[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]

The Un has shown extreme bias against israel always

The un ignores Egypts blocka of gaza

Or the fact that egypt occupied it until 1967

Israel doesn't want to blockade gaza

That's why they wanted egypt to take it back in the camp david agreements

Israel does what it has to do to stay safe

They apparently did a poor job of it recently


Israel wants a government in place in gaza that doesn’t want to blow it up

That can be a partner


I still think Saudi will play a big role in making this happen
Maybe Qatar too but i don't trust them

But i do think israel and Palestine will be allies someday

I'm an optimist

he's sharing content from 'the electronic intifada'

He believes any source that hates Israel

you should watch it. it should make you feel better that Hamas did not engage in systematic rape.


Yeah. If ya can't trust electronic intifada then who can ya trust? Their very name veritably shrieks impartiality and non biased, after all.

they are not impartial. they are pro-Truth and anti-genocide. therefore naturally they will remain anti-Israel until that changes.


Yep they're right up there with Jihads-R-Us in terms of truthiness I mean truth.

you have no idea what EI is. you have never looked them up. or read them. its pathetic.


They're nearly but not quite as truthful and impartial as the good people at fromtherivertothesea.org


you have literally never heard of them. astounding ignorance. I am sure BGP will be here soon to say something about "can't refute throw ad hominems"


I admittedly do find them somewhat tamer than the fine folk at slaytheinfideljews.org but still, splendid and above all else believable reputable source provided by you old chap. Good for you. 😀

You won the internet today. I'm still chuckling.


No surprise that genocide and oppression is humourous to you


Only when done to the Benny Hill theme


If they ship the Palestinians to Congo they need to turn it into a reality show.


Both Israel and the DR Congo deny reports of secret meetings to resettle gazans

But Victor's sources are probably better

Bill Haywood posted the link. It was to the Israeli mainstream outlet Times of Israel.

When they tell you who they are, believe them.

They won't be allowed to live free there. And considering how the IDF have been training Congo troops, good chance they womt e able to live at all.

I am not familiar with Times of Israel. Are they the type of publication that would just make up something like that. I find it ludicrous that Israel, the Palestinians or the Congo would think this is a workable idea, but legitimate news sources tend not to just completely make up stuff like this, so the crux of the matter seems to be how legitimate The Times of Israel is.

Actually the link was to juancole.com (whatever that is). But if you google search yourself you can find The Times of Israel claiming an anonymous Israel cabinet member made this claim.


We're gonna have a good time tonight. Let's celebrate. It's aiiight eeeyeah

Assuming he is still alive (pretty much no chance I would guess), one of Hamas's hostages just recently turned 1 years old.

Can you explain how that is relevant?
