lolcatnip,

As far as I know, Brexit was caused more by Brits not liking economic policies of the European Union, though I am not that knowledgeable about UK politics.

I’m not that knowledgeable, being an American, but my understanding is that Brexit was mainly the result of racism, and of English people falling for easily disproven lies about the economic impact of EU membership. I’d like to think that what I lack in direct experience of British politics, I make up for with direct experience of the exact same bullshit in American politics.

lolcatnip,

Gosh, why would anyone think Israel is bad?

lolcatnip,

The issue isn’t whether anyone is surprised by it.

lolcatnip,

while trying to minimize civilian deaths

If that’s what they’re trying to do, they really fucking suck at it.

And the motivation, methods, intentions, and circumstances don’t matter a bit to the victims and their loved ones.

lolcatnip,

Who’s “they”, exactly? Certainly not the average Israeli or Palestinian.

lolcatnip,

Everyone with two neurons to rub together knows their “notice” is nothing more than a fig leaf. They know it’s impossible for more of the people there to actually evacuate.

lolcatnip,

“They” meaning the civilians being killed?

lolcatnip,

No more than you want to spin everything as “Israel good”.

lolcatnip,

No, it’s not. Facts are statements about what is. Statements about what should be—which is what moral statements are—are always opinions.

I can’t fucking believe I’m arguing with people who literally don’t know what the word opinion means. It’s not rocket science.
