[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.

Lol at random Twitter accounts. I post same stuff that just got presented to The Hague.
Genocide
Ethnic cleansing
Illegal occupation
Apartheid state
Evil Zionists
Baby killers
What else am i missing?
You are defining genocide as near complete massacre, no?
That's not the UN definition. Wiki:
I believe that the destruction of civil society and expulsion from their land destroys a group as a group.
Israel has bombed nearly all of the schools, mosques, and civic buildings. It has destroyed over half the dwellings. That's clear intent to make the land unlivable. Israel has compressed the people against the Egyptian border and wants them to lea
Israel is not engaging in the intentional destruction of an ethnic group. Again they could do this very easily. By your rational any civilian deaths in war is genocide.
the civilian deaths are a result of the density of gaza's population, and hamas' decades-long policy of using civilian infrastructure to wage war has a significant multiplier effect

Israel’s policy of attacking civilian infrastructure and refugees camps is also a bit of a “multiplier effect.” (Incidentally, IDF’s HQ is right in the middle of a dense urban area, but that’s different because reasons)
Made the mistake of scrolling the first few pages itt. Kill 'em all, Bibi. The Iranians, Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah. And anyone else sympathetic to the cause of death to America and Israel can get greased.
Honest Zionist moment
the reason israel are fighting in civilian infrastructure and refugee camps is because hamas are operating out of civilian infrastructure and refugee camps
Anti-imperialism necessitates some strange bedfellows, apparently. Go for it
For a fun exercise, look up how far away IDF’s HQ is from a major hospital.
IDF ought to relocate their headquarters to what is currently Gaza
where is hamas' HQ?
Palestine is responsible for their culture. No one else is.
Israel ain't about to fight a war of attrition with the global population of Jews being 20 million-ish. Like the IDF needs to be more precise versus an Iranian ethos that saw them employ the human-wave strategy to success against a superior Iraqi military in the 80s.
