What are you going on about? Are you just flooding this thread with vaguely anti-Israel nonsense to bury discussion about Hamas brutality and Palestinians' strategic embrace of terrorist violence?

The current discussion seems to be, any criticism of Israel’s conduct of the war, and the U.S.’ support thereof, is “pro-Hamas”.

So does that mean posters believe the vast majority of countries of the world are now pro-Hamas? Even the ones who supported Israel in October?

If you aren't trying to defeat Hamas, you are supporting Hamas.

Literally EVERYONE exchanging thoughts here is supportive of defeating Hamas.

The entire essence of the debate is (1) how to go about achieving that goal (either with regard for the human rights of the innocent civilians [the critics of Israel’s actions] or disregard for human life [the ride or die Zionists who want to defend Israel or obliterate the debate if that defense falls flat]), and then (2) marveling at how truly corrupt and unabashed many Zionists can be in defending the actions of the State of Israel, no matter how inhumane and bloodthirsty for revenge (while feigning shock and outrage that any other group could be allowed to resort to actions that are bloodthirsty for revenge).

if the concern was about the immediate safety of the people that would show in the approach taken--you all focusing on the long game of turning Israel into a villian are not showing care for the immediate safety of Gazans
TODAY-Hamas can surreder. Protest in the streets about that. Protest in front of Hamas's leaders. Instead you protest in front of Austin's house to play the long game in a land dispute.

You are spinning this, but the dog just don’t hunt. America has zero control over the decisions Hamas leadership are making right now. You know that. America SHOULD have nearly complete control over the decisions Israel is making right now, considering the nature of our support.

But since the status quo is your fallback position after you exhaust your “more, more, more for Israel!” pleas, you ensure gridlock by pretending that I can influence Hamas, or that the U.S. can influence Hamas. You just say it to cloud the discussion, and it’s frankly pathetic. Do you sincerely think you’re fooling anyone?

I imagine that this rope-a-dope BS worked to bamboozle ppl in the past, but those days are over.

Your strawman has reached the outer limits of absurdity.

Your ability to influence (or lack thereof) is most emphatically not at issue.

But if it were, of course you have the ability to influence Hamas.

All you need to do is support US politicians committed to massive military aid to Israel and a policy of aggressive containment towards Iran.

Trust me: Hamas will feel the influence.

Can we return to regularly scheduled programming now?

The days of outsmarting unsuspecting or sympathetic post-WWII rubes and convincing others to do the costly bidding are over. Go cry victim to someone else. America has been exploited by Israel enough already.

As for the “trust me” part: Wow, that is astounding. I would sooner trust just about anyone else in this world than trust someone who believes what you believe, that the answer to this never ending disaster of a concept (Zionism) is to send even more aid, “massive military aid to Israel”. You are insane. No thanks, check please.

So you don’t believe that Israel, a state duly established and constituted by the United Nations, should exist.

I agree: that’s the end of the conversation.

Of course, Israel has a right to exist as a sovereign nation but they gotta do that on their own dime, which is how every single nation in the world exists. What Israel does not have the right to is subsidies provided by U.S taxpayers, if they can’t exist on their own then they need to come up with another plan. Days of buying American politicians will be over soon.

The don't "gotta" do anyting. Why? Really, why do they "gotta" do this? What is the requirement? Nations have allyships, partnerships of all sorts. Sell things to each other, sell intelligence, etc. Even ancient Egypt did this.

Do you mean the U.S? Because Israel isn’t a U.S ally. The term has an actual definition.

Good grief. The antisemitism …. All these Jews “Outsmarting unsuspecting WWII rubes”? Wow. Is that how you characterize Jews who actually survived the Holocaust?

-If you disagree with IDF killing 22,000 people in retaliation for 1,000 = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing hopsitals = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF indscriminate bombing = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing churches/mosques = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing schools = anitsemite
-If you disagree with IDF illegally using chemical weapons = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF snipers shooting sheltering women in churches = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF murdering surrendering hostages = antisemite
-If you disagree with Israel using collective punishment = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing refugee camps = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF targeting ambulances and medical staff = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF targeting journalists = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing places they instructed palestinians to evacute to = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF murdering surrendering israeli hostages = antisemite

It's so hard to tell which are the terrorists anymore honestly. How is this the most "moral" army in the world?

if the concern was about the immediate safety of the people that would show in the approach taken--you all focusing on the long game of turning Israel into a villian are not showing care for the immediate safety of Gazans
TODAY-Hamas can surreder. Protest in the streets about that. Protest in front of Hamas's leaders. Instead you protest in front of Austin's house to play the long game in a land dispute.

You are spinning this, but the dog just don’t hunt. America has zero control over the decisions Hamas leadership are making right now. You know that. America SHOULD have nearly complete control over the decisions Israel is making right now, considering the nature of our support.

