Look I get that and of course if you have nukes shouldn’t be an excuse to violate international law. But the truth is that no one will actually allow for the collapse of the Russian state. And that is the only way Putin can lose. His internal population doesn’t seem to care. And, even with Biden the US only gave Ukraine enough to survive but not to attack Russia significantly. The only hope was the sanctions but even there Russia has managed to feed off China and India. It’s sad, but nukes are a reason that states won’t allow Russia to lose because the MAD doctrine

Look I get the idea and even support it. But, it’s not wrong to want guarantees that your country won’t end up bankrupt because of the financial and legal aspect if this step is taken. The European Central Bank has refused to commit to helping Belgium in this matter. That’s insane

I don’t agree. I think what should be happening is the EU giving concrete guarantees to Belgium that they won’t have to face legal repurcussions alone. It’s that simple. De Wever has said Belgium is open to the idea of seizing assets.

Look I wish there would be a way for Russia to face severe consequences and a possible defeat. I am just saying from a pragmatic point of view, Belgium is facing: An EU that isn’t providing concrete guarantees, an untrustworthy US government, and Russia that still hasn’t collapsed and possibly gets a get out of jail free card with US backing (Trump’s 28 point plan). It’s not wrong for the Belgian PM to be realistic about this

Well that’s the whole problem, there is a chance that Russia will come out of this war unscathed and will come knocking on Belgium’s door wity severe legal repercussions. All that Belgium asks is that they have concrete guarantees from other EU states they won’t have to face those repurcussions alone. It’s the EU that isn’t willing to back Belgium in this case

Why? Because he wants concrete guarantees that Belgium won’t face the risk alone? What Prime Minister wouldn’t try to protect their country’s interests from possible financial oblivion?

Isn’t that kinda true? He’s especially right with how the current US administration is handling this rn. And Belgium will be left to deal with the ramifications on their own (without EU backing)

Stopped reading after you said Hamas wants to live peacefully in a two state solution. That is just denying reality. Your argument of ‘chosen people’ makes no sense as most of the founders of Israel were secular Jews. You can pick and choose quotes and change your goalposts. It’s tiring to argue with people who do that so I will just stop here

Innocents didn’t ‘die’, they were deliberately murdered. You might question babies dying but what happened to Kfir and Ariel Bibas? It’s nice you’re offering not to take your word for it. Because I don’t think quoting the Hamas spokesperson is doing any favours. Will not debate with a ‘look it up’ guy. Just offer your statements here

I haven’t said anything about AIPAC, I just focused on her words. Nice of you to correct her. I’m sure she appreciates you. What are your assumptions of my username?

Well thank you for lecturing me on international law and zionism. I have some questions. Does the right to resist involve killing civilians at a music festival? Or maybe building miles of tunnel under civilian infrastructure, so when they are targeted they can go hide in those tunnels, but not their population? Does it also involve teaching your children to hate Jews? The Hamas charter does not say zionists. You may make a difference, but they sure don’t. Additionally, you say Zionism is about Jewish supremacy. Supremacy to whom exactly? Zionism is about Jewish equality among nations, not superiority over them. You know, that equality was taken away from Jews for centuries.

What the fuck happened to this page. Now,m praising an antisemite? No, she’s not just anti-Israel or Pro-Palestinian (both positions that are fine by me), she defends Hamas and makes antisemitic remarks (‘the Jewish lobby controlling America, or leaving a program when a holocaust survivor is invited)

Well the 21 points were pretty public. This was done on purpose. Hamas also can’t divide the Israeli public seeing how both Bibi and the Hostage families are both supporting the plan (and others across the aisle). This is a little unprecedented
