[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]
Victor right again. how does he always do it folks?
coercion eh?
did the unrwa write a report exonerating the unrwa
i better not be paying anything towards this
They believed Israel and acted accordingly. Then they did an investigation and found it all to be bullshit. And the right wing pro genocide press reported it.
IDF said from day 1 that they got the confessions under torture.

And they wrote it by interviewing people back in Gaza… you know, where Hamas is watching and where released Hamas members have every incentive to lie.
The organization is becoming a parody of itself and it’s frankly sad because we really do need them, or someone like them.
Maybe the right answer is dissolving the org and taking the lessons learned to build a new org to channel aid.
Forcing foreign countries to bypass Israelis to send aid, especially via airdrop, is going to get more supplies into Hamas’ hands than if IDF just took control of the distribution weeks, if not months, ago.
This whole thing is stupid.
Well, it is only stupid if you assume the goal is to get aid to Palestinians at all costs. It seems obvious Israel is acutely concerned with protecting their soldiers' lives AND stopping the flow of weapons and war supplies to Hamas, and this is dictating strategy.

I'm sure pointless could tell she's Israeli!

do you think the people that were kidnapped by Israel and tortured did not have every reason to lie?
like what are we even doing here. from the start Israel bragged that they got this information from torturing people (in not so many words ofc. but I am able to read between the lines).
and its too late. already countries are funding UNRWA. first the EU did. Canada was about to and then Trudeau canceled it.
it doesnt matter. the accusations served their purpose of murdering gawd knows how many children and babies from starvation.

On all those fronts, IDF administering aid is the smart thing to do.
this is such a bizarre thing to say. the whole goal of the IDF and Israel is not to provide aid. its like saying the smart thing for the Nazis to do was simply not have concentration camps. its the whole point of the operation!
So are you on board with Sharia, or just in favor of something a little less risqué ?
How bout a compromise. Full jihad in both directions, but the west otherwise stays western.
Tunisia's relative success in navigating the Arab Spring led some to speak of 'Tunisian exceptionalism.'
Tell me what is despicable about the post?
It’s just pointing out a fact, not making a recommendation.
Are you just uncomfortable with the fact such scenario even exists?
I know I am.
But I also know many conflicts in history only ended after one side was so thoroughly defeated, often massacred, it no longer had the will, or sometimes even a critical mass of people alive, to resist.
