I thought this was a good joke but apparently you might be saying this unironically?

I've gotten a few things from the street when college students move out, if you have a university or college town nearby and you know the right days there could be a plethora of pefectly good desks, chairs or whatever left outside. Like regul said I've heard people have good results on facebook marketplace but I've never used it.

They really don't make things like they used to also, talking about things falling apart. If you can get good quality vintage stuff I think it's worth it, I have a wood and metal office chair from the 80s that is rock solid, from goodwill for less than 20 bucks.

True, I don't think pragmatic people in the arms industry would push for genocide, a more drawn out, even conflict would be better for their profits probably. But if there is one they can make money on they will, even if one side is eradicated and the fighting stops there are always other conflicts.

In the example of Israel, if they succeed in eradicating their current target (Palestine) there will be more enemies for them to fight, so they would still be a valuable client of Lockheed Martin et al.

I guess you haven't met the defense contrators, weapons manufacturers and politicians who are rich because of wars and genocide. I haven't personally met many of them either, average people don't associate with those types.

True, I shouldn't say the world, just major Western powers like the US and it's allies.

I believe the words of the dozens of doctors and independent aid workers, the footage of atrocities, the long history of atrocities, more than the words of the people killing them (IDF propaganda). It's not like this is the 1700s and there are no photos or direct evidence.

They have found many bodies wrapped in plastic, contrary to any normal practice, sometimes with medical devices like catheters still attached. Some people may have been buried alive.

I'm sorry the truth hurts you.

What does it matter if they have other political motives? The world is enabling their utter annihilation, children, babies, innocent people with no political ambition. That must be stopped before we wring our hands about what they might do with freedom. They are human beings, people with lives and families, not wild rabid animals.

Hamas has been given millions of dollars by Israel over the years while any other potential political group has been surpressed. Without Israel they may actually have a chance at forming alternative groups. There is already the blood of nearly 40,000 Palestinians on our hands.

They are just missing the next panel, where both tracks lead to the annihilation of all Palestinians.

The war is about ending Hamas and destroying the tunnel system

That may have been arguable on Oct. 8th, but no one with eyes and a brain buys that anymore. It is a war of annihilation, they are destroying all of Gaza and crushing hopes of a Palestinian nation. The Israeli establishment has made it clear they don't support a Palestinian state of any kind.

Even during this current escalation they have continued to annex land in the West Bank, what does that have to do with Hamas or tunnels?
