People. I'm sorry to be blunt, and no, I'm not racist or trying to be "OH LOOK, JEWS". Look, Israel is wrong about what they're doing to Palestine and hamas, and they, just today, just shot rockets that killed people for no loving reason. Again. Could you knock it off, Israel? And pretend that every time you do this poo poo that it's an attack on your personage? Because it isn't.

If the Palestinians accepted any of the peace proposals that were put on the table in the last however many years they would be in complete control of their territory and lives. Let me know when they’re ready to do that. lol which one? Name it. Also name one that includes "Israel not taking more Palestinian land or just flat out killing Palestinians for the gently caress of it"

squid pro quo posted:Nah, it’s more like take this deal because your dream of driving the Jews into the sea and taking 100% of the land is a fantasy. So take the land that you have, build a country, and live your life. Or don’t, and keep fighting forever. are you aware of your country and what you're doing to the Palestinians or just making poo poo up as you go?

squid pro quo posted:600 rockets launched in the past 24 hours. If you’re going to shoot at my country, we’re going to shoot back, just like any other country would to protect its population. Just out of curiosity, how many Israelis died from these 600 rockets in the last 24 hours? How many Palestinians have the Israelis killed? Hint: it's 30 to 3 in favor of the Israelis, good shooting

Nuts and Gum posted:So both sides think they’re promised holy land by a deity, but one side occupies it and has the biggest stick. The other side essentially lost the battle but keeps throwing whatever they can find at the guy with the bigger stick and then acts surprised when they fight back. So, no. Pretty much. No.

pro starcraft loser posted:Oh are you Israeli? It's not really about land or space to live at this point. What it does is give Israel a unifying entity to rally against. It's easy for their government to rally their people and get global support if they can point to Palestine and say "oh no, terrorists again" despite overwhelmingly outmatching them economically and militarily

That is... Not a preferable option, and Iran could actually pose a threat to Israel, which is, perhaps not shockingly, something they'd like to avoid. It's convenient for them to have Palestine play this role, which is all the worse, imo

Nuts and Gum posted:I dont really understand the specifics which is why I'm asking questions. From my 1000 ft view I just saw two teams fighting, one has a bat and one has a bomb. I didn't know Palestinians were being held captive or otherwise unable to leave even if they wanted. There's 4.6 million people in Palestine. Where exactly would you have almost 5 million people GO, exactly, if they just decided "Oh, poo poo, our bad." and leave because man that'd sure just solve this issue?

spacetoaster posted:It's a pretty simple concept, but people with bad brains often have trouble with it. This is a Thing That Can't Be Said. Which is unfortunate, because it's obvious to most that Israel is acting incorrectly (to...put it mildly and very simply). However, given the fact that it is mutually beneficial to both the leadership of the US, and Israel to maintain a partnership, it is continued. For those NOT aware this creates a very bizarre conflict in logic for leadership in the US. On one hand, conservatives have always staunchly been the party from which you hear the ridiculous "Jews! Jews did it, Zionist conspiracy" bullshit you'd expect to hear from your tinfoil hat wearing crazy uncle Chet. On the OTHER hand, that party ALSO has a contingent that absolutely firmly believes that Jews/christians MUST control the Holy land in order for the End Times to approach (I am not making this up). Abandoning or relinquishing control of, say Israel or the Temple Mount to Muslims is the definition of heretical. On the THIRD hand, it has become, as a result, absolutely reflexive to simply dismiss any criticism of Israeli policies within the mainstream as absolute anti-semitic hatred. Stating that the Jewish [majority, Israeli] state is in the wrong, is to essentially announce yourself as a bigot. This, obviously, stops a lot of discourse, and makes it difficult for people to have any meaningful sense of conversation BECAUSE The party that openly embraces bigotry and racism, full scale and wantonly within the US will clutch every last possible pearl available the moment someone says "Uh, Israel?" with cries of "BIGOT" WHILE ALSO HATING JEWS THEMSELVES. OPENLY. Does this make sense to you yet? Great because gently caress if I just don't throw my hands up at it. e:to add [ ]'s because I should have said 'Majority Jewish held Israeli state' and I typed that up quickly and don't want that to be misconstrued, I apologize.

