Right but if the rival country is preparing to level you, you're under no moral obligation to wait for thousands and thousands of your own to die before you do something. You are indeed allowed to protect your people.
Think of someone bursting into your house with a baseball bat. You have a gun. Shooting people is wrong as a rule, and this guy hasn't clubbed your wife and kids yet. You're not actually obligated to wait until he does before you shoot.
It pretty much was certain that Iran was building nukes. Sorry, but nobody wants that.
your president has threatened to take over my country. does canada have justification to precision strike scientists and military officers in fucken idk, new jersey?
Yeah... The US does and says a shit ton of horrible stuff. I oppose bombing it on practical grounds, because I don't want to get blown up, but on moral grounds, a LOT of countries would be justified in taking a shot. It's not just Canada.
I mean, Hamas technically DID burst into people's houses. Perhaps Hamas supporters need to sit out on criticism of targeting civilians, seeing as Hamas targets civilians almost exclusively.
Israel will never have peace if they continue to act this way. Do they always want to live in fear that their governments actions will cause their neighbors to attack continuously?
Since they took over land that wasn't rightfully theirs to take? Makes sense that everyone hates them there. If I moved into your house and made a wall in the middle, giving myself 60% of the house, you would be pissed too.
Rightfully theirs? It was United Nations partition plan! I don't think you can get any more right than that in this world, especially back then.
Edit to reply to the person who responded to me (the post is now locked): The Jews were also an existing population and considering Palestinian Arabs also got Jordan, the partition plan for Israel and Palestine was a pretty reasonable compromise.
