[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]
@Luciom. None of the other 110 armed conflicts matter, bro.
Just this most fashionable one. Pariah state like the USA for its funding and MAGA. The punditry (former Covid and social justice experts) is really the most nauseating shiit on earth.
slighted, when is the last time you thought about grozny

you now have some idea of the frequency with which people who lack a special interest in this conflict will think about it once the dust settles
Yesterday, Vic was marveling at someone not breaking stride after an explosion. I told you months ago, you can't conceive of the situation for your cushy circumstance. Speed ahead in the conversation.
i'm not sure everyone isn't going to look back on killing tens of thousands of innocent brown people fondly. some people in this thread included. but most people that want careers in politics or other decent places are going to be saying a lot of "i never intended to support this" and "i didn't know this would be the outcome" similar to Iraq/afghanistan.
Many will never have supported it. The labout leadership in the uk is getting their fast.
Many Israelis who have been involved will struggle to come to terms with what they have been involved in. That's another 'crime' governments commit.
There’s still an Irish genocide that’s on going. Also a Muslim and a Tibetan one in China.
There’s a bunch in Africa that I don’t know about as well
Not saying that comment is justified as I don't think it is. Maybe if you didn't constantly defend anti Semites like vic though, you wouldn't face such an accusation.
Oh and don't bother stating that he isn't an anti Semite, nobody but anti Semites make such persistent Nazi comparisons regarding Jews. If you can't see that, then well, you can't see that.
And what’s the accusation exactly?
Now the full tape and more info has come out it's very clear that gideon falter has done no favours at all to the jewish people in the UK
Even John Mann is calling him out
Tonight is the first night of passover
It reminds us that people always want to kill us, but we always persevere
anyway, as the Palestinians dig out more of their relatives from mass graves, these are the thought leaders of the Zionists
thinking that people always want to kill you is deranged
Well, in the case of Hamas they literally said when they conquer Israel they are going to kill some Jews, enslave others, and let the remaining live as dhimni if they choose. So I think it is also important that when people literally tell you they are going to kill/enslave you, and their actions match their words to the best of their capabilities; you should take them at face value and respond accordingly.
well this is what their founder actually said
maybe the translation is off I dunno
Israel murdered that man btw
Tonight is the first night of passover
It reminds us that people always want to kill us, but we always persevere
Really wonder about the end of the section
Let my People Go!
We weren't always slaves in Egypt
We
I would hope for something like "We actually never were based on archaeology and detailed study of ancient Egypt." But I imagine that's not what it says.
I gave CV two days for insulting people because he seemed to be the most egregious offender, but there are several people in this thread who need to dial it back.
apparently NYPD just arrested 100s at NYU including professors.
Is this today? They arrested a bunch at the end of last week and google was having a fit.
also earlier today a bunch of Yale students got arrested. and transported in university busses lol!
Is it though? You look at wars all over the world the last 25 years, nobody went "genocide" on 5 digit or even 6 digit civilian death counts. We're doing it here because reasons, but we traditionally never really do.
A bunch of governing bodies definitely dropped the G word designation of the Bosnian war. When you look at that list of crimes (oddly pretty much resembling the Oct 7th list with rape etc), you can see why. Does anyone talk abou
