[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.

once again, I refer you guys to the Sartre quote. sorry xn, I think that jalfrezi described exactly his intention.
You are actually not telling the truth. My bet has always been we get pictures of 500 Israeli citizens and 500 Palestinian citizens and that I will be able to distinguish which are which within a reasonable degree of certainty
Because of wealth culture and income you will.
Living decent civilized lives leaves marks on your body you know?
Would you take that bet with 1 day old babies?
We do it all the time in western societies. White guy shoots up a school, he has mental issues or was being teased
Brown person does it and they are terrorists.
The incubator videos and pics were all fake or from years ago

Israel did not try to kill any babies. They didn't allowv fuel in at that point but there was plenty of fuel and hamas didn't give it to the hospital
To be fair at least 6 babies did die

But the depiction that Israel killed them is still 100% false
Clearly it’s true by any metric. By international standards. By international opinion. By legal definition. By Webster definition.
And by general usage
Hamas is still holding American civilianshostage but you think there should be a cease-fire so now you are worried about American doctors?
a ceasefire brings the "hostages" home. so yes, ofc I want a ceasefire, always have.
you know what doesnt bring them home? dropping bombs on them.
just a reminder that Israel knows where everyone lives and has all of their cell phone data and is able to track all of them.
but ya, the deaf teacher was def Hamas.
Sorry I misspoke.
“The report said it was “reasonable to assess” that U.S. defense articles “have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 in instances inconsistent” with its international humanitarian law obligations “or with established best practices,” according to an executive summary of the report.
The current hostilities trace to that date in the fall, when Hamas militants led a cross-border attack into Israel that killed 1,200. The Palestinian death toll is nearing 35,000, according to local health authorities, who do not distinguish between combatants and civilians but note that most of the dead are women and children.“
also Israel is once again firing on UN workers
its ok bc the UN is antisemitic or something
Sorry I misspoke.

The U.S. government did not find any violations of Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act, which bars military aid to any government that “prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian assistance.” However, the United States “will continue to monitor and respond.”
The report also says Israel could do better but did not violate law and the US will continue to send supplies
