[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]

maybe we should excise trump from the previous 'absolutely nothing to do with trump' discussion before getting into more?
Excising one candidate from a conversation about whether or not there’s a tiny sliver of chance that the other candidate with a long and distinguished history of institutional violence will turn out to be a peacenik seems like a very chezzy copout, though in this case it would be copin.
I hve a tiny hope if Harris wins. I have no other hopes except that 'this too shall pass'
You can make up what you like about that but it's just nonsense.
You might be in for a pleasant surprise if Trump wins.
Yes I will be very surprised if I like anything about another trump presidency.
It’s not about being offended on behalf of anyone else. Some terms have such deep and long running connotations that they make me cringe a little inside when I hear or read them.
It’s the same as saying “blacks” because it was a term associated with white South Africans during apartheid, and it was almost always derogatory.
I wrote in a previous post exactly about the toxcity of woke discourse like this.
Please don't import identity politics and race critical theorys from white and black relationships, to us.
We are not "Jewish people", and we are proud zionits.

I'll use whatever terms I'm comfortable with that are in line with mod rules, thank you, and dgaf about you bringing CRT into it, which is irrelevant.
Trump will almost assuredly be worse for the people of Gaza than Harris will be. The Israeli right wing is salivating at the prospect of another 4 years of Trump. I’m not sure how the most hardcore free Palestine supporters have been manipulated into believing DT is going to somehow challenge Bibi instead of enable him, but I guess I respect the gamble?

The most hardcore propal tend to be pro Putin (see victor for ex) so that's where they think Trump will "save lives" (by allowing putin to keep a lot of ukraine and ending that war)
I think you posted in the wrong thread but Trump isnt going to "allow" anything. Russia took the land and will hold it no matter what the USA does short of nukes.

so an Israeli jewish zionist is telling you what we prefer to be called, and you respond with DGAF.
very inclusive of you. would you respond the same to a black person?
you are really the poster child of the far-left ideology.

You accused us of carrying out a terrorist gas attack on americans, proven wrong, and can't apologize or even admit it and back track.
is there one honest bone in the anti-israel group here?
Wait, so the $30 Amazon Prime fart spray attack was actually a US sanctioned IDF military operation carried out on American soil? Wild stuff.

You don't speak for all Jewish people (who I will continue to refer to as "Jewish people" whatever your individual preferences) and thank god for that.

I'm not seeing where I was proven wrong just bc they paid these guys money. USA and it's proxies pay terrorists all the time.
But I do represent the sentiment of most Jewish Israelis, prob around 90%+.
and we are discussing here that particular group.
And you can thank your god as much as you want, but we have more humanity in our worst day, than you on your best day.
the privileged spoiled existence that you call life, wasted mostly on judging us, and doing the all-important job of retweeting ITT, is benefiting no one.
so at least be inclusive 😃
Sure, you Israelis who mostly think Bibi isn't going far enough, fast enough, are absolutely overbrimming with humanity as exemplified by the IDF each and every day.
What will today's headless baby count be?

go make us some caffe latte and retweet some more for the "cause".
Let us adults handle this dufficult situation.
(my apologies to the baristas ITT).
Go and cheer on your mates as they behead more Palestinian babies and shoot more young kids several times in the head.
Real grown up manly behaviour.
