[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]

Nice way to avoid my questions loser
FYI- I drove Palestinians to hospitals, volunteered to give pro bono legal advice, I do business with them and actually have real life friends.
But you are the real ally.
Terrible excuse of a human being
Nice of you to drive the victims of your West-weaponed aggression to hospital after. The ones that survived, anyway.
In comic movies you often wonder how flat are the villain charicter is, as they have to most wrapped illogical reasoning for their actions.
And then you encounter Vic and Jal

I think he is right that countries like Ireland should take in people from Gaza
We're not legally obliged to do any such thing, regardless of the bare faced assertion of an Israeli politician.
You think many many things are right that many many people wouldn't think is right at all whatsoever so...
Spain, Norway and Ireland are now legally obligated to take in Gazans. Good luck with that. Maybe next time they will keep their yaps shut.
Ireland is under no such legal obligation. That said I completely agree that the Irish government should indeed keep their yaps shut or at the very least use their yaps to support Israel

I don't think they are legally obligated.
But i do think they should be morally obligated.
Same as people in western countries in favor of unfilterd low skilled immigration while others are against, should personally pay the price of their preferences, and take unskilled immigrants in their homes everytime they can't find housing otherwise.

Regardless of what you personally think re moral obligations, I'm glad we agree that Ireland is under no legal obligation and that the Israeli minister is bullshitting.
wonder how the Israel soldiers who are about to die for Trump Tower Gaza feel about this
Everyone loves talking about taking in Palestinians but no one actually loves taking in Palestinians. Par for the course for the typical virtue signaling nations. It’s very similar to the Hamas supporters here. They love to yap but they’ve never even met an Israeli or Palestinian. Ironically, the lDF soldier posting in here has done infinitely more to improve Palestinian lives than they ever will.
The idea that you don't believe that is kind of wild actually. Of course he wants peace. Ask him how many of his have been killed, wounded, or captured.
All he wants is peace. You don't go back in as a reservist because you want war. You'd be a full time soldier if you had even the smallest inclination to always be in the fight. You take another tour so that future Israelis never have to.
I want peace with my neighbours too, but the intransigent fools refuse to be amicable even after I've emptied a round of ammo into their parents and shot their kids in the head a couple of times.
When Israel annexes the West Bank, what will be the excuse for not giving Palestinians citizenship and the vote?

Oct 7th in any other country is more than enough grounds for war. We all know it.
Gaza still stands and Sinwar is still alive if not for that (and the attacks on the North too).
Actions DO have consequences in this world. FAFO.

People who oppose "unskilled" immigration should have to do all the work at every restaurant, work in the fields in every farm, work in the slaughterhouses and factories, and do all the construction.

The FAFO happened on 7/10 and Israel certainly found out about the likely consequences of decades of land theft and shelling.

Here's why Americans get to eat food, and USA is also the largest food exporter in the world.
The vast majority of the people doing this were not born in the USA and a huge percentage are undocumented.
