Israel/Palestine thread

Think this merits its own thread...

Discuss my fellow 2+2ers..

AM YISRAEL CHAI.


[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD

2+2 Rules

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]

You could always read the article and decide for yourself.


The non woke world is once again on Israel's side. They have seen the behavior of the protestors and now realize why Israel is doing what it is doing. Palestinians have no one to blame but themselves. You teach others how to treat you. Act like a civilized person and you will be treated like a civilized person.


I get that all powerful people and nations lie. but why is Israel so bad at it?


I thought I remembered they had found her months ago. and I dont get how the body could be in such good condition. it makes no sense.

Perfect example of the kind of empty rhetoric you’d just as likely hear from a Hamas supporter.

Yeah it seems like Hamas prisoners are being tortured in Israeli prisons. Not to the degree that Israeli women were tortured on October 7, but tortured nonetheless. Still wrong.

Meaningless guff.


BTW its a GENOCIDE.

researchers from yale university, cornell law school, boston university and pretoria university have concluded that.

Barghouti is not Hamas. hes never been Hamas. he was in a separate political party. nor was he free on Oct 7 or anytime in the last 22 years.

this stuff is easy to look up. its not good to just make assumptions.

and ofc they are being mistreated far worse than Israeli women were. they are running literal torture camps. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/10/middleeas... the vast majority are not Hamas or even Resistance in anyway.


University officials at my school officially shut down the quad this week after the building was defaced in some places on the bordering buildings. Between graffiti, etchings into windows, and peeing on the building, enough was enough, and right by them. The protest was ay-OK for weeks until these things started to occur around last Wednesday when a large protest occurred. The rumor is that local black bloc'ers unaffiliated with the school infiltrated the encampments and rallied people into vandalism. I can buy this, but I can also buy that students got really drunk and high and have just gone nuts.

Yeah right on time. Figured it would take him less than a week.

This is the end of the gov now I'd say.


Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.


At this point in time it goes without saying. This will go down as one of the greatest hoaxes of our lives.


What Gallant is objecting to he's doing so as a general, not a politician. He's doing everything he can to avoid ISRAELI military occupation of the style Bibi wanted, which includes the risk of settlements. In that sense Gallant/Gantz view of things is very different from the Bibi one. So believe me if you care as much about Gaza as I think you do, this is still good news. It's all relative.

They said "genocidal acts". Every war has "genocidal acts".

Also, no one should listen to creepy libs from a creepy university. They all hate Jews.

from the Palestinian perspective and the Resistance, I dont think a coalition occupation is all that different than an Israeli occupation.

other than that, it seems that Gallant is just playing politics and trying to nail Bibi down on something that his group can use to leverage power.

Im a softie pink commie. I dont care about their posturing. I am able to look at things from the Palestinian perspective on first glance and then read their voices from there. from what I have read, they dont gaf about this nor will they submit to it.

I'm a firm believer that people create their conditions. Decisions lead to consequences that shape who you are. It's not a coincidence that Gaza is getting pounded. Keep playing the victim and you will always be the victim. I can mention certain flavors of people in our society who feel they are victims and never grow out of it. Other flavors of people have over come horrible things in their lives and become more successful because of it.

The Poor baby Palestinian story is just the flavor of the day. Notice how no one cares about Ukraine anymore. Obviously these people don't care about the hundreds of other atrocities going on around the world.

ok so his is objectively false. maybe you could provide a source bc I think you are mistaken.

not only have no women spoken out, even anonymously, nor have any medical personal or counselors divulged they have treated any.

one of the greatest hoaxes of all time and used to murder babies in Gaza. just depraved when you think about it.

The Gazans will need to be occupied and run by Israel for at least 20 years. The education system will need to be overhauled. The youth will need to be reeducated. The remaining Hamas sympathizers will need to be hunted down. Also, Hezbollah will need to be destroyed in the north. A simple statement of "We accept Israel as a legitimate state" will go a long ways toward the Gazans governing themselves. Ultimately, it would be best for the world to find a different place for them to live and possibly create their own nation.

kinda want to post hte picture of the toddler whos head was gone. like, he still had a face, but his entire head was empty. or the toddler who was impaled on the wall with both legs missing. but I wont out of respect crossnerd. although, I find his posting much more offensive than all the dead baby pics of all time.

bad decisions by those kids mongo says!


by metsandfinsfan P

This whole community protected this Jewish kid from the Hamas supporters

Now lets get these rock throwing kids and their parents thrown out of the country.

I am hopeful that the good people of this world will rise up against these modern day Nazis.
