[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]

The same way the US fought Iraq and Afghanistan. You pick up your balls and send your troops door to door with rifles, grenades and medivacs

Do you know how many civilians died in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Do you know how many civilians died in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Do you know how many died after the initial invasion and occupation?

Because that’s what we are talking about


by Victor P

Oct 7 was a legitimate attack on military targets.

This seems an unacceptable stretch. And it was bad policy anyway, because it gave the Israelis something to kick against, and basically they've got more firepower. And like Hamas they are absolutely pitiless towards their perceived ethnic enemies.


From the 1980s:

Go **** yourself Victor you antisenetic lowlife

I mean, realistically this is an example of the type of posting that kills threads the quickest. This is why a mod like Browser was necessary.


by Victor P

its hard to read this article and not think so

you get the idea

Victor, what I’m reading is a description of armed civilians, some with former military experience, in gated communes. It’d be a stretch even to call it a fort, much less a military installation. These are peoples homes they defend with volunteer communal militias. See above ^


That is not a comment on the legality (or morality) of building communes on disputed or stolen land, fwiw. Just.. they’re not military installations. Children and babies don’t live in military installations.


Ay yo, shooting a toddler is still kind of jacked regardless of whether or not it's on a military installation.

how many toddlers were shot and who shot them trolly?


by Victor P

how many toddlers were shot and who shot them trolly?

I truly don't know what part of "It's bad to shoot small children" you're taking exception to here.


its def bad. too bad no one did that.

I dont know why facts are so difficult for you.

Only time I ever was on a military base (Leavenworth), they were everywhere.

they are defensive structures. thats why they were put there and they still exist as such today.

If it didn't happen then I don't see why it matters if it didn't happen on a military installation or if it didn't happen in a gated community.


"gated community"


The kibbutz I know anything about that was next to Gaza had people living there who were dedicated to peace and working together with Arabs and Gazans.


If you read the Geneva convention it says those kibbutz guys are fair game.


by microbet P

The kibbutz I know anything about that was next to Gaza had people living there who were dedicated to peace and working together with Arabs and Gazans.

I dont think those people were going to allow Gazans to go back to their homes in neighboring communities.

M declared, "You have judged according to the very sentence of God above the seven heavens."[29][28] Consequently, 600–900 men of Banu Qurayza were executed. The women and children were distributed as slaves, with some being transported to Najd to be sold. The proceeds were then utilized to purchase weapons and horses for the Muslims.[a]

--Wikipedia leaves this part out, but the women slaves were made concubines (sex slaves who are raped, i

Wiikipedia is not a realiable source. But assuming what's there is true question still where in the Quran Allah orders violence, raping Jews, as you said in previous post?
The "Wikipedia leaves this part out" is even more dodgy then your theory about a God ordering to rape Jews .

Settlers most probably


Jews and Muslims have the same god


by PointlessWords P

You can get the death penalty in several muslim-majority countries if you say that as a Muslim.

Not in Israel though, I wonder why


So what?


by Luckbox Inc P

Only time I ever was on a military base (Leavenworth), they were everywhere.

Leavenworth is half the size of the entirety of Gaza. How large do you think a typical kibbutz is?
