[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]

They are saying Israel is being awful but they don't want to take in Palestinian refugees.
Ok diario is a rightwing rag of very low quality and find of publishing complete nonsense just to provoke.
Why isn't it acceptable? Netanyahu is behaving like any other genocidal authoritarian caudillo.
I'm so tired of this moral exceptionalism nonsense. I have Jewish ancestry but that doesn't give me any right to defend genocide.
You can argue like an adult
That doesn't mean you can post pictures of Bibi wearing a swatstiki
Unless that's the only way you know how to argue
Also
Israel isn't committing genocide so your point is moot
And you're pretty much wrong about all 3 and your arguments make people take you less seriously
Did you see how the Palestinian side acted in that video? Do you support this?
The people in London and NY will go about their business until one day it is too late.
They think civil disobedience = violence
The word zionist should not even be allowed in the discussions
It implies there is an argument about whether Israel should exist
At this point, there is no rational argument against it
It's obviously not genocide. I think the anti Israel crowd gets more giddy about a tent of people getting bombed than the Israelis. Each time this "infrequently" happens they think this supports their "genocide" narrative. It's pretty simple, if you attack Israel they will attack you ten times worse. This is why other muslim countries don't mess with them.
My advice is don't attack Israel.
There's going to be a full blown war with Hezbollah at some point soon
People aren't watching long videos on the off chance they'll catch a glimpse of what you're talking about.
Start the video at the relevant spot and I'll watch it, but street protests are part of our heritage and no one cares about it. Most of the violence on them is usually by the police anyway.
Everyone everywhere will go about their business until one day it's too late.
Yeah but the right it call it what it is disappeared when the international community decided to agree with the highlighted:
"The holiday we practice believes in violent revolution against it's oppressors".
" We will see you at your house and kill you".
" I hope someday somebody brings the guillotine and kills you ********!"
The lady who said this is also angry that they put metal detectors up because of their presence.
Why would you waste everybodys time bringing up a cease fire resolution for GAZA in Bakersfield California.

You can compare the policies of present and former governments. You cannot post incendiary antisemitic imagery.
I mean that’s your opinion. I clearly educated many people on the feminism, traitor and civilian definitions.
Pretty much wrong doesn’t mean I am wrong, sadly
Feminism is the fight for equality between men and women.
Traitor is aiding a countries enemies (enemy being defined as someone you’re at war with[had to educate people on American wars])
Civilian means not in the armed forces -(Oxford definition)
At this point since they have the north still evacuated and all the active duty people called up they might as well finish the job. There should not be one more rocket lobbed randomly into Israel ever.
Biden just gave an hour long speech urging the ending of hostilities.

Cliffs are:
1. next 6 week is full withdrawal of IDF, 600 food trucks a day, negotiations.
2. permanent treaty
3. rebuild Gaza
Israel will not listen and will wait out the election if necessary
Well, that's always been the case.
Notv true
Of not for biden this war would have ended long ago. They would have destroyed rafah
4. resign
5. [redacted]
Biden is claiming Israel proposed this
We shall see
really hope this won't happen, in the meanwhile I hope Israel intensifies attacks in rafah
Well! The whole "genocide" nonsense just blew up.
Pro Palestine protestors are gonna have to find something else to be outraged about. Maybe they will protest against Hamas until they accept the deal.
