    Your point misses that it is not mandatory and they could instead go to gaol for short period of time rather than commit genocide and murder babies.

    Your point is bad and your should feel bad for running defense and trying to paint them as innocent and/or victims.

      Firstly I couldn’t find anything about “gaol” so I don’t know what you mean…

      Secondly, armies are mostly non-combatant soldiers, which can range from working on weapons to office workers. As fucked up as the IDF is, if you are forced to join it and become an office worker, you might not be free of fault, but you are far from committing a genocide or murdering babies.

          I did search for it, I guess that I over did the search terms and should have just searched the word itself. Thanks! Word of the day I guess!

            If my approach to understanding was so flawed as to fail at looking up a word I would be deeply concerned about the quality of my thinking.

              Ignore all the arguments I made and just focus on a single unrelated mistake?

                mate, you can’t even figure out what a word means. Everything you believe is suspect if your approach is that sloppy.

                Fix your approach to learning, then form opinions.

                  Sure, very convenient for you to find one thing I did wrong and ignore everything else. I’m definitely the one with flawed logic…

                  I just thought that “gaol” is some hebrew word like idf or kneeset, so I searched with that assumption. Stupid mistake? Sure, does it make me an idiot that can’t have valid opinions? No.

                    It actually does though.

                    You had a hanging question, and rather than try to resolve it in literally the most foundational way: do I understand what the words in front of me mean, let me examine them. You decided to forge on ahead.

                    It is a deeply flawed approach that speaks to disordered thinking and an education lacking in a systemic approach. This doesn’t mean you’re bad or whatever but it’s like trying to make a chair by starting with the glue.

                    Fix your fundamentals
