[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.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]
Playing the victim card while you are slaughtering a captive population which has nowhere to escape to and which you massively outgun is disgusting.
Some of you people should be ashamed of yourselves. If you were capable of feeling shame that is, which I doubt.

Which population are the Jews in New York and London slaughtering??
i should note that i do not feel unsafe as a jewish londoner. it tends to be the older generation who report feeling unsafe, perhaps because they have experienced more antisemitism over the years than my generation. also i married a bengali girl and we have a daughter together, which totally throws the IRL victors off the scent
i suspect i would feel differently if i were a conspicuous jew (and therefore potentially antagonising folk with my open jewishness), but that is just speculation
I have a pretty good idea of Vic's list. But jalfrezi, can I have YOUR list of countries that you take this much issue with? Like ballpark, it's ok if Israel tops your list. What others are in the ballpark for you?

Basically. Which is probably why my (fictional) relatives are concerned with wearing kippahs in public.
Denying the existence of Jews is the most anti-semetic thing ever.
No matter how times you cry about it, it’s no less true.
And it isn’t even a stretch (like a terrorist lover like you discussing issues with your Jewish neighbors), but you’re clearly a crybaby ignoramus.
Ok, so you have no polls, only hysteria gs #3737.
rafiki,
I think you're wrong about who would or wouldn't call things genocide if the situation were reversed. In this group there are a bunch of Christians. There are Christians who are communists or anarchists or anti-Imperialists or whatever who will always side with the oppressed and less powerful and even if they are not fair or rational and adopt the hatred that becomes common in any group that takes sides under conditionals like this, it's about who has less power. There are also Christians in this group who are just fascists who worship power and will side with the more powerful here because they think anyone who complains about being oppressed should be murdered.
So, any world where 6 months of fighting means 300 dead Arabs and 30000 dead Jews would have those Christians on different sides.
For the Jews here, things are a bit different.

Consider hiring some bodyguards and someone to film you next time you decide to take a totally random walk that just happens to be near a pro-Palestine demo.
lol
Maikng it about Gideon Falter is awful.
Police being moronic is not an excuse to attack the victim. Nor does it make their view on anything important in any way.
Really bad that the conversation goes in that direction.
I think you'd have to see Mr Falter as a very willing victim. Some might even suggest he got exactly what he wanted from the predictably appalling Mets.
It certainly won't have harmed his fund raising for the genocide.
Ploughing right on through Sunday, like the tanks of Alshifastan
I'm talking about the people in this thread who are constantly crying about antisemitism while they support what Israel is doing in Gaza. If the country you openly support is carrying out a massive systematic slaughter of a captive population then I would suggest you need to toughen up a bit and stop crying about being a victim.