The UN gave them Palestine's land following WWII and lol if you think following WWII a decree by the UN was getting challenged by much. ..until later. Then some wars happened because of it. For like 70 years. With russia involved. and stuff.

Palestine has had ties to Russia going back to the 20's and 30's and Israel and Palestine have acted as Eastern/Western power brokers in the region since following WWI. ..and THEN the WWII and land treaties happened. ...and THEN stuff like the 6 Day war happened. and everything else between East/West and Israel and Palestine. So yep there's some recent history there.

World War Mammories posted:there literally isn’t one, israel has been violating treaties and ignoring its own supreme court for decades That's not ENTIRELY true. Britain seized control of Palestine from the Ottoman Empire (hello history lesson if you guys really wanna dig) and then held that until after WWII. At which time they ceded control of this 'British territory' to 'Israel' thus forming a territory legally. See? Nice and neat. All you have to do is "Be the British Empire, seize territory from the remains of the Roman Empire, hold on to it through two modern world wars, and then give it to someone." There. Legal. Thank you Britain again for your ongoing dedication to progress and just rule in the modern world.

EorayMel posted:In simpler terms: they are good when they are very good&cool killing anybody other than other jews(or Christians), and thus any criticism makes you the rear end in a top hat. Unfortunately not quite. If this was true, it'd actually be EASIER to explain. At least then you could say "Oh, today is Monday and they're killing so and so again, that's nice. Now it's Thursday and they're back to the others, I DON'T like it." What I described exists as a true form of the idea of 'double-think'. The Jewish and Israeli people are simply a vague concept to all but the people in power. They are arbitrary different, shifting shades of olive skinned, foreign-tongued, and non-christian, who knows what lurks in their magical, powerful uplifting soulful and kindred hearts, ready to lift our faiths to new found glories, to whom we owe our Lord. Let us pray together.

Xenocides, I tried to extrapolate on what other posters were talking about. If I tried, and failed, and got too wildly off topic I'm sorry for being a butt pipe I tried to go into specific points of interest. I know you're cool and stuff. This isn't a dnd thread. This isn't any other thread. This is for GBS to hash it out hog wild. Please don't go napalm with stuff unless someone asks or whatever, ok? We both should have reigned that in, and I apologize.

If anyone does want to ask more stuff because they feel like assholes and want to feel like less assholes without going to DnD or whatever and just hashing poo poo out and you've never had the chance to just ask "what the gently caress?" you can try here. I don't have approval from the mods or anything and you're probably gonna get anime fetus' and me saying "The gently caress is wrong with you you loving moron" but if you'd like to give it a whirl, go for it.

World War Mammories posted:you're talking about the formation of israel, which is neat, although you missed out on the whole "Irgun was literally a fascist terrorist organization" thing. but I'm talking literally about how the israeli supreme court has repeatedly identified israeli settlements on palestinian land as illegal. this is not (only) because of british machinations seventy years ago; this is ongoing lawlessness right now purely due to the israeli state's explicit desire to commit genocide. Then you have no reason to talk about it in other words. So shut the gently caress up.

By saying it was a mistake for Israel to do this, on multiple levels, clearly it means the person condones and applauds everything else that was going on and not just observing a compounding of errors. I am a smart person.

Rutibex posted:thats the whole point. they are planning some massacres and that building was full of cameras and broadcasting equipment I know what the loving point was. I'm saying "no one gave a poo poo about Israel ALREADY COMMITTING MASSACRES so them blowing up international press agencies to cover for it was stupid on top of terrible". I didn't think it was complicated to read how I presented that especially given my other posts in this thread. From a purely cold, calculated position, Israel was free to do whatever the gently caress they wanted and just keep firing upon whatever targets they like and it doesn't register with the rest of the world, in general. At least, not with the people who are willing to stop it. However, when you actively target world press offices on purpose that raises awareness and people, in general know "Hey you don't kill the press in wartime, wtf" and so it's a mistake for them to have done this. There I've typed it out specifically for you now. And yes, I know someone is going to be SUPER pedantic and quote me and say "LOL WARTIME?! HAH IT'S NOT WARTIME!" and go off on some stupid tangent. No poo poo.
