[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.

I don't think anyone disagrees with this. I don't think it will be rushed. Obviously a government that's main purpose is to destroy their neighbor isn't going to considered a legitimate state. Also no one is going to rebuild the cities in such a government, because it will just get destroyed again. I think most will agree to follow your 3 steps, what I think will be the major holdup is that if Hamas isn't allowed in the government then thei
rofl the hypocrisy never ends with you people
Some members of Congress are basically members of Hamas as well
the police released an apology following that incident, stating that the use of the term 'openly jewish' was, on reflection, 'hugely regrettable'
the statement went on to note that a trend has emerged where those who oppose the pro-palestine marches are appearing close to the protest, and that they (direct quote upcoming) 'must know their presence is provocative'
half an hour later the police apologised for their apology, noting that they hav
if anything, this is racist against the Palestinians.
its saying they are so bloodthirsty that even the appearance of a Kippah could turn them violent.
regardless, the only threat to this person was from the police. and yet somehow we are supposed to blame the people opposing genocide.
It did happen. Boids linked it happening. Here again is video of it happening

ya Im not seeing how a stupid policeman is the fault of the demonstrators nor how that in any way shows antisemitism from the pro-Palestnians.

If the presence of an "openly Jewish" person is deemed "provocative" to pro Palestinians due to his Jewishness, then that's clearly anti effin Semitic. You wouldn't see this as you're also clearly an anti Semite too so give other anti Semites a free pass. See how that works?
A video showed an officer using the term while speaking to Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, who was wearing a kippah skull cap near the demonstration in the Aldwych area of London on the afternoon of Saturday 13 April.
The officer said Mr Falter's presence was "antagonising".
Mr Falter said he had been walking in the capital after attending a synagogue and was not there to counter-protest as he walked past the demonstration last Saturday.
lol ya right
seems this guy got the response he wanted. not from the pro-Palestinians who probably knew what his game was, but from the dumbass police.

I am not giving the policeman a free pass. who is the only one who showed any sort of prejudice and bias. to both sides amazingly.

So it's the Joos fault for being Jooish, he was clearly trying to provoke things sneaky Joo that he is, yeah? You really are as pathetic as you are odious.

The cop said he was gonna piss off the pro IDF side.
You tell me who he is protecting
probably, if I had to bet on it.
good thing the pro-Palestinians didnt respond. unfortunately they still get painted as anti-semitic due to a moran policeman.
the problem is that the police threatened to arrest the guy for quote being openly jewish
ya thats a problem with the police. not with the demonstrators.

It's not just down to the policeman, there's plenty of anti Semitism at pro Palestinian protests.

Let's not forget the "we are Hamas" catcalling against Jewish students. Which I'm sure you'll deny due to your anti Semitism.
if I had to guess, this guy was trying to get some sort of reaction from the protesters.

Actually, Biden's government and most of the democratic party, disagree with this. Not even behind closed doors, fairly openly. If you ask the Biden cabinet, they really think they can do 2 states inside 18-24 months.
Nobody, and I mean not even the most Hacky Sack'n beanie wearin left of left hipster in Israel believes this to be possible today.
2 State was there every time the Palestinians passed on the offer. Right now post Oct 7th, it's going to be a long slog. But we'll get there.

Oh lol I am so naive I thought he was going as a white shield/ show of solidarity

That’s what they say to get re-elected. In reality it’s support Israel at all costs
