Over the last three months, the statement, "I'm just against war." has become the smart person's response for stupid people.
Of course, every good person wants war to end; but, every smart person knows that there are evil people in the world that won't let that utopia happen.
Genocide is worse than war. The coordinated rape of women and children, on the basis of race, is worse than war.
No reasonable person would call for a ceasefire against the Nazis after they invaded Poland on the simple basis of opposing War.
What Israel is dealing with now is the Nazis with fewer resources. The goals are the same as the Nazis, and stated as such.
If Hamas were populated by white people, we would see this whole conflict as Jews wiping out a bunch of skinheads.
Since Hamas is populated by people with a bit more melanin, the leftist racists have an out.
