Are they gonna keep up this nonsense when the videos of mass murdered Palestinian children start coming out?

May not if you have videos of IDF soldiers desecrating bodies and parading naked people. But given how hard you guys deflect that, they may not care anymore

I do think I come to era for laughs, so I appreciate everyone's humor

People on this site are funnier and a LOT more clever than the average Joe. I sometimes feel really inadequate when I even try

[Boredfrom]

Seeing more and more people cheering these bombings. There must be something truly broken inside of you if you're still supporting Israel's actions at this point.

 

I don't understand how even anodyne but morally correct commentary like: "Civilians should be safeguarded; no babies should die" is not the predominant reaction. If that is considered antisemitic (or remotely, in theory, Islamophobic I guess?), we're all lost. How is that not the absolute baseline?

Did you read that thread, or that user post history for that matter?

The cynic in me thinks somebody at discord ask him to do that thread.

[malfoyking]

I gotta be honest, some of these tweets I've seen from the people in Gaza. The ones posting their farewells, UN workers being killed, the lack of water and electricity, a hospital with neo-natal care that only has like 3 or 4 days left of electricity. It's not sitting right with me.

None of this shit should be sitting right with anyone. It's all just a fucking shambles and has been for decades. Fuck the lot of them. Turn the whole area into radioactive glass.

[Orange Juice Box]

They removed the goblin person of gender's post from the boomer shooter thread. I guess a shit-eating ex-Nazi is a bit too much, even for reeeeee.

Of course not. It shouldn't. The Israel government it's also responsable for this shit show. But people like the ones at RE dont help when they deflected hard on Hamas actions.

A very chicken coward “both sides” because the dude he quoted was hardcore deflecting for Hamas.

Just don’t want to admit their social group is not much better.

[HaughtyFrank]

Saw Fox News, i24, etc. "reporting" on finding ISIS flags left behind by Hamas and this is such a grossly transparent attempt to drum up outrage. Like "Blacks rule"-level of obvious set-up. Truly manufactoring consent in real time.

Yeah... That's what is going to drum up outrage over Hamas. ISIS flags...

In fact this is so absurd they must have been planted there!

Isreal should in fact be condemned for all of that. There's way too many people in this whole debate who are upset by one atrocity while excusing another

somehow things feel significantly worse now than when i checked in just a few hours ago. idf mirroring the hamas playbook and being utterly irredeemable scum. and the ground invasion hasn't even started yet!

You say this as if this hasn't always been the nature of the idf

Then why you are offended by "planted" ISIS flags?

You know both are scum, but somehow you have a stronger reaction with that shit.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

all of your opinions are wrong about marvel.

There's nothing greater than the MCU.

Netanyahu is a scumbag but he probably also benefits when people act like anti Semitic idiots worldwide.

Like, you can just look up Hamas on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas

It's almost as old as many of the prominent members on ResetERA.com. It has a well known history, it's the local spin-off of one of the most important organizations in the region of the last century. "Manufactoring consent"

[benji]

I think they really struggle with the concept that you don't have to take sides in a conflict.

[books]

I knew Marvel was suspect when they had Iron Man blowing up all the oppressed brown folks. I should have known because Robert Downey ((Jr.))

Seriously though, their viewpoints are so paternal, removing any sort of agency from Hamas. Well, they have NO choice but to kill kids. They make excuses for everyone (even rapists wanting to stayvin a womens prison?!) except white people and white adjacent Asian folks. It's truly insulting.

[benji]

They remove the agency from anyone they don't consider the "winner" of everything. Men "won" life so women usually have no agency in their threads. Repeat for every black-and-white narrative challenging division of oppressor/oppressed they can articulate. (And even ones they can't.)

I'd argue they do it because it justifies them making decisions for everyone in those populations they've removed agency from.

[Uncle]

The fact they aren't arguing that 40 children weren't murdered by terrorists but instead arguing the details of beheaded vs not beheaded really says where their mindset is. Deplorable.

genuinely I think the community note was made with this in mind, it's a perfect Norm joke

it's because they've spent a decade writing bOtH sIdEs until they were no longer able to accept that any situation might indeed be able to support this take

yes both sides have done horrible things

yes civilians should be protected from atrocities on both sides

no it is not your responsibility to perform a precise calculus and say "57.8% of the problem is Palestine's responsibility therefore as the majority troublemaker I must side fully against them"

[Uncle]

I appreciate this idea that having been christened a Jr. contributes to one's overall Jewishness

[Water Enjoyer]

The "power plus X" mentality, like racism is power + bigotry, leads to this fucked up ends justify the means mindset where they think you should have the right to do whatever you want to someone so long as you have more accumulated grievances against them than they you, and in most cases they consider the well poisoned and the power dynamic permanently tilted so the idea of "going too far" induces mental turmoil

The issue is that what I described is closer to a game mechanic in Civilization than a stable and coherent worldview

[Chumbawumbafan69]

This is what happens when you base your morals on Marvel movies. There has to be a good guy and a bad guy in every conflict.

And Chinese folks have been racist against black folks for over two thousand years because their phonetics make words racist.

There’s a line in the second Captain America movie— which is pretty good. It’s one of the good ones. Why does saying that sound racist. Anyway, during the stock ending cgi action scenes, the robot bird guy asks captain America “how can we tell the good guys from the bad?” and the guy wearing an American flag costume responds “the people shooting at us are the bad guys! Kill them!”

I agree.

The harsh reality, though, is that we can only really be saying this from the comfort of our safe homes. Morals are a lot easier to hold onto when your neighbors aren't being beheaded with a garden hoe.

The cold truth is that wars will always kill innocents, and the morality of war is more a matter of "how" and "how many."

With regard to human shields, if leaving a building intact will eventually lead to 10 of your kids being killed, you're choosing between their kids and your kids, and you're possibly justified in choosing your kids. I don't think you can allow human shields to neuter you and force you to let your families be slaughtered with no recourse.

However, where I think Israel has gone way wrong here is both in the "how" and the "how many." Cutting off water to 1 million children is both inhumane and counterproductive. The brutality of the attacks has garnered way more support for Israel than they've had in recent years, and yet they're about to squander that support by genociding 2 million citizens as punishment for 1000-2000 of their own citizens. The numbers are way out of proportion, as is the method.

As gross as it sounds, killing a dozen human shields in a missile attack to kill a dozen terrorists is the far less unjustified action than the cutting off of water. The latter sounds more palatable, but it's really not, not even close.

[Nintex]

Do not fall into the trap of the imaginary genocide. Israel has ordered the evacuation of Gaza city, Hamas says its fake news.

Hamas has proudly published videos digging up the water pipes and using them to craft rockets. It really doesn't matter what Israel does. Hamas must be destroyed like ISIS.

The "day of rage" has begun, stay safe everyone

[Snoopy]

A ree is larping as IDF -

My experience in the IDF, actually seeing how tactical decisions are made during combat, says otherwise. I deeply apologize we aren't able to do better. We could use a hand if you'd like to help with that.
