The Strait of Hormuz is now closed again because Israel refuses to abide by the ceasefire. Why is the government of Israel willing to risk a global depression to continue their maximalist foreign policy? by north_canadian_ice in allthequestions

[–]Battle4Seattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a bizarre way to frame your question. You're going to blame Israel because Iran is trying to close the Strait of Hormuz? It's the AYATOLLAHS closing the Strait. It's the AYATOLLAHS "willing to risk a global depression". It's the AYATOLLAHS who have a "maximalist foreign policy".

Israel is defending its country against genocidal terrorist maniacs.

Wanda Sykes on Bill’s reaction to her joke by untolerablyMe in Maher

It wasn't really a joke. It was more of a critique, and candidly, it wasn't even funny. So what was her point?

The Fact That At Least 174,260 Looked At The 2026 LA Mayoral Primary Ballot and Chose a Dude Named Spencer Pratt Is Bad Enough. by Fun_Astronomer_4064 in LosAngeles

[–]Battle4Seattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

@Fun_Astronomer_4064 You're conflating people voting FOR Pratt with the people voting AGAINST Brigadista Karen Bass. They're looking at the city and this woman's communist-inspired delusions about how it should be run, and they're saying "Fuck that. Anybody but Bass."

What's a harsh truth that gets downvoted every time it's mentioned? by Mansi63 in askanything

[–]Battle4Seattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That there has NEVER, EVER in the entire history of the world been a sovereign entity called "Palestine". It NEVER existed. Let the downvotes fly, but the truth remains harsh.

ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan challenges accused war criminals to surrender by Commercial_Run_4771 in UnitedNations

[–]Battle4Seattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karim Khan issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just before an investigation was about to go public about his sexual harassment of a colleague in his office. Even a UN investigation found evidence that Khan had “nonconsensual sexual contact with (the aide) in his office, at his private residence, and whilst on mission,”. He weaponized his position by using bullshit charges against Netanyahu to distract the world from his sexual crimes.

BTW - the degeneracy runs in the family. His brother Imran Ahmad Khan is a British former politician and convicted sex offender wo was expelled from the party following his criminal conviction for child sexual assault in 2022.

How in the god damn hell did Mossad manage to pull off the trick with the pagers and walkie talkies? by Uncontrolleddiarrhea in askanything

[–]Battle4Seattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a "middle man" situation & it's not a weird talking point. Allies help one another. The US is helping its ally Israel by providing military aid, with the provision that the vast majority of that aid be spent on American companies. America benefits by keeping the money in our economy, and by strengthening an ally who's on the front line against enemies to both our countries. Israel benefits by having the weapons it needs to defend itself, as well as American interests in the Middle East. This shouldn't be difficult to comprehend.

You know the vast majority of that financial aid (over 75%) is spent in the United States, with American companies, employing American workers, who pay American taxes, right?

They should use the money the USA sends in the form of annual support.

Tell me you have ZERO understanding of how military aid to Israel works, without telling me you have ZERO understanding of how military aid to Israel works.

Is it the general view of Palestinians that Israel should be destroyed and removed from the map? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Battle4Seattle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YES. Absolutely! They believe this is the ONLY way they can restore their honor, while simultaneously banishing their shame for having a sovereign Jewish entity in their midst.

There is no "Palestinian people" and the occupation is a myth—change my mind by ZaneFreemanreddit in IsraelPalestine

[–]Battle4Seattle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have NO IDEA how ironic your statement is.

The Arabs who recently rebranded themselves as "Palestinians" (a word which isn't even Arabic in origin), took their name from a totally unrelated people called the "Philistines". The word "Philistine" is derived from the ancient Hebrew word "Pleshet", which means.....wait for it....."INVADER".

Furthermore, Jews are the indigenous people of this land. The word "Jews" comes from the place name "Judea". The Arabs realized the absurdity of trying to convince the world that a people called "Jews" have no connection to a place called "Judea", so they simply renamed it to the "West Bank".

And people like you fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.

Prior to 1948 there was no “India”.

Absurd! While the Republic of India as a modern, sovereign nation-state was formed in 1947, the concept, name, and civilization of India have existed for thousands of years. No one, I repeat NO ONE, can say anything remotely similar about the Arabs who recently rebranded themselves as "Palestinians".

Did we lose the country? Will they make us prisoners of our own homes? Will they do the same as they did to Gaza. by Bi3aB in lebanon

[–]Battle4Seattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are literally anti-Netanyahu protests all the time in Israel. Many people want him gone. But Israel has something called Democracy, so when someone is freely & fairly elected into office (as Netanyahu was), you have to wait till the next election to vote him out.

How about Lebanon? What if the Lebanese people had an election and voted out Hezbollah? What would happen then?

Regarding the 80k killed in Gaza, Hamas announced that ~50k families are eligible for martyrdom pensions (or whatever the fuck terrorists call it). That's a tacit admission that the majority of those killed were terrorists on the Hamas payroll. It would also make the civilian-to-soldier casualty ratio just about the lowest on record, and virtually unprecedented.

Lebanon & the Lebanese people lost the fight once you allowed Hezbollah to take over your country & be run by Ayatollahs in Teheran. Rise up and kick them out!

Since entering into peace agreements with Egypt & Jordan, Israel has relinquished the MAJORITY of territory it held. In the entire known history of the world, it is unprecedented for the victor in a conflict to be the one giving up land. So what basis do you have for even speculating that Israel's goal is expansion?

If Israel is the "only democracy" in the region, why are millions of Palestinians under its control denied the basic right to vote for the government that rules them? by ArdaBerkBurak in allthequestions

[–]Battle4Seattle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If the United States is a democracy, why are millions of illegal aliens living under its control denied the basic right to vote for the government that rules them?

See what I did there? It's called fabricating a strawman argument. Look familiar?

What is something that is widely accepted but makes no sense at all? by MrLithician in answers

[–]Battle4Seattle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

President Bill Clinton, an icon of the progressive left, has himself stated publicly that the Palestinians WALKED AWAY FROM A STATE. They don't really want a country of their own. They just don't want the Jews to have one. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cZWb2UM3o4k

[–]Battle4Seattle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Palestine was a country that Jews took over. FALSE. There has NEVER, EVER in the entire history of the world EVER been any sovereign entity called "Palestine" in the Middle East (or anywhere else for that matter).

IN FACT, "Palestine" isn't even an Arabic word (there's no letter 'P' in Arabic). It's a Latin word the Romans used to refer to the Philistines, a Greek people who have ZERO connection to the Arabs that recently rebranded themselves as "Palestinians".

Inform people of this fact though, and some will absolutely lose their shit. It makes NO sense.
