Middle East Conflict

[The Future’s Blue!]

I think that will resonate with quite a few and hopefully this break can have a lasting effect.

I don't think anyone is claiming any "equivalence". Each party is nasty in its own way.

No equivalence of course but Israel doesn't need to take hostages when it can just detain people without trial. Attacking villages and killing unarmed civilians is wrong, it's just the scale of it that isn't "equivalent".

Even the Shin Bet recognises the issue.

Shin Bet chief tells PM Jewish terror incites Palestinian terror

Analysis: Netanyahu also repeatedly warned by IDF that enemies are emboldened by military's need to respond to growing West Bank violence amid refusal of volunteers for reserve duty to show up in protest of the judicial legislation

Responding with equal force is a mug’s game!

Change “Capone” to “Hamas” and you’ll get where I’m coming from! “That’s the Chicago way!”

I thought the clip was advocating an eye for an eye, even if against the law.

Elliot Ness didn't deal with Capone by obliterating half of Chicago and killing and maiming thousands of innocents.

This must be the worst illustration of "false quivalence" in the thread.

And just as another boss replaced Capone something with a different name would replace Hamas, should they be eliminated. History as told through Hollywood .... deluded.

I'm sure Hamas will take note. And round and round we go.

No, it wasn’t an eye for an eye, it was a hand for a finger, a leg for a foot. It was ASYMMETRY, which is exactly what you’re decrying.

Terrorists gonna inflict terror.
States gonna protect themselves.
Yes, round and round, until….?

Really? That was your takeaway? Hollywood “history”?

Btw, do you know the name of the Italian mafia boss in Chicago these days?

Yawn. It was to highlight the crux of the post I made, which was clearly missed, either by not watching the clip or simply not understanding what it said.

Outstanding addition to the discussion, though. Thanks for catching the fact I misspelled a word.
