I have no issues with my politicians protecting people from being bombed. I’d love it if we’d also protect Ukraine with such vigor.
What I do have a problem with is when they provide the weaponry needed to commit genocidal actions and effectively encourage said usage by refusing to apply any sort of oversight.
Protecting Israel, or any other country from violence should be considered a good thing. Causing violence to Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, wherever, should not.
Like, imagine a magical satellite system that automatically shoots down all missiles from all nations. Using weapons to destroy weapons is a wonderful thing for peace. Unfortunately any such system would be selectively activated by whoever controlled it.
Yeah, agreed. I don’t have a viable solution (I wish I controlled my various government representatives, but alas!), but even perfect solutions would be ruined by people. People are why we can’t have nice things. :(

A balanced take? On the internet? Get outta here!
But for real I’m on the same page as you on this one.
No take on the subject is more controversial then acknowledging that this is an issue more complicated then an episode of GI Joe
And acknowledging is half the battle
The other half of the battle is laser burn to eyes.
Should we protect Lebanon from Israel?
This isn’t really a gotcha question. The answer is yes.

Why imagine? This is exactly how zionism is enforced.

Protecting Israel from repercussions of the violence it causes is not a good thing. No one else can stop them because the US will protect them.
I’d rather my politicians protect victims not Nazis.
Israel isn’t a monolith.
Innocent people should be protected.
Should we have gone out of our way to defend nazi germany because it wasn’t a monolith either and innocent people should be protected?
You some champion of missing the point?
Don’t worry, I’m no threat to your title.

Damn, 4 people disagreeing with 2 statements?
Both of which are factually true?
