Hamas says it's suspending the release of Israeli hostages

44. Speaking of fallacies...

"All you have to do to justify" atrocities is not an accusation against anyone trying to to justify anything. It is a declaration of the consequences of your line of argumentation which shows a fatal flaw in it. Your argument is flawed regardless of anyone trying to justify anything.

Just as "fact that people can become so desperate, they resort to violence, or may support groups that they otherwise might reject" is not a fact but a speculation, a speculation that demonstrates the aforementioned flaw in pellucid clarity. While you are not, as you previously have, mentioning Hamas and violence to gain leverage, you nevertheless maintain your original position that there is no limit in justifying atrocities if only the degree of desperation, in the eyes of the perpetrators, warrants it.

You are not the first one promoting this universally refuted proposition.This is the logical extreme in following the Macchiavelian "end justifies means" maxim.
