aral I'm sure @Davidsheen's use of "Judeo-Nazis" or "Jewish fascists" is really balanced and has place in 21st century discourse.

          @aral @hmemcpy @davidsheen IDF never bombs a target before giving head notice. Hammas doesn't do this courtesy to Israeli civilians.

          @aral that hides among his civilians, and using their houses as munition storage (violating Geneva conventions, the "international law")

          @aral diplomacy doesn't work - the other side doesn't acknowledge you EXIST, let along willing to talk to you. Again, what would you do?

          @aral you were vocal against Erdogan, plenty of Israelis are vocal against their government. But we are under attack. The threat is REAL.
