They’ve also killed an uncountable number of civilians and that makes me sad.

Yes, civilian casualties are a sad reality of war. Currently the best estimate is 1.3 civilians for every Hamas fighter, which is considerably better than the US Army achieved in Fallujah (7:1).

I’m sick of people who justify the actions of Israel because of the other guys

Well, I certainly don’t. I justify the actions of Israel because they’re achieving real military objectives in a war of survival they didn’t start while acting with the utmost restraint with regards to the civilian population of Gaza.

There are wet markets all over China and have been for…ever?

Sure, and they all result in zoonotic illness.

The lab location and research done means there is a lot of potential incentive for the Chinese government, the lab and even researchers in the field to not have it be a lab leak…

They also have incentive for the origin not to be a live animal market that they very publicly had claimed to have already shut down.

It’s equally embarrassing either way, so the embarrassment proves nothing.

The IDF has killed or captured two-thirds of the al-Qassam brigades and it makes me happy

Hamas doesn’t use pagers, they use tunnels

There’s literally a dish called “Irish potatoes.”

Irish cuisine has a lot of potato dishes. Because they were cultivating potatoes.
