Israel-Gaza war

[Sestak]

Not to derail a fascinating thread about whether Palestinians should be able to vote in Israeli elections, but does anyone know where I can find updates on the ongoing war?

These comments are getting really annoying, far more annoying than anything you are responding to. The Palestinian POV, and everything that comes with it, is part of this conflict, idk what you guys want. Maybe start a thread where you can circle-jerk in peace I guess?

Or go to a real news source?

Oh ffs.

This is a thread documenting a current event. The point of the discussion here is to discuss and try to keep up to date on what is happening right now, and to have discussion pertaining directly to that.

The back-and forth quote pyramid arguments that have been happening in this thread are identical to arguments that have been made and fully drawn out tens of times on this forum alone -  not to mention millions of times on literally every space on the Internet. None of it is new or even remotely informed by what is currently happening; it is simply rehashing arguments that literally everyone has already seen before.

It's literally human nature. And putting that aside, it's clear that only one POV is being criticized and asked to silence themselves in the way above.

I mean I think people are asking Haley/Ryan etc. to get off this topic as well.

Look, if you want to give us a Palestinian perspective like you say, feel free to go ahead and do it. Tell us about what’s happening on the ground in Gaza. How are people anticipating an Israeli offensive? How much control of the situation does Hamas itself even have? What all is going on internally? What is the Palestinian Authority’s reaction to this? Posting stuff like this might be objectionable to some people, but it is fundamentally germane to the topic in a way that squabbling about a cassus belli simply is not.

Genocide is immoral and wrong because it kills innocent people. I don't support genocide.

so reading between the lines here, you obviously support ethnic cleansing

you think that won't kill innocent people??

Yeah, actually. Give the Gazans to Egypt. Pay for the refugee camps even but don't let Gaza continue to exist as a terrorist installation.

And if [when] Egypt says “no, f**k off”?

Hetero Men care more for women than other men they view as competitors, this is pretty consistent among patriarchal society. Hamas captors are just bargaining chips.

You know how many people, especially straights, go on Grindr just go for young twinks. You know how many go for crossdressers. Look at your own culture.

Wow, brilliant insight, PSOL! I’m glad the rest of us have an expert like you on hand to help us understand the ins and outs of the Israel-Gaza conflict.

I watched all the Jews and Muslims protest today in NYC over the Gaza/Israel border. If only all those people cared the same about our border!

Insane quote. Article paywalled unfortunately but this is the only substack worth paying for

OF COURSE snowstalker thinks the moron cityafreaks kid is some visionary genius thought leader. I should have guessed.

The deliberate killing of children and infants is horrible in any context, of course.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are compelled to say this explicitly, it might be a good time to reevaluate some things.

"Why aren't you condemning Hamas's war crimes?"
"I condemn Hamas's war crimes."
"Why did you feel the need to condemn Hamas's war crimes?"

"Why aren't you condemning Hamas's war crimes?"

”There’s no evidence war crimes were committed. ‘They’ have been known to lie about crimes committed against them before.”

One day later

”See, the sources are walking it back. ‘They’ clearly made it all up!”

One day later

”Even the President of the United States is lying about seeing photos of the victims. It’s a massive conspiracy, obviously.”

Photos of the victims are made public

”I condemn [generic description of war crimes]…
How dare you question my condemnation of [generic description of war crimes]?"

The IDF has made their claim that it was a failed IJ rocket launch. Now we see if they have any evidence for this..

[Sestak]

No side is disputing this theory that "actually the hospital was a secret disguise for rocket launchers" because no one is alleging it other than a manaic republican Talk Elections poster from Ohio.
