[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]

The Hamas Charter of 2017 defines Palestine as extending 'from the river to the sea' and as an Arab Muslim land, and denies the legitimacy of Zionism. This has obvious implications, though of course it's no worse than pro-Israelis announcing that the Arabs can all be removed from the Holy Land and stuck in the Sinai Desert -- except that the Arabs have far less military capacity for ethnic cleansing.

that says nothing about extermination of forced relocation of Jews.


a bit of good news for the side of the righteous.



by Victor P

no that is not their stated goal. you should use better sources.

Their charter seems like a good enough source to me.


by BOIDS P

reminder that hamas' goal is the extermination and/or forced deportation of all jews in the 'holy land'

many jewish people feel that zionism is terrible. I dont think they are looking for extermination of all jews in the holy land

their charter doesnt say anything like that.


How else would the entire area become Arab Muslim land?


step 1) from the river to the sea, make the rapes and murders of israeli civilians oct 7 look like a rehearsal for the main event
step 2) ??
step 3) peaceful coexistence with the jews under a palestinian flag

fortunately the wonderfully brave boys and girls of the IDF aren't so naive


glad we agree that it doesnt say that.

defeating one Hasbara lie at a time. thats what I do.

Maybe you should read it:

Or if that's too much, the wiki summary:

passage of time and chronology is hard to understand. btw, have you seen the American constitution from the 1800s?


hamas taking some overtly antisemitic language out of their lol documents a couple of years ago to fool people like pw means 0


guys guys. we gotta do a (plausible) genocide and war of extermination bc of some words from 1988. Zionism is a hell of a drug.


words that were amended I might add too


the war is about bringing to justice the people responsible for the rapes and murders of israeli civilians on oct 7, and removing their ability to achieve the proudly stated aim of doing it again but bigger

Yup, uniformed rapists and torturers are really the bravest.

no the "war" is about "exterminating" the Gazans.

we arent allowed to make comparisons or analogies here so I will just leave it there.


no, the war is about putting an end to hamas, a terrorist organisation which planned and carried out the rapes and murders of around a thousand civilians on oct 7, and whose leadership has proudly stated that they plan to commit acts which quote will make oct 7 look like a rehearsal for the main event


well Israel is losing at that bc Hamas is taking out invaders every day. they have become quite adept at killing civilians and children tho.


how many hamas terrorists have been killed by the brave boys and girls of the IDF since oct 7 iyo?


None, because there aren't any brave boys and girls of the IDF. There are however a bunch of scared conscripts and another bunch of sick rapists, murderers and child killers.


by BOIDS P

not enough to stop their resistance. in fact, they are as effective as ever.

You need to have empathy for soldiers who might want to do the right thing but are too scared to do so. Everyone in war is scared. Not everyone is a sick rapist etc etc etc.

ok how many though
