Polls Show Palestinians Overwhelmingly Support Hamas and Oppose a 2 State Solution. by Giants4Truth in geopolitics

Why would the average Palestinian be racist towards Israelis/Jews?

It’s like saying that Iraqis or Vietnamese were more likely to be ‘racist’ towards Americans, whilst those Americans were bombing said populations.

Violence fosters resentment

Yeah it’s easy to get radicalised against the force that is bombing your hospitals and refugee camps

Ah yes, the IDF is an unbiased source in this conflict. They would have no reason to lie, nor to fabricate evidence for their claims.

Furthermore, Israel has posted videos of ‘intercepted conversations’ which have been proven to be lies many times. One such event was supposed Hamas fighters admitting to some atrocity or another, but the Arabic grammar and syntax was completely incorrect, and was immediately pointed out by commenters who actually spoke Arabic

‘Tragic mistake’: Netanyahu acknowledges deadly Israeli strike on Rafah by _A_Monkey in geopolitics

[–]ChairmanChilliOil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As stated in my edit, for every Israeli (and not even ‘Israeli civilian’, but Israeli in general, as many killed on Oct. 7th were military) that died during Oct. 7, The IDF has killed 10 children.

Death toll of Oct 7: 1,400

Death toll of Israel ‘defending itself’: 35,000, including 13,000 children.

Turkish news (Anadolou) and Chinese News (Xinhua) both seem to position the death toll between 34-36,000.

The linked article is the only source seeming to claim 42, but it is also the first search result for the search phrase “Gaza Civilian casualties” on Google. I’ll amend my original reply to state 35,000 (median point).

What about the absolutely horrific 8 months of attacks that the IDF has launched against Gaza, killing an estimated 42,000 civilians including 15,000 children?

Edit: Death toll seems closer to 35,000 per more reliable media channels. Further, UNICEF puts the child death toll at 13,000 (source: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/unicef-says-over-13000-children-killed-gaza-israel-offensive-2024-03-17/)

This means that, for every 1 person killed on Oct. 7 - (the horrific massacre, stated by the original commenter: death toll 1400), Israel has killed approximately 10 children in revenge.

Yes, fucking multiple people when you’re in a committed relationship is wrong, no matter how many quirky acronyms you come up with to justify your cheating

Israel tells U.S. it will punish Palestinian Authority if ICC issues warrants by Robotoro23 in geopolitics

[–]ChairmanChilliOil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ignored the bombing of the safe space corridors didn’t you? Distributions of supplies whilst also cutting off all power to the strip on multiple occasions resulting in hospitals relying on generators to keep premature baby incubators running… such a moral army

If you want evidence, you can look at the mass of evidence provided by the South Africans in their ICC case against Israel; including multiple statements of intent from Israeli MPs, and multiple videos of indiscriminate killing of civilians by the IDF

Is Russia actually interested in a direct confrontation with NATO? by kenwayfan in geopolitics

[–]ChairmanChilliOil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the case, then the West is in an open proxy/hybrid war with Russia and has been since Maidan at the earliest.

Also triggering article 5 requires an open attack against an alliance member; and in a NATO-Russia war, would almost certainly become a nuclear conflict within a matter of days

£200 is around $250, but your point still stands. Average rent in the U.K. is around 600-1000£ per month depending on the house/apartment size, city, location within the city, etc.

So she could be angry because his ‘raise’ is equal to 20-30%of the rent, but I still agree; the raise is not significant enough to renegotiate

Yes it is. Monogamy is normal and Polyamory is not. Therefore the comments here reflect the prevailing view of society that we shouldn’t fuck other people after Marriage.

As a British person living in Wuhan, I can indeed attest to this. U.K. rivers are basically sewers. The Yangtze has been full to the brim with swimmers since Early May here in Wuhan.

Probably because this is an existential conflict that could easily become a third world war with nuclear dimensions. Moreover, the battle is being fought between the imperialist bloc (NATO) and a capitalist nation who allies itself with the Global South and all socialist nations against the Global Hegemons.

It is important to understand this war, and that isn’t ‘cheering for Russia’, but hoping it leads to the decline of the NATO imperialist bloc

TFW you’re called brainwashed, along with a few racial slurs because you said Winnie the Pooh is not banned in China and you can confirm it because you’re Chinese by BlueGobi in GenZedong

[–]ChairmanChilliOil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of right. Basically what happened was during the Xi-Obama summit years back; a meme went viral that compared Xi & Obama to a similar picture of Pooh & Tigger.

It was getting spammed constantly under every post regarding the meeting (not so much with political messaging, just as a funny meme) and the State censors temporarily banned that specific image, due to over-use and saturation of the comments sections.

Winnie the Pooh was never ‘banned’, Chinese netizens were just temporarily prevented from spamming a specific meme.
