please stop pushing tiblur

so are we already doing the propaganda fluff pieces about how brave the Israelis are? Can we also get some about the bravery of the Palestinians in their resistance against apartheid?

I have tried arguing with the people I would categorise as ‘anti-intellectual’ more than 99% of people to ever have lived trying to understand them

this betrays a lot about your attitudes towards 99% of people and how you interact with them

Consider that the ones who aren't as enlightened as you just haven't had the privilege to get the free time, financial flexibility, and education to spend a lot of time and effort self-reflecting on their own intellectual purity. Consider also that there are many in that group who count you as anti-intellectual for your prioritization of the ideals of a squeaky clean intellectual platform over the material realities of living in the world and having to engage in conflict and contradictions.

Hoping for civilian safety on both sides, and hoping that the Palestinians are able to reclaim as much of their stolen territory as possible.

is this the same energy that you use to hound women walking alone on the street to "smile more"?

reddit atheism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

I literally said I don't worship a god. That's blasphemy. You should examine why you're so much more hung up on making your magic sky fairy reddit arguments than you are about the Palestinians getting bombed right now

Don't you think the more parsimonious explanation is that this is a war of apartheid and colonialism?

There are Muslim and Christian Israelis and Jewish and Christian Palestinians. Sure, religion plays somewhat of a role in the conflict, but this is no more of a holy war than Operation Enduring Freedom or the Russo-Ukranian war, except that you wouldn't ever accuse those of being about religion except in the context of this argument as a defense mechanism.

I don't worship a god, I just don't like seeing "barbaric savages" rhetoric in the wild. Whatever metric is being used to call them religious savages is equally applicable to America's christian fundamentalist religious savagery, except that America owns more press.

✨that's the point✨

Ah yes, the famously stopped Israel/Palestine conflict. You're right, I forgot that they had declared a ceasefire some time after the last Israeli raid on Palestine "years" ago, back in July 2023, where they sent thousands of troops, drones, and missiles into Jenin.

Calling the tactic of "executing civilians in their homes” a Hamas tactic carries a lot of water for Israel as they shoot missiles directly into apartment buildings as you type.

Because the Iron Dome, like most other products of the US military industrial complex, is more of a profit seeking venture for PMCs than it is a solution to any actual combat problem

So what you're saying is Israel has killed over 4000 Palestinians this decade, including 200 this year prior to this attack, and Palestine launches a counter-attack that leaves 40 dead, and because Palestine retaliated to initial attacks they are now the aggressor "definitionally"? Is the only way to not be labeled the aggressor to soak up every single death at the hands of apartheid in stride?

If you take 10 punches and then throw 1, you are not the aggressor and for anyone to suggest such is for them to side with the aggressor.

Not to mention, I'm having a hard time imagining someone saying "[Israel has] rarely been the inciter in large-scale armed conflicts" while simultaneously looking at the map of Israel carving up the Palestinian homeland to shreds.

more and more creative ways to employ racist "backwards savages" rhetoric every day. These people are no more religious than America's top brass, their mission is no more religious than America's manifest destiny, and their war crimes are no more religiously motivated than those of US troops.

Is there a way that a nation can use the same means their oppressor uses to perpetuate apartheid for the purposes of resisting apartheid and not be labeled as "terrorist"?

as usual, the Palestinian death toll is now at least 5 times higher than the Israeli death toll and Israel isn't done yet

Don't lose sight of who the aggressor is.

This is the better way to write the law of course, but the ham-fisted way it's proposed by Rishi would look more like what I wrote, because he said specifically that the age should rise one year every year.
