I never trust or even take seriously anyone who claims to be remotely concerned about world tragedies, conflicts or human suffering.

People are either personally involved or they are simply narcissists seeking the moral high ground.

Morals and codes are a bad joke dropped at the first sign of trouble ( cant believe Im quoting that corny movie.)

Covid has outed everything and everyone, and rubbed it in any cynic's face.

Am I the asshole ? Don't know, don't care.

I have no issue with them taking out Hamas/Palestine. Its their enemies, and they were provoked (this time).
Take no prisoners, wipe it all out.... Start over...

Hamas is not Palestine. Nevertheless, we don't see Palestinians condemn their actions..

I’ve been talking with people and I have to be honest and say I don’t give one fuck about Israel. I don’t care what happens to who or how and everyone asking for donations is really pissing me off. GET FUCKED. if it has nothing to do with the USA why should I give a fuck? Same goes for every country nothing personal with Israel.

As a rule - any time I ask “Am I the asshole?” - the answer is typically a resounding YES 😂

BUT - no in this case I do not think you are an asshole. Israel is a terrorist state EXACTLY the same as Palestine (Hamas)

I really don’t understand the people who actually believe the Republican Party is “good” - are they better than Democrats?? Currently HELL YES. But that’s a dismally low bar. Both parties are war hawks. Every war we have been in since the OG in 1776 has been intentional and planned.

So in short - fuck Israel

Why would they when Israel immediately bombs their homes and punish them?

Those baby stories are just bullshit Jewish media Jerusalem
CNN
 —
The Israeli government has not confirmed the specific claim that Hamas attackers cut off the heads of babies during their shock attack on Saturday, an Israeli official told CNN, contradicting a previous public statement by the Prime Minister’s office.

“There have been cases of Hamas militants carrying out beheadings and other ISIS-style atrocities. However, we cannot confirm if the victims were men or women, soldiers or civilians, adults or children,” the official said.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that people had been beheaded by Hamas in an appearance beside Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday, but did not specify if they were children.

This was insanely reckless by Biden, now the narrative is set amongst the public that Hamas is a bunch of baby decapitating savages and there’s no way to correct it.

No. You aren't an asshole and I don't personally care about Israel either, any more than I care about any other country.

I do think that we have our way of life at least in part because of how we manipulate the rest of the world. I think there are national interests in keeping other regions divided. I can see why having a strong Israel would be beneficial to the USA. But there are also ways that it can hurt us with other countries in the region. I think it is healthy to have continual re-evaluations of our relationships to other countries to see how much it benefits us versus harms us.

I think being pro-Israel is different from being against anti-semitism or against terrorism. I think lobbyists and special interests have a clear agenda in blurring that distinction.

You’re not an asshole any more than I’m an asshole.

Now that I think about it, maybe we’re both assholes.

What do I know.

Either way, I’d open my home to you at any time, brother.

This world consistently and profoundly saddens Fortress.

Israel is one of the wealthiest, most well armed countries in the world.  The idea of donating to them is laughable.

I agree with you, that money should be spent helping Americans and improving this country.  Lord knows we have enough problems of our own

This. They have wealth, advanced weapons (nuclear as well) and extremely well connected and effective diaspora in every country. They are the last nation that needs help.

People are drawn to emotions.

Doesn't matter if it is real, it will gain him popularity among the masses because everyone can agree beheading babies is terrible.

I know i'm an asshole, but it has little to do with my disdain for the middle east and anything to do with religion.

Also, i haven't watched the news or kept up with whatever the current "thing/issue" is for 6 years.

Couldn't give a fuck about anything outside my personal realm of existence.

And my life has never been better.

I don't know that it can be as easily dismissed as you're claiming.  I heard it on multiple news networks.  It occurred to me, due to the gruesome nature, that it was propaganda. 

But just because Hamas MAY not have beheaded babies doesn't mean that they're great people.  They're murderers and terrorists.

I didn't know Biden had commented on it. However he weighs In on a topic is totally worthless. He's totally worthless in every sense of the word except for his ill gotten financial gains.

Either way, if the nicest thing you can say about Hamas is they may not have beheaded babies then I wouldn't be too concerned about their reputation anyway.

If you, your family or friends are not involved, why would you care? I don't watch or read any general news anymore, we gain nothing from it. The less I know the better.

I more or less feel the same way.

I heard a story on the radio about what Hamas had done to babies in the areas they attacked. Horrible.  Just fucking awful. But there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. Israel might as well be Mars. Even if I had the ability to personally execute everyone responsible for such an attack, there would still be people alive that harbor those ideologies and the problem would persist. So what's to be done?

How the fuck should I know? What I know is everyone is asking for more, restaurants,  groceries,  gasoline,  taxes, rent, insurance, bank fees, etc... and no one gives a shit about my personal problems except me.

So, no I don't think you're an asshole. I think the world is fucked, there's a lot of divisiveness across the globe, a lot of people are at a breaking point,  and moreover there's always, ALWAYS, somebody preaching to you about how you need to care about their problems and if you don't well then you're clearly a racist, bigot, chauvinist,  homophobe, anti-semite blah blah blah. Yeah.....just fuck off.

I'm hearing that the beheading of babies might be bullshit Israeli propaganda.

Yeah, that's the rumor. I would prefer to believe that did NOT happen.  And anyone who would invent such a claim. Id a sick fuck in their own right. But no one can say one way or the other. The story is out there and it's a sad state of affairs that the U.S. President can say he SAW the photos and that we all know that we can't trust a single word that demented fuck says.
