What putting a timeline on another person's freedom does to a mf. If you were under the gun, you wouldn't have much tolerance for the devil's advocate. Letting people pontificate about the morality of genocide got us to this point in the first place. To what end would you try and win over an advocate of genocide? You don't actually debate a hostage taker or try to win them over. You don't actually entertain the idea that they had a point in putting an innocent person in a violent situation. Empathy might be a tactic in the strategy in order to expropriate the hostage taker from the victims like getting the hostage taker to admit they're in over their head. Bernie clearly doesn't have an overarching strategy of frustrating Israel's capacity to enslave Gaza. If the frame is anything but Israel should be made to yield then you're playing games with people's lives and it's sad that someone once told you that it's okay to do that
