[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.

Palestinians have perfectly good reasons to hate Israel, - both before Oct 7th and after. But Hamas's puppet masters seem to just conveniently take the most disastrous chain of decision making while leaving them to die.
Rations Iran has dropped into Gaza. Count: 0
Palestinians dying is obviously part of Hamas and Iran's plan
yhtsi
Are they welcomed back with open arms or are there consequences to not "welcoming" the militants back?
If Hamas wants to stash some RPG's in my bakery, I'm not sure I want to find out what happens if I tell them to **** off.
This.
Like why is this so hard to comprehend.
I have no doubt some Palestinians happily and willingly house Hamas fighters and store their weapons.
I have even less doubt some Palestinians are unwilling but don't have much of a choice.
Even the UNRWA, with UN and western nations backing it, felt it could not operate/stay in Gaza without cooperating with Hamas. A resident with nowhere to go would have even fewer choices.
Visregard is not good, but they are just reposting. Definitely click so you can see the community note too.
Starvation === bad
Feeding people === bad
There are also instructions to heat the food up...
Kind of pointing out the obvious but this man doesn't seem to be starving.
Oh yeah, it's probably his friends selling.
its such a demeaning take on a people who have been fighting a resistance battle for decades and watching their family murdered and communities destroyed. no they arent doing it for Iran, be smarter.
just looked it up. maybe the IRA was a cats paw for Gaddafi.
Yep they destroyed solar panels at Baptist hospital
We built Gaza city on rock and roll. We built this shitski!

Love that Lucium and Brian James are in here clutching pearls and naturally on the wrong side of the argument
