I was just reading about how a current Israeli war minister’s son died in combat and it made me wonder that if Israeli’s politicians who make these decisions know their family will be affected by it personally and directly, does that lend towards the suggestion that it is more likely they are making genuinely ethically and morally correct decisions to engage in war stuff given their personal skin i the game?

It would seem totally different from American politicians like Cheney who create bullshit geopolitical conflicts knowing full well their progeny will never be touched by it…

Edit: I’m assuming they actually care/give a shit about their offspring and family, even if only just for appearences

      If I was going to be racist I wouldn’t have waited to do it on your watch, it would be in the Title/description where I speak very highly about them if the points I made are consistent with the reality of who they are and how their daily reality is.

      Think before you pull the race card, actually please shove it up your ass, its far less often about race than the highly paid consultants and the lowly in status and intelligence ambulance-chasing SJWs like yourself would otherwise have it.

      What are you trying to distract from?

      Or maybe if you see racism everywhere, you’re the problem.
      A big part of the problem that the average person has in relation to race is that they constantly need to be aware of it as to not offend someone who looks to deep into it, and usually isn’t even part of the race that’s supposedly offended. This constant awareness tends of lead to people forming actual opinions about race.

      If your opinion is that jews should not be criticized because they happen to be jews, and you say that as a deflection from the actual argument, you now created someone who has more dislike towards jews because their race is used as a shield from criticism.

      And just to clarify, both perspective are stupid, but if you look at how right wing racists think, this is a big part of it.
