[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.

if you are a bunch of terrorists trying not to get rekt, then do not fire off a bunch of rockets at a country that is backed to the hilt by the most powerful military in the history of civilisation
well if Gaza is any indication, its not the [strike]resistance fighters[/strike] "terrorists" that will be hit but rather a bunch of innocent people and mostly children.
but maybe the IDF figured out a way to take a way more advanced and prepared fortified tunnel system in the meantime.
the hez bigwigs keep getting obliterated by the IDF while travelling around, which makes me think they failed to steal enough aid money for good tunnels
I'd much rather it showed some strength of character in not refusing a state to Palestinians, but that seems to be too much to ask of the malignant little guy hanging around with his big bully friend.
Colonel Noam Ben-Zvi with his views on Gazans would fit well into this thread.

here's the latest one. these big boys need to stop driving around and instead retreat to their fully automated luxury tunnels
wow, they killed one Hezbollah soldier. the army that celebrates martyrs surely wont be able to handle that.
well I guess they should surrender if its 3 whole soldiers
they should stop firing rockets off because it would be better for everyone, but i doubt their masters in tehran will allow it
Some random Colonel who can instruct his troops to mass slaughter thousands of children. Sounds a lot worse to me.
okay but dont forget that colonel noam ben-wotsit ordering a mass slaughter of thousands of children is an invention which exists in your head, whereas sinwar ordering a mass slaughter and rape of thousands of civilians is a thing that actually happened irl
Odd how many thousands of Gazan kids have suicided by blowing themselves up recently. That must be the explanation because slaughter-denial isn't a thing.

Another "invention that exists in my head", just for you
the civilian casualties you speak of are a sad consequence of fighting a war against a bunch of terrorists who hide behind women and children
but it's a war which has to be fought, and won, because you cant live next door to people who rape and kill a thousand of your civilians and then promise that they will do it again but bigger
War crimes, wot war crimes? We were just trying to get him to hospital as fast as possible.
award him statehood?

well that's a lie or an invention in your orange-shaped head, but since it's been determined that the only systematic sexual and gender-based crimes were committed by the iof ("either ordered or condoned"), i guess you're arguing that israel is fair game for being genocided? not sure i agree, but interesting
