[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]

I don't believe you can call this my genocidal massacre? I've done nothing of the sort. I'll report this and see where it lands (just so I know what's fair). But this seems outside of the spirit of the new rules to promote more harmony and dialogue in here.
Why dont you ever talk about unplugging babies from incubators?
wtf is that? how do you justify that? you cant.
She
Yeah we get there eventually lol. Catch up.
of course there are women in hamas.
the problem that you have is that women in gaza do whatever the men tell them to do. which included suicide bombings btw.
doesnt mean they are guilty. they have no say whatsoever.
If you lead a baby/incubator conversation I'll participate in it after some errands. I'm hoping it's a little more robust than the female Hamas discussion. That was a little light on substance.
Modern textbooks list Israel as the occupying white state and Palestinians as brown people
Pw says he can tell any Palestinian apart from an Israeli because Israelis are white and Palestinians are not in his opinion
my post was not deleted. its still there.

my flippant response to your mischaracterization was deleted although ofc I stand by it.
Washoe do you share your account with someone else? Note I respect both your opinions. I'm just trying to figure out which one I talk to now.
Cognitive dissonance and all, so I'm not saying anyone is lying, but it makes sense for Israel to portray Hamas as more powerful than they actually are and it also makes sense for people supporting the resistance to do that as well. The number of Israelis killed since the early days of the invasion is relatively very very low.
Clean up the editorializing of one another’s intentions and try to stay on topic or this thread will be paused again for us to all reflect. Thank youuu
Agree. The fact that hamas hasn't surrendered and is the cause of this is disgusting
ya and they use drones for a lot of those headshots.
bc a lot of Israeli snipers have gotten the red triangle treatment lately bc they love standing by windows in a war zone.
Thanks for keeping the peace yo! I expect it'll get easier soon.
the number reported by Israel is low. but we know they dont report all of their casualties and deaths to the media. the Resistance posts videos all the time that do not correspond with the reports.
Although I don't agree with some of this post, I agree about how powerful Hamas is. They are not to be taken lightly at all. As terrorists go, they are among the most dangerous and effective in the world. Israel is right to mobilize as many as they have to handle an opponent this well trained.
Israel claims they've defeated 20 out of 24 battalions
How many hamas are in each battalion? No idea
That didn't happen. Unless you are referring to when hamas was hoarding fuel in the tunnels and ax hospital had to .. but it's still not something the idf did
man the algorithm is too good
I think it's extremely unlikely that there are a significant number of Israeli soldiers who have been killed where it's not publicly known and publicized.
the idf removed power from every hospital in gaza, effectively killing every baby in an incubator. and any other patients.
@crossnerd, do you see how annoying this is? like I dont want him banned or anything and I actually dont think he is lying, but the incubator story is well known. now you want me to spend the 10 or 15 minutes finding all of the mainstream cites to show he is wrong? and then in a few months he will be back in here saying the same thing. isnt easier just to call him some names and move on?
The disagreement illustrates how these discussions often end up focusing on something like "did these soldiers grab babies and throw them out of their incubators"? Which would be dramatic and horrible. But, what actually happened is power is turned off, access to clean water turned off, bombs just flying everywhere directed by AI - and lots of babies die horrible deaths.
you are massively whitewashing what actually happened.
Yes, if you want to disprove the claim.
isnt easier just to call him some names and move on?
No, because then you have to have a timeout and snacks
