      the IDF/benny cant have a PR campaign against him, her being so infamous internationally brings more attention to the matter. hes already in a tenous position, he wants to stay out of jail from his previous crimes.

      rational people would understand that either god doesn’t exist, or that he’s evil and should not be worshipped

        Reading the Bible, I don’t know how you’d come to any other conclusion but that God is a Monster.

        The Epicurian Paradox. God claims to be omnipresent, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent. But the mere existence of evil overwhelmingly disproves this claim:

        1. If god is able and willing to stop evil, but evil is able to hide from/fool god, god cannot be omnipresent.
        2. If god is able to find all evil and willing to stop it, but unable to do so, god cannot be omnipotent.
        3. If god is able to find evil and stop it, but unwilling to do so, god cannot be omnibenevolent.

        In any of the three cases, if evil exists, god has been proven a liar in at least one of the three claims. Potentially two, or even all three. But at least one must be true if evil exists. And if at least one is true and god is a liar, why are we following him?

        I also agree with this. Sure if one day something does show up, we can change our minds then. I’m sure the evil phuck would understand.

      Gaza is under a siege designed to oppress and break the population so that they can’t fight back, israel forces control everything that goes in and use it as a tool to displace people.

        Exactly! But we should still be good to each other. It feels better when everyone is happy.

      Why can’t they just let Gretta win?

      I mean… They did, didn’t they? It was never the goal to actually get there. The goal was obviously media attention (again) and we are now commenting under a news article…

      Its just a few truck loads of food.

      That’s the point… Why let a few influencers enter a war zone with the risk of them getting killed when they could instead easily let a few trucks waiting in front of the boarder enter Gaza?

        Yeah, why doesn’t Israel just let the trucks waiting at the border in? I wager it is the same reason they stopped the flotilla.
