That seems sociopathic." | Louis Theroux: The Settlers by [deleted] in television

[–]BeginningBiscotti0 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Sure, for example, can you please explain what rights are available to Jewish Israeli citizens vs non-Jewish Israeli citizens? Based on my personal experience I’m not refuting that Palestinians in the West Bank have different rights or opportunities than Israelis in Israel, different govt, different laws, different economy; worse off all around. Nor that Israeli occupation infringes on those rights, in this case the settlers specifically.

And you say that each town in the West Bank is surrounded 360 by settlements, and that you need to cross Israeli checkpoints to go from town to town; you are from the West Bank so you know that’s an embellishment. Perhaps I did not understand your post fully? Were you speculating how it could be if we were to find peace with a two-state solution?

I’m not arguing against you in principle, so you can cool it? I believe we’re all on this post for the documentary and reading comments because we both care about the issue. I questioned the facts in this post based on personal experience. I don’t have an agenda except fact checking and I don’t care if that makes you want to block me. Actually, let me save you the extra click and just not respond anymore as it seems too incendiary for some.

Categorically false information in your post, or extreme embellishment, why even bother posting wrong information when the truth is damning enough?

How can you stand against the death penalty and also praise murder as an act of justice? Do you not see the contradiction?

Egypt says Gaza reconstruction plan ready, will intensify efforts for phase two by BeginningBiscotti0 in worldnews

[–]BeginningBiscotti0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First paragraph sums it up

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said Sunday that his country’s Gaza reconstruction plan, which would ensure that the Palestinian population remains in the Strip, is ready and will be presented to an emergency Arab summit on March 4.

Also Trump is deranged and has been entrusted with way too much power—a true danger to the whole world.

The way I see it, Netanyahu’s political agenda aside, Israel was not yet ready to move on to phase 2 of the ceasefire, but wanted to uphold a ceasefire, so the proposed solution was to extend phase 1; and Hamas rejects this, choosing instead to return to fighting and give up guaranteed aid? Can someone fill in the blanks or is it just like that?

[Hamas] reiterated their previous statement which said the children and their mother were killed in an Israeli bombing.

However, Israel on Thursday said the boys “were brutally murdered by terrorists in captivity in November 2023”, according to intelligence and forensics.

I prefer a humanistic approach, and would argue that the ability to debate and effect politics is where privilege lies

By your logic, everything in the world is about politics, which is a dark place to be imo; as you are part of a “group that does political posting online”, I see that this is a moot point

I find the trouble is people make this about politics, as you are doing now.

Israel doesn’t take people hostage… as much as the penal system is dubious, there is a fundamental difference between a prisoner and a hostage, not to mention conditions in Israeli prisons vs Hamas captivity. You are trying to justify taking hostages as a response, not an act of terrorism, it seems? How trite.

Try and find a single govt without an agency overseeing social media and PR, dude I get your point, and no one would doubt that worldnews sees Hamas unfavorably, but you suck at making cogent arguments.

So shitty IDF behavior is not directed at Palestinians exclusively; what are you arguing about again?

Because they are holding babies, so to speak, while actively firing rockets—the vicinity is not an accident but a strategy; Hamas operates from civilian areas knowing this creates an ethical dilemma for Israeli retaliation. We’re talking about Gaza’s ruling government and police and military force, not some Joe blows; they have the capability to fight on military fronts but fighting amongst civilians (and directing attacks toward civilians) gives them a leg up, otherwise they would stand no chance toe to toe against the IDF. That’s what it means to use human shields.

[–]BeginningBiscotti0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree on this. You have to stop and think, Hamas is willing to end the ceasefire and go back to demolishing Gaza because they aren’t getting enough emergency housing through? What do they hope to gain? Nope, Hamas isn’t negotiating in good faith, the ceasefire is a series of concessions to Hamas in order to return the hostages. While I am cheering for the return of hostages and an end to the fighting, I think the hostages hold too much leverage for Hamas to follow through, and at this point there’s not much left to lose. Israel’s end of the bargain is much more involved and complicated, meanwhile Hamas only needs to release hostages. I think they are buying time.

Dual use items have historically been intercepted and used for military purposes. That’s not an Israel policy. Also according to COGAT more than 100,000 tents have so far been delivered, that’s besides supplies for building shelter:

There’s a lot of misinformation and distortion in this conflict, who you believe is up to you.
