    I would, he’s an extreme pacifist to the point where figuratively if he saw a grown man beating a six year old to death in an alley he wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it.

    He’d admonish it, tell them to stop, maybe even call them corncob.

    But he wouldn’t use violence to save that childs life.

    And obviously in this analogy Gaza is the child that can’t defend itself.

      He’s literally sending weapons to the man beating the child and telling him where to hit him where it hurts most

        What about supplying weapons or even directly aiding a war effort negates pacifism?

        You’re talking about the most extreme as far as determination not commitment, absolutionist pacifists is what they’re called.

        They would have a problem with that.

        But treating every member of a group like they’re the same as the most extreme…

        I’m hesitant to ask but whatever groups do you apply that logic to? It’s rarely (if ever) a good idea.