But since the status quo is your fallback position after you exhaust your “more, more, more for Israel!” pleas, you ensure gridlock by pretending that I can influence Hamas, or that the U.S. can influence Hamas. You just say it to cloud the discussion, and it’s frankly pathetic. Do you sincerely think you’re fooling anyone?

I imagine that this rope-a-dope BS worked to bamboozle ppl in the past, but those days are over.

Your strawman has reached the outer limits of absurdity.

Your ability to influence (or lack thereof) is most emphatically not at issue.

But if it were, of course you have the ability to influence Hamas.

All you need to do is support US politicians committed to massive military aid to Israel and a policy of aggressive containment towards Iran.

Trust me: Hamas will feel the influence.

Can we return to regularly scheduled programming now?

The days of outsmarting unsuspecting or sympathetic post-WWII rubes and convincing others to do the costly bidding are over. Go cry victim to someone else. America has been exploited by Israel enough already.

As for the “trust me” part: Wow, that is astounding. I would sooner trust just about anyone else in this world than trust someone who believes what you believe, that the answer to this never ending disaster of a concept (Zionism) is to send even more aid, “massive military aid to Israel”. You are insane. No thanks, check please.

So you don’t believe that Israel, a state duly established and constituted by the United Nations, should exist.

I agree: that’s the end of the conversation.

Of course, Israel has a right to exist as a sovereign nation but they gotta do that on their own dime, which is how every single nation in the world exists. What Israel does not have the right to is subsidies provided by U.S taxpayers, if they can’t exist on their own then they need to come up with another plan. Days of buying American politicians will be over soon.

The don't "gotta" do anyting. Why? Really, why do they "gotta" do this? What is the requirement? Nations have allyships, partnerships of all sorts. Sell things to each other, sell intelligence, etc. Even ancient Egypt did this.

Then why is Hamas castigated over their alliance with Iran? Allies gotta ally.

Yes, then why do you care that Israel has allies?

Do you mean the U.S? Because Israel isn’t a U.S ally. The term has an actual definition.

OK...why do you care that Israel has allies?

It depends who you mean. Who are Israel’s allies?

If you mean the U.S. I care because my tax dollars should support war crimes. If you mean Germany it doesn’t bother me in the slightest— but then again Germany has also called for a ceasefire so I wouldn’t give too much credence to the idea that Israel has meaningful allies…

What are you going on about? Are you just flooding this thread with vaguely anti-Israel nonsense to bury discussion about Hamas brutality and Palestinians' strategic embrace of terrorist violence?

The current discussion seems to be, any criticism of Israel’s conduct of the war, and the U.S.’ support thereof, is “pro-Hamas”.

So does that mean posters believe the vast majority of countries of the world are now pro-Hamas? Even the ones who supported Israel in October?

Israel doesn't share your concern. Back to you idea that countries should support themselves on the world stage, there is not reason that is a given. No country needs to "fight like a man" and not seek assistance as it deems appropriate.

If I was Iranian, I would feel free to have an opinion on whether it's wise for my country to ally with Hamas.

And as an American, I feel similarly free to have an opinion on who we should and should not ally with.

I’m not the “fight like a man” poster.

And… you’re wrong. Israel shares my concern about their allies. That’s why they’re in a huge flap at the UN trying to convince people to abstain on resolutions that call for the release of hostages.

Good grief. The antisemitism …. All these Jews “Outsmarting unsuspecting WWII rubes”? Wow. Is that how you characterize Jews who actually survived the Holocaust?

-If you disagree with IDF killing 22,000 people in retaliation for 1,000 = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing hopsitals = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF indscriminate bombing = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing churches/mosques = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing schools = anitsemite
-If you disagree with IDF illegally using chemical weapons = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF snipers shooting sheltering women in churches = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF murdering surrendering hostages = antisemite
-If you disagree with Israel using collective punishment = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing refugee camps = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF targeting ambulances and medical staff = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF targeting journalists = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing places they instructed palestinians to evacute to = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF murdering surrendering israeli hostages = antisemite

It's so hard to tell which are the terrorists anymore honestly. How is this the most "moral" army in the world?

Way to exaggerate to try to make an obvious point - people are afraid of being labeled as anti-semites, just the same way people were afraid of saying the wrong thing with the BLM movement.

But if you decide that you are super angry and upset about Palestinians dying in Gaza, but weren’t upset about the atrocities of October 7, and you weren’t upset about Palestinians being killed in Syria. . . Don’t you think that might have something to do with anti-semitism? Or perhaps you’ve just been brainwashed by the virtue signaling and liberalistic influencers who always focus on oppressed and oppressors?

