[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]

People from south Africa find it very insulting that you call Israel an apartheid state
But you guys know better than them
maybe you should check what the people who fought to end apartheid in SA said. heres a Jewish one for you.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — South Africa argued at the United Nations’ top court on Tuesday that Israel is responsible for apartheid against the Palestinians and that Israel’s occupation of land sought for a Palestinian state is “inherently and fundamentally illegal.” Israel rejects such claims.
lol that too
Someone should tell the worlds most respected scholars and authors regarding this topic like Gideon Levy, Ilan Pape, Amira Hass & Noam Chomsky to come to twoplustwo to get their facts straight.
It’s also hilarious that your rebuttal to them is a ****ing YouTube video.
There is almost quite literally an endless amount of information available to the public that would strongly suggest otherwise.
No there isn't.
There are historians, political science academics, reporters, human rights committees, experts from every corner of the globe calling Israel an apartheid.
Argumentum ad populum
There are literal Israeli academics who are accomplished and respected in their profession detailing how and why Israel is an apartheid.
Like Finkelstein and other useful idiots huh?
They must all be lying or connected to Hamas I guess.
Or biased.
Trying to talk to an Israeli apologist is starting to feel a lot like trying to convince a fly that flowers are better than ****.
I can't take this seriously after reading your earlier terms for Israel society, sorry.
Hezbullah ceasefire agreed
Well that's good. Now we can concentrate fully on exterminating every last Palestinian again.
wow tons of antisemitic content itt lately
good to see the surrender of hezbollah. hamas next!
Yep still some details on both sides.
There are definitely NOT reports by UN commissioners dating back decades.
There are definitely NOT hundreds of thousands of articles, many of which are written by Israeli scholars and reporters.
There are definitely NOT hundreds of thousands of hours of video footage depicting not only the physical and physiological destruction of Palestinian culture and life but also of people speaking about and condemning it.
Of course not, if your only source of information is Israeli State sanctioned propaganda excremented and readily available for your viewing pleasure on CNN, BBC and the likes.
The irony here is amazing.
People on the humane side of this conflict constantly show facts with real evidence to support their claims.
Meanwhile vile corpuses show literal monthly calendars and claim they are the master plan for the destruction of Israeli society, bomb schools and obliterate entire medical systems proclaiming “Just trust us, this is Hamas” with zero evidence.
Yes, because someone who spends 3 decades educating themselves and others in one specific area is clearly an idiot, so long as they do not agree with your bigoted point of view
One day, someone will write a children’s book called “The society who cried Hamas”
Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be pictures.
I can't take this seriously after reading your earlier terms for Israel society, sorry.
Asking for equality is apparently NOT to be taken seriously. Not while we are dealing with human animals, right?

The government shouldn't financially support them
The don't speak to them part i don't love. But i get it
meanwhile, over the last few hours there are just piles of dead kids all over twitter from the bombing in Gaza. and Israel is bombing all kinds of "non-Hezbollah" civilian areas in Beirut city proper including middle class and upscale neighborhoods.

I cannot verify if this is true but maybe Lebanon will stop hezbollah from starting another war

Piles of dead kids on Twitter makes me think of Romney's binders full of women.
Lmao land theft of Arabs. Idk how much more delusional one can get. Those damn Jews taking up all the land in the Middle East.
A lot of legitimate criticism can be directed towards Israel. No reason to say dumb **** all the time.
