What? You’re saying there were no settlements before Netanyahu? |
As a muslim totally agree that terrorist acts in the name of my religion are vile and should be persecuted to the full extent of the law. For the same reasons I think that what the Israeli government is doing, engaging in terrorism in the name of their religion, stating Amalek and calling for the genocide of Palestinians while engaging in their genocide is vile and should be persecuted to the full extent of the law. I am opposed to religious extremism in all forms. |
There are plenty videos of the IDF and regular Israelis doing so. Some of them take out cameras, drinks, and snacks and celebrate and record from rooftop balconies in Israel and say they’re watching the beautiful fireworks into Gaza. Funnily enough I remember hearing a similar same thing happened in New Jersey 23 years ago from a rooftop where “ recording history” and celebrating was going on. |
You mean the celebrating in the streets of Gaza on 9/11/2001? |

So Israel actually used their own people as human shields ? What kinda army is this that still can’t even protect their people and left many to die or fight for themselves on 10/7? The IDF is such a paper tiger . The truth always comes out after a while with Israel. Eventually, they will finally admit they did blow up that hospital or its parking lot after making the Nytimes and everyone else retract. Watch It may be five years from now or five months but this always happens. They lie , then deny, then after everyone stops caring finally admit to it |
- said the person who’s religion has, as a pillar of its faith, “holy war” (jihad). I’m gonna go with Judaism is a whole lot more peaceful of a religion than Islam. |
The Bolsheviks killed thirteen million in Russia . All Jews. Killed all Christians |
All atheists. What does Russian revolution have to do with religion? Dumbass comment |

the pillars of islam are as follows:
-Acknowledgement that there is One God and Muhammad is His Prophet (same god as Abraham, same as god that Jews believe in) -Praying specific prayers 5 times a Day -Fasting during the lunar month of Ramadan - wealth tax, 1/16 of wealth held for over the space of a year - If one is able, a trip to the Kaaba. Jihad doesnt mean holy war, it means struggle- Catholics in the Middle Ages had a concept called holy war, referred to as a "Crusade". no one else does actually. Judaism actually has been a peaceful religion ever since the destruction of the temple and expulsion from the Middle East, jews in the Middle East were rather violent both before the expulsion and after their return. When they were strangers in a strange land for 2 millennia they suffered extreme violence in Europe, no violence in the Near and Middle East until about the 1000s. There was a brief respite from violence in Al Andalus in Spain but then the ones who weren't rescued by the ottoman sultans were also subject to violence both in morocco when the sultanate changed and obviously from bloody psycho killer Isabella and her good buddy Torquemada the blood thirsty sadist. I think we can safely say that Catholics from Constantine through Leopold were the most blood thirsty and evil religious group and it doesn't really have anything to do with their present day religious doctrine since today most Catholics are quite nice people- even the pro birthers, at. least catholics are consistant, they support social welfare policies and are against capital punishment. Buddhists in Thailand and Sri Lanka are rather vile and violent and blood thirsty as well. Every religion can be used to perpetuate violence, thats the power of it and why the powerful want to keep the masses in thrall to their religion instead of allowing freedom of conscience b/c it leads to people abandoning the violence like the Catholics did for the most part. There was massive amounts of violence in Northern Ireland for centuries , all due to Church of England - ostensibly the most meek and mild of religions. Obviously ppl who are recovering from colonization and asserting ownership over their own resources are going to use whatever method of recruitment they can and religion is a powerful mind control tool. Seriously- the Unionists are super violent and they belong to the same religion as Miss Marple! |

Honestly my assessment is that religion causes more harm than good.
And my position is that Hamas on20/7 committed horrific acts. But the IDF has more retaliated. |
You didn't address the question. The answer is, NO, IDF is not going around decapitating people in the name of Jewish religion. Really quite telling that you couldn't admit that basic truth. We know that Hamas inflates the numbers and exaggerates. We also know that per at least one source 7,000 of the people killed were Hamas fighters. But that said, how many would it have been if Hamas hadn't launched a brutal rampaging massacre of civilians, killing women and children? Had Hamas not done that, a lot more Palestinians would be alive today. Accept that Hamas has the bulk of the responsibility in this. Lives could have been spared, but Hamas chose to waste Palestinian civilian lives by hiding behind them. Also quite telling that you refuse to acknowledge this as well. You can't move on to presuming to talk about Israel without first acknowledging those truths and those key parts of the chain of events. |
Yes, they retaliated against Hamas. And why wouldn't they? It seems bizarre that some of the posters here are angry or bewildered, or think it's somehow unfair that Israel retaliated. What did they THINK would happen? And there are some who say "oh but there should have been negotiation" - like sure, Israel is going to walk up behind a crazed Hamas fighter as he's swinging a machete at a family and gently tap him on his blood soaked shoulder and say "um, guys, can we talk about this?" Please. Some of the posters here are either too wrapped up in their own myopic, one-sided BS and/or not grounded in reality and it shows. |

Houthis repeatedly attack US interests.
US finally responds. And anti-US protesters gather in NYC to support the Houthis??? I’m starting to wonder about our immigration policies. |

“Outside the United Nations, Nerdeen Kiswani, founder of the pro-Palestinian organization Within Our Lifetime, claimed, “The Yemeni people and the Palestinian people are the only free people because we resist by any means necessary.”
“We have no faith in your courts, your institutions, your governments. The United States, the United Kingdom, all puppet Arab Zionist normalizing regimes…We only have faith in the resistance,” she said.” Nice people, these protesters. |
They are not afraid. It's scary. |
