[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]
only mass rape is from the Israelis.
yeah pretty lol to bring up rape the week that the country rioted to defend their rape & torture program
and there's still literally zero evidence that anyone was raped by hamas
it was 20 times 9 11 (proportionally to the country size) + the mass rapes + the hostage taking.
Proportionality thing is bollocks contrived to make it appear that poor plucky little Israel faced being wiped out by Hamas in one attack, thus justifying the genocide of Palestinians.
If you want to play the proportionality thing it's equivalent to 44 deaths in Iceland. Truly an existential threat!
I cannot confirm the numbers that Lucium gave in his post, but they certainly indicate it would be much different.
This might shock you, but poll numbers are showing decreasing support over time since 10/7
I would assume they don't support it as much anymore because they are losing horribly and their lives are now significantly worse than ever, but I dunno maybe thats too logical for you.
You could just read the Hamas charter thats been around for 40 years or whatever. They literally tell you their plans for the Jews. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't to play pattycake and make friendly

There is some decrease in Gaza, but not in the west bank afaik

you are the one who should read the Hamas charter. this has been thoroughly debunked and is extremely easy to look up.
this might shock you, but you should look things up before making ignorant claims that are factually incorrect.
Hells yeah, another war in the Middle East is exactly what the US needs. Big thumbs-up for me, wonder if we get to use nukes this time.
US moving forces to the ME is more likely to deter a war than start one and is in direct response to Iran rattling its sabre. Another wholly disingenuous post because you’re definitely smart enough to know this.
It’s exactly this rhetoric that keeps this conflict going. You can bet your ass people on both sides have thought this after every tit for tat for decades and it’s gotten no one anywhere.
Well Israel became a 1st world nation with a booming tech sector. The Palestinians have somehow managed to go backwards, so I wouldn’t say it’s gotten no one anywhere.

Kind of a pathetic troll attempt but okay.
How does this thread have so many posts? Took me all of 10 minutes to figure out these guys whole schtick
lol the next VP claims he volunteered for the IDF.
I mean, hes proly lying or being deceptive but still, not a good look for the libs. still, half this thread will be in here talking about how the pro-Hamas Dems are not doing enough for Israel.
theres also this
bro would fit in very well on this forum!

Yeah basically 50%+ of the thread posts are mod sanctioned troll posts. I guess there’d really be no discussion if they weren’t allowed. It’d just be a bunch of people agreeing Hamas sucks dick.

it takes a lot of work to debunk the falsehoods.
KHaaamas charter is good one. what else will you come up with next? Khaaamas health minstry? Mass rapes? Gaza wasnt occupied? play the hits brother!
the democratic party still has decent people among its files
I dunno if doing stolen valor for a criminal apartheid regime's enforcers is "decent" in the grand scheme of things. but it certainly is perceived as such by many in America and most of its ruling class.

I imagine, as with many adults, his opinions have changed somewhat since he was a student at U of R some 30 years ago. This doesn’t mean much imo. I have some terrible opinions from just like 5 years ago. People learn and evolve as they grow. Well.. many do. Not all…
has he learned, evolved and grown since he compared genocide protesters to the kkk a couple months ago?
I mean, I’d need to see the actual quote to make a judgment.
regarding campus protests:
"We have to query whether or not we would tolerate this, if this were people dressed up in KKK outfits or KKK regalia making comments about people who are African-American in our communities."
essentially saying that genocide protesters are like the kkk, and should not be tolerated

Quite an assumption. I wonder if you would extend it to others without any further research or confirmation.
i mean, i think it's fair to not hold people to stuff from 30 years ago, but it doesn't seem like his views have changed much, if at all. also based on other issues, he seems like a bog-standard center-right democrat shithead, which is exactly why he was picked. a younger genocide joe lfg

I still need more context. Is there a source?
Hmm I would tend to the opposite absent any indication otherwiae
Very few Jews are going to vote Trump, despite him being the obvious choice if you want to genocide the Gazans.
