[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]
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.
I don’t support Hamas
Back on ignore you go for making things up and or lying

It's just hilarious
Of course they can fight back
Or release the hostages
They choose choice a but should choose choice b
We're going to need to see the original quotes in Arabic and with a certified translation
Enjoy this for now
Israel has a right to defend itself from *checks notes* Arabs having children.
I post more sources than anyone else in this thread. this is a rediculous claim on your part.
but since I have been trained well by my capitalist education system to obsequiously comply.
its actually a lot of work to find the best sources and cites and then they always get dismissed anyway.
proly Hamas shooting at them
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wir...
same article
it
I didn't make any claim. All I did was ask that you provide a source for when you say something happens. For example, you said "another massacre today" so I would just like a link(s) to where you got that from. You're the one constantly making claims and it's actually difficult to follow along when you aren't substantiating some of them. Some of your sources seem legit, others seem like pure bs. I'd like to read and decide for myself
The same goes for everyone else in the thread. They should be linking when they say X, Y, or Z happened, or if they think something is not true, etc etc
Otherwise, the quality of thread/posts goes down. It's gotten pretty bad in here, but the subject makes it understandable

In fairness to him, MOST OF US think your sources are BS.
See, mass grave story.
I think you mean Abraham
Islam and Judaism are both Abrahamic religions, they technically worship the same god
you mean Jesus?
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
lol @ victor being in his “right mind.”

I have Dunyain on ignore...
I'm not asking you to "cater to me" I asked you to just cite when you claim. That's it. It's better for the thread
I opened that up to everyone else itt too. I get that you feel like you're arguing with everyone, but I am not arguing with you. You obv are free to do whatever you want, just note that when sources aren't given and turn out to be not reputable or trustworthy, the quality of discussion goes down
I can go back in the thread and point out a few of your posts that "are bs" when I have time if you really want that. The only reason I said it to you is because I've literally found that some of the things you've posted have actually turned out to be untrue. Or at least misleading, hence why I ask for cites in the first place
"Earlier in Beirut, Hamas official Osama Hamdan repeated his group's main demands: an end to the Israeli military offensive, withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the return of all Gazans to the homes they had been forced to flee."
Yeah that's not happening until all the hostages are returned. All. So i guess no cease-fire
What have you found to be untrue?

What have you found to be untrue?
See you demand something from me, and then make a critique without specifying anything. I expect that from many in this thread. But I thought you were better.
Why it's always best to be vague. Don't say "30,000 people were killed". Say it was "a lot of people". Then if it turns out it was only 7 you can be like "7 is a lot of people".

Seriously how disgusting does a speech need to be to actually get a pro-Israeli group banned from campus?

My understanding is that campuses are generally pretty anti-Israel so probably not as disgusting as you might think.
