[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]

Blue,
You should probably put Trolly, Victor and Jalfrezi on ignore for your own good. The mod has made it clear that as long as they dont name call, they can spread as many antisemetic lies, push Islamist and Russian propaganda, and dehumanize Jews and Ukranians as much as they want.
You could of course do the same for Palestinians, but you wont because you are actually a decent human being. So it is just an asymmetry you have to live with.
It just is what it is.
I do appreciate you actually bring facts to the discussion, so this thread isn't just pages and pages of lies dehumanizing Jews. But you have to accept these guys have carte blanche to post this material.
Posting an article from BBC is antisemitism now lol
To all the people that think we need to "improve relations" with the IRI, I just dont get how you think this works out.
The IRI is a theocratic organization that has made it very clear their #1 objective is destruction of the state of Israel, and it is non negotiable. And they have been working relentlessly for 40+ years to achieve this end, without ever wavering. Yes, it is not a rational goal, but they are religious zealots, and believe their supernatural objectives take highest precedence over worldly concerns.
So given this, unless we accept that the IRI should be allowed to attempt to destroy Israel indefinitely, how does appeasing IRI and normalizing relations with them help anything?
Hilarious post BJ
How have you not sold out MSG yet?
You seem triggered bro.
I don't see genocide as a humorous subject myself. But each to their own I guess.
Israel abducts alleged Hezbollah official in unprecedented sea raid
The Israeli military abducted who it said was a senior Hezbollah official in an unprecedented operation on Saturday morning during which Israeli commandos landed on the shores of Batroun, northern Lebanon, captured the alleged official and escaped via speedboat.
In a statement, an Israeli military official said its forces captured a “senior operative of Hezbollah” and transferred him to its territory to be investigated by military intelligence. The media outlet Axios cited Israeli sources as saying the captured man – Imad Amhaz – was responsible for Hezbollah’s naval operations.
Lebanon’s caretaker minister of transport, Ali Hamie, said that Amhaz was a civilian boat captain, while Hezbollah did not comment on allegations that he belonged to the organisation. Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, said Lebanon would be submitting a complaint to the UN security council, and that he had asked Lebanon’s military and the UN’s peacekeeping mission to investigate the incident.

its cool when Israel abducts civilians for torture and hostage taking.
You are right. They won't release him from the prison torture system.

Why is Kelhus allowed to just **** out blatant lies?
I don't see any genocide and certainly don't see anyone cheering it on either. It's impossible to take any argument seriously from posters who bandy loaded emotive terms about like genocide or apartheid.
Do you think the posters who mention genocide or apartheid don’t actually believe that’s what’s occurring?

I've posted detailed analysis and opinions from experts and scholars on the subject in this thread before who say it is absolutely genocide. So until you do the same for your argument then I'm sorry but it's you who can't be taken seriously.

I'm guessing that 95% of the anti Israel crowd in here are Muslims. I'm not shocked they say the things they do about Israel. The other 5% are identity politic woke progressives.

Everything I have read says it's absolutely not a genocide. I think you may want to get your information from a broad range of sources. There are "experts" and "scholars" who know there isn't a genocide but push the narrative anyway.
I'm not a muslim so that must make me a woke progressive then. lol
Ya I don't think many "woke progressives" are anti Israel either. Will give props to Trolly for maybe kinda a little.

Dunyain is aware my own family is Jewish. He’s also a multiple times previously banned poster, so if anyone has any actual questions regarding the moderation of this thread, I’m going to suggest you refer to me rather than “Dunyain”.
