[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]
this is why people post things about the PTSD of Israeli children while ignoring the murdered Palestinian children who have been beheaded, buried alive, and burned alive.
Subtle lol.
I personally haven't seen any people posting in the described manner, I must have missed it.
What I have noticed and has been disturbing is some extremists seeing stances like "no child should suffer a rocket attack" and calling it "disgusting" multiple times, including after it was described in pretty much this exact manner, leaving no room for confusion.
Netanyahu cancels Israeli delegation to US over UN Gaza vote

"It's disappointing. We're very disappointed that they won't be coming to Washington DC to allow us to have a fulsome conversation with them about viable alternatives to them going in on the ground in Rafah."
“Nothing has changed about our view that a major ground offensive in Rafah would be a major mistake,” Kirby said.
This guy is not capable of thinking past the next 15 minutes.

The US just needs Israel to take it easy until after the election then whatever party wins it doesn't matter they can go crazy. Netànyahu trying to help by pretending to be upset as he understands the game.
Netanyahu is just exercising the will of the people of Israel. its a totally brainwashed and depraved society on the level that we have never seen before.
Israel won't (probably can't) "take it easy" until November imo.
ofc they cant. they indoctrinated multiple generations to hate. could the Nazis take it easy?
Trump knows it’s a losing play to not back Israel.

I feel like your whole view of Israeli society comes from watching Tiktoks.
I've had the opportunity to meet a number of them in South America and while admittedly the South American travelling crowd is going to be rather different than those not travelling South America, I don't get the impression that they are a bunch of warmongers.
(unlike say New Zealanders who would probably bite your jugular right out if you fed them enough beer-- hopefully I'm allowed to say that)

Israeli tiktoks. Israeli media. and Israeli polls that say 85-95% of Jewish Israelis support this genocide or think its not enough.
I am sure they are nice enough people when traveling. just like the Germans were.

Germans and Venezuelans are my two favorite sets of people not counting Dutch girls.
perfectly nice people support genocide. theres a famous quote about it.
Personally, I can understand the hatred that the Palestinians would have and it wouldn't surprise me to see myself fighting along side hamas if I were born and raised under those circumstances. But I really think that there is some outside financial depravity thats targeting a vulnerable group of people. Too many things aren't clicking together accordingly imo.
yawn
I'm not Israeli, and I don't care to win points in some bs game of diplomacy, couching the terms in what's deemed acceptable.

I just don think that the financial supporters are dictating the actions of Hamas. If Iran or whoever told them to stop resisting then I dont believe they would stop.
You pretentious posers can't comprehend their circumstance. The end. You're unfit to opine
And all you crave is an opinion on the matter
I feel about blacks as vic feels about Israelis
