[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]

You could substitute "anti-Semitism" for "woke" and it's still perfect.
just as Naim Qassem promised earlier this week, Hezbollah hit Tel Aviv with a bunch of missiles. they hit other cities too. it seems he wasnt lying when he said if Israel continues to kill families in Beirut that Hezbollah will hit Tel Aviv.
but maybe, as the IDF has been saying, the are almost out of missiles.
this doctor was on social media a lot lately and even Israeli media did an interview with him linked here. he was one of the few doctors left at his Northern hospital after the attack a few weeks ago. they had killed his son a little while ago
well, Israel bombed him and he is in bad condition now.
The ICC, UN, etc are all irrelevant. Wake me up when Donnie ends the war.
if you want to be technical about it, I do think the war will end with Trump as president.
Apparently I'm supposed to add text to tweets even if none is needed, so here are some words.
A reminder
they still do that. they have an observation structure and they take school trips to it.
Wait til you find out what they were doing in Gaza on Oct 7th and 8th.
Breaking out of prison and dealing a military defeat to the people who chant "death to Arabs".
Everyone here who constantly criticizes Israel remains absolutely silent on the refusal of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to agree to cease all hostilities, and commit to permanent peace. I can only assume that is because the posters here who constantly criticize Israel do so because, like Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, they also want Israel destroyed.
So, why in the world should Israel stop doing what it is doing? In the absence of peace this a binary scenario. Since Hamas and Iran want to destroy Israel, the only option for Israel is to destroy them. Since, in the absence of peace, there can be only one winner, one side must be destroyed. Israel is choosing not to be the side destroyed.
Hundreds of pages of posts from Hamas supporters here, all highlighting the reality of the war that Israel is currently engaged in. None offering any plan for actual peace.
So, Hamas supporters, other than the destruction of Israel, what do you think it will take for Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to agree to a permanent peace with Israel?

Don't forget spitting on 22 year old Israeli ravers, that they had displayed in the back of a pick up truck with er legs broken, while posing with her as if they were on safari. Which isn't quite as noble as your description. Especially the military defeat part. You know quite well most of the October 7 victims were civilians.

it's bullshit you are spewing , we are not pro Hamas , we are against civilians being killed , we are against collective punishment . we are against armies that say they don't bomb hospitals and a year later all hospitals and schools are bombed . we are against 1000 lives of Palestinians worth less than 10 Jewish lives . I am against warmongering , against justyfing killing 30000 women and children over 200 hostages , against people saying they fear for their existence but at the same time killing others en masse or saying they have a right to defend themselves but it's them who kill in multiples of those saying they don't feel safe but it's their army who butchers little kids ,women ,doctors and those doing humanitarian aid.
Nobody likes seeing civilians die. But Hamas hide among civilians. They really shouldn't do that if they care about the Palestinian people.
Nor should they use hospitals as bases to launch attacks from, which they were absolutely doing.
The people who gather on hillsides and at viewing points to cheer on as bombs are dropped on apartment blocks, hospitals and schools in Gaza clearly like seeing civilians die.
wtf are you talking about?

Hamas and Hezbollah's demands are quite clear. as are Israeli's. the Resistance wants human rights and freedom. Israel wants to continue stealing land and murdering Arabs in terrorist attacks.
pretty laughable idea of a "cease-fire" but what do I know maybe the dictionary will change the meaning of the word to fit Western ideals.

It's looks to me Israel just wants operational freedom. The days of containment are over.
Much as I expected from the Hamas supporters. Not a single suggestion for what, other than the destruction of Israel, it would take for Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to agree to a permanent peace with Israel. Just complaints that Israel is waging a war for survival.
I mean, except for Victor pointing out that Hezbollah will not accept any peace deal that allows Israel to attack if Hezbollah violates the ceasefire agreement (you forgot to highlight that last part Victor). This demand of Hezbollah is idiotic and a blatant admission that they have no real interest in peace. Just a time out to re-group and re-arm.
What is happening in Gaza is exactly because of how much the pro-Hamas part of the world is deeply anti-semitic, and truly wants the destruction of Israel every bit as much as Hamas wants it, and if this were happening to Israel they would turn a blind eye.
