[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.

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.
I am not at all convinced Bibi has a plan or vision of any sort for Gaza other than to continue bombing Gaza and pandering to his right wing cronies until he sees a political opening to survive.
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!
Did I say bad decisions by the kids?
Nobody cares about your little poor Palestinian pictures. It's a war and we know horrible things are happening. I notice you don't post pictures of the victims of October 7th. Just think how many kids would still be alive if Hamas didn't attack that day.
This young beautiful talented women is being hounded by these creeps. She has nothing to do with this war. This poor women has a 20 vehicle protection to get her to the performance. She is there because she has talent and wants to bring joy to the world. I'm not surprised an evil witch from Ireland is on the side of the evil doers.
You go Eden.
Look at the difference between the beautiful Eden from Israel and the circus creeps who are against her. Inside we are seeing a beautiful performance. Outside you see the evil in the streets.
Hey Ireland! Are you proud to have an evil witch as your representative?
I don't even know what the other thing that is boycotting Eurovision is.
Folks, I'll leave it to you which side you are on.
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 wo
this might seem like a nice idea. but the problem is they be too uppity.

war is hell when a Gazan kid gets decapitated or burned alive or buried alive. when an Israeli soldier gets killed? well, then its ok to decapitate or burn or bury 10s of thousands of children.
this is called supremacy.
Didn’t see any Chinese flags at edc this year. Thank goodness
Didn’t see any Israeli flags either, and I thought that was sad

Mongidig has been banned for 3 days for bigotry against the LGBTQ community. Do not be like Mongidig.
Victor is fine in my opinion, he has also pointed out, correctly, some of the corruption of israel and the idf.
Its also war times again. Which hasnt happened for quite a while and people take sides and regs can get emotional. Its just the way it is.
Hi friends, I've deleted the last few posts. Please PM me with any questions or complaints regarding this thread instead of taking the conversation off-topic.
To the two people I owe PM responses to, I apologize for the delay. Its been a hectic day here with baby Xnerd. Thanks guys ♥
*redacted* is this what the kids say...uhh... how it started...how its going?
my man saying the loud part out loud that genocide/ethnic cleansing is the goal here
many such cases
The mission in Gaza isn't aimless
The aim is pure terror in the short term, probably a greater occupation in the longer term
I struggle to believe that Mossad couldn't literally and figuratively behead Hamas within a month

the mission is destroying tunnels and Hamas weapon stockpiles and to kill as many Hamas people as possible, and destroy Hamas financial income (which a part from Iran direct donations, came from stealing UNRWA aid).
Mossad can't make Hamas revenue 0, beheading local leaders is irrelevant if one of the 10s of thousands of terrorist rank and file criminals left become the new head of the local smuggling operation.
logistic main leaders live under strong security in foreign countries and it's not so easy to kill all of them. they killed some on a consulate building and... many ppl ITT decried that as well lol

The "heads" are guests of US "allies" (Turkey, Qatar, probably Egypt) where Israel is not allowed to go after them. On the ground in Gaza much of the head of the snake has been cut off in the last 7 months, which is why Hamas is so ineffective as a fighting force or doing much more than stealing aid and shooting Palestinians.
But there is a lot of guns and a lot of people willing to shoot them (mostly at Palestinians while stealing their food), so still a lot of Hamas. I mean if the objective is to just hide in tunnels, poke your head out every once in a while to take pot shots at Israeli soldiers, and steal all the aid after the soldiers leave, that isn't too difficult a strategy that small cells couldn't do this on their own without much leadership or coordination.

I'm aware of where Hamas leadership is. I didn't stutter.

The fighting force hasn't shown any sign of degradation and has been killing invaders at a higher rate than ever.
Man I'm glad there were 2 other choppers with the Iranian President's 3rd chopper. Will prevent crazy speculation on an attempt.
