But you do in assessing proper reaction and punishment to the perpetrator. The wording used to the victim is a thin ice to thread and can be a lot different, completely for good reasons. The wording used to put the perpetrator on trial, especially if it appeals to the jury via public awareness, needs to be very specific, and any deviations from using exact words with right connotations is either used to lighten the crime or make it more vile than it perceptible is.

UN is a political entity as you have hinted before in your previous comment. A state existing can best be measured by its acceptance through the UN usually, but even then one of the 5 imperialist powers can veto a state's recognizance proposal on their whims, and this completely nullifies it as a dependable metric. It comes to the example "All animals are equal, but some are more equal." from Animal Farm without any complexity governing it at all. It just doesn't cause many wars currently, although it does not help ease the stressful atmosphere. And where it causes war and suffering due to some imperial power on the other side of the planet exerting undue and unfair power over the peaceful talks between the sides, it becomes hell on Earth.
It is not better than the previous system if the already powerful can exert influence and claim interest in a local conflict it is not anywhere nearly part of. The strong still strongarm land-grab and killing, without the borders on the map not changing to their own name, but their pawns'. Adding a subterfuge element to it does not make the lives of the victims of the exploited region any more better, just suffocates through removal of oxygen rather than outright stabbing. In the case of Palestine, openly turns it into a concentration camp.
If only the US didn't veto any remotely fair resolution, or failing that proposals for heavy military sanctions against Israel for its genocide, the world could easily have ended this conflict decades ago. US could keep aiding Israel with technology and supplies related to prosperity rather than for one-sided war. Israel could still be a major powerhouse if their sugar mommy wanted, without having to actively expand land and kill innocent babies all around.
How is simply asking for Israel's statehood to be questioned and scrutinized, in the light of its continued genocide and invasion throughout generations and leaders, is asking for war? No such nation has a right to exist!
Original claim is "all of the below can be true: [...] c) Israel has a right to exist."
My counterpoint is a Israel is a state, states are tools, tools don't have a right to exist, and harmful tools shouldn't be kept working so they continue harming people.
Your counterpoint to mine is "If we reject the UN and international law by rejecting Israel's right to statehood, we go back to the rule of the strongest." by which the underlying implication is going backwards in human rights development and betterment of humanity.
Were you championing that we reject UN and international law, and go back to the rule of the strongest? Or were you just stating that UN and international law attached Israel an undeniable right to statehood? How do you make a connection with this to what I'm saying being possibly liked by Putin, without making any implications, then?
Please explain yourself.
"Resolution to enforce the condition is promptly vetoed by the US for the 16th time." Or something very similar would be your answer, probably.
A couple presumptions you make are the very causation for today's problems:
- UN, which deep-seated inequality and over-representation ingrained to it right from its very beginning as giving substantial privileges to 5 WWII winner imperialist powers as permanent members with unconditional veto power, even on resolutions that question their validity, which they have been abusing for as long as the UN existed , as infallible authority.
- The international law, which is used by the aforementioned powers to keep the status quo after they drew the borders and partitioned the world according to their greed, and still circumvent to further their agendas without facing repercussions, as infallible, just and fair compromise and authority.
- Two-State solution with current borders implied. The original and rejected two-state solution that was forced upon Palestinian territories as peaceful division, that also meant to leave the Arabs with bleak desert and give all the shores and fertile lands to Jewish people, which also gave way to acceptance of way fairer division of land with populations and prosperity in consideration, ended in Zionist terrorists causing a contemporary (mainly cultural) genocide. Later attempt at two-state solution was prefaced with Zionist terrorists giving back the occupied land and agreeing to the fairer share of the land, which didn't happen. The idea behind recognizing both Palestine and Israel as states never came to fruition, mainly due to Israel wanting unfair share that would result in a de facto infeasible Palestinian statehood. Israel statehood's only fair foundation is bloodied by their own hands by forcing their statehood with stolen land, off-driven Arabic people, and cultural genocide. Hard to accept such poisonous machines as a useful tool.
One more thing: The strongest already ousted the previous strongest, demonized them and made them the only focus, all the while making the current rules to ensure their own prosperity. They are also making sure these rules continue to be obeyed by the less powerful by enforcing them with waepons of war and purpose-built indirect weapons like exploitative economic implementations.
Lastly, Putin has a lot of people like you that think harmful tools be kept harming people for the sake of keeping the tool/machine on. Putin also has his own circumventions of a just and fair, reason and rules based world order, and subsequently suck dick together with all the democratically-elected de facto western hegemons and the ancestral eastern tyrants.
The State of Palestine hasn't been doing more harm than good, at least in a way that it isn't repaired or kept in check, like continuous genocide and land-grab, is it? You can argue it is run by terrorists and thus it is a malevolent tool, but nevertheless its harm is contained via use of other tools like anti-missile systems and proper border defense. I don't see anyone equipping Palestine with such defensive weapons, which they can use to defend lives and land against Israel while not having to resort to guerilla tactics that necessarily involve offensive strategies for defense.
I'm assuming your first thought at the next response would be the pedantic "But Israel produces its own defensive Iron Dome and nobody gives it to them. So should the decades-long oppressed and deliberately-impoverished Palestine do while under the most heavy bombardment since WWII !. That shows the difference between how civilized world and 3rd world savages deal with threats.".

