In case you're wondering just how much this guy sucks
https://www.yahoo.com/news/im-atheist-israel-hamas-war-102320046.htmlAnd calls from the progressive left for a cease-fire because there have been more Palestinian casualties than Israeli casualties is a bizarre false equivalency that would argue that the penalty for robbing a bank of $500 should be a $500 fine. Israel’s response to the Hamas attack is designed to prevent future attacks, not create a tit for tat that would promote a never-ending state of danger with a terrorist organization whose goal is to finish what Adolf Hitler started.
cool equivalence. very potent "I paid $1000 to hunt an unhoused family who only generates $1000 of value for the community" energy here.
True, the penalty for robbing a bank should be levelling the entire neighborhood the robbers lived in. The deaths of the neighbors is the robbers fault, because he was using them as human shields
The fact that he brings up a hypothetical bank robbery for his god awful analogy just highlights why I fucking hate the human shields narrative
No one would accept it if that excuse was used by cops who responded to a bank robbery even if the robbers were literally using people as human shields
Anyone who's willing to shoot through a "human shield" is just a fucking murderer
Like if I was in a situation where a genuinely bad guy was hiding behind a child I would simply not shoot at the child
No one would accept it if that excuse was used by cops who responded to a bank robbery even if the robbers were literally using people as human shields
No they would, this is where the concept of "Stockholm Syndrome" comes from. There was a bank robbery in Stockholm. The robbers took hostages. The cops and government decided that killing eveyrone to save capitalism was a good idea. The hostages had to negotiate with the government on the robber's behalf to keep the government from killing everyone, and some of them actually became friends with the robbers.
Afterwards a psychologist who never spoke to anyone involved decided the only explanation was, pardon my french, "Bitches be crazy" and shat out the idea that the women had fallen in love with their captors because of some incomprehensible mysogynist farting noises.
Everyone forgot where the concept came from but the idea that stuck and now people believe that if hostages get released thinking their captors had good points it can be safely written off as a mental health problem.
Oof. I hope this guy is completely ignornat because otherwise skip the
go straight to the 
cuck pit.They're a professional columnist, they have no excuse for being ignorant in subjects they write about.
