My point in the other thread is that the “fight for every inch” position is not sustainable - something that it patently is not and more so now given one of America’s genuine allies will be dipping the same stockpiles (of weapons and money) that Zelensky needs. I’m more than happy to discuss that on that thread.
Two nation states at war is a palpably different scenario from what we see today. Regardless, I’ve been clear and consistent about civilian deaths and war crimes in all conflicts as unwelcome although arguably inevitable.
However what Israel are doing so brazenly is on a scale beyond what we have seen elsewhere.
Yet we are all dutifully expected to bow down and reiterate her right to defend herself every time the conflict is mentioned, when legitimate defence probably expired on Monday or Tuesday. Something that could reasonably be anticipated by anyone who parroted it last weekend and seen now by anyone who still parrots it.
