  • “You’ve gotten a lot of credit for emphasizing the humanity of Palestinians. But what I often hear from folks is that there is no policy change that either you or President Biden said you would do. Is there a policy change as president that you would do in our helping of Israel in this war?”

    “We need to get this deal done,” Harris replied, “and we need to get it done immediately. And that is my position. And that is my policy.”

    Daniels followed up. “But in the way that we send weapons and the way we interact as their ally, are there specific policy changes?”

    Harris said that she was “entirely supportive” of the Biden administration’s decision to pause a shipment of weapons. She then quickly turned back to a need for a ceasefire agreement.

    The line of questioning was the toughest Harris has faced on the issue, which remains a source of deep frustration among some Democratic voters over what they see as the party’s effort to push Gaza into the margins of political discourse. Harris’ answers on Tuesday, which relied heavily on boilerplate campaign points, are unlikely to quell that criticism.

    Sorry how are those hard questions? Or just a sign of how little the press asks about it?

















  • It’s how they describe themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purity_of_arms

    The soldier shall make use of his weaponry and power only for the fulfillment of the mission and solely to the extent required; he will maintain his humanity even in combat. The soldier shall not employ his weaponry and power in order to harm non-combatants or prisoners of war, and shall do all he can to avoid harming their lives, body, honor and property. — Spirit of the Israel Defense Forces

    Not responding further. I’m in no way accusing anyone of justifying anything, I’m quoting the appropriate section of the article relevant to the fallacy.

    No shit, all you’ve done is say hamas bad so idf okay then get upset when everyone points out that’s not an argument.

    Even here you’ve done nothing but try to take the moral high ground in an area you clearly need to educate yourself more on.
