(821 posts)I'm pointing out the hollow logic you're using. Notice how you just went to claims that I'm part of an insidious plot against Jewish people rather than actually trying to argue against what I said?
Pretending that one group of people can't commit war crimes because war crimes were committed against that group historically isn't a valid argument. As noted there's a correlation between the abused becoming the abuser. Merely claiming it's impossible isn't evidence. Please explain why you think it's impossible or accept that you're going to get pushback on a theory that isn't supported by logic or history. That you haven't defended what Israel is doing, instead deflecting about the war crimes committed by Hamas or claims of antisemitism, suggests that you can't.
But let's take another example. The George W Bush administration used the threat of terrorism to justify torture. Was that acceptable because al Queda and then ISIS have committed terrorism and war crimes? I would say no because one crime doesn't justify another.
