[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]
Your side would get genocided cause you would encourage your women not to procreate
Well, good for you, because poor and oppressed people always seem to think it's a good idea to bring more people into their terrible situation, but we soulless rhetoricians understand the cruelly of bringing more people into a world full of hate.
Good post
The plo encouraged Palestinians to have huge families to become the majority.
basic human dignity is anti-Israel
So Hamas is not giving back any hostages after all, and none of the "ceasefire" crowd seem particularly concerned.
So apparently it is up to Israel to take the L on this one, unilaterally withdraw, and allow Gaza to be reopened so Hamas can rearm, rebuild their terror infrastructure, and begin preparation for their next incursion into Israel. And it is the obligation of the US and Israel to pay for all of this.

you think Hamas should give back the hostages and let Israel continue its campaign of mass murder, displacement, and infrastructure destruction?
I think a lot of hostages are dead, and the ones that aren't were raped and abused so that is why hamas won't give a list
I hope that isn't true that they won't find back any hostages.
Nobody in their right mind could expect a ceasefire without getting hostages back. Well maybe victor but Nobody else
“The womb of the Arab woman is my strongest weapon.”
Yasir Arafat said that. That has been the goal. Multiply Multiply outnumber the Jews and take the land

I would push back to this and say the vast vast majority of the 2 billion Muslims in the world and the entire Progressive left think this is exactly what should happen.
And when they say "cease-fire' they only mean unilateral Israel cease-fire. They absolutely believe Palestinian militants and other Iranian proxies (Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.) have carte blanche to attack Israel at their discretion.
There is zero first principles at work here. It is straight tribalism. I support my side with no reservations and denounce yours the same.
the secret to happiness is finding a partner who is as passionate about you as victor is about rape denial

most of the Progressive Left does not support or at least care about a cease fire.

Naturally the same people who accuse Arabs of being violent savages who don't care about human life are the ones who come in to make J.O. motions when 10-year-old children die.

So you understand and approve of Hamas continuing to fight until the 1000 hostages Israel has are released

It is not Israel begging for a ceasefire, it is Hamas and Hamas supporters such as yourself.
They (and you) cant have it both ways. You cant say you have carte blanche to continue fighting indefinitely, but demand the other side withdraw. If Hamas wants to keep fighting that is their prerogative. But its not Israel's responsibility to let Hamas win, or even survive.
