    “I don’t want the response to horrific things to be more horrific things inflicted on those who have no control of these events.”

    That seems pretty cut and dry…

      I mean that to be a bit deeper.

      We (the US) tend to stick our dicks in places when there’s some clear advantage or disadvantage to not doing it. We’re usually cock-blocking communist advances or looking to control natural resources.

      It’s one thing to say you’re going in because this event happened or that event happened, but it’s pretty damned clear that this is Israel trying to kill off what’s left of Palestine. Why are we so deep into this?

        Who is we and deep into what?

        I simply responded to your statement that you couldn’t think of a way to express the position without sounding as if you were against another people.

        It feels very very simple.

        The actions of those who cause harm to innocent people are deplorable. Those who order such actions or commit them, should be held accountable. I don’t have to say any proper nouns or even make it specific to this conflict to express that.
