[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]
As a reminder, replacement theories as well as assertions that either side does not love their children or are having children for the sole purpose of martyring them are not acceptable talking points for this thread, and will be moderated as violations of the bigotry and racism rule.
But if not for the sole purpose then it’s ok ?
I am sure under Hamas great leadership and foresight, the next few generations of Gaza children will have a great future and prospects, just as the ones before have had. And Hezbollah and Iran joining the fray will just make the future that much brighter.
#Winning
Hamas did not rip the jaw off that poor girl today. (she seemed very alive and aware of what was going on. for now at least.) they didnt torture a father to death to compel his son to turn himself in. (tell me more about hostages lol hypocrites). they didnt cut out organs from a man and send him back to his town for him to die an agonizing death. (colonialists love to steal). they didnt behead a baby. (one of many I have seen). they didnt burn alive a child and hang him from a wire. (again, one of many).
these are all pictures I have seen today.
to make a value judgement. I dont think it is normal or proper to celebrate that stuff as your team winning.
Hamas has nothing to do with those mangled kids.
but it seems that you think your team is winning by doing this. well, I just happen to believe murdering a child is almost never a military victory.
Oh look. Nothing much. Just one of countless videos showing Hamas torturing and beating Palestinians in the streets. As happens whenever Israel leaves an area and they crawl out from their holes. Unlike all the Israeli bad behavior that somehow is never recorded, and all we get is clear photoshopped pictures after the fact telling us what happened and "eyewitness reports."
Yes, The Palestinian people should look forward to a great, peaceful future with these guys remaining in charge.
if only they werent starving or if only there was a police and justice system.
these guys got off a lot easier than the people looking for food and supplies in the aftermath of Katrina fwiw.
ofc thats taking your tweet from a very questionable account at face value. in fact we have no idea who any of these people are or why some are beating others.

We actually dont know that is all that happened to the people and whether they got off "lucky" by only being beaten. Who knows what happened after the video cut off. A lot of reports of Palestinians being shot/killed by Hamas when they re-assert control over an area.
And you are right. I turned the volume up and looked closer, and in retrospect it sounds like they are speaking Japanese and that is Tokyo in the background. Maybe some sort of Yakuza syndicate in action.
How do you know its Hamas? How do you know they were just stealing food?
I dont "know" all the details. But I know something happened that matches the description, because there is clearly unaltered video.
Unlike building an entire worldview around a bunch of photoshopped pictures from paid propagandists.
every accusation is a confession
no I dont think the Gazans are doing (plausible) genocide and a war of extermination. they arent starving people and killing children. weird how my accusations are based on facts and logic whereas the Israeli Hasbara is based entirely on fantasy.

"The Gazans" covers a lot of ground. But for specifically Hamas, genocide and a war of extermination is their stated goal. They haven't quite worked out how to get there. But 10/7 and their current strategy of using Palestinian children as human shields is a pretty good indication of how everything is on the table.
no that is not their stated goal. you should use better sources.
reminder that hamas' goal is the extermination and/or forced deportation of all jews in the 'holy land'
weird bc they dont say anything like that. its almost like the Hasbara is fabricating a reason to do a (plausible) genocide.
anyway, another day, another 10 invaders just got liquidated in a single event according to Qassam. Israeli media has admitted to 5.
Wow those mothers are such horrible people.
We're starving and under attack constantly, what's a good idea?
I know, have more babies!
I thought I read the justification for all the dead babies and kids was that they're bred into terrorism, so as that's true (because I read it itt) it's obviously a good move by Palestinian women.