c) Israel has a right to existence and to security
This has no right to be true. First, a state does not have an intrinsic right to exist. A state is a social tool, crafted to help humans survive and thrive, in coexistence as how it came to be. If tools turn out to be primarily used for war and suffering, they are no longer tools for the betterment of humanity. You can argue Israel stealing more land is a betterment for their people, but the animosity caused during the process is eventually reflecting on the people benefiting from the betterment, both as outside perception and as shifting the thinking of the Israeli people about what is better for humanity, and it is not a good way to go forward.
The State of Israel is a malfunctioning machine that is spewing out more poison than it is manufacturing goodness. Malfunctioning machines need to be repaired, and if they can't be, disabled and discarded/recycled, not kept active and doing harm saying they have a right to exist.
1 year with total blockade on aid and raining down bombs is long enough for life in Gaza to end and Israel to begin settling it over the bones of infants. Sounds good enough for American Zionists to effectively invade and occupy the whole land while saving face through the "we took precautions while regarding UNRWA's integrity" narrative.
Stop being fucking idiots for the nth time in the last 20 years, get rid of the defacto dictator Erdoğan, gain some economic trust by not replacing him with even more stupid and outright religious lunatics that got a lot of courage lately, work legally and financially to retake the seaports, airports, defense industry corps, quarries, etc that were sold mostly to Qatari corps and billionaires, reinstate the border control to prevent the flood of Al-queda, ISIS, PKK-YPG, Hezbollah terrorist blending with illegal refugees (which number more than some European countries' total populations already), work with Syrian dictator and ensure safe return of Syrian refugees and don't let the matter fall into the hands of western or Russian politics this much.
Basically some proper leftist line of thought and actions, which is unfortunately waning very quickly all over the world, for the next decade or two to get on track for development and prosperity.
Disgusting piece of shits, worthless of the air their breath. No matter the nationality, gender, age, skin color, language, life experience, nor any other distinction, maybe barring mental illnesses that can cause such an evil ridicule for human life, can be an understandable reason for such cruelty. Baby killers by obstruction of aid on their way to grow up and continue to be baby killers by guns.
Hope they, along with the other Zionist piece of shits, experience horrific deaths befitting their behaviour.
I know you didn't mean bad by it, but talking about justice like that? I know we don't live in times of Hannibal and an eye for an eye isn't productive or progressive at all, but Israel, and not just the current scpagoat Bibi the Genocider, has decades of oppression and genocide they have to pay for.
To even think about justice, Israel needs to:
- Go back on all the land it invaded and occupies during the current conflict.
- Give back all the land its "settlers" has stolen through gunpoint.
- Give back all the land it has taken through direct military invasion.
- Pay reparation to the next of kin (to those families it didn't wipe out completely).
- Pay for all the public amenities and residential structures it has wiped out over and over, basically rebuilding the country, with the interest accumulated through repeated stifling of the Palestinian country.
- Demilitarized for some decades like the post WWII Germany was justly subjected to.
- Cede to a UN mandate for its defense so it will be kept in check while also being protected.
I don't know why the Jewish people need an ethno-state as if this is the 19th century, but this would be the starters for a justice without uprooting the whole people from the place they have been living in with the land given to them by British lordship and the UN mandate, both of whom have turned a blind eye to genocide, warcrimes and invasions Israel has inflicted in the Middle-East for decades.
Going back to main topic, I don't think Biden will do or say anything about the current landgrab and damage Israel has caused. He'll just play to the downfall of the current scapegoat of the Zionist endeavour, after he has been a good boy for it, and shut the matter until another scapegoat and and excuse for more genocide and landgrab is prepared for the next decade.
Only 3? I thought we were closing on a decade with this joke now.
Putin was picked by the US
I could easily say that for many other current/previous seemingly democratically elected rulers or outright dictators of underdeveloped or developing countries, starting with Kissinger and continuing it with Blinken now, but about Putin? You need to put some evidence, or at least some plausible mental gymnastics, behind this claim so as not to be ridiculed left and right.
While I do share your sentiment on most of these points, I think this guide assumes the person with the problem is already in an intrigued state of mind about the problem. Them being interested about the end result doesn't change this in this matter, as they are interested in getting results AND learning the steps to do that, rather than learning how the steps are constructed by the working of the computer. That applies to computer-literate people (more precisely people who know how to navigate the front-end usually) who are also not related to computer engineering in any time of their lives. They don't need to know the video player program generates logs, let aside having knowledge about how to read them.
However, the people with a computer problem but with no interest in learning how to solve it and just would like it to work without their effort, which I assume the guide doesn't have in mind as target audience, are the type that a lot of people immediately think of when such stuff is mentioned. I'd agree your sentiment applies correctly to this specific type.
So it is preferable for NATO to have an associate that will bomb babies, snipe kids, level hospitals, kill old people for fun, occupy and grab land by force (a total opposite of "defensive pact") on a continent of the world where NATO countries have no land nor a plausible place as a so called defensive organization. Israel isn't in NATO and even has no relation to NATO except if you count NATO as combined exploitative effort of the western countries on other continents.
