[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.

but they cant eradicate the Resistance or the tunnels. or rather they arent willing to accept the casualties required for that.
Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part. In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".
For the umpteenth time, there is no intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group
I'm no fan of Joe Biden but "Genocide Joe" us a disgusting misnomer
Mets, what about the five acts that can be committed to qualify as genocide. Are you going to go over those as well?
Is the day after plan such a mystery? Seems pretty obvious.
Eradicate Hamas, destroy as much of the tunnel system as possible, especially on the Egyptian border, pull out, then put a blockade on Gaza that makes the last 20 years look like NAFTA and whatever happens after that, **** it. I don't see any democracy building in Gaza's future.
You forgot that Saudi invests heavily and helps maintain no terrorists and normalization with Israel in exchange for the US agreeing to protect them in a war against Iran
Mets, what about the five acts that can be committed to qualify as genocide. Are you going to go over those as well?
If there is no intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, then the rest is moot. The entire UN definition is based on intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group
Hopefully that clears it up for you
I'm not making up definitions. You are. I'm using the actual UN definition so please stop smearing me by saying that I'm making things up that I am not
The agreement that biden proposed clearly said that Hamas cannot be in power. The plan was to allow Fatah for now and then possibly have Democratic elections at some point in the future. But biden really wants a Saudi Israel normalization deal and those would be part of the requirements
I wouldn't call it my issue, no
The Saudi deal isn't really that important to me because it unofficially exists anyway. Israel flies over Saudi airspace
Saudi helped shoot down Iranian drones headed to Israel
Biden wants it as a win. And thinks it will help with long term peace in the region. Would it? Maybe
If there is no intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, then the rest is moot. The entire UN definition is based on intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group

Hamas is apart of Palestinian national , ethnical, racist and a partially religious group
Do you admit Israel is trying to destroy Hamas ?

Looks like you are the one that needs things cleared up for you.
This guy clearly and methodically explains how Israel is committing textbook genocide according to the UN definition. He ticks off all the boxes, including intent.
Does Israel have special intent to destroy Hamas ?
as such Targeted members of the group, not just as individuals.
Are the dynamics of violence genocidal in the sense that they fall into one or more of the five acts
Hamas being a govt isn’t exclusive of the other things
So you guys aren’t trying to destroy Hamas?
You guys who support the IDFs actions
Hamas is the only party in the war attempting a genocide.
How super-saiyan racist do you have to be to blithely assert that Arabs don't love their children? Fully dehumanizing nonsense that just gets tossed around as 20,000 children go missing in Gaza.

(in b4 someone tells me ABC News is Hamas)
I would say (most) Texans apparently love their guns more than their children. In fact I have said it before, and stand by it.
PointlessWords, I would advise you to be precise with your language to avoid unintended consequences. No one in this thread is involved in Israeli or Palestinian government.
ofc they arent which is why my words would never mean that.
I was short handing for you guys who support IDF/Israel's side/ the anti Palestinian people
Hamas is apart of Palestinian national , ethnical, racist and a partially religious group
Do you admit Israel is trying to destroy Hamas ?
So when the US took out Osama, that was genocide? 
I guess Sirhan's assassination of RFK was the genocide of Palestinians against Americans? Damn, we should have nuked Gaza 56 years ago!
