[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]

Stop nitpicking, everyone understands what I wrote.
I can only think you got confused on this bit
You said
Prosecutor cop Harris is more likely to escalate than pursue peace.
I agreed. It's still not a microscopic hope that she will pursue peace
It was never anyhting whatsoever to do with trump.
We know what you mean when you say zionists that way, Mets.
I’m just letting you know it will take probably one more of those and I just send you away again for the complete inability to listen or change. Don’t piss away your unearned freebie.
And we know what they mean when they say it
At least I do
Sorry about your loss, Blue
I think no regular poster itt is Muslim, maybe one person max.
I'm Jewish. I think Boids is. CN has Jewish family, but not sure whether she is Jewish herself. Rafiki and Mets are Jewish, but no longer here. I assume the new Israeli guy is Jewish. I may have missed one or two, but maybe not.
Why would a non Muslim or non Arabs support the Palestinian as passionately as these people do?

It's the "cause celebre" of Marxists everywhere and has been for decades.
"Real leftists" have been propal since forever in Italy for example. It was a way to be anti-USA with the additional benefit of the antisemitic dog whistle (depending on the people).
Meanwhile Arabs and muslims mostly don't care about Palestinians.
I know it's just campaigning but at least it's the right noise
Kamala Harris is currently speaking at rally at Michigan State University in East Lansing.
“I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza.” Harris says.
This is a very deliberate opening message in Michigan, home to the US’s largest Arab-American population.

I think Muslims care but they know that the Palestinians would cause them trouble if they took them in. The bottom line is the Palestinians need to chill the F out!

Israel survival depends on Trump winning this election. I'm sure they are working towards making this happen.
That it's so part of how some think that they can't really put themselves in the minds of those that dont care based on race/etc
I understand caring. I'm wondering why these people are so passionate about this particular topic. I don't like seeing people die but I don't need to be in this forum all day every day reminding everybody what I think.

I've addressed before. As with South Africa, an excellent job has been done at keeping it the focus. Similarly for a while with Ethiopia.
Why we're still dedicated to 2+2 forums is a job for a psychiatrist

Many Muslim people care because the propaganda they consume tells them they should care. If MAGA was 75% of the people in the US, that would be pretty equivalent to the Muslim world as far as supporting a tribal, zero sum xenophobic, authoritarian, non-liberal worldview.
The leadership of pretty much every Muslim nation realizes the Palestinian cause is toxic, corrupt, dysfunctional and understand there is pretty much no upside to anything more than lip service. The IRI and its proxies fund Palestinian militant groups as a means to weaken Israel, but care nothing for the people and do nothing good for the people.
The Palestinians themselves are victims of tremendously corrupt western leftists and Islamist propagandists; that cynically manipulate and use them for their own ends.
