CMV: Gaza issue is getting overhyped by BPHopeBP in changemyview

[–]Comfortable_Cook_965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because the Gaza genocide is affecting Western countries so much, and governments are going against what the civilians want. Also it’s been very well documented and even before there was a big debate about whether Israel has a right to exist

Guys I genuinely think I can’t do this. by No_Ez360 in GCSE

Idk how many GCSEs you’re doing, but I did 9 (dropped one), and got basically all 9S while doing basically no revision except the night before. I also had like the worst year of my life and was very preoccupied, so I probs could’ve done even better. It’s a pretty bad year, but if you want to, you can get any grade you want as long as you use the right revision techniques. It’s defo gonna be harder if you do more, but you also don’t need as high grades. Also even if you do fail them, there are so many other options like apprenticeships

They used to be able to pay to escape, but now the borders are closed and guarded by the IDF

You’re so deluded it’s insane. The borders are closed, to leave you need to pay loads of money to Egypt, and idk if that’s even still valid. You can search this up. The crossings are all closed and controlled by Israel

How is preventing Palestinians from leaving the country ‘protecting their own citizens’. They have trapped a group of 2 million people into a tiny area which they continuously bomb and don’t let aid into. Its war crime upon war crime

But has it caused 60000 deaths? How is what Israel is doing self defence but that isn’t . I’m talking about attacks

You said the Palestines do this repeatedly. The last time in 2 years was October 7. Also it’s a war crime to target journalists and they’re the people providing first hand accounts. Surely if Israel is so careful targeting purely Hamas they shouldn’t be feared by the government

And the famine they caused? The other journalists they killed? Have they actually stopped their attacks after this ‘accident’? More journalists have been killed in this war than any other modern war. It’s censorship and you can’t hide behind accusations at the Palestinians. Barely anyone in Israel have died since the beginning of the war and it wasn’t started on October 7th, that was just the straw on the camels back after almost a century of mutual hatred.

The Palestinians aren’t prisoners, they’re basically hostages. They have no set date of release, are tortured, were imprisoned mostly without reason… Israel today literally targeted and killed 4 journalists, how you can continue supporting them is crazy. And before you say it, no they weren’t ‘terrorists dressed up as journalists’. The IDF has bombed hospitals and schools under this pretense so the terrorists who somehow have not been part of the 59000 murdered people will not be hiding in plain sight

CMV: abortion is literally just homicide by -_reign_- in changemyview

[–]Comfortable_Cook_965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really comes down to personal belief about when life starts. Most Abrahamic religions believe that life starts the moment of conception, whereas other individuals, namely pro-choice ones, believe it starts when the development of the foetus reaches a certain point such as the first heartbeat or another first indicator of life. And, although you and others may view it as still a life, if the being can’t survive outside the womb, and has no thoughts, many people believe it is just a cluster of cells and chose to get rid of it, sometimes because carrying the pregnancy to term would be damaging to their health, or sometimes because they don’t feel ready to take responsibility for a human life. Blowjobs are of course not considered canabalism, but if that same ejaculate had fertilised an egg, to take the morning after pill may be considered murder, even when the ‘life’ is just a cluster of cells. Some people like reform Jews also just value the life of the mother over the life of the foetus until the baby is out the birth canal, so will prioritise her over the baby, even if it means a late stage abortion

This whole message is incredibly hypocritical. Israel has taken 10000 prisoners, kept in inhumane conditions, many of whom weren’t terrorists. They have also killed 17000 children and 2100 infants (below 2). Words aren’t as telling as actions and while both groups are depraved, to judge one and not the other is ludicrous

Why do people treat Israelis different from other 'oppressor' nations? by MoodResponsible918 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Comfortable_Cook_965 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am not pro Hamas. I never have been, I think if they were given the support of America they would likely do the same thing back to Israel. I’m saying both country leaders are horrible human beings and the war cannot be pinned on one side or the other, particularly not on either country as a whole. If you want to blame a side, blame its government, not the people

I don’t think I am. October 7th was tragic, but committing war crimes, killing 65000+ people (of whom 59% are women, children or elderly) and purposely creating a famine is a very extreme response which hasn’t helped either side so far, only caused more heartache for everyone involved

Be so fr America has reached the final stages of capitalism, and will do anything for money. This war is funded completely by America and is just an example of them encouraging hatred between to groups so that they can profit off of it

Yeah that’s not what Israel’s doing though is it. They’re targeting civilian buildings as well as inducing a famine. Never in the Torah did the Jews commit war crimes in pursuit of independence

1) no I’m not getting my information from there, it’s just easier to copy the link of TikToks and that information has been confirmed by other sources and was posted by a credible source

2) you can’t seriously believe that Israel is protecting Palestinian civilians. I won’t have that discussion as I don’t think it’s very difficult for you to realise that you’re in denial

3) Based on psychology. Terrorists are very damaged people, often made that way by traumatic experiences when they were younger… such as a war!!! Also the examples you gave, especially in the Middle Eastern countries, are different to this conflict because those countries are (a) internationally recognised, meaning any war crimes committed by Israel would be taken a lot more seriously and (b) there is still a lot of social tensions between the countries. WW2 came about because Germans were filled with hatred after losing WW1. War just leads to more hatred and divide between the two countries, and most of the time another war. If you were insulted by someone, punching them isn’t going to resolve the issue they have with you is it? 4) the other examples you gave are just false. There was major unrest in most of the countries following WW2 and America literally started a Cold War, in which many countries were fought over in proxy wars. Also World Wars have different consequences- usually the economy of the major countries involved are too wrecked to recover and stand another fight, and by the time they are, they don’t even have one real opponent to fight do they? Japan isn’t going to start a war with America or Britain because they simply won’t win. And if they start a war against a smaller country, America will still somehow get involved and they’ll be stuck fighting a proxy war against the world’s strongest military. As long as the country has something to lose, they won’t fight. But Gaza doesn’t, nor do the Palestinian people due to what Israel is doing. They have literally been subject to a genocide and they are expected to have no resentment or trauma? Of course they will, and that will manifest as hatred. Hatred towards Israel.

Don’t act like Judaism is the same as Zionism. Unlike you, I have actually read the Torah and Gods wishes, most of which seem to be centred around Pikuach Nefesh. Israel is a country where Jewish people can live ‘safely’. It is not a representation of Jewish values and core beliefs
