[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]

You guys haven’t read Mason’s thread and clearly it shows
Keep up the good work Vic
Guy Lerer is not a liar. Far from it. He is actually a very good reporter. Sometimes he is incorrect (seldom).
Another source.: https://www.mako.co.il/nexter-news/Artic...
He was 18, not 14, and with no broken limbs.
The claims about him were refuted by the prison authorities, who published videos of him using all his limbs freely on the day of his release.
He also claimed he was starved, which is also a blatant lie.
right, why even use xrays when we can just watch videos? maybe you guys should call up the doctors and tell them the xrays are wrong.
What about admitting you were wrong again. just a few days ago you claimed Israel didn't really except the first stage agreement and we were pulling a ruse.
care to admit your mistake?
I dunno what you are talking about. maybe you should quote the posts? Israel and Bibi did try to submarine the deal from what I could tell but God Emperor Trump showed his pimp hand and they didnt even delay the vote as they had tried.
or are you talking about Bibi and Smotrich explicitly saying they are going to renege on the 2nd part of the deal and go back to genocide? its possible...kinda dont think they will at this point.
In a sick way I admire his commitment to lying all the time. It takes someone who truly believes in his "cause" to spend this much time sharing tweets from insane, Jew-hating liars.
ya " insane, Jew-hating liars" like an Israeli Jewish reporter (Asof Ronel), doctors in England as reported by BBC, and Btselem (a Jewish organization)

He doesn’t believe in his cause. If he did he’d be actually contributing to it instead of wasting away on a poker message board.
lol good call.
I do wonder how you guys contribute to your cause. actually, maybe I dont want to know given all the things we have heard about the contributing Israel snipers.
**Actually
Definitely no genocidal intent here
So apparently Trump is lifting sanctions Biden imposed on violent Israeli settlers. And it’s only day 1 lol.
If you’re worried about Smotrich, he probably creamed his pants over this news.

The headline and subhead are of interest:
Smotrich 'assured' Israel would continue war and take control of Gaza
Far-right minister says he 'received a commitment' that there would be a gradual Israeli takeover of enclave, despite ceasefire deal

The speed he's flipping on people who voted for him is so amazing. Just took down the Spanish white house site (after record hispanic vote).
I think he''s going to come out with very heavy hand in the pro-Israel direction. Pro-Pal side going to beg for Biden/Kamala back.
there were like 7 settlers under sanctions lol
Victor it will maybe amaze you, but Mike Huckabee is the guy who thinks "There aren’t really Palestinians". That's who is about to become ambassador. Smotrich is champing at the bit for Huck to arrive.
So I dunno man, maybe you have a special X source I don't. But this looks like it's going to go one way...
I am more interested in the facts on the ground. only 2 people got sniped to death in Gaza yesterday, 100s of women and children are being released from Israeli torture prisons, and aid is flowing in to save the lives of the people who were being slaughtered by GenocideJoe and ButcherBlinken.
but yes, the Israeli apartheid and murderous occupation needs dismantled, and they will continue to commit horrendous crimes like we are witnessing in the West Bank right now until that happens.
Trump is also resuming paused bomb shipments. Anyone but the Dems though lol. I guess Hamas gets to wear their fancy uniforms again though. GJ Vic and friends!
Victor, Trump arrived after Israel had already won on all fronts. You're making an association here that doesn't stand up to even the most basic scrutiny. You're doing something like assigning WW2 victory and outcomes to Harry Truman right now. Pretty much exactly.

its weird bc Israeli media and politicians have been crying that they lost the war. armed Hamas members are all over the streets of Gaza.
all that they accomplished was mass murder and destruction. they didnt destroy Hamas. they didnt end Hamas's control of the strip. they didnt militarily get the POWs/hostages back and instead must trade in the hostages that they took.
Smotrich and Bibi are insistent they will go back into Gaza after the swaps. why do they need to go back in if they won already?

Does that mean the bombings will stop?
I wouldn't take any notice of the Irish, frankly -- those wonderful people whose Taoiseach and President both went out of their way to present their condolences to the German ambassador on the death of Adolf Hitler. This is just a stupid Irish-politics thing where Northern Protestant Unionists tend to support Israel and Northern Catholic Nationalists tend to support Palestinian terrorism and the usual ethno-nationalist idiots in the Republic tend to follow them.
Hamas will never in fact have a brigade of Irish volunteers, and you can take that to the bank and cash it.
thats a USA poll. I just find it funny that a full 20% of the US voting population watched Israel commit horrific crimes and now supports Hamas. Bibi and the Zionists said they were going to eliminate Hamas and now 20% of the most propagandized people in history support them.
