[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]
bruv its never been a deterrent.
anyway, at some point in time, the point of a system is what it does. and this system kills and maims children at a rate we have never seen.
Israeli airstrike kills at least 27 people at school complex near Khan Younis, Gaza Health Ministry says
lol, did they even actually get the terrorist they were targeting? Most professional army ever!
they got 27 of them trolly
As I mentioned before Hamas (and other Islamists) had gotten better booby trapping buildings, to set off when Israeli troops entered. And Israel has responded by sending in remote controlled cars to set off the booby traps. Which seems to be working.
It has been and will continue to all be blamed on Israel, but like I mentioned before there is no way the IDF is going to find and destroy every single one of the thousands of booby traps Hamas lays out. If/When the war ends, there is going to be a lot of civilian casualties for years to come as traps get accidentally sprung.
In respect to Lebanon, intelligence suggests that Nasrallah did not want to attack Israel at all, but the IRI ordered him to open a second front. IRI also has ordered him to de-escalate but refuses to let him go back to the Litani river as Israel has demanded (and Hezbollah agreed under the 2006 cease fire).
Consistent with its entire ME strategy since 1979, IRI wants a slow war of attrition that destroys the Arab world under its thrall and Israel.
--Also, the whole narrative about the new President being a "moderate" is complete nonsense. He is completely on board with whatever the IRI establishment wants. It just so happens they want a more moderate looking figurehead right now, to de-escalate tensions with the West to avoid any direct wars. But the current strategy of brutal repression of the people at home and creating chaos in the outside world through proxies will continue unabated.

you know that Nasrallah speaks all the time right? just yesterday he said that they would continue fighting until there was a ceasefire and that the decision for a ceasefire was entirely up to Hamas.
also, this is clearly an anti-Iranian racist conspiracy theory. imagine if someone said that anyone Jewish was in the background pulling strings in this way for anything.

This post is clearly just an excuse to throw some shots at Jews in a manner the current moderation team deems acceptable, like much of your posting.
I make a clear distinction between the IRI and Iran. Most Iranians despise the IRI, as it persecutes them and uses them (and everyone else) as fodder in pursuit of its anti civilizational theological aims.
Much like the Arab world already has, the Western world needs to wake up to how the IRI is destroying everything it influences with its pernicious ideology that so many losers latch onto. If we dont wake up soon, the streets of Paris and London are going to look like Beirut, Saana and Bagdad.
no, its to say that both are disgusting and racist conspiracy theories.
Probably got a bunch of terrorists. Good job IDF!
probably not a good look to be celebrating this

It is indeed very stupid for western countries to have supported extremist groups so robustly. Netanyhau is continuing that process
At some point we have to stop doing that. Now is always a good time.
The article said it was a precise strike on a terrorist who participated in the Oct 7th attack. Most certainly worth celebrating.
who can say why they are using such weaponry. just a mystery.
the wretched state of journalism where the absolute best they can do is having the "experts" go wow thats crazy, wonder what thats about ???
The Israeli government has just approved 5,295 new settler housing units in the West Bank.
At this point it might be OK if Israel annexed the West Bank, as long as they give the Arab residents equal citizenship and voting rights. But of course that's just what they won't do, for fear of diluting their ethnic majority, and the Israeli right, who are always in charge under the PR system, like to talk about stripping all existing Arab Israelis of their citizenship once there are 'enough Jews', and Netanyahu appears to favour this.
It might be useful if outside countries started to recognise Palestine as a state, and a number of countries are interested in doing this, even though the PA is a bit hopeless -- diplomatic recognition might make them get more serious. The new British prime minister says that recognition will have to happen, but he could well keep kicking the can down the road unless he's pushed.

Towards what end? So a bunch of countries recognize Palestine as a state, and then what?
is Haaretz doing antisemitic conspiracy theories now?
I’m going to be completely honest with you. I blame Hollywood. Men really think that it’s ok to blow each other up because of the Risk of terrorism. And Hollywood shows us that speaking out is bad juju, so of course all of the generals/commanders agreed.
It is amusing that you cheerlead societies/governments that refuse to ever admit when they make a mistake and course correct; so they are completely stuck for decades with no progress.
And then those societies which admit mistakes, you declare it is a moral failing and sign of weakness. Meanwhile Israel will (hopefully) do an honest assessment of what went wrong and grow from it. While there is pretty much no chance Hamas will do the same; and hence little chance the situation in Gaza materially improves.
