[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]

I have not done that. I have asked some pertinent questions that you shy away from consistently like you've been doing for years. You prefer to attack, not have your views attacked.
What misinformation?
I made it my new years resolution not to answer bad faith questions. just got around to implementing it.
and in other news the UK is arresting elderly Holocaust descendants for speech violations
I will be using my special privelege to ban him before I do that.
If he's now going to cry that every question against him is "dishonest" so he is therefore no longer going to discuss things in good faith with others, then perhaps tell him to ignore the posters he plans to do that to.
Actually, Victor and BGP, please take a timeout from this thread until 12:00 AM Eastern Time, when hopefully you’ve both gotten over your nonsense.
The Yishuv helped the British put down the Arab revolt in 1938 and had considerable training and experience. In contrast the Arab armies were from brand new nations, often still deeply influenced by the British.
no no and no.
do i need to fact check every post from you. its to much work.
A lot of Jews are descendants of Holocaust survivors. The ones who survived had kids, and the ones who didn’t, didn’t. From the media coverage, you’d think Jews make up 80% of the Free Palestine movement.
Ironically a lot of the Jews that are not descendants of holocaust survivors were the ones living in Israel at the time. Almost like there’s a lesson to be learned there.

Exactly.
Ill give my own family anecdote. My great grandfather from my mother's side had 5 siblings in Poland, all married, all with kids.
He was the only one from the family who made Aliyah (in 1904), as he did not had kids yet and was able to up root himself. he had two kids in Israel (my grandfather and his sister).
in 1939, we had a family of almost 150 close relatives.
In 1945 the family was downsized to 4.
Some good news from Israel.
We are on the verge of a serious coalition crisis.
Our supreme court ruled a few months ago that the state cannot subsidized the ultra-Orthodox "jewish people", that do not serve in the army and were not exempted by law.
The two ultra-Orthodox parties demanded to enact a law that will allow the subsidy.
First, one or two coalition members voiced their objection to enacting such a law, but as of today, as more coalition members joined them, the coalition doesn't have the majority needed.
in return, the ultra-Orthodox parties are giving a final ultimatum to Bibi and threating to dissolve the coalition and send us to an election.
Please hold fingers!

maybe. certainly it seems that when Jewish people protest they often get a lot of attention and "signal boosting."
but that wasnt really my point with posting that. it was just to show how bad the crackdown's on speech and demonstration in the UK is.
It hasn't made the main press yet. Not at all clear what the specifics are if any exist though I susepct it's for this: (I assume it's okay to post)
They’re really good at killing babies. They’re really good at killing women and old men. But they cannot fight the resistance. They have lost every single time.”
fwiw he was release without charge.

Hamas should take this deal
They probably will not

Amnesty seems extremely generous. I’m honestly shocked.

We all know they will be hunted by Mossad for the rest of their lives and die very painful deaths if they accept anyway
Safe passage out of Gaza, but where would they go? Which country is going to take them?
you think that Israel wont just kill anyone who takes this deal?
