hugopal It’s debatable if any invasion of the Falklands even took place by the UK

      zackster if you actually own the place already you’re not invading it. At that point in time it was the UK who owned it and Argentina who had invaded.

          hugopal lol of course! The exact same logic you used for Israel and the settlements!

              Well yeah I mean - as I’ve pointed out before the region was owned by the Ottoman Empire before the British won it off them when they already were at war.
              There’s also a difference between invading a country before they have done anything to you (Germany on Poland, Arab League on Israel, Russia on Ukraine), and invading another country as a response to them having invaded you first.

                Along_the_Wire is it fair too simply assume that I don’t agree with murder, torture and kidnapping of innocent civilians

                It’s amazing that anyone will argue against this position.

                All of you taking a firm side are either emotionally and irrationally tied to that position or ignorant to the history of this conflict. Regardless of who is “wrong” on whatever timescale you’ve cherry-picked, killing civilians and propagating conflict isn’t a solution. Indiscriminate killing on both sides only ensures that future generations are still entrenched in an endless war. It’s a carbon copy of 20th century American foreign policy and we’ve seen what that does to extremism and terroism.

                Maybe it’s time for a different strategy, but then we’d have to have the discussion about the influence of magical thinking on society and we all know that’s not happening anytime soon.

                This shit makes me want to cheer for climate change.

                    hugopal If the Palestinians couldn’t countenance there being a war, they shouldn’t have launched an invasion.

                    “Palestinians” didn’t launch the invasion, Hamas did. Stop conflating the two.

                        Hugo and co love using IDF talking points and tactics such as this to dehumanize arabs.

                          mono-stereo “Palestinians” didn’t launch the invasion, Hamas did. Stop conflating the two.

                          Am I going to have to go through the same conversation with you as I just had with Grant?! The Allies weren’t just at war with the Nazi party in the 1940s, it was with Germany. Ukraine aren’t just at war with Putin, they are fighting Russia. The same is the case with this other totalitarian state.
