So Israel break international law and then Starmer asks Iran to just suck it up, saying it will put the ceasefire in jeopardy, ignoring the fact that Israel just assassinated the lead negotiator. What in the bloody fuck?

    Can you arbitrarily provide me with evidence of what you think about any given thing with the precise context I think is important? Because, if not, I don’t see why you’d expect this of anyone else.

      any given thing

      literally the thing we’re talking about

      the precise context I think is important

      literally any context other than this specific one

       

      if you only ever bring up how israel needs to face international justice in the context of iran facing international justice, it kind of sounds like you don’t really care about israel facing international justice

        Do you write down every opinion you have and publish it in case someone asks you to prove that you think it at a later date? That is what you’re asking of me.

        As far as I know, you have the opposite problem. Have you ever demanded international justice for Iran without also demanding it for Israel? Prove it! It’s a ridiculous standard.

          my account is 3 days old and your account is over 300 days old

          you’ve been plenty active in feddit.uk over the past few months, which has had plenty of news stories to pick from where it would’ve been a relevant remark, and it’s not like you haven’t spoken about israel during that time, and the harshest thing you’ve had to say about the situation is now, but only in the context of iran also deserving international justice

            Do you think my Lemmy experience represents the totality of my views? Can you give me a specific number of months on Lemmy I can use before it’s fair for me to judge all of your opinions?

              oh we’re playing the “draw the precise, exact line” game, are we?

              whatever that line is, a year and multiple times talking specifically about israel seems like enough time to get across a sentiment more negative than “i guess israel is kind of bad, but we can’t be too hasty about these things”

                I look forward to the day when you’ve have also written down the sum total of your opinions on one public forum, so that you can be judged on the grounds you consider fair.

                  i’m not asking for the sum total of your opinions

                  i’m asking for any evidence an opinion which you’ve previously been happy to provide on several past occasions isn’t in piss-baby centrist territory

                    Purity tests and insults are self-defeating. How about engaging with the substance of what people in this thread are saying?
