    You really don’t want to have policy be swayed by suicides. It encourages more people to kill themselves.

      Yes I do.

      I don’t care what method brings about the end of the genocide.

      It encourages more people to kill themselves.

      Yeah, if you stop a genocide thanks to people self immolating then people will start doing it to try and get weed legal next…

          Then you’re letting sentiment drive you rather than reason.

          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.
