[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.

pretty sure I have never said most. I am careful to precisely be imprecise and say many.
It’s literally irrelevant
I don't follow Tankie Twitter. Googling showed me two sources for the "Mass Hannibal" event: Cradle, which is the youtube channel you just sent and Electronic Intifada. I have never doubted that this happened to some extent. Trying to suggest that the majority of deaths, or even a large % was from this is the misinformation. Claiming that the music festival was a military target is disinformation.
As I've stated several times, even if some Israelis were killed due to this, it is still a terrorist attack.
Israel found 200 Resistance fighters mixed in with the dead of their own. it took them days or weeks to realize they werent actually Israelis and then they reduced the overall count of dead.
think about why that would be.

the Israeli guy called it a "mass hannibal" event. thats what we were discussiong. why would you google mass hannibal and expect to find anything but that one single description?
and I sent you the actual primary source recording of the guy. maybe we can someone in here who speaks Hebrew to confirm the translation.
What are you talking about regarding the description? I said the source for this story are two sources I do not follow, and nowhere else. I am not doubting this person said it.
The corruption of Hamas is a reason not to carpet bomb Gaza - regardless of any opinion polls you are thinking about finding.
This. Also, it's wild how Israel is leaving these Hamas leadership guys alone in peace to party in Qatar. Almost as if eliminating Hamas was never really the point!

the source is a Haaretz podcast

those guys arent legitimate targets anyway as they are part of the political wing and not the military wing. Hamas has a bifurcated structure so presumably they were not involved with Oct 7.
As crazy as it sounds, those guys in Qatar probably represent the more moderate elements of Hamas and are not really in charge now.
I try to say many
Israel has attacked Iran before and could attack Qatar and they have assassinated or captured people all over the world, but attacking Qatar would be a huge expansion of the war and Qatar is an (oil) ally of the US/Europe.
Germany is back to doing genocide and arresting Jews again
If Germany arrests a Jew, it's Nazi past.
If Hamas kills Jews as their Arab ancestors, allied with Nazis, did, it's resistance against oppression.
If victors writes something, it's Pallywood propaganda
then how come you've been claiming that the IDF killed most of the jewish civilians on oct 7
Victor clearly wants Jews to be rounded up and exterminated, just like in WW2.
The presence of the state is Israel is a huge impediment to this, so Victor works tirelessly here (and Iād imagine elsewhere) to discredit/label Israel to get closer to his goal.
around 30% of the people arrested for antisemitism in Germany are Jewish. .6% of the population is Jewish.
