    Oh fuck off with that hexbear lemmygrad shit. I’m not talking about war as some nebulous concept, I’m saying raping and killing civilians is bad regardless of if you’ve been wronged or not. If that’s a controversial opinion to you, I have nothing more to discuss.

      And in every real war that has been fought, including the allies in WW2, heinous shit has happened.

      Do the war crimes of the allies in WW2 mean that they were wrong to fight?

        Ah yes, I forgot about that time Churchill bombed a German music festival and raped the survivors.

        See, that’s the exact kind of whataboutism I’m talking about. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and frankly I suspect the only reason you give a shit is because hating Israel is such a hot tankie talking point right now.

        Let me guess, Palestine needs to throw off its oppressors, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a totally justified military operation?
