[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]

It would be a dream for the media to build up US Israel/ ME war like it would mayweather v Paquio but it woud also be a pretty boring fight


by formula72 P

Id imagine that israel will continue to be the pariah country for a long time

i mean the truth is that someone a bit less err controversial will get elected sooner or later and be like shucks we made some mistakes there, sorry about that, and the west will be like dw xx

i'm not saying that's what should happen, but it is in fact what will happen


Yeah no, American support for Israel isn't coming back to pre-10/7 levels for at least a generation or two.


its going to happen so fast you wont believe it. we might be talking months rather than years

its going to make absolutely no sense to you whatsoever

nex time gasoline prices go up a little too much they will all forget about the gazean they never ever gave a **** about lol


by PointlessWords P

So, civilians?

enemy combatants. It's not like if you don't join an official state army then you can use weapons against others with impunity, or help those who do lol.


by Trolly McTrollson P

"We'll let all the civilians evacuate Rafah and then bomb until Hamas goes away" sounds foolproof, let's hope everyone in Hamas remembers to wear their nametag so we know who's who.

if all the people go into camps , and ofc every single item entering the camp is verified by IDF , some unarmed hamas can be among them sure.

Do you think they will go 6-12 + months in camps, unarmed, where they can't control others in any way and so lose all their power, waiting for their name to come up on israeli lists because of confessions of others, proof found around in gaza and so on, to be executed?


"pariah state" (2024 datapoint is from the end of february)

Isn't that the green?


by rafiki P

Isn't that the green?

Yes, it's tanking.



Cliff notes for vic's link:

Genocide imperialist racist colonisation blah blah blah


Cliff notes is that Israel committed a ton of unhinged atrocities that will go down in history as one of the worst acts of our lifetime.

and also they are liars.


by PointlessWords P

Pretty sure Palestinians don’t have an army which makes them all civilians . Are you saying Hamas is an army?

So wait

They can shoot rockets at israel, kidnap and kill civilians, but you think the should be protected as civilians in a war?

That's rich, even for you

do you hate any countries right now? or historically?


GPS is being blocked across swathes of Israel in order to disrupt missiles and drones, as tensions rise with Iran.

Iran has vowed to respond after a strike on its consulate building in Syria on Monday - which Israel was widely believed to be behind - killed 13 people, including a senior general.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also announced it was halting all leave for soldiers serving with combat units.

It comes a day after reservists were called up to bolster air defence units.

Israeli authorities seem to believe an Iranian response is imminent and could come as soon as Friday, which is Quds Day - or Jerusalem Day - the last Friday in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

I would think they would at least hold a special part in your heart


Iran ain't gonna do ****. They aren't genocidal warmongers.
