No justice, no peace...

What price do you want to pay for justice if the other side has nuclear weapons? Do you want to sacrifice the whole world for justice?

"What price ... for justice"

Wait, this isn't a duel between two sides, both with faults and virtues? It isn't even a conflict between good and evil? Are you saying that it is essentially a contest between the nuclear-armed and the powerless?

"Listen, then. I say justice is nothing other than what is advantageous for the stronger."

What price do you want to pay for justice if the other side has nuclear weapons? Do you want to sacrifice the whole world for justice?

exactly the point actually.. Some Israeli officials already evoked the idea of nuking. Even more urgent than plain moral, the simple scale of firepower calls for a serious discussion with the part we know we could have an influence on. This is not done, only "unconditionnal support" so far, even as bodycount and horrors keep piling as we speak.

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.

long story indeed..

"Listen, then. I say justice is nothing other than what is advantageous for the stronger."

The rule of law is always fair because whether you are homeless or a millionaire, you always receive the same punishment for illegal camping.

I don't know if anyone would describe the reorganisation of Europe after the Second World War as justice. Nevertheless, it led to peace and international understanding.

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam ...

You're not saying that a Gazan (or a young boy in Jenin) is suffering as he is as we type in this little comments thread as retribution for Roman sins? If so, this is some capricious logical justification that you are blazing a trail on. I must confess a slowly failing stamina in 'keeping up'.

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.

I see that we have conjured the spirit of Dr. Oedipal Complex himself. So the Mongol-tier slaughter that we are witness to in the Levant is not only payback for Carthage, but for the Cathars?

As an American taxpayer, I need to complain to Raytheon or Lockheed that their ordnance targeting systems are failing their quality control tests: clearly the Rothschildistan air force is hitting targets in Khan Younis and Rafah when those strikes are meant for Rome ... or the Vatican.

The rule of law is always fair ...

This has got to be meant ironically; tell me that it is, please.

I don’t know if anyone would describe the reorganisation of Europe after the Second World War as justice.

I guess anyone would ... if they relied on the 'history' mandated by the victors and firmly covered their ears to muffle the cries of the long buried victims of what Hoover called "Semitic" vengeance.

Nevertheless, it led to peace and international understanding.

Now you really have to be kidding.

... the history of my country.

I consider that particular historical episode to have been a great tragedy and a crime meriting at least some reckoning. If you think somehow similarly, this is a point of accord between us.
