[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]

Im not aware either.
Both Luciom and I aren't privileged to all the intel gathered by the mossad and amman.
what does that prove in your little head?
They are coming to my city today. Security is enhanced a lot, but i am not aware of an official government warning about specific groups preparing to assault Israeli.
I am aware of a generic enhanced probability of that happening which we are planning for, for cautionary purposes.
We don't have any specific muslim violence in my city basically ever. We don't have muslim gangs or anything of the sort. We have a lot of immigrants, including from poor muslim countries, but there is no organized immig
Who is coming to your city today?
Maccabi Tel Aviv don't have another European fixture until 28th when they play in.....wait for it............Istanbul.
FFS just ban Israel from all international sport now, or at last ban its fans from attending.

I usually dont really bother with whataboutism arguments, but would like to get your take on what other countries should be banned from international sports.
I supported the ban on apartheid South Africa (in fact before it arrived). Israel and its clubs should also be excluded from all sporting competitions and a similat set of sanctions imposed to isolate it internationally.
Zero chance of that happening of course, because Israel is the arm of the West in the ME.
so the only country right now in the world that should be banned according to you is Israel?
You could widen the net to include every country supporting the genocide but you might as well cancel the competitions.
Syria, Iran, Turkey, Russia, Sudan, Darfur, China, Iraq (I can go on and on) are all perfectly ok competing, but Israel is not?
can you rationalize this please
First page of mako:
the site of the committee: https://www.gov.il/he/pages/italy2
the warning:
https://www.gov.il/he/pages/bolognawarni...
From the look of it, someone in Israel is making up the claim that our government issued such a warning when that didn't happen (to my knowledge), either mistaking enhanced security warning (which are something different, we are very good at law enforcement protection of events and for ex when bridge stabbing and vehicle incidents happened in the UK we prepared here with warnings, didn't meant we had knowledge of imminent attacks but copycat attacks are common) for specific warnings about specific attacks, or making that up to give the impression muslims are more violent than they are.
the warning is based on intel we gathered. no one is claiming that the Italian government issued the warning.
the warning clearly states that there are calls online to attack Israelis.
I believe you it is safe going to Italy and if I was a sports fan, I would have definitely not hesitate going. but the warning is clear and based on intel.
With google translate, it looks it might be something else, an Israeli warning to "better be safe than sorry" targeting Israeli, telling them it could be dangerous in Bologna.
Which i mean, is fine, but it's very different from claiming the italian government assessment is such that specific groups of muslims are organizing to hit Israeli here

They claim THEY have gathered intel from online posts, not that they were given intel from Italy.
Personally I like to think of genocide as a separate and special case of gross atrocities, as distinct from your normal run of the mill invasions and wars.
I mean, there's even a special international court set up to try people for that crime.
As for external Israeli symbolism or anything that can get you considered as a jew "officially" yes i strongly suggest not to wear any but that would be the case basically at any leftist protest in general.
I tried 3-4 times to bring an Israeli flag with me at those protests (they tend to protest a few min by feet from where i live in the center pretty regularly) to trigger the communists and i got harassed pretty heavily and i am a tall strong looking man, i can't even imagine what would happen to older people or women if they tried.
wtf is with all this BS about Italy?
Can anyone translate what the fans are chanting?
