Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The problem here is that the discussion was about whether X was a good thing, and then after a bunch of argument against it finally someone pops in with "because it leads to thing Y!"

That wasn't addressed at all until now.
It remains an unsupported connection.
Even if true, thing X is still in itself a good thing.

Recognizing the existence of the state of Palestine is a good thing for everyone except the racist Zionists who want an ethnically pure unified Israel in its place. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.

In a magical special Universe where nothing else at all was happenning, recognizing the existence of the state of Palestine is always a good thing.

In the actual world were are in, with what's going on right now, for some countries (were there is a large public pressure to actually stop Israel and which are still activelly arming Israel) politicians recognizing the existence of the state of Palestine is possibly a bad thing because of how it interacts with other things to de facto yield worse outcomes for Palestinians than if they had not done it.

Interpreting the merits of a choice in a context were there is nothing else whatsoever that interacts with it - call it "laboratory conditions" - is pure Philosophy and akin to claim that "we all live in a perfect simulation but are not aware of it": a fun mental game that has no actual effect in Reality as we perceive it.
