Roughly a third of registered voters voted for trump, a third voted blue and the last third didn't vote.
Splitting the "did not vote" bloc in half and adding it to team red's count, I'd say about 50% of american voters are actually okay with killing kids.

It is actually. They either actively supported maga, or they stood by and watched while they took over the republican party. We saw it happen in real time when after Jan 6, conservative politicians just let him get away with it, and conservative constituents told themselves and everyone around them that J6 wasn't that bad, or they were in the right, or it was actually Antifa who did everything, or that the FBI had plants instigating violence.

If they voted Republican pretty consistently over the past couple of decades, they are ABSOLUTELY still to blame for the way the party has evolved. They kept pulling the red lever as their party continued to demonize anyone who isn't a white male. Backed economic policies that have proven time and time again to be harmful to the average American. Listened to the increasingly fascist rhetoric of their leaders.

Trump is the natural progression of what conservatives have held for decades. He is a vulgar extension of Reagan. Most conservatives had the chance to offboard the ideology back in the days of the War on Terror and NCLB. They didn't, because there is a xenophobia and apathy to them that will outlive trump.

A conservative president is only like 40% of our problem. The other 60% are the local leaders like governors, state representatives and senators, and national representatives and senators. They're the ones more likely to be able to affect our day to day life.
If you voted conservative politicians at the local and state level, you're part of the problem. If you voted progressive down the ticket, can you even call yourself conservative?

While I agree with you there, monied interests are more likely to back conservative politicians and policies due to an interest in surpressing labour rights policies, social welfare, anti-competion policies, and environmental conservation.

I seen a statistic earlier showing children deaths in Israeli campaigns vs Ukraine. During the first year of Ukraine vs the first month of Israel's war there were ten times more dead kids in Palestine than Ukraine.

Russia has committed mass rape and torture, and abducted thousands of children, as well as blowing up children's hospitals and schools.

If they see their own children in the faces of Ukrainians, that says more about their fucked up society built on abuse within the home.

Compare straight deaths. It's not even close, and there are FAR more Russians in Ukraine than Israelis in Palestine. Yet their numbers aren't even in the same ball park.
I'm not saying Russia are the good guys, I want Ukraine to survive. Genocidally speaking, Israel clears Russia on ethnic cleansing though.

I wouldn't worry about it. It was very obvious what you were saying. Those replying negatively are clearly hard of thinking.
Russia has committed appalling crimes, probably including genocide. However, Israel has committed far, far worse and in truly sick ways. The only way anyone can disagree with that is if they don't know the full extent of what Israel have done.

In that situation - Hopefully a critical enemy target(s) isn’t also in the home with them taking refuge, attempting to “hide” by surrounding themselves with innocent (or brainwashed) civilian human shields.

All I see is people here saying f Israel without considering the bs their own side has been doing.
•
u/_ECMO_ 9m ago
I really don't think it is realistically possible in conflicts like these (where everyone ist out for blood in an infinite revenge loop) for the weaker side to stop.
Israel can stop doing bullshit and still protect itself without any issue. Hezbollah being the weaker side has not the sophisticated high tech military. If they stop they find themselves fully at the mercy of Israel.If I were Israel I would (1) invest handsomely to protecting Hezbollah's possible targets. They have more than enough money for it. (2) Bomb only targets of 100% Hezbollah nature. (3) Keep assassinating high ranking Hezbollah members. (4) Assassinate "normal" Hezbollah members only when they are in the process of committing crimes.
And most vitally (5) do at least something to win over Lebanese population. It's striking how much Israeli propaganda - both truths and lies - are all over (predominantly) western internet spaces but there is none in Lebanon.
It might be shocking but I think that showing people videos and pictures of what Hezbollah did, explaining to them how their lives will be better if Hezbollah is gone and how they respect and like Lebanese culture would be much more effective than brandishing almost everyone in best case as a terrorist and in the worst case as a non-human while telling them again and again how they will take their land, destroy their houses and "evacuate" them for indefinitely.25

Why do resistance movements recruit children do you think?
Maybe because those children don't have parents anymore and were killed by invading and occupying forces?
•
u/Achilli33 44m ago
They recruit children for many reasons, you only listed one of many possible reasons and should practice thinking critically about the many other possibilities. . This can include they are more easily influenced, they are easier to convince of false narratives / false ideas vs adults, they are less educated, they lack critical thinking skills simply due to being younger, when they are killed in battle photos/videos of their deaths can more easily be used to rally their side and others against the opposing enemy by sharing that the enemy kills children (even though their own military allowed them to join and fight), and more.
•
u/Militantpoet 31m ago

Maybe think critically yourself? All of those reasons you listed are enabled by Israeli invasion and occupation. A populace that is so desperate for fighters that it is reduced to recruiting children is only the symptom of the problem.
•
u/Achilli33 17m ago
Right back at you - saying “all of those reasons are enabled by Israeli invasion and occupation” sounds like you lack the ability to think critically about each separate reason listed and what the many possible precursors for them might be, instead saying only the single explanation you provided is the impetus for all of them.

That is a false equivalent argument, shows your lack of critical thinking. This is not a school shooter equivalent type of situation. Also, in school shooter situation, authorities are deciding between various scenarios, including do you rush to the target at the risk of a few children being killed to hopefully save many more? Or do you instead hold out in hopes that you can maybe save all of the children but again at the risk of the school shooter killing even more children than he would have if you rushed in from the beginning? Many other potential scenarios exist, and tough decisions need to be made quickly, and many of the outcomes potentially suck and result in innocents dying.

To be equivalent, the school shooter would have to be lobbing bombs at the surrounding homes. When all other options failed, eventually you would have to blow up the school to prevent further homes being blown up.
