I think you should state your ideas more clearly. Are you saying there is an equivalence between Germany in WW2 and Israel? If not, what’s the point of your comment?

It's your rhetorical reflected back, perhaps you should state your absolute position on the sanctity of business more clearly. Why would infomation systems for tracking tattoos on not-Aryans in work and death camps be a problem? Why would developing and selling Zyklon-B be a problem? By your comment above, and I quote: "Why would taking on paying customers be a problem? It shows they are running a business". Do you truly believe that making sales and profit is all that matters?

  Has Israel been tattooing people? Has Israel been developing Zyklon-B? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

    I'm just reading up on this now. Sounds like Israel killed 13,000 children? Seems pretty bad.

        For the sake of argument, let's assume that Hamas uses children as human shields Does that make it okay for Israel to kill 13,000 children... ? Sure, I can understand Israel accidentally killing 1 or 2 children. Maybe even accidentally killing 10 children. But 13,000 ? It is hard to comprehend accidentally killing 13,000 children.

        If they believe the numbers then I'm inclined to trust the United Nations and the BBC, but just in case, here's some fact checking from The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/26/can-we-trust-casualty-figures-from-the-hamas-run-gaza-health-ministry https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/26/can-we-trust-c... -- Omar Shakir, the Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch, said he saw no evidence that the numbers were being manipulated. “We have been monitoring human rights abuses in the Gaza Strip for three decades, including several rounds of hostilities. We’ve generally found the data that comes out of the ministry of health to be reliable,” he said. “When we have done our own independent investigations around particular strikes, and we’ve compared those figures against those from the health ministry, there haven’t been major deviations. “Their numbers generally are consistent with what we’re seeing on the ground in recent days. There have been hundreds of airstrikes per day in one of the most densely populated areas of the world. “We’ve looked at satellite imagery. We’ve seen the number of buildings, and the numbers that are coming out are in line with what we would expect with what we’re seeing on the ground. So you put all those things together and we’re quite confident in the overall casualty numbers.”

      You want Israel to value the lives of Palestinian children more than the Palestinians themselves do? Would you support rounding up the children and getting them adopted elsewhere in the muslim world and sterilising the adults? If not, I think you're just talking out of your ass.

    The assertion was that "running a business with paying customers" is A-Ok. The counter example was of businesses that aided in war crimes. The question posed was whether "business trumps all as long as it pays" is an absolute or whether there are qualifications depending on the type and application of paying business.
