[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]

these are soccer nut bags. Who cares if they were being disrespectful to Spain. Spain recognized "Palestine". I don't blame their anger.
The Spanish PM and other members of his cabinet are being investigated for levels of corruption that would make Trump and Netanyahu blush. I suspect a lot of the antisemitism of this govt is more or less wagging the dog to distract from their own legal issues.
"give us back the hostages "
as the 250th thousand Palestinian civilian gets killed.
they offered the hostages back on day 1 lol.
I doubt Bibi would take them
As I said, their methods can be critiqued especially considering the humanitarian cost, and can be supported without being blindly supported. We essentially agree with each other in this regard. My point was that they didn't actually kick off this current round and they're fighting an enemy that launches attacks from civilian heavily populated areas and that needs to be recognised also, even if nobody wishes to or likes seeing civilians being killed. They need to try and keep civilian casualties
yeah, I think we broadly agree on the main points - that Israel has a right to defend herself, that Hamad effectively declared war in Israel on 10/7 and they had to expect a huge over-reaction, if nothing else so Israel deters any future such attack.
I don't think anyone really knows the reality of the situation on the ground, so whether Israel has broken international law and/or committed war crimes is a matter for the intentional courts. The overall point I am making is it looks more and more likely that they are guilty. However, considering Iran and it's silos are an existential threat, then self-preservation>>>>>>>international appeasement.
Elon Musk Reportedly Met With Iran’s UN Ambassador

--Between running all his companies, planning Mars trips, and playing video games you would think Elon has enough on his plate. But apparently he has time to squeeze in working on brining peace to the Middle East. I wish him luck.
Not that Elon knows what he's doing, but I bet the Iranians yearn for the days of Jimmy Carter.

You realise every time you throw around accusations of antisemitism at people who have nothing to do with it you strengthen the actual antisemites?
This is good news. The sooner Israel can completely wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah the sooner these wars will be over. I have a trip planned to Israel in two years. I was supposed to go this last summer but the Jihadists ruined it for me. I hope Trump starts to send them the big munitions to speed this thing up.
I hope the genocide can be completed in good haste now because I’m planning a trip to the area in a couple of years and would like a peaceful visit to Gaza.
--I suspect it is mostly wishful thinking that the people of Lebanon are standing up to Hezbollah and IRI's imperialism over their country. But hopefully it is a real thing.
So Hamas has carte blanch to nip over the border any time they choose, massacre a few thousand Jews, take a few hostages, swap them for a ceasefire, rinse and repeat till there are no more Jews.
Wow you have an even lower opinion of the IDF than I do. It seems like they should be able to prevent a militant group a fraction of their size and far less well equipped from destroying Israel.

Hopeless.
8,000,000 / 1,200 > 6,000 attacks
Meanwhile in Gaza ~100,000 dead from a population of 2,000,000
One of the buildings destroyed in October.
It seems like Trump is looking to ban anti-zionism from universities and remove accreditation from schools that don’t enforce such a policy.
