[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD

2+2 Rules

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]

doesnt seem to require Israel to release their hostages.

and I do wonder how many hostages Hamas has left. I thought it was almost all military. so they should be called POWs.

Nobody besides you calls non active personelle who may have served their 2 years or if obligation not are now civilians military. I think even hamas calls them hostages

And hi all


by Luckbox Inc P

Is this just a semantic argument where prisoners are not hostages?

It's not semantics


by Victor P

Coincidentally what are your thoughts on Bobby Sands?

What has Bobby Sands got to do with Israel?

How many are non-active?

Lol got ‘em

Israel has 2000+ Palestinian hostage/torture victims. With a 99.7% conviction rate and 300+ people being held without seeing a judge or a charge, life is terrible for many Palestinians

a lot more than 2k. the numbers I have seen are 7500+ arrested in the West Bank since Oct 7. so thats not even counting who was there prior nor all the Gazans that are being tortured in black sites.

participation in Hamas isn't mandated by law (afaik).

Nobody gives a ****. He wasn’t asking about that

an ex-conscript isn't an ex-military in the sense of sharing responsibilitt for joining the military or for the bad actions of the military.

anyone who ever participated in Hamas or helped Hamas in any way is, for life, a person who dealt in, or helped, terrorism, which is one of the worst possible things a person can be.

We aren’t talking about that. Stfu

according to western sources young men are conscripted into service and tortured if they refuse. also their families can be harassed and arrested.

no idea if its true! read it in Huff Post...

i am, and you are. victor claims that if Hamas captures an ex-military that's not an hostage, rather a pow.

while he claims Hamas people captured are hostages lol.

no I dont claim any of this.

I literally just asked how many were active military.

and its completely absurd to think that the 10s of thousands in Israeli jails and torture camps are all Hamas.

Please stop making things up and then trying to arguing against them. You’re gaslighting


by Dunyain P

Do you think the current dynamic of holding Israel to a higher standard (which I guess involves ridiculing their religion) and holding Palestinians to absolutely no standard is working out well? I would say it is not working out particularly well.

I ridicule all religions pretty equally.

How is that possible, i heard Israel controled Gaza all these years how can the puppet regime do this?

Many are just criminals who may not be hamas


by 57 On Red P

The Israelis are now in quite a difficult position if they proceed with the assault on Rafah and if they keep blocking aid.

I don't see how they can do all this and leave the rafah tunnels untouched.


by metsandfinsfan P

Hamas is not a puppet regime. they are a resistance force.


todays edition of all their accusations are confessions



this is why people post things about the PTSD of Israeli children while ignoring the murdered Palestinian children who have been beheaded, buried alive, and burned alive.
