    Not related to the Israel–Palestine conflict, but I’m curious about your perspective here:

    I do not support any group that uses weapons against any other group, no matter what.

    Is this an absolute? For example, let’s say a group starts attacking another group, are they allowed to defend themselves with proportional force?

    Again, I’m not trying to get your views on any conflict in particular. I just like talking about these things and broadening my beliefs :)

      I stand by what I said, I don’t support any group using weapons against another group. Yes, it’s quite natural for any group to defend themselves against an attack, but that doesn’t excuse the immoral corruption of killing others, whatever the reason for it. That’s my opinion, but I stand by it. And anyone who disagrees and wishes instead to dwell in a state of violence, is free to do so.