I wish people spoke more about Hamas in these arguments. Hamas is the enemy of the Palestinians. Palestinians would have their own state but their government would never agree to a two state solution.

I was upset about the atrocities of 10/7. 100%.

But I don't agree with what Israel and the idf is doing in retaliation. I'm allowed to think both sides are committing war crimes and that both sides are in the wrong here.

But since the status quo is your fallback position after you exhaust your “more, more, more for Israel!” pleas, you ensure gridlock by pretending that I can influence Hamas, or that the U.S. can influence Hamas. You just say it to cloud the discussion, and it’s frankly pathetic. Do you sincerely think you’re fooling anyone?

I imagine that this rope-a-dope BS worked to bamboozle ppl in the past, but those days are over.

Your strawman has reached the outer limits of absurdity.

Your ability to influence (or lack thereof) is most emphatically not at issue.

But if it were, of course you have the ability to influence Hamas.

All you need to do is support US politicians committed to massive military aid to Israel and a policy of aggressive containment towards Iran.

Trust me: Hamas will feel the influence.

Can we return to regularly scheduled programming now?

The days of outsmarting unsuspecting or sympathetic post-WWII rubes and convincing others to do the costly bidding are over. Go cry victim to someone else. America has been exploited by Israel enough already.

As for the “trust me” part: Wow, that is astounding. I would sooner trust just about anyone else in this world than trust someone who believes what you believe, that the answer to this never ending disaster of a concept (Zionism) is to send even more aid, “massive military aid to Israel”. You are insane. No thanks, check please.

Good grief. The antisemitism …. All these Jews “Outsmarting unsuspecting WWII rubes”? Wow. Is that how you characterize Jews who actually survived the Holocaust?

-If you disagree with IDF killing 22,000 people in retaliation for 1,000 = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing hopsitals = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF indscriminate bombing = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing churches/mosques = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing schools = anitsemite
-If you disagree with IDF illegally using chemical weapons = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF snipers shooting sheltering women in churches = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF murdering surrendering hostages = antisemite
-If you disagree with Israel using collective punishment = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing refugee camps = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF targeting ambulances and medical staff = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF targeting journalists = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF bombing places they instructed palestinians to evacute to = antisemite
-If you disagree with IDF murdering surrendering israeli hostages = antisemite

It's so hard to tell which are the terrorists anymore honestly. How is this the most "moral" army in the world?

Never mind that half of your assertions about the IDF are completely false and unsubstantiated (no, claims by Hamas don’t count).

Are you suggesting that the poster above is justified in their antisemitism? Characterizing Holocaust survivors as swindlers?

So you deflect your antisemitism with antisemitism. Got it.

What are you going on about? Are you just flooding this thread with vaguely anti-Israel nonsense to bury discussion about Hamas brutality and Palestinians' strategic embrace of terrorist violence?

The current discussion seems to be, any criticism of Israel’s conduct of the war, and the U.S.’ support thereof, is “pro-Hamas”.

So does that mean posters believe the vast majority of countries of the world are now pro-Hamas? Even the ones who supported Israel in October?

If you aren't trying to defeat Hamas, you are supporting Hamas.

Literally EVERYONE exchanging thoughts here is supportive of defeating Hamas.

The entire essence of the debate is (1) how to go about achieving that goal (either with regard for the human rights of the innocent civilians [the critics of Israel’s actions] or disregard for human life [the ride or die Zionists who want to defend Israel or obliterate the debate if that defense falls flat]), and then (2) marveling at how truly corrupt and unabashed many Zionists can be in defending the actions of the State of Israel, no matter how inhumane and bloodthirsty for revenge (while feigning shock and outrage that any other group could be allowed to resort to actions that are bloodthirsty for revenge).

if the concern was about the immediate safety of the people that would show in the approach taken--you all focusing on the long game of turning Israel into a villian are not showing care for the immediate safety of Gazans

Way to exaggerate to try to make an obvious point - people are afraid of being labeled as anti-semites, just the same way people were afraid of saying the wrong thing with the BLM movement.

But if you decide that you are super angry and upset about Palestinians dying in Gaza, but weren’t upset about the atrocities of October 7, and you weren’t upset about Palestinians being killed in Syria. . . Don’t you think that might have something to do with anti-semitism? Or perhaps you’ve just been brainwashed by the virtue signaling and liberalistic influencers who always focus on oppressed and oppressors?

I wish people spoke more about Hamas in these arguments. Hamas is the enemy of the Palestinians. Palestinians would have their own state but their government would never agree to a two state solution.

We know you would rather talk about Hamas than the conduct of the IDF. But that breaks down very quickly when someone agrees with you Hamas is a problem, agrees they should release the hostages and still doesn’t support the conduct of the IDF. Then when asked what people should do to communicate their disapproval of Hamas…we’re told the answer is vote Republican.
