[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]
Complete bullshit, but even if true, how exactly would this justify Israel's war crimes? Again, sixth graders usually understand how flimsy this kind of apologia is.
And 4th graders understand when you have blatant double standards you lose all credibility.
The UN is a corrupt, garbage institution that has no credibility or moral authority at all.
I think that most current events would fall under BGP's definition of ragebait. so I will do my best to avoid doing that. I will just defer to his wisdom as he seems to understand things better than the Palestinians on the ground who are just trying to bait us bleeding heart Westerners with their sob stories.
All you do is bait bait bait
It's not even cute anymore
Israel pounds Gaza, killing dozens, as fighting rages

I'm sure obliterating these tent campers will end the threat and protect Israel from the evildoers
Don't be mad at hamas for building smuggling tunnels under the city. Be mad at israel for trying to creator destroy the tunnels
No you don’t, you get timeouts for repeated personal attacks and meltdowns.
And you’re a habitual offender 👍

Ill be mad when a country gets to choose who and how many need to die of another country to satisfy their opinion of eliminating a potential threat - and then **** it up terribly.

You believe Hamas media?
This guy is brilliant.

It's really just that simple.
The starving Palestinian children thing is a twofer for these people. They get to show they care about those starved and show how much they hate Israel. I'm sure many of these folks will move on to the next "outrage" once they get bored with this one.

I am sure there needs to be not a single place in Gaza where Hamas can confidently stay and regroup and stock weapon and whatnot.
if they stay in tents near refugees, you bomb the tents. after absolute proof Hamas repeatedly used hospitals and schools why are you surprised ? why don't you ask for all Hamas personnel to unconditionally surrender to Israel, which would end the war right now?
Can you please not quote the posts with “dog rape” accusations? Like how is that post even allowed on here?
Al Jazeera reported that survivors said it.
Just like they reported that survivors said they had been raped by electric rods months before the NYT and the UN wrote about it.
Just like they reported that survivors said they had been amputated due to neglect and abuse months before Haaretz and CNN reported on it.
Maybe these are just lies. But it would be the first time.

who is winning? Hamas is still in power. fighters are still killing Israeli soldiers every day. only 6? hostages have been recovered by force while over 100 remain. tunnels remain operational
this article claims 80% of the tunnels remain. Israel has not achieved any of their war aims. they have achieved the death of tons of civilians and the destruction of all infrastructure but its yet to help them with their ostensible war aims.

Can you address the post about Israelis raping people with metal rods and dogs? Like someone posted the accusation in Twitter and it’s ok to post here?
she repeatedly said she won't censor content no matter how redic it is. No problem with that as long as it works for everything (that seems to be the case for now).
No need to debunk the crazy claims by pro-hamas supporters either in general, don't dignify them with any answer or comment everytime they claim unprovable random stuff
NYT and the UN reported on the metal rods. (eta, actually I cant remember if it was in the UN report. it was def in the NYT)
Al Jazeera reported on the dogs.
you can choose to believe it or not. but its in the mainstream press at this point.
And today, in the ongoing genocide...
horrific hell like images from those bombings. rage inducing even.
Indeed.
We could probably use a children's death toll counter
When the remaining terrorist hide spots in Rafah will be destroyed (And we are close), this is what is going to happen
