I was just reading about how a current Israeli war minister’s son died in combat and it made me wonder that if Israeli’s politicians who make these decisions know their family will be affected by it personally and directly, does that lend towards the suggestion that it is more likely they are making genuinely ethically and morally correct decisions to engage in war stuff given their personal skin i the game?

It would seem totally different from American politicians like Cheney who create bullshit geopolitical conflicts knowing full well their progeny will never be touched by it…

Edit: I’m assuming they actually care/give a shit about their offspring and family, even if only just for appearences

    I don’t support the state of Israel

    Oh, you don’t, pretend anarchist? Perhaps you want to start acting like it, then?

    They came from Israel

    My ancestors were refugees from the Netherlands - so where is my right to murder, torture and rape my way through Rotterdam, eh, pretend anarchist?

    don’t also have a rightful place on the land

    You mean like Jewish people had in Palestine long before the creation of the white supremacist settler-colonialist state called Israel?

    You call yourself an anarchist - yet you so easily fall for this ethno-nationalist bullcrap? Methinks the fascist that is inside your head is alive and well - perhaps yo want to do something about that before calling yourself an anarchist.
