[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]

Btw just to introduce a hilarious concept:
Imagine Israel returns a dead baby to the Gazans like that with a parade. Lol this thread would melt.
right bc Israel usually just ships trucks full of decomposed and eviscerated bodies with no IDs. seems fine and def much better than a coffin and burial ritual.

@Dun, this isnt an "abstract archetype of evil". theres nothing abstract about it.
Rafiki already answered, but lol at you:
Israel will not carry out any offensive military operations against Lebanese targets…
Can you even read
so you are calling flying war planes over a funeral "defensive"? ofc this was an offensive maneuver. it was meant to terrorize and annoy people and as a show of strength. it was clear belligerence.
see, this is what I mean. you guys are so used to breaking the rules that you think the rules of language dont even apply to you. and your elitism makes you think that no one else can see through your bullshit.

I find it hard debating with people who don’t know but also don’t know they don’t know.
Not every military operation is either defensive or offensive. In fact, most don’t fall into those categories. Most of the time we gather intel. Most of what we do falls in that line.
There are more reasons for such operations, but I cant really share.

First off, Vivian Silver wasn't involved in this, as she was murdered by Palestinians (maybe Hamas, maybe not) over a year ago. And I am 100% certain if she was alive, she wouldn't have been involved in this, or approved of it.
And your dehumanization and accusations dont match reality at all.
Would it have been better if the IDF had found out who the people were, put their pictures on their bodies, returned them with a bunch of propaganda materials mocking them, and then thrown a party with music and dancing to mock them? Like Hamas did when they returned bodies?
People die in war, and bodies are returned. Guess what. The side that mocks and does humiliation rituals, and then doesn't even deliver the right body, is objectively worse than the side that doesn't.
That is reality. What goes in in between your ears is not reality.

defensive spying!

ofc she was involved. she literally moved half way across the world onto land that was violently stolen and cleansed while the previous owners were still alive and locked behind fences and barbwire a few kilometers away. in a lot of ways she was worse than the typical Israeli born liberals or "peaceniks".
and are we sure she wasnt Hannibaled by the IDF? seems pretty likely.

well Hamas didnt do any of the bolded so I guess its a moot point.
The side that mocks and does humiliation rituals,
brother, have you scrolled Israeli social media?
or even regular media.

and then doesn't even deliver the right body
ya, wonder why that mistake happened. probably evil Hamas and not the fact that almost all of the medical and civil infrastructure was destroyed by Israel.

I don't believe in hell, but I do hope you burn you absolute scum of a human being.
this is the biggest pile of filth I have ever read
Man, Israel isn't even bothering to fabricate a justification for violating the ceasefire, just straight-up "our feelings got hurt."
I can assure you the Bravado of Katz is just a cover for the intel we gathered from the Funeral
Thanks to all the Hezbollah operatives that participated.
guys, dont worry about the war planes swarming overhead, they are just picking out targets for the next mass terrorism event. its defensive!

I mean, Im not saying she deserved anything that happened to her. I am just saying that moving onto violently stolen land is not something a "peacenik" does.
Nothing you are claiming is a fact.
1. He wasnÂ’t wrongfully imprisoned, he is a Nukhba terrorist that participated in October 7 attack. Just the fact that you assume he was wrongfully imprisoned shows your bias and lack of knowledge or even decency.
2. He wasnÂ’t gang raped, he was struck by a metal object all over his body (which is horrific), and one strike was near his rectum. The attack was after he sexually harassed a female correction officer. When they came to arrest him, he b
Right, I forgot they’re all terrorists. I’m sure all of the above is completely factual, it’s not like anyone in the IDF or Israeli government has ever lied to the world before.
There are widespread accusations of torture & abuse at this facility. People who worked there came out as whistleblowers and attested to the systemic abuse and torture happening. Iirc some 35? people have died in this facility in the last 16 months. May I remind you that this is one case and there are many other since released hostages who have claimed to have been sexually abused at this hell hole. Where are those “judicial” cases?
Isreal: we treat the detainees carefully and appropriately.
It’s not just the judicial system bro, your entire country is a joke. A literal turd stain in the annals of history.
You are literally a servant to a genocidal terrorist organization and I’m the midget and terrible human being? Thanks for making me laugh.
If we hadn't obeyed the ceasefire, we would have attacked the funeral.
Ceasefire doesn’t mean we stopped gathering intel. In fact, we do it every day, in many many means.
I guess reading is hard for filth
i assume there's a language barrier or something here, but "midget" has generally been considered a slur since the 80s.

I quoted the parts of the ceasefire Israel violated. I quoted the IDF Defense Minister admitting to violating them. then you when into a frothy rage and finally admitted yourself they violated it.
now I see we are back at square one where you admit that words have different meanings for Israelis.

Yep! He has what is known as "unconscious unconsciousness". What makes matters worse is his research is purely one sided. If he was forced to research all sides of a story he simply wouldn't post in here anymore.
Child murderer Blue calling OTHER PEOPLE filth is... something else. The guy should be in the Hague for the remainder of his life.

You're saying this about maybe the only guy here that routinely posts non-friendly sources while making his arguments. Most of the rest of you just throw out random assertions and pretend like you've cooked.
Half the sources the guy quotes on here are Israeli papers. On the other hand, I've somehow missed your analysis of Electronic Intifada's latest articles.
