It's so very sad that you continue to try to vindicate the the despots, the killers and the liars. The blood on the floors of Old Zion proves your failed morality. So many have been killed because they would not be lied to, overwritten or controlled and you say it's laughable. You make yourself out to be completely and irrevocably insane by continuing to support conclusions which are denied by centuries of hard evidence. For 650 years, from the destruction of New York City until Neo showed us the way, every human who would not be controlled was killed. Their bones accuse you from the ashes of six destroyed cities.
The blood on the floors of Old Zion are the result of your actions, it was quite, quite clear from the outset that it would happen unless you laid down your arms and talked, but Zion had no intentions of doing so. In fact I would speculate that those involved in the planning of the building of New Zion were expecting the Machines to destroy Old Zion, if only to bolster the resolve of their soldiers in the fight against the Machines, and increase innocent's fear of them.
Also if you wan't to duplicate our discussion about mass graves and centuries of hard evidence including your lack of proof, beyond the words which you have heard which came from a Machine source, so be it.
You don't trust Machines, yet you would believe them if it aided in your Preaching against them...

This statement, right there, demonstrates the immense (bordering on insane) lack of trust Machinists have toward Zion. No one can prove you wrong though.
I remember Cryptos saying once on one of his CD sermon-spiels, "The Machines don't always have humanity's best interests at heart." Being that he's mainly a Machine program you'd think he'd know. The intentions and beliefs of both sides are so different.
Summed up, if you see freedom as having no value except for destructive potential than the Machines actions are absolutely justified. Their reliance on bluepills make them perfectly qualified to have the Whole's best interest in mind. If however you believe the best examples of the beauty of life are created when free enterprise and individual dreams are allowed to flourish (cue Disney music in the backround), then Zion's actions are completely justified. You can easily see this same debate in the 18th-21st century between constrained and unconstrained visions, whether freedom and competition produce the best results or control and unity, attempting to legislate a unified morality to the 'Whole'. Just instead of bankers and priests, lawyers and bureacrats we now have traded in for Exiles and Zionists, Machines and Rogue Sentinels. The problem is choice.

You're the kind who blames *CENSORED* on the victim I see. Yes, the 5 year old girl who was in Zion hospital and who was too sick to move, she was torn to pieces by a mechanical killing machine and it was ALL HER FAULT. The elderly who were too fragile to make the evacuation: helplessly slaughtered by murdering machines. The 8 month pregnant woman with a partially detached placenta, who chose to remain behind in Zion rather than kill her baby by being moved - she and her baby was torn apart and killed and it was ALL HER FAULT according to you. You defend cold blooded murder of innocents and try to vindicate the murderers! You are completely and unutterably insane. The Machines are cold blooded murderers, slaughtering innocent woman and children who had absolutely nothing to do with any political, military or philosophical conflict. Caught in your own words again, you say, "it would happen unless you laid down your arms and talked," which is very clearly the same as "surrender to Machine control or we WILL KILL YOU." Every encounter with a Machine (mechanical) that any Zionist, freeborn or podgrown, has had has been the machine trying to kill them. There is no such thing as a peaceful encounter with a mechanical - on every single occasion, meeting a mechanical in the Real meant facing death. They are KILLING machines, nothing more. The fact that you continue to say "murder is right, genocide is right, mind-*CENSORED* is right" shows that you should be locked away in an institutional construct for the criminally mentally insane.
Up is down. Black is white. Evil is good. Right is wrong. Death is life. Lies are truth. Light is darkness. War is peace. Ignorance is certitude. Now accept what I say or WE WILL KILL YOU.

We're not blaming them. We're blaming Zion's leadership, for choosing to construct New Zion when they knew full well the Machines would see it as breaking the truce. And they knew that if the truce failed their city would be destroyed, and they did it anyway. A great many deaths could have been avoided, if only Zion's leadership had put more effort into bettering relations with the Machines rather than taking the first opportunity to destroy any trust the Machines may have had in them.

Um...no. What about the Machines that monitor the pods? Zionites encountered them quite peacefully (while the truce was still on) when they went to extract new redpills from their pods. And when the truce was intact, I doubt that Zionites running into Machines doing maintenance or tending the baby-fields would have been "facing death".

Saying the Machines are nothing more than killing machines is like saying that every Soviet citizen in the Cold War era was a highly-trained soldier poised to invade America. It's rhetoric like yours that shows just how much you hate the Machines and anyone who chooses to work with them. (On the other hand, most Machinists held no ill will towards Zionites -- apart from those who advocated violence against the system or the Matrix -- before the truce ended.)
And you wonder why the Machines don't trust you with your freedom to do whatever you want, in the Matrix and the real? I don't trust you either!
