[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.

Twitter and tiktok are streams of anecdotes. And it's not a random sampling. It can have news items, but there's no way it's a representative population. And both you and people like mets do this. Someone could very easily post a stream of comments from Palestine activists saying all Jews everywhere should be boiled in oil. Very easily.
The actual polls are bad enough. The anecdotes are ridic. I don't want to have to find tiktoks or
almost 90% of the Jewish Israeli population either supports the way the war is being waged or think the Army is not killing enough.
we have pages of genocidal statements by leaderssubmitted by SA to the courts.
many Israeli scholars have been predicting an event like this for years given the radicalization and dehumanization in their society.
these soldiers are a reflection of that.
this is going to go down in history as one of the all time greatest crimes. it seems that you think this is some both sides type thing. its not. its a coordinated effort the torture and murder a civilian population.
The irony of people like Bill Haywood and Victor insisting that the Palestinian project is a secular fascist nationalist movement, is that this is actually worse. The fascist nationalist Arab movement is explicitly a Nazi sympathetic movement to create pure Arab Muslim ethnostates.
This is opposed to Islamism, which is fundamentally an Apartheid ideology where it is codified by Islamic law that infidels can coexist as second class citizens. Even Hamas states upon their reconquer of Israel, after they have killed all the fighters and enslaved all the high human capital Jews, the rest can stay as dhimni.

Vic, fully everyone is tired of you spamming random unverifiable tweets.
the tweets make you uncomfortable. they should make you uncomfortable.
Are you serious? 750,000 were expelled. Plan Dalet, adopted March 1948, set the priorities to seize as much land with as few Palestinians as possible.
Benny "Finish the Job" Morris accepts there was a Nakba, why can't you?
micro, this guy doesnt think its just anecdotes. he wrote like 100 pages on what he has seen.
hes a Jewish Israeli professor and not one of those dirty Arabs that Trolly likes to dismiss
that guys is looking at the same stuff I am. he is drawing the same conclusions. I dont have the ability to write long articles. but I know what I see.
I feel like almost all tweets are unverified and should be treated as pointless words
Vic has a large bias but that doesn’t mean he’s wrong
The rape denier says that Israel murdered its own people on oct 7
Adds up too
Palestinians didn’t cleanse the Jews from 40 countries man.
and the nakba, just like the trail of tears, happened
The fastest way to peace is reconciliation. Terrorists grow exponentially due to the compound growth of one dead terrorist person growing 3 more terrorist people.
So it’s an extremely ineffective way to end a conflict although it will help the people in charge spend tax payer money on weapons while staying in charge. In the end the common person suffers(on both sides) and the rich get richer while keeping their hands “clean”
Vic there was clearly rape on Oct 7 just like there is rape in IDF jails where the Palestinians are being held
