    Stopping a genocide by potentially killing far more people than the genocide is killing doesn’t seem like a very good alternative.

      When in history a colonized power was stopped without ton of civilians dying because of the colonizer refusal for peace? Are you telling me that for example that India shouldn’t have resisted the British empire because 100 millions Indian died? I wish there was a world where peace happen without sacrificing a single person, but that’s not the reality.

        When did I say there shouldn’t be resistance?

        Resistance to genocide and an escalating war between two nuclear powers are very different things.

        If you think Iran actually gives a shit about Palestinians and what Israel is doing to them, you’re wrong.

          The Usa and other allies won’t stop supporting Israel politically and military, Palestine can’t beat Israel alone, it need support from other countries . I don’t hear people calling for not escalating against Russia and rightfully so. Both Israel and Russia are occupiers.

          Yes Iran doesn’t really care about Palestinians but their interests align with supporting armed groups against Israel

            You don’t seem to get it. There won’t be a Palestine if this war keeps escalating. Because Iran will annihilate it along with Israel.

            Believe it or not, Palestine doesn’t have a giant radiation shield.

            Also, the idea that millions of dead Israelis and Iranians even if nukes aren’t used is worth it because of Palestine is extremely ethically messed up.

                Wait… so now your argument is that in order to stop Gaza’s destruction, Gaza has to be made unlivable in a nuclear war?

                  No what I’m saying is the only option right now for palestinians and countries that have interest in a weaker Israel is to use armed struggle . Even with tactical nuke, it’s not possible to nuke Gaza without having a huge effect on Israeli land.

                  I’m still waiting for your answer for what’s is preventing Israel from destroying Palestine completely right now.

                    Believe it or not, I am not privy to Israeli military policy. I do, however, understand how radiation works and I also understand that advocating for killing more people than a genocide has already killed to stop the genocide is supremely ethically messed up.

                    Would you also say that every single Israeli should be killed to stop the genocide in Gaza? Do you think a good solution to stop a genocide is a different genocide?
