Israel/Palestine thread

Think this merits its own thread...

Discuss my fellow 2+2ers..

AM YISRAEL CHAI.

[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD

2+2 Rules

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]

and who gets to determine if Hezbollah has violated the ceasefire agreement? the inveterate warmongering and lying Israeli and Western axis? what happens if Israel violates? oh right, the whole point of this charade is that Israel is allowed to violate any cease-fire for any reason.

I left it out bc its irrelevant and nonsensical. only a baby brain would actually trust such a transparently dishonest statement.

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?

These are the people cheering on the death of innocent civilians.

Any questions?

Hamas and the "Palestinians" made an unforced error. Israel has decided to take decisive action. Gaza was a fairly nice place to live before Oct 7th. It didn't have to be this way. Actions have consequences.

Israel isn't playing no more.


by MyrnaFTW k

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 killi

Many people will fight back against allegations that they are racist or bigoted or a Hamas supporter etc. Then they go on to provide evidence in their rhetoric that perhaps they are. I have no idea if anybody in here is a Hamas supporter. I think many people just hate the West and therefore hate Israel. I'm sure there are Arabs who hate Jews and Jews who hate Arabs. Ultimately it's the old "quack like a duck" argument. When someone parrots the talking points they are probably supporters in some capacity.

ok and?

thats not the conversation. we are just talking about the transparent deceitfulness of the West with regards to these cease-fire talks and the blatant hypocrisy necessary to claim they are in good faith.

it actually sounds like you and I are in agreement about this. I think we agree that Israel has no plans of stopping no matter what happens.

Again, why the quotation marks?

Hezbollah already violated the long standing ceasefire


who violated a cease-fire now?


https://today.lorientlejour.com/article/...



It's actually mind boggling the ability to return fire when Hezbollah violates ceasefire is even a negotiating point.

Typically, violations of ceasefire mean the resumption of hostilities from both sides.

To say that Israel cannot return fire when Hezbollah violates the ceasefire is tantamount to saying Israel should just let Hezbollah regroup, then resume and keep shooting at Israel.

I am struggling to understand how anyone could support that without being some combination of naive, antisemitic, willfully ignorant, dishonest, etc.

by jalfrezi k

Just as I thought. A lot of hatred toward the West funnels down to Israel. Clearly people in the West care and have a conscious etc. This is a very ignorant tweet.

seems that theres a good chance at a Lebanon ceasefire. lots of people on both sides are claiming their side lost.

I guess we find out Wed. I sure wouldnt trust the West and Israel who have broken every single treaty since like 1500.

Yes. I'd trust Hamas & Hezbollah to not break any ceasefire, definitely. They're much more trustworthy than the west and Israel. It's not like they've ever done anything in the past to make me question said trust either.


Israel has existed in a state of perpetual illegality since 1948. so yes, by default anyone else is more trustworthy.

That Sinwar fellow in particular seemed quite a trustworthy chap. Oh well.


😮Do you guys think the Rabbi murdered in UAE was killed for being Jewish or being Zionist?


I love how you trust the UN authority to arrest bibi, or accuse Israel of genocide, or call the west bank occupied, but call their original declaration of Israel as a Jewish State illegal


assuming the original declaration is legal, Israel has never abided by it. they never even intended to honor it.

illegal from day 1. or day negative one.


They were attacked on day 1

Then signed the armistice agreement

Jordan occupied and annexed the west bank and Egypt occupied Gaza

Since you have admitted in this thread you don't know enough about what Jordan did and egypt did to have an opinion here it is


nope, they had a plan to take all the land from the river to the sea. and that is exactly what they have been doing for the last 80 years.

I would sincerely suggest you stop making these snipes at the moderation, especially considering the owner just let us know that we are allowed to ban people for our own peace of mind.

You were recently granted a reprieve from your permaban, and are here at the pleasure of the mods. Please keep that in mind the next time you feel like making another comment like this because I’m getting annoyed at having to keep deleting them.
