Genocide Tendency posted:Israel is intentionally targeting Hamas, not schools. Maybe, just maybe its a tad wrong for Hamas launch teams to be using schools as their protection. And maybe, just maybe, the UN should do something about Hamas hanging around and launching rockets from its schools. Hamas openly goads Israel into shelling these places to win the media war/moral high ground, and israel obliges. Never mind the fact that they usually launch and scatter, meaning return fire has 0 chance of actually hitting anyone but innocents. Hamas is guilty for using them as shields, but Israel is guilty of falling for it like idiots. Mind you, I am not accusing Israel of being the bad guys, I am accusing them of being idiots and causing suffering for no material gain. I'm ok with causing suffering for material gain, but the means have to have an end to justify them. And the loving launchers are long gone by the time the IDF returns fire, so why the gently caress sacrifice both morals and international opinion for no military gain? I have no loving idea what the school workers busy helping the injured and consoling orphans/widows are supposed to do about Hamas rolling up, firing, and then rolling away before the return fire rolls in.  quote:I have no idea when the last time a kike strapped a bomb to his chest and blew up a market. But its probably been a while. For filthy rag heads, its been 15 minutes. I'm siding with the Jews. Suicide bombing has nothing to do with moral high ground and everything to do with a desperate lack of alternate effective modes of attack. If you think jews wouldn't be strapping bombs to their chests if that was all that stood between them and the sea, then  Israel has the luxury of high tech low risk weaponry. Palestine does not. It's the only alternative to packing their bags and leaving for "greener" pasture in the neighboring arab lands. Not fighting back ends with the settlers taking everything over and eventually incorporating the palestinian lands, or the west bank at least. Not that I'd mind that end, but the palis do, so.. And as I said, it's loving dumb of the Israelis to put the palestinians in this position with no real plan for what the next step is. Because the current plan leads nowhere productive for anyone.

Whip Slagcheek posted:No one actually likes the Palestinians, not even the other Arabs. That's why they want them to have their own country, so they go the gently caress away. Which is pretty fitting to the long arc of history since they were probably by and large Jews who converted back in the day. Israel's wartime behavior is all pretty justified by the laws of war, which contrary to the public's perceptions, actually allow you to kill a very large number of civilians as long as killing civilians wasn't your intention from the start. Missing and blowing up the wrong people is part of wartime and there is little evidence Israel tries to do it as a policy. The hosed up thing about Israel's treatment of the Palestinian happens in peacetime but that is less sexy. The whole "this large area right here, we have full rights to do whatever to the people in this area, we have territorial integrity of this area, but the people in it have no redress with us, and by the way this will go on for generations." It was normal in the early 20th century but that stopped and Israel never got the memo, borne from the twilight of colonialism. Like everyone notes absolutely no one likes the Palestinians though, except when its a convenient excuse to get mad at Israel. It's completely true that even if Israel was the nicest country on Earth, anti-Israel activists would still be enraged and demanding their destruction. Europe never got rid of antisemitism, they just got rid of Semites. In the Arab world, Israel is a convenient thing to get outraged about on state run media.

I'd be down with withdrawing all aid and support from Israel and just let the desert savages(which includes Israel) kill each other for the next 1000 years. Every single country in the Middle East is a festering poo poo hole. You know Israeli's are lunatics because they purposely immigrated to the loving Middle East of all places. All the smart Jews went to America. It would be one thing if they were actually a decent ally but they aren't. They keep selling sensitive military technology to China despite the fact that we have repeatedly told them not to over the past 30 years. They just don't loving care. gently caress the Middle East.

Yeah but I mean even the blandest person in the world has some skeletons in their closet. Maybe she called her husband a dummkopf when he forgot to pick up milk on the way home, or maybe she eats pork chops without applesauce or some other heinous abomination. Everybody has something wrong with them that can be exploited.

You think them exterminating a bunch of muslims that not even the muslim world gives a poo poo about is going to change things? Except Europe has this minor problem of muzzie youth unrest. And basically no relevant jewish political/demographic influence due to this one thing a few decades back. Key part being all those kids in the suburbs can vote now, and their kids as well. No one cares much about palestine, but they all care very much about getting reelected. loving over Israel could mean a fair bit of votes in many areas, and when has persecuting the jews not worked for boosting national unity? The three reasons this is not happening is that politically the popular reaction has been anti-muslim and benefited the extreme right wing over centrist moderates. And while feminist left wingers are very much for multiculturalism, in practice it turns out all those liberal values don't quite square with the longbeards, making any real coalition making impracticable. More relevantly on a strategical level is that while from a political/economical perspective loving Israel would not be too hard a burden, you just can't do that without making enemies of the US. And so long as the US is best friends with Israel you'll never see any relevant EU member doing anything more than limp wristed boycotts against kibbutz orange farmers.

We had to hold them back from providing help in the Gulf War, we couldn't use them in Iraq, Afghanistan. They offer nothing. They are literally the worst allies ever. Just a black hole of money and diplomatic clout with the rest of the Middle East.

EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:No time to bleed, plenty of time to be a litigious rear end in a top hat. Hey, say what you want, but slander is slander and apparently Ventura's case was good enough to sway a jury to decide in favor of him instead of a ~murdered hero~. Especially when Kyle apparently named him for publicity reasons, the suit started while the guy was alive, and his estate's got a multi-million movie deal in progress to capitalize on the same book he promoted with that publicity. It's not like he's stealing money from a widow and orphan anyway, the publisher's insurance policy will likely be paying the claim, not the estate directly.

Ventura actually had to meet a pretty high burden of proof to win that case. I'm guessing it was a combination of lovely defense witnesses and a pretty solid alibi that he wasn't in that bar or whatever.

It was also a split jury decision which is extremely rare in federal civil cases. I guess the two sides agreed to accept the decision as is rather than have to go through another trial and the associated costs.

I'm guessing it was a combination of lovely defense witnesses and a pretty solid alibi that he wasn't in that bar or whatever. I thought he acknowledged that he was in the bar and only claimed that Kyle made up some of his remarks and the fight? In any case, the jurors didn't actually reach a unanimous verdict (it was 8-2, cf. http://www.oregonlive.com/lake-oswego/index.ssf/2014/07/chris_kyle_trial_jurors_warn_t.html). Another interesting bit: quote:In his closing argument, [Ventura's lawyer] Olsen said he believe[d] Kyle's estate has earned more than $6 million from the book, and suggested that $5 million to $15 million would be reasonable compensation for what he said was irreparable harm to Ventura reputation. So yeah, they actually were trying to bankrupt a widow (unless they think the movie deal made them shitloads of money, but Ventura has dealt with Hollywood enough to know better than that). quote:U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle, who is not related to the author, told jurors they weren't charged with determining whether Ventura was punched, but rather whether he was defamed by the remarks Kyle attributed to him. Interesting jury instructions if the reporter is recounting them accurately.

This is what I don't understand about Hamas. If you want to be a legit terror organisation, your opponent has to look powerless to stop you from escalating violence against civilians. So how come there aren't huge waves of car bombings in Israel like there are in Iraq? Why rely on totally lovely missiles that no Israeli is really scared of? Is the IDF really capable of enforcing such a police state that this is impossible?

The best weapons they have to launch attacks against Israel are literally warhead-less rockets made out of metal pipes and launched by fertilizer and ammonia.
