So you wouldn’t want the genocide to end if it came at the cost of someone killing themselves? Why? Is the entire Palestinian population who are suffering a genocide worth less than a western life to you? But I refuse to allow that someone’s opinion should be given more weight than mine just because they mutilate or kill themselves. His opinion holds more weight than yours because he is right and you are attacking a martyr rather than focusing on the cause he was martyrd for. Their mental disorder doesn’t confer moral superiority, it detracts from it. Your insistence that they must be mentally ill/disorderd doesn’t negate moral superiority, it only further reveals your apologist mindset.
