    I got the point exactly youre just sitting here going "the american revolution happened so nothing is for certain" as if it makes you a wise man when there is no relationship. That s*** has no relevance whatsoever i might as well point out how Eli Manning beat the 16-0 Patriots.

    no, dummy. the point is war is not as simple as "this nation has the bigger more organized army so they'd win"

    its actually funny that you bring up eli beating the 16-0 patriots because i guess in a weird way its a good parallel for this. the patriots on paper had the better team and conventional wisdom would have told you to bet on them. but the giants actually had a team that matched up very well to them since any one with football knowledge would tell you that the best way to slow a great offense is by pressuring the quarterback, and the giants had a terrific defensive line that season, which allowed them to commit more men to coverage (and they weren't bad in that department either). couple that with a bit of luck and mistakes by the patriots (asante samuel dropping an INT, the helmet catch) and its clear that a***yzing conflict is never as simple as "x is bigger/better than y so they'll win"

    It's called variance. If that game was played 100 times, Patriots would win like 65 times.

    I agree tho that there's variance/luck in war too.

    So mfs get conquered and their land stolen and they want a redo? Go conquer them back or make a deal like this one. Saying "no fair" is not a solution.

    Bruv it ain’t simple as that. The UK, which was the protectorate of Palestine after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, started to give Palestine for the Jews of Europe as an apology for the european atrocities

    Then Palestinians were slowly dispossessed of their land until the war and the Nakba happens where around one million Palestinians were forcibly drove out of Palestine so they’d create space for the state of Israel.

    They lack the nuance needed in actual politics to come to realistic solutions. Instead they appeal to base emotions to make it seem like if you don’t agree with them you’re some kind of monster

    As long as Israel keeps occupying Palestinian land and deny their basic human rights, while literally killing and jailing children and women...then its death to israel.

    If by nuance you mean shutting up and be okay with what the West proposes for us, then we don’t want your nuance. We will continue to demand the impossible and wage war. Libtards like y’all being complicit with the status quo and remaining silent despite the atrocities happening in Palestine is the problem

    Algeria liberated itself by bombing the French out. Senegal decapitated colonial soldiers. Kenya, Somalia, Iraq... and the list goes on. If you call these people crazy because they wanted their own liberation, then we know very well which side you are on, i.e. the coloniser and the imperialist. Nobody wants to kill, but if we are being killed on a daily basis, do you want us to remain silent and be an easy pry for a hungry death machine that violates every international agreement? We are gonna return the same hand they give us and some more

    i've argued with them in the past to know it's not worth holding a discussion because they won't acknowledge any form of nuance or context outside their bubble and assumptions. i'm not arguing with someone who's going to tell me my own positions

    Your "nuanced" opinions always seem to loop back around to supporting the status quo though, isnt that interesting
