[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]
Now do the USA...
Btw imagine not arming yourself when you've been under this level of attack since FOREVER.
We had ANOTHER Jewish school shot here in Canada yesterday, two in a week now. If you look at the history of the Jews through time I'm amazed we waited this long to gather somewhere and protect ourselves. History has proven that we need the strength in numbers. It's crazy.
The Al Hamduhlala brigade is apparently getting deep-dicked in Rafah. yhtsi
Four repetitive, rule breaking posts in a row from Washoe.
Whoa, now 7!
Reducing Hamas operatives to "civilians with guns" is taking things a bit far.
There's a difference between walking around with a gun for independent self-defense and taking up arms with an organized group against an entire country.
Not saying that all insurgency is wrong, but insurgency is insurgency.
It's terrorists as per international designation, while all talk about military/civilian is useless because Gaza isn't a state , so there is no war to which Geneva conventions can apply.
How many times did these peaceful unarmed settlers shoot and kill a palestinian neighbour?
And then stole their land and their House?
Too many TIMES!!!
How many times did they Shoot teenagers Dead in the head??
I could go on and on...
both arab jews and muslim arab israeli exist
I think that when the leader of an enemy nation explicitly endorses your movement, then it's time for our own legal system to do the same and label a movement a terrorist/eversive one and act accordingly
The thought that rockets are being shot from rafah this week, but you (pw) believe Israel cannot respond because gaza has "no military" is so preposterous that I'm going to assume you are joking
You can attack enemy combatants. Doesn’t mean they are apart of a military. Doesn’t mean they aren’t a civilian.
I posted the definition
It says “literally a civilian is someone who is not a member of any countries armed forces”
Take that as you will.

You can be a civilian and an insurgent. They aren’t mutually exclusive. You can’t be a civilian and a member of the armed forces. Those are mutually exclusive.

I never said that lol I said they are civilians. You can attack civilians with guns lmao
That’s like the definition man.
Do you guys know what police are called?
“Paramilitary”

No way man, a terrorist is like a dude who wants to kill your citizens, man, not a dude who posts about who he likes and doesn't like online or some dudes who stage peaceful protests.
You’re missing a key part of terrorism.
It’s like you people have never used a dictionary

I think western liberals severely underestimate how much progressive elites, and more generally young people, are motivated by anti Western civilization animus and are completely ok with being on the same side as Khameni. And how much Chinese cyber propaganda efforts through Tik Tok is involved in this.
Dont forget, recently social media platforms had to censor Bin Laden material, because liberal elites were concerned how much young people thought he was making good points.
You guys are literally all wrong. Congratulations. You’ve spent days arguing something you know nothing about.

Well i think being on the side of Khamenei (or any other leader of an enemy nation, like Putin or Xi) should be a very serious criminal offense that as a minimum bans you for life to ever holding office , and potentially for any public job (or job financed with public money), before you think about jail time and stuff.
