All genocide is bad. A declaration of war is not.

My principled stance is genocide is bad regardless of who is perputrating or even saying it SHOULD BE perpetrated (basically what this Fatwa is saying no?)

No. There is nothing in it about killing unarmed civilians or eliminating all Jewish people. It’s a call for all Arab/Muslim nations to form a united front and declare war, which, like all wars (sans Israel’s concept of war?) has rules of engagement.

Your assumption that the word “jihad” means genocide is the problem with this conversation. “Jihad” literally means “to struggle/strive”. It’s used in several contexts and there are types of Jihad. (See the Wikipedia article on it for more)

• There is “jihad Al nafs” for example, which translates to “to struggle against one’s self”, and an obvious example of it is to quit smoking, or stop overeating, etc.
• There is “jihad Al mal” which means “struggle with money” and an example would be donating to a rightful cause
• There is “jihad Al tarbiyah” which means becoming an educator/a teacher of good morals and Islamic/scientific principles

You think I’m advocating genocide. I am not. I, however, am supportive of a war against a genocidal rogue state.

Direct translation for the lazy bums who won’t bother:

The International Union of Muslim Scholars, through its Ijtihad and Fatwa Committee, issued a fatwa regarding the continued Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the violation of the truce. The fatwa called for jihad and urgent, widespread action by Muslim states and peoples, including military action.

The fatwa, shared by Ali Qaradaghi, Secretary-General of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, via his X account, affirmed "the obligation of armed jihad against the Israeli occupation for every capable Muslim," emphasizing that "this duty extends throughout the Islamic world."

The committee also called for "immediate military intervention" by Arab and Islamic countries to halt the aggression on Gaza and impose a comprehensive blockade on the occupying entity by land, sea, and air, including closing its waterways, straits, and airspace.

The fatwa emphasized the necessity of supporting the Palestinian resistance militarily, financially, politically, and legally, deeming it a "religious duty." It also called for the formation of an Islamic military alliance to defend the nation and deter any aggression, asserting that the establishment of such an alliance is an urgent necessity.

In the same context, the fatwa prohibited any form of normalization with the Israeli occupation, prohibited the supply of oil and gas to it, and called for a review of the peace treaties signed with the occupier.

The committee stressed the need for financial support for the people of Gaza and the importance of urgently opening the crossings to provide humanitarian aid.

In concluding the fatwa, the committee called on Muslim communities in the United States to pressure the US administration to implement its election promises to halt the aggression and work to bring peace to the region.

Last Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced the expansion of his military operations in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to 50,523 martyrs and 114,776 wounded since October 7, 202

If we’re talking Elden Ring, then I’d say this boss fight and the entire section leading to it:

This part of the game will stay with me forever

Edit: here’s a video of the descent into that zone if anyone is wondering

Experiencing it for the first time was breathtaking

I’m not a genocide supporter. I was pointing out an obvious contradiction in your statement.

And if you think Israelis are against collective punishment then how would you describe what’s been happening to Palestinians all those decades?

Are innocent Israelis more deserving of mercy than innocent Palestinians?

Here is your lever and some complementary trolleys 🎚️🛤️ 🚃, please submit your answers before all Palestinians are ethnically cleansed

Who’s to says pre-historic humans never did?

because a minority of Americans voted for him?

That’s not how representative democracy works

Ehehehe

It was a joke?

But is my red the same as your red? Hmmm?

I’ll just leave this here then: https://www.hiddendominion.com/sir-glubbs-250-year-hypothesis-on-the-duration-of-great-nations/

I can’t cite a specific source since I was researching the subject for a fantasy novel I was writing at the time, and I’m not even sure the material I was reading was in English, but I remember the author was making a comparison to Roman legionnaires throwing their Pila synchronously to maximise their impact/psychological effect. And it made sense to me since every soldier only had two to carry.

Apparently shooting them in single massive salvos would force their enemies to crowd into one another (they’d have to push someone else into the path of a Pila to avoid one that’s coming at them) which devastated their morale.

you just need to right-click on the game (in the left panel), go to Properties -> Compatibility, and set it to Proton Experimental

You can also enable it for all available games from Settings > Compatibility (and you’ll still be able to override the version on a per-game basis as well)

Glad I could help!

(Also, not sure why you’re being downvoted. You made a valid assumption, and not knowing is not a sin. The dismissal of evidence is, which you clearly didn’t do. )
