Go read the definition of war again. It doesn’t require a functioning state with a standing army. It doesn’t mention anything about civilian deaths. It’s literally just 2 sides engaged in an armed conflict. Want to argue about the definition of war? Write to Merriam Webster. I don’t care

Ugh man, sure, if you want to go that far, Jews who armed themselves and fought against Nazis were in a war. Whatever. But in war, civilians are killed.

"Between 300,000–600,000 German civilians and over 200,000 Japanese civilians were killed by allied bombing during the Second World War, most as a result of raids intentionally targeted against civilians themselves."

"Some 75 million people died in World War II, including about 20 million military personnel and 40 million civilians" Source : https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldhistory2/chapter/casualties-of-world-war-ii/

Please recognize that you are trying to twist the definition of war here, not me.

No. Hamas is an organized armed group, fighting Israel, another organized armed group. You are the one trying to twist the definition of war. It's very clear cut

slurpinderpin OP , to World News in Intense phase of Israel's war with Hamas about to end, Netanyahu says

It's really just a bunch of leftists who think that any side that is disadvantaged (see Hamas in this scenario) deserves their undying support. It's pretty whack, especially when it means supporting literal terrorists

slurpinderpin OP , to World News in Intense phase of Israel's war with Hamas about to end, Netanyahu says

War definition: a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state

slurpinderpin , to World News in Thousands of Iran-backed fighters offer to join Hezbollah in its fight against Israel

Just because one side is disadvantaged and losing doesn't mean they deserve your support. Those women and children are dying because Hamas is sheltering among them. If you really want the carnage to stop, you should be pushing for Hamas' complete surrender and the return of hostages. Otherwise, Israel is just going to keep killing. Is it sad? Is it unjust? Sure, I'd agree with you there. But it's also a war, and people die in wars. How many German civilians were killed by American/British bomb raids in 1945? How many Japanese civilians were killed when atomic bombs were dropped on them? Unfortunately, war is messy and lots of people die

Between 300,000–600,000 German civilians and over 200,000 Japanese civilians were killed by allied bombing during the Second World War, most as a result of raids intentionally targeted against civilians themselves.

Biden is not responsible for the war in Gaza. Full stop.

You need to stop reading and spreading right wing propaganda.

Also, I'm not "ignoring everyone else's concerns", I'm ignoring your concerns. Some random dude on the internet

slurpinderpin , to World News in Netanyahu says he won’t agree to a deal that ends the war in Gaza, testing the latest truce proposal

Exactly. And why would they end the war without getting everything they demand from the other side? They aren’t losing, Hamas is losing. People don’t seem to understand the concept of leverage in negotiations. If Hamas wants to end the war, they need to completely surrender and return all the hostages

I’m realistic, you’re living in a fantasy world because you think bitching about Joe is going to influence the DNC. News alert, they don’t give a fuck about you or what you think.

slurpinderpin , to World News in Thousands of Iran-backed fighters offer to join Hezbollah in its fight against Israel

I disagree with your entire premise, and your approach. Sitting around bitching about Biden won’t get you a different candidate, and you’re spreading Republican propaganda.

slurpinderpin , to World News in Thousands of Iran-backed fighters offer to join Hezbollah in its fight against Israel

Jesus man, if you really think the DNC will replace their incumbent president with a different nominee, you’re living in a fantasy world. Doesn’t matter how much you think they should, they won’t.

slurpinderpin , to World News in Thousands of Iran-backed fighters offer to join Hezbollah in its fight against Israel

Keep living in a fantasy world bud. Again, wanna put $10k on it?

slurpinderpin , to World News in Thousands of Iran-backed fighters offer to join Hezbollah in its fight against Israel

Pedantry is unbecoming. He will be the nominee, and he will be your only choice, if you actually give a fuck. Which you don’t, you’re more interested in spreading right wing propaganda about how “bad” Joe Biden is
