Feels like saying a kidnapper is "actually" feeding its prisoner, so after all it's not so bad. With all the money and political goodwill the US has spent on Israel, couldn't these good results be reached by anybody having that much capture on the US?
The comment to which I replied was "was there anything good that ever came from that Apartheid genocidal state?"
The objection I have with that is that it's reductive.
"It's not *so* bad" is different than "it's not *entirely* bad", and my objection stands, whether or not "someone else could achieve good results"
Do you feel like Apartheid and/or genocide are justified in this case?
If it's apartheid and if it's genocide, then of course not.
To hold a strong opinion on whether those terms apply, I'd need more information than is available to the public, and go on a case by case basis.
