Key difference:
For Palestinians arming themselves in self-defense, profit is successful self-defense, and potentially justice.
For genocidal arms manufacturers, profit is printing more money than you spend, until suddenly, at an older, wiser age, profit is getting away with your war crimes.
Everyone always claims self-defense. It's an irrelevant argument.
You always start off making just enough for your own situation, but economies of scale make it easy to run up production, and then you start specializing and exporting. And exporting the arms helps you finance your war, so it's a vicious cycle, and you just keep doubling-down.
You literally just said self-defense is an irrelevant argument
How do you sleep at night?
Are you claiming that it is relevant? It's a completely subjective argument based largely upon feels and sliding time scales.
The Other Side ™️ is always the aggressor and the arguments usually go back hundreds or even thousands of years.
I am claiming Palestine was the aggressor and Israel is defending itself. You would claim the opposite. We are both right. We are also both wrong.
That is why wars are stupid and generally to be avoided.
i wish i never commented on that stupid shit this morning
Also, don't bother calling it genocide. I'm not someone attending Womens' Studies classes at Yale, and learning to make vulva-shaped ashtrays out of organic, fair-trade clay, while sipping green smoothies and fretting over how life is unfair and we need to be nicer to the little brown people.
I am a serious person from a military background and this is a conversation about strategic thinking.
The Palestinians would have been better off talking about their retarded plans with someone shrewd like me, rather than basking in the light of the Decadent Bored Overemotional Midwits, but they were too silly to do that, which is why they quickly got their ass handed to them and people are now making plans to turn their homeland into a beach resort.
Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
I hate to say this but I feel like your IQ might be low enough to be one of those people that's been saying Hamas should release the hostages ever since Oct 7
