[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]
you were shown that by the far right Israel genocidal media, government, and occupation forces who have been telling absolutely absurd lies for 6 months now (really 75 years but whos counting). that you think they have any credibility indicates to me that you are lacking something.
The Israeli media are genocidal too? 😆
Would be good if they weren't chopping up the west banks with settlements and giving those crazies military protection and isolating Palestinian communities with check points. Also funding the bad guys in Gaza to try and ensure the Palestinians stay divided, hindering any two state solution.
The war tactics are pretty sickening but I don't know if there is any army in the world that could fight that place street to street.
uhhh besides the US Army?
To be fair, there is an element of ironic humor in having a palate of humanitarian aid fall on your head. Like, whoops.
now a Quds bigwig gets got. it has been a terrible few days for supporters of terrorism 😀
Not the US army. Gaza is like one big Fallujah but way more hardened defenses (tunnel network). How liveable was Fallujah after the US had finally had enough?
And instead of using their civilians as shields, ISIS actually allowed them to evacuate first. As bad as Fallujah was, think how much worse it would have been if ISIS was using their own women and children as shields he way Hamas does.
if someone said, I dont think any Israelis are innocent as they are being slaughtered and starved, you would certainly call it genocidal.
but we all know that you dont consider anyone outside of Israelis and Irish (maybe, some) as human.
It looks like the order is
-remove Hamas's ability to fight effectively
-destroy Hezbollah's ability to fight effectively
-Prepare for a nuclear Iran inside 2 years.
1-2 are being done to make #3 far easier.
Iran is getting very close very fast

This site looks like it won't be something anyone can blow up from the air. Once Iran has that nuke, honestly I'm not sure what happens.
The IDF is absolutely in a mode where they are preparing for the next 10 years. The removal of fighting efficiencies of those 2 proxies makes the next phase far easier for Israel.
And instead of using their civilians as shields, ISIS actually allowed them to evacuate first. As bad as Fallujah was, think how much worse it would have been if ISIS was using their own women and children as shields he way Hamas does.
Hamas has not restricted any movement in Gaza. what are you even talking about?
This wasn't real?

Was coming out of the load speakers Vic. Same as it ever was.
thats not restricting movement rafki
if someone said, I dont think any Israelis are innocent as they are being slaughtered and starved, you would certainly call it genocidal.
No I wouldn't I'd call it being an ass hole as words have meanings.
but we all know that you dont consider anyone outside of Israelis and Irish (maybe, some) as human.
No, only you thinks this due to your "everyone who disagrees with me is subhuman" schtick. You're easily one of the worst posters in this forum.
Is....this?
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_e...
The Israel Defense Forces releases an audio recording of an officer in the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 — which specializes in HUMINT — speaking to a Gazan man, during which he describes how Hamas is preventing people from evacuating from the northern part of the Gaza Strip and even shooting at them.
The audio recording is in there if you care to listen....
no, a fake story is not
I dont believe anything from the IDF. esp after they posted doctored audio after the Al Ahli bombing.
no, due to all of the lies they have already told. or do you still the 40 beheaded babies and the command center at Shifa?
Victor it takes like 3 news items to use your method to discredit everything Hamas says using the same logic.
We aren't 5 years old here. There has to be more nuance than this.
