Somebody tell me how this is different from lebensraum. This and the activities of illegal settlers are shameless territorial annexations.
I don’t know why you would, since Smotrich and Ben Gvir and their ilk have been documented as saying this sort of bullshit in this and other threads multiple times the last couple months. This isn’t “coming”, this has been going on all along, and we’ve been talking about it.
Anyone who tells you that Smotrich is not a Hamas or Nazi tier fanatic is lying to you. Netanyahu’s decision to prop up this monster to keep himself out of jail has been disastrous, and among his biggest crimes.
Thankfully, it looks like Smotrich isn’t long for the Knesset. His plans will certainly not be carried out.
Yeah, the far right is in panic mode, and is trying to rally its base.
It won’t work, but it will make for quite a few breathless headlines half a world away.
I’m not familiar with those posters. I don’t read all the threads on everything, but I’ve seen a lot of things in the news and popping up in non-related threads. I would not be totally surprised if Gaza citizens were encouraged to settle else where. I’m not saying that I think this is official government policy; I doubt very much it is. However, if the opportunity arises to absorb Gaza into Israel, there may probably be at least a few in power that would not hesitate. I’m not an expert, but I’ve seen the actions and attitudes of some of the government and the settlers. It isn’t pretty. Again, I’m tired of dead children all over the damn world. Including the US and our idiotic gun (non) laws.
…except for the decapitated babies that you pretend don’t exist.
And the tunnels you claim aren’t real.
And the weapons caches in hospitals that you say were all planted.
And the other rape allegations that you claim are Israeli propaganda.
And the child soldiers you claim it’s Islamophobic to acknowledge the existence of.
And Egypt’s refusal to open its border to refugees that you conveniently forget to mention while whinging about how the poor widdle terrorists have nowhere to go.
And the fact that all this could have ended months ago, and could still end today, if Hamas actually cared enough about the lives of its people to surrender, because your blame-Israel-for-everything worldview obligates you to pretend that Hamas is utterly powerless and has no agency to make any decisions on its own.
You really are the worst kind of useful idiot. You’ve fallen hook, line, and sinker for Islamist propaganda that any sensible person could’ve seen coming before Israel’s.counterstrike even started, because you let your squeamishness about the horrors of war override your rational ability to distinguish justified self-defense from a literal pogrom. I’m honestly surprised you haven’t claimed that 10/7 was a false flag. I don’t know why I even bother with you at this point and I should probably stop trying.
Dude, you’re only telling on yourself.
You posted about something absolutely horrible that happened to Israeli prisoners of Hamas. You accused everyone in the thread of being okay with it.
So when people tell you they’re not okay with it, you Pit them. Sure makes it seem like you were more interested in attacking posters than the actual horrors you described.
So, we’ve condemned what they’ve done, rather than what proven liars said they did?
Yeah, big whoop.
I mean, we all know you’ve never seen a boot you didn’t immediately want to lick, so sucking up to the genocidal IOF is very on-brand for you.
But since your utterly stale “But, Hamas!” routine isn’t working in MPSIMS to excuse IOF atrocities, you wanna throw down here?
Bring it, genocide denialist.,
I’m pitting him because his claimed denunciation of Hamas rings hollow when he constantly makes excuses for their atrocities or.outright denies that they happened, especially when the only times he mentioned this particular atrocity before now was to downplay it and accuse the Israelis of hypocrisy for complaining about it.
Here’s what you had to say the last time rape allegations got brought up.
It’s a little hard to believe you’re “condemning” something you’re so blase about. Rapes happen all the time in war, big whoop, Israel is worse anyway says the Hamas apologist. The only thing that’s changed is that now you can’t pretend Israel is making it all up when even your oh-so-authoritative UN officials are acknowledging it.
Of course but Hamas. A thousand times but Hamas. Trying to pretend that the genocidal Islamist fanatics who launched a pogrom are somehow incidental to the war and don’t have anything to do with the war Israel is fighting (when you’re not pretending that they’re innocent victims of unjustified Israeli aggression) doesn’t sound like condemnation to me.
Coming from Mr “It’s War!”, I’ll just point out your beam, motherfucker.
