What else are they supposed to do? The other side has better weapons.

What they should do is give up - they lost. And then they should work to get the best situation possible for their people. Instead they are trying to keep their cause alive, and who cares about the casualties. They lost and everyone knows it - but they refuse to allow themself to admit it, and so they kill their own people.

Sad that humanity is still entralled to degenerate tribalism at the dawn of the 21st century

What makes you think the 21st century is anything special? Humans haven't changed in the slightest since those "delusional Bronze and Iron age cult leaders". (That comment doesn't even make any sense since the bronze age was before, or at the very edge of, recorded history, but whatever.)

I checked some of your other comments, and they seemed normal - this one isn't. Are you just a troll trying to provoke responses?



No, but I can see how it could be interpreted as such.

Just tired of seeing people killing and being killed for what I feel are absurd reasons. (That comment doesn't even make any sense since the bronze age was before, or at the very edge of, recorded history, but whatever.)*

FYI,

The bronze age in the M.E. is commonly held to have occurred between 3300-1200 BCE, directly overlapping the time period of Moses, who is said to have authored the Pentateuch.

That range 3300-1200 is for everywhere.

In that part of the world the bronze age was over. The bible talks about worked iron, and it's known it was over for Egypt and the Levant as well.

The palestinians didn't exist then, when they did come along it was over for them as well.


It is known that there was iron use at the time, but it is apparently referred-to as "iron use in the Bronze Age".
