So if Hamas (like Hamas in the parallel universe, which is used so often as a pretext) was magically able to invade Israel with tanks/planes/missiles and kill tens of thousands, it would be also...

Acting like we are in a world war, with Hamas being Japan, is next level :)

Imo it is rather clear that Hamas is a terrorist organization, whether honestly muslim or not is beyond the point and doesn't even matter, they are terrorist.
But it should never be hard to realize...

If that was so, then I expect you'd have no issue if all 2 million palestinians in Gaza died? And if not, why does it work now and not then, when it's not about arithmetic?
Trying to allow you to...

That's why proportionality is an issue. At some point, if you react to the killing of 1000 people by killing (what is it by now) 34.000, it should become obvious you are just using the death of the...

Nothing gives those people more incentive to remove Hamas than massacring them as blamed for not removing Hamas.
This rests upon knowing that it is human nature to take the side of your mother's...

Sigh, you really are unable to realize that a population can't easily oust its foreign-backed government? Now add to that equation that it's currently massacred by a state that calls for that...

You do realize that the people of Gaza can't remove Hamas, right? Its leadership is in Turkey (formerly in Qatar). And then fail to realize that Israel can't remove Hamas non-leaders in Gaza either,...

Let's not pretend that many people hold the position that Israel killed 10.000+ children because it was so anxious to have 100 something hostages released.
But hey, maybe that is a Hamas number and...

Some major greek newspapers mention it, along with information that the guard has now been released, following diplomatic or state intervention. Eg:...

So what exactly happened here?
I am not a practicing christian, but surely arresting (looks more like abduction by thugs) the consul's bodyguard (who should also have diplomatic...

Any chance of a russian offensive in Summer that can force some kind of end (=talks about signing peace, clearly with more lost territories for Ukraine)?
Russia is slowly eating up more land in the...

It's part of the problematic position you hold, that you think the operative in a claim is what the person presenting it thinks, and not the claim. You can follow its symmetry to why you yourself...

A genocide doesn't have to be getting rid of the entire population. Israel already killed 2% of the population. You are arguing that if it wanted to, it could kill a lot more a lot faster, but...

A cyclist fell off his bike and is in pain, but because the pain is excruciating and lasts for a while, he finally convinces himself that he is in pain because he is actually a pedestrian who wanted...

It's ok, you should just stick to what the IDF says. After all, they run checks on their own self, so if they are wrong they will know and be self-punished.
Foreign journalists not being allowed (by...

Ever let the thought come to your head that there isn't evidence of a smoking gun because there is no smoking gun?
The situation in some countries - don't know about Holland, Germany certainly is...

Do you remember him from the 90s? (pretty boy from the Faculty and a few other teen movies).

By now the majority of oil production is in the China/Russia alliance (the one originally termed Brics), including Saudi and Persia. Russia alone is almost as big a producer as Saudi.

I tried to look for other posts by AqD in the thread, which would imply that this is sarcasm, but he doesn't have that many here apparently and I can't go back 500 pages :surprise:
Regardless if it...

I agree with Mishkin, it's just jingoism to support x because "it's our side!". It's another problematic consequence of viewing large entities (countries, or even blocks like "the west") as in...

Castor and Poland did that too.

I tried to watch Nope (some Peele horror movie), but it simply is lame.
Some of the cinematography is fine, the story itself... nope.

The way things are going, it will get to the point where world war not happening will be even more miserable.
Because it'll only mean an extended prewar period of massive rearmament.

What can...

You are making him sound like Genghis Khan. Alexander became a mythical hero in many different countries - that doesn't happen if you simply killed and conquered them (imagine the mongols being...

Religion is negative at the best of times, but a cow prophecy, really? ^^
The leadership of Hamas is relocating to Turkey, btw (not that half of it wasn't there to begin with). I view this too...

Late Night with the Devil.

This was meh.
I'd say that what it had going for it was the girl, but as I am unsure if she is >=18 or not (?), it can't be a focus.

Cheering for war, cheering for war never changes.
In that it is the same as war :) Maybe that's why one tends to lead to the other.

Is this really a gamble by Israel that it will be better off if it causes a massive war in the middle east?
Because with its new strike against Iran, it looks like this is the trajectory.

^_^

One of the many issues with Hamas, is that Israel created it, to antagonize (and often literally murder) Fatah officials, ultimately making it even harder for Palestine to form in WB and Gaza. That...

Formal logic system nhyt got it, though the implication works without the specific trait.

Sounds too meek, imo. We should simply nuke Moscow, they wouldn't retaliate because they can't risk nuclear war.

λ is the greek lowercase letter for l (L), you barbarian (=non greek) ^^

Can't you infer that the point is it only cares about dead Israelis? Come on :P
Can't pretend there is an ethical position, when the ethical part of it (we care about all dead people) is a blatant...

Speaking as someone who can - or rather could - be termed a "friend of Israel", I simply don't see how it can be claimed that Israel doesn't end the war because it cares about hypothetical future...

^I agree with you entirely on that point.

Preemptive attack, while often presented as self-defense, is generally the opposite (a giveaway is that it features the term attack in its name).
"Billions dead" can include the entire population of...