Being dismissive of your pathetic attempts to use rape for points is not the same as being blase about the actual rapes. Hamas and the non-Hamas Gazans who committed sexual violence in October, and since, are evil scum.
Unlike you, I don’t use the existence of evil scum to excuse greater evil. Because I’m not a bootlicker to the first fascist that comes knocking.
Yep. By a 30-to-one ratio, last I checked.
You literally just quoted me saying that. What a fucking idiot.
This has a certain … cadence. Very Biblical … or Quranic.
They don’t have anything to do with the genocide Israel is now committing (other than a convenient excuse)
Where have I ever done that? Cite or shut the fuck up, Nazi-lover.
ETA:
Oh, and since you’re suddenly now sooo enamoured of what the UN has to say, and since tu quoque is your favourite fallacy, what do you have to say about this UN sexual violence report?
Claims of Israeli sexual assault of Palestinian women are credible, UN panel says | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian.
I’d say that the CNN article I quoted says the same thing and I don’t approve of it when Israelis do it either.
About five seconds ago, when you said;
But those evil scum don’t have anything to do with why Israel is at war with them. Right.
There’s nothing evil about the pursuit of justice.
Says the man making excuses for a literal fascist regime that hasn’t allowed elections since they won one and then killed the people who dared to run against them.
The ongoing sexual abuse of innocent hostages is less evil than Israel. Got it.
That’s not what I said. Once again, in bigger letters since you’re clearly as hard-of-reading as you are hard-of-thinking:
Sniping grannies and setting up NICU babies to die is only “justice” for absolute evil scum.
I make no excuses for Hamas. They can all die in a fire for all I care, I wouldn’t piss on them.
Hamas is not all Palestinians.
Yes. Murder is worse than rape. Mass murder of innocents like babies even more so.
You could fool me.
Just 72% or so of them.
Hamas is literally more popular among Gazans than Netenyahu is among Israelis.
You’re projecting your own bootlicking tendencies, clearly.
Neat trick for 72% to literally be Hamas (which is what you’re literally saying, as opposed to the watered-down poll you posted), when more than 30% of Palestinians are under the age of 10.
Also, I suspect the % of adult Gazans who were satisfied with Hamas might have dropped somewhat since December last year…
Also, I don’t know what the non-sequitur about Bibi has to do with anything. The % Israelis satisfied with the IOF itself slightly exceeds the % in Gaza satisfied with Hamas, so the only real takeaway here is that both sides (or, at least, the adults who take part in polls) love them some génocidaires. Which we already knew. But the IOF doesn’t just target 52% of adult Gazans, any more than Hamas targeted just 56% of adult Israelis.
If you read your own cite, the poll was of people both in Gaza and the West Bank. It says that 52% of Gazans supported Hamas, while the other poll you cited has 56% of Israelis supporting Bibi’s actions.
So based on your own research, Hamas is literally not as popular in Gaza as Netanyahu is in Israel. Nice job.
Numbers can be conflated and massaged when they fit Smapti’s purpose. The UN is not an unbiased observer unless they fit Smapti’s purpose. This is a war until it fits Smapti’s purpose. Smapti’s purpose is “Hamas bad, Israel good,” and everything is filtered through that lens.
The “can you not” was in response to Crane downplaying and questioning allegations of rape committed by the October 7 terrorists.
It was dibble saying yes rape very likely was committed by hamas of their friends so “can you not” downplay and question it.
Im not convinced this is an honest misread on your part.
Kamala Harris supposedly pushes for a cease fire (5 months after the invasion of Gaza started).
On the one hand, better late than never. On the other hand, in my opinion she’s being deployed to try and whitewash the US’s support and enablement (military, economic and political) of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians, which is ongoing.
The US stopped funding UNRWA (the UN agency to aid Palestinian refugees) because 12 of its members were found to support Hamas. So did Harris say anything about refunding UNRWA? Nope.
The US just airdropped 36K ready-to-eat meals. Does this make up for their support of genocide? Nope.
Eh, she’s also meeting with Gantz behind Bibi’s back. From a realpolitik perspective, it seems like a pretty big shot across Netanyahu’s bow.
