[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.

oh right, the magic swastikas all over the place and yet no pictures exist of them...
be more gullible.
now, otoh, we got pictures of the dozens of babies murdered today by the genocidal Western backed Extremists.
As far as the Gaza operation, for good or bad Israel is demonstrating they are not going back to the status quo that has existed for 40 years (Israel lets Hamas militarize Gaza, fighting starts, Israel does a limited operation and completely withdraws, Hamas quickly rebuilds military capabilities, rinse and repeat).
Israel has massive surveillance of Gaza, is noting every tunnel, camera, booby trap, rocket platform and weapons cache Hamas is planting; and then is going to destroy it all. This is also sending a signal to the Arab gulf nations that starting the rebuilding process while Hamas is still in charge is going to be lighting money on fire, as Israel wont hesitate to destroy everything.
The post 10/7 reality is that the Palestinian territories have no future until Hamas abdicates. And obviously Hamas bad faith behavior during direct talks with US envoys made the Trump administration come to the same conclusion, and are giving Netanyahu carte blanche to act.
But obviously this is politically risky for Israel. If Trump is replaced in 4 years (or less) with someone with a different vision, Israel can find itself a political pariah on the world stage.
no dude they are just murdering civilians. thats basically the whole point of the Israeli state. to kill Palestinians.

There are a lot of people involved in the riots that have been expelled. A few are being deported. Something bad happened there.
Given the clear affinity of the Irish for the Palestinian people and culture, and also given Ireland is a mostly empty island with a decreasing native population rate; it really makes sense to give Palestinians a section of the island to turn into their own nation. And give Palestinians extremely high levels of fecundity, they could provide the base of young people that would make the island's productivity skyrocket, and Ireland/Palestine would quickly become an economic and cultural powerhouse
Did you know that originally the Nazis didn't even intend on killing all the Jews? The original plan was to send them all to Madagascar. Sounds pretty twisted when the Nazis propose it, doesn't it? That's probably because there is no acceptable principle you would be willing to articulate as your own by which that can happen.

the different debates on how to solve the "Jewish problem", started prior to the Nazi Madagascar Plan.
It was a niche idea of some "Nazi ideologues" and was only one of several solutions that was being considered.
It’s a false equivalency on every merit, as the prosecution of Jews in Germany stated long before the plan was even brought up. On the other hand, and as you are very well aware of, Israel has a 20% Arab population, that have full rights and no one in talking about deporting them.
Bad take by a bad actor
