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]

really hope this won't happen, in the meanwhile I hope Israel intensifies attacks in rafah

I'm thinking that Israel knows Hamas won't take the deal. Israel and the US are going full court press to change the narrative back to Hamas as the bad guy's.

the feeling is this is Biden trying to take the spotlight after trump trial has finished.

but we can wait for official Israel comments on this and so on


by Bluegrassplayer P

Biden just gave an hour long speech urging the ending of hostilities.

Broken YouTube Link


Cliffs are:

1. next 6 week is full withdrawal of IDF, 600 food trucks a day, negotiations.
2. permanent treaty
3. rebuild Gaza

Israel should also demand the school curriculum removes the Jew hate. Obviously no more Hamas summer camp.

Does this deal apply to the other Islamist terror groups operating in the area?

It does make sense to kick Trump while he is down. If Biden can get this deal done Trump won't be able to run on ending this war.


Seems like a pretty good situation for Israel. Completely demolish gaza while killing a certain % of Hamas militants and then pack up and leave while maintaining western backing.

Not forgetting a certain % of civilians too.

And don't forget Hamas gets to brag about all the rapes!


Wow. If you ever wanted to know what sort of lowlife scum would sign a bomb that will probably end up blowing off some poor child's limbs.

Here's your answer.


I like Haley even more now thanks for sharing that

How do they know these people were martyrs?

Here's your answer.

These bombs were intended to hit Hamas.


by metsandfinsfan P

Rape is not resistance.


by mongidig P

These bombs were intended to hit Hamas.

Even if that was true you know very well that it's mostly civilians especially children that will ultimately die or be maimed as a result of these bombs.

Signing them like that is totally unnecessary and just disgusting.

they empaneled a non biased jury to vote on that

except it isn't, unless you believe pallywood propaganda. it's mostly Hamas people who get hit by the very precise bombing since like December


Intention is not more important than result when it comes to ethics/morality.


that's the basic debate in ethical philosophy (deontological vs consequentialist) and your take isn't necessarily true or correct, but luckily it doesn't matter as the consequences are very good anyway: in the last 5-6 months almost no innocent civilian has been killed by Israeli bombing while a ton of hamas members, enablers and supporters died

Of course it is

Hamas should surrender

Bullshit.

Have you got any evidence to back up this nonsensical drivel you are spouting?


I mean you are either blatantly trolling or you are a pathological liar. Those are the only two options.


Keeping hamas in power brings us back to the status quo oct 6 except that Israel is now vigilant and doesn't allow any hamas workers to earn a living wage in Israel

Awful for everyone

It means all these people died in vain
