An official in Lebanon says a man with a rifle who crashed into a large Michigan synagogue in what federal officials are saying was an attack had lost four family members in his native country in an Israeli airstrike last week.
No, I’m saying it’s rational. I’m not suggesting it’s right. It doesn’t solve anything, killing more people won’t bring his family back and ultimately will only justify more violence. It’s an embrace of nihilism by someone who has nothing left to care about but petty vengeance.
What I’m saying is, if you start from the assumption nothing matters, then it is perfectly reasonable. I reject the premise, but the conclusion is logical for someone who doesn’t. Strip a person of everything that matters to them, and they have no reason not to seek the cold comfort of vengeance against whomever they can access.

It’s quite literally NOT RATIONAL to attack other Innocents for revenge of the death of Innocents.
There is, if it hurts those who are not so innocent.
No.
If you want to hurt the not innocent, then hurt those people directly. Not other Innocents. Anyone who thinks otherwise is human shit.
Again, I don’t disagree that it’s wrong. I disagree that it’s irrational. Words mean things.
They do. Not the things you’re trying to claim.
