[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]
Sorry, I meant Gaza ghetto.
He asked about the number of dead terrorists, not total number.
As tens of thousands of women and children have been murdered by the repulsive state of Israel it's safe to assume that the number of dead terrorists is much lower.
Do you believe Hamas has any interest in reducing civilian casualties??
I just clocked the aftermath of an anti-israel protest against barclays bank in bristol.

Only the government, opposition, media and racists support ethnic cleansing here.
Barclays bank branches across the UK have been covered in red paint and had windows smashed as part of protests by a pro-Palestine group.
Up to 20 buildings across England and Scotland have been targeted, according to the group Palestine Action.
It said the protests were carried out to "demand the bank divests from Israel's weapons trade and fossil fuels".
Good. Guess that's terrorism, folks!
Interesting development:
The "journalist" who hold the hostages at home, was a full time employee of an american NGO ("Palestine Chronicle").
That NGO has been busy trying to edit its pages to hide this very important element, changing the role of the "journalist" to that of "contributor".
But people in this twitter thread have the receipts.

What's the legal implication for that american NGO? is it fine to have terrorists who keep hostages among your employees? no legal liability?
As for everyone else, if you donate to a western NGO that has employees in Gaza, you might be directly sponsoring acts of terrors.
Every US tax payer has been "sponsoring" acts of terror abroad for decades.
can confirm that the barclays app still works, thank god

Well, the US govt has been the main funder of Palestinian terrorism, through UN and private charity organizations, since the days of Arafat. So nothing new there.
afaik Hamas hasn't the tools to break even whatsapp encryption.
And we have a word for that, it's called omertà, what helped mafiosos for a long time

No i don't justify people for not ratting out especially in the age of information when it is exceptionally easy to communicate facts to third parties without no one ever knowing you did it.
Please
My friend, l will tell you where Hamas is, give me your IG.
Hell no, the guy is being taken in right there. To get consistent information like this takes time to build trust. Locals are not going to just be lining up to talk to IDF soldiers.
DiamondsOnMyNeck, please take a break from this thread until further notice. Please do not disregard this message. Thank you.
Information is still coming in, but it looks like no one contested the Israeli commandos when they rescued the woman, and there was no casualties. But when rescuing the 3 men, the "journalist" and his family, and later other "civilians" contested the rescue, to the point the Israeli's vehicle was disabled by gunfire, and air cover was brought in.
So once again we see Palestinians militants (not even sure if they were Hamas or not) electing to have a gunfight in the middle of a crowded city, causing a tremendous amount of collateral damage.
I really dont think it can be emphasized enough how completely irresponsible and negligent Palestinian militants, including but not limited to Hamas, have acted since October 7th; and how they are directly responsible for so much misery, death and destruction.
And it is insane that so many western progressives and most of the Ummah thinks the solution is to keep these people in charge, and keep writing them blank checks to continue the resistance.
A ceasefire benefits the terrorists and allows them to regroup. The best thing for everyone right now is to let Israel complete it's mission of destroying Hamas and getting the hostages back.
A ceasefire is like a couple who were in a toxic relationship and now broken up getting back together to give it another shot. It's just prolonging the inevitable. It's just gonna cause more pain.
Back in December 153 member states of the UN voted for an immediate ceasefire.
That's a large majority of the countries in the world supporting terrorism, according to some people here.
It's better to fight it over there than over here. Unfortunately, as we have seen recently, many of them have entered the country already. We see Europe finally going to far right governments to fight what's going on over there. The US needs Trump back in the house to take care of this nonsense. He tried to do it before and was called a xenophobe.

These countries are under pressure from their ignorant woke citizens. It's all about what's in their best interest politically. they don't care about the safety of Israel.
Also, many of these countries are Muslim. They obviously will be voting for a ceasefire.

It's not better but it is more cowardly of the US. it's also completely self-defeating.

Yes, many countries support anti-Israeli terrorism, which is why the UN itself can be defined a sponsor of terror.
The UNRWA itself is the main income source for Palestinian terrorists and has been for a long while (like 10x what Iran gives Hamas).

I'm having trouble squaring these statements.
All I'm getting is
153 countries voted for an immediate ceasefire because of their woke citizens and many of these countries are Muslim (though not the European countries who have moved to the right).
Is your thesis that Muslim countries are woke and European countries are unwoke?
Just a night with a lot of broken glass to protest the dirty rotten Jews. No biggie.
Don't conflate attacks on supporters of the Israeli government's actions with attacks on Jewish people or culture, especially when it's an institution like Barclays whose French office collaborated with the Nazis during WW2 and which was an important supporter of apartheid in South Africa.
