[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.

You people have been saying they are mass murdering 100,000 people for a year and a half. Interestingly this number seems to be coming down. We are around 30k dead. I think it's closer to 20K.
You think it's closer to 20k? Well you should share your findings and your methodology with those tasked with producing the estimates. Or would they not listen to you because you have no earthly idea what you are talking about?
but yeah if you are following the Nazi playbook don't leave out the part where they deny what they did.
I would ask you why you don't just say you are pro ethnic cleansing. I mean you are saying that, but for some reason you just don't want to admit it. Are you just aping the Israeli leadership in being coy with your policy preference? If you think it through I think you can figure out that there is no reason for YOU to deny things. You aren't a symbol or representative of the state. Are you that in your own head or something? You can say what you really want and it won't impact what is happening.
I don't know why you are taking on diplomatic masking like you are a somebody. You are free to just say you approve of ethnic cleansing and mass murder based on ethnicity.
You think it's closer to 20k?
theyve dropped like 50kg of bombs per person there and only killed 20k. worst bombs in history.
Stop calling each other mentally ill. It’s not okay to stigmatize mental illness, and I’m gonna ban the next one who does it.
Use better insults.
All Hamas does with its weapons is hide in tunnels while Israel rules the skies and streets of Gaza with impunity.
They don't rule the streets with impunity. Look at the red triangle videos from Beit Hanoun the week before the ceasefire. Israel took their biggest casualties of the previous year during that week. Soldiers not going back to mom the same way they left = punishment.
