[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]
Unless you treat every single episode of mass human rights violations the same in the region, basically unless you ask for boycotts, do protests and so on against every muslim country that has homophobis laws and/or mysoginistic laws, you expose a double standard that disgusts non-radicals.
And mind, the human rights violations of Iran are fully uncontroversial and universally known as true, unlike the purported Israeli ones.
Israel doesn't play sports in its region because Israel lives in a region full of the most racist bigoted people in the world today, who have mostly completely failed the moral challenges of modernity, and the rest of the world is agnostic towards this. It is that simple.
Western media is so biased for Israel:
All eyes should be on Al Jazeera for being founded, funded — and directed — by terrorists
There is no starvation in Gaza, that kid either has a very severe disease, or has been starved by Hamas for photo-op purposes, or is a well made mannequin.
edit: can also be a past photo of a sick child, no reason to believe it's a present time photo
Most probably the first, given the headline itself is about sickness.
We keep telling you guys that "whattabout?" is not a defense that will persuade anyone over the age of six.
It's incredible to me that anyone over the age of 6 would respect an organization that believes by their actions that israel commits over 70% of Nation crimes. But here we are
I don't get what Israel is doing. If they are going into Lebanon then they need to mobilize.
I think hezbullah and the Israeli military are very much against an all out war. As are the usa, lebanon and most likely iran.
netnayahu & co are still building the case and waiting for events
The UN's Famine Review Committee has said that the situation does not provably meet the legal standard of famine yet, but nevertheless 'extreme human suffering is without a doubt currently ongoing in Gaza'. They stress 'the immediate humanitarian imperative to address this civilian suffering by enabling complete, safe, unhindered, and sustained humanitarian access into and throughout the Gaza Strip, including through ceasing hostilities. All actors should not wait until a Famine classification for the current period is made to act accordingly.' They also stress that their inability to confirm the Famine Early Warning System Network's findings is due to lack of information on the ground (the ground being controlled, rather aggressively, by the IDF), and that time and space should be allowed for proper assessment, which of course the IDF won't permit. Israeli and pro-Israeli US sources have tended to misrepresent this finding as some sort of vindication of the IDF, which it isn't.

There is suffering, 100%, all caused by Hamas.
It's not lack of aid, but Hamas can starve anyone they want by withholding available aid
Can we move the holocaust denial **** to a conspiracy thread or something?
Can we move the Israel is committing genocide bull **** to a conspiracy thread or something?
Can we move this thread to the beachfront property development thread please?
I’m gonna move you all to the moon if you don’t quit it :p

Oh so you think israel commits closer to 80% of all countries crimes?
Yeah that doesn't sound hateful at all
no, lets go over this again.
out of the crimes the UN covers/reports on, Israel commits 70% of crimes.
that is a YUUUUUUGE difference from what you are saying, which is that myself and the UN think israel commits 80% of crimes of all crimes that committees commit
do you understand the difference?
no, lets go over this again.

its not really possible for Israel to commit crimes. quite simply, when Israel murders children and women and men then it is legal and encouraged. when they murder men and children death by raping them with dogs and metal rods then it is legal and justified and worthwhile.
gotta kill the Amelek
no, lets go over this again.

So they hold israel to a different standard than most other countries? Weird

Israel doesn't murder children and women and men

Why do you think the UN chooses to ignore crimes of Iran, Qatar, Saudi, Lebanon, and Syria but investigates any thing israel does
Any theories?
