No. Hundreds of thousands will die in response to hundreds dying. The comic is still fully accurate even if "a single missile" is still condemnable.
Just look at the US military, we already have
This isn't a good reason
I felt just like this after 9/11. I don't know enough about your country to tell you what the right thing to do is. But I wish that the USA could go back in time and just gradually assassinate Al Queda with the CIA instead or something. Those occupations were doomed from the start.
Where did I mock the victims? Do not put words in my mouth. Can you not make a half-sound argument without lying?
It IS NOT a disproportionate representation. THAT'S THE POINT.
I am very sorry you fail to realize what death Israel will doll out in response, but this comic is completely accurate in the proportions displayed.
You LITERALLY have fighter jets and bombers striking back against ... paragliders with guns...
Again, NO ONE except fucking losers are saying Hamas did anything good. That doesn't make murdering dozens of thousands of Palestinians OK.
"history repeats itself" as in the people who only condemn needless killing when Hamas does it, but ignore the Palestinian cause the rest of the time.
Yes, it's not a perfect caricature, Crimea river
Rules of the internet: you can safely discard everything that comes before the ", but"
If ignoring context helps you feed your bias, go for it.
The soundness of your argument should not depend on your stance. It is a common tactic to state that you are "pro-X" but criticize X, because people are more likely to sympathize with your criticism that way. The commenter you replied to is simply reminding us of this.
