[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.

Are you arguing that if USA did not veto UN aid to Gaza that Israel would then allow UN aid? Please be precise.
Yes.
surely if that was my argument then you could point to something even resembling such an argument.
you cant do that bc you are trolling the **** out of me and its pathetic. but mods on this forum are allowed such things any response will certainly be a lengthy ban. I can see you guys itching for it right now.
no I explained one of the main reasons why the UN cannot distribute aid in Gaza. and that reason is bc the USA would block any such distribution.
try to follow the conversation.
I was following, and you did not say that, you said the US had blocked recommendations for a cease fire.
So the UN isn't distributing aid now, but if they recommended a cease fire (followed by Israel ignoring it), you think they would then move in to distribute aid? Seems very unlikely, but if you want to make that argument, go ahead and make it explicitly.

I didnt make that argument but you and your troll friends can keep on firing up that strawman.
How would USA block this distribution? It seemed like you were suggesting via veto, but apparently that was unrelated to this or something.
PLEASE BE PRECISE.
you realize the USA has veto power over anything the UN does?
if it were put to a vote in the UN to go in and distribute aid, do you think the USA would vote yes or abstain?
well given they have voted no to a ceasefire on 3 occasions, I dont think they would vote that way.
you are being deliberately obtuse and trolling. you are trying to get me to say something to get banned.
"PLEASE BE PRECISE"
no bro. stop being disingenuous pedantic and trolling.
Hypothetical: USA sleeps in for the UN resolution which gets passed, UN is determined to send aid.
Does Israel now allow UN to administer aid?
Sure, the US just started their own aid drops, so of course they would veto UN aid drops, makes total sense.
I guess they wouldn't want the competition.

thats not the discussion. if you want to go back and admit you were trolling or at the very least not following the conversation (lol we both know thats bs bc its a pretty simple convo but whatever) then maybe we can move on to hypotheticals that I didnt mention or allude to.
I dont think you are capable of understanding but that is a you problem and I cannot help you with that.
I don't think you are capable of answering any questions honestly.
You just like to use this forum as a soapbox for your repetitive monologs.
And guess what. In a "discussion", you don't get to decide alone what is being discussed. Not everyone may want to just talk about how correct all your posts are.

nobody is talking about UN aid drops.
Why can’t the UN go deliver the food by hand and then just start protecting people
this is the post. what is so hard about reading?

If the answer is "no", (your reluctance to answer implies that you know it is, not to mention your constant genocide rhetoric) then whether or not USA vetoes the hypothetical resolution has 0 impact on whether or not Gaza gets aid via the UN. How you are capable of thinking that is irrelevant to this conversation is almost as dumbfounding as the narcissism required to then blame the two people who understand the situation enough to point out the relevance of this.

genocide is quite repetitive. and it repetitively pisses me off. and people like you who justify it and support it piss me off too. so you could elect not to argue in favor of the policies and entities committing mass murder of Gazans. you could do that. you wont bc as your infamous post made clear, you support this stuff too.

if the USA wanted the UN to go in an distribute food then they damn well would be able to.
my post was evidence of why the USA would not support such a thing. they wont even vote yes on a cease fire.
I didn't make that post so I don't need to defend it. All I did is suggest that nothing you have recommended would help in any way. If you think it would, you are still free to explain.
what did I recommend?
I simply pointed out to PW evidence of why the UN cannot distribute food by hand in Gaza.
still waiting on this one
or are you phoning up your mod friend right now?
1. Resolution passes for UN to administer aid
2. ????
3. Israel steps aside and UN administers aid.
What is 2?
