[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]
If only we had a way to know if that was true.

I don’t think schizo posting about how Greta had an octopus in a picture (she’s autistic and uses it as a soothing technique from what I understand) is a particularly helpful direction for this thread to take.
For the record I think the vast majority of leftists that are on the Palestine side are just stupid or virtue signaling, not antisemitic. Where it gets antisemitic is when they start explicitly supporting Hamas or justifying Hamas violence or justifying Oct 7th.
Oh really, so we didn’t have a protest in DC where protestors vandalized a monument with pro-Hamas slogans? We don’t have leftists saying that armed resistance using terrorism is justified because of colonial oppression?
When you can never criticize your own side, no one takes you seriously.
I dont support Hamas. more of a PFLP guy ya kno.
I would really like to know what happened on Oct 7th tho.

and ofc I support armed resistance as specified by International Law as I would have supported Mandela and the Algerians.

Rallies are made up of a large number of individuals with varying perspectives. That the most extreme broke off and vandalized a monument doesn't indicate what the rest think.
And if by "terrorism" you mean attacks on civilians, I've never encountered such a person.

I meant to say "no one here" is supporting Hamas, and virtually all of the posters here except Vic have made it clear they don't support Hamas, but you still dishonestly try to smear every anti-genocide person with that idiocy.
I said the vast majority of leftists don’t support Hamas and somehow you took that as me saying that people here support Hamas. Are you telling on yourself?

I've actually not read anyone in here that is defending Palestine exclusively, denounce Hamas, or condemn the 10/7 massacre. I've asked people in here many times to do so... crickets.

You might need to get out more.
^^^Name someone in the U.S. if it's that common.

Enjoy a list of professors praising the violence

Quick reminder that the ADL helped apartheid south Africa spy on US activists and really just random anti-apartheid activists in the 1980s.
This guy gets it
The PM of Malaysia is probably someone you don’t want to be agreeing with, especially on a topic like this one
Oh what, as opposed to the President of the USA, the holder of the post that has committed war crimes going back decades?
the point is that the ADL is not a trustworthy organization. its not character assassination if it is true and thats only scratching the surface of their odious acts.

average zionists

we were taken out of context! to clarify: we stand by everything we said, and so does everyone other zionist
and apparently the guy on the left worked for netanyahu at some point, so it's not even like these are just two random shithead podcasters
