[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]
I think something completely unique about this war is that Hamas has absolutely no regard for the lives of their own people. None. Is there any historic example of something like this? I cant think of any.
And equally unique is how the Palestinian people just nihilistically accept this complete disregard from their leadership. Does anyone doubt the US people would have overthrown such a malignant, malicious government a long, long time ago? I certainly don't.
rekt
Not that I care. We can't go man-for-towelie

hitler at the end believed that the total destruction of germany (nazi policy circa april 1945) and its people (per accounts from the fuhrerbunker - this one is really good https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inside-Hitlers-...) was preferable to germany continuing to exist under occupation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Decre...
'Hitler was not willing to accept the terms of unconditional surrender, and considered this as repeating the same shame as Versailles. According to some around him, Hitler came to view the German people as having failed him, unworthy of their great mission in history and thus deserving to die alongside his regime'
ok, so unsurprisingly the claims about UNRWA were found to be almost entirely bullshit by the....wait....who? oh right the (pro-Hamas) US Intelligence.

low confidence is better than none!
so...the same thing the pro-Hamas people say. Israel has had an agenda to destroy UNRWA for years.
I did say nigerian-americans are very good for American society, while Nigerians in Italy mostly aren't, because it's not about race, it's about which selection effects are in place.
Unskilled, uneducated, incapable of getting a normal visa, don't speak the language of the host country: extremely high probability you are a problem for the hosting society.
Skilled and/or educated, capable of entering legally, speaking host country language: extremely high probability of being a good contributor to the hosting society.
This is a very vanilla take but for some reason radical leftists object to it
but that is not what is happening.
Hamas is not using human shields. for something to be a shield it must afford some protection. humans, not even Israeli humans, will protect a resistance fighter from Israeli bombs. as Schlitz advocates, Israel kills them all anyway.

Assad Syria comes close for 90% of syrians but it's more understandable as that 90% is not of the same ethnicity/cultural group the leader is from
and incidentally, speaking of human shields, we find out from Israeli media (I guess Hamas infiltrated Hebrew language media I dunno, ask Dun and Lucium) that they intentionally bombed a house that they knew was holding hostages which killed one.

thats a translation so maybe a Hebrew speaker can confirm.
I have been told that we cannot trust this guy as he is probably Hamas

sentence one of paragraph one of the article you linked
A new U.S. intelligence assessment found it is likely that some employees of a United Nations agency that distributes aid to Palestinians took part in Hamas’s Oct. 7 assault on Israel.
case closed, goodbye UNRWA

That's not how US intelligence reports work fwiw.
you think sandy hook was an invention involving crisis actors, so excuse me for not listening to anything you have to say about any topic ever
Deny rape on October 7
Deny hamas blowing up their own hospital
Deny UNRWA participated on October 7
Deny the word of any "Gentleman or Israeli" (i can't believe thats an actual quote
Believe anything Hamas says
Believe all Israelis are evil
Justify the heinous crimes hamas does commit as resistance to the illegal occupation
have people try to defend your words by saying that's not what you meant
correct those people and clarify that you meant what you said
and i only see the posts that are quoted
can we stop quoting him so much? i don't get the point at all
and now sandy hook?
i guess you guys (and gals) are trying to just get this thread 86ed
