Unless the people of the city are the same as the government, I don't see how you can say the population is belligerent. I don't think we should say the Israeli citizens are belligerent because their government funded Hamas and are doing a genocide.

I mean if the person you're talking to only believes in two options then you are correct and they are wrong. End of discussion. But there is always a 3rd option for those not talking: receive with empathy.
The thought of people killing Israeli kids makes us upset, to the point where we might consider killing other kids if it means rooting out evil. It seems like you're not so much saying the option is between Israelites and Palestinians, but it's to kill or be killed?
Damn, killing kids can actually prevent terrorism. I guess all these school shooters are the real heros.
Israel never should have funded Hamas as a counter balance to the PLO: https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/
New euphemism dropped: "Belligerent cities" is the new refugee camp.
Any AI safety experts that believes these oligarchs are going to get AGI and not some monkey paw are also drinking the cool aide.
For real. Everyone knows LA has a gang problem to the point where there are even police gangs. Wouldn't be surprised if those gangs run the county jails too.
The most obnoxious ones are not only the loudest but they tend to get more screen time. You won't see Gebru on cable news as often as you might get ol' Yud talking about some vengeful AI god.
This is why when there's a hostage situation, the police always start with shooting the hostages. You need to send the message that such tactics won't work.
Living paycheck to paycheck isn't a mentality... But pushing personal responsibility for what is a societal issue certainly is.
The third option is what I just demonstrated. Instead of me imposing my own feelings on the matter (pro-cease fire) I received what you were saying as an expression of a need and I try to understand it. Being able to understand this as "kill or be killed" gets more to the point, but I'm no Jesus so this is about as far as I can go... For now.
