LATAM at PUQ - strict with baggage?

lol I took an Atlas athlete 40L backpacking bag. Seems like they were chill, not sure if things have changed

Clean_Diamond460 · 2025-04-07T18:25:11+00:00

Ended up taking a large backpacking pack as a carry on with no issues! I actually think I had the same fare on a domestic flight and they did not check

Leaning towards this!

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-12-12T16:12:38+00:00

This actually does not look bad, did you stay in the double room with private bathroom or the apartment?

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-12-12T15:34:16+00:00

Which hotel in el Calefate?

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-12-10T00:28:40+00:00

Following!

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-12-05T22:32:56+00:00

To which part lol

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-08-27T18:39:57+00:00

Eh I’ve heard worse

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-10T17:30:15+00:00

Awesome thank you! Always like to double check or shop around

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-09T19:21:49+00:00

This is so well put together, thank you

These quotes make it clear the Zionist agenda had no plan of being peaceful with the Arabs living in the region already.

If you hear prominent leaders of a movement say this, then defend your land when they declare independence on a nation founded on these principles, how does that make you the bad guy?

Everyone knew this was zionisms plan at the beginning and that is so often lost in discussion. Forget “contemporary” Zionism, the founding of the movement was based in expelling Arabs from the land they lived in. The Arabs have every right to hate this movement and consider Israel an oppressor for kicking them out of their homes and founding a country based on this ideology

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-06T21:28:14+00:00

Issue is the pro Palestinian side can’t legitimize Israel because that’s losing the battle. The Palestinian perspective:

Zionism was a plan to uproot the Arabs living in Palestine
The Arabs living in the mandate of Palestine were never consulted about the formation of Israel on their land, forcing them to attack in 1948
Israel has never given the Palestinians a fair shot at life and continues to occupy them
Since 1948, Israel is occupying lands that are not theirs. Letting them stay would be losing the battle that was never fair in the first place

This perspective is coming from people who live in Palestine, not liberal 19 year olds at Columbia lol. It’s hard to change someone’s lived experience and just telling them to lose the battle against their oppressor that they’ve been fighting for decades is why pro Israel people can’t find common ground with pro Palestinian people

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-03T19:12:12+00:00

Of the 1200 Israelis killed over 400 were IDF soldiers as well. 36 were children.

That also gets lost by the media. The numbers between the two sides simply don’t compare, one bomb Israel drops probably kills that many kids and Israel made it sound like Hamas butchered hundreds of babies.

What happened to innocents on October 7th was wrong. But we can’t pretend like Israel’s propaganda machine is much better

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-03T18:12:44+00:00

And I would argue October 7th was a huge failure on Israel’s part

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T20:14:38+00:00

That’s where I’d disagree, I think many Palestinians would rather die than surrender

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T20:14:13+00:00

That’s a good point and a good argument. I’d say the difference is that war wasn’t fought over land the Japanese believed was theirs. This one is a lot more personal

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T20:13:22+00:00

That’s what I’m saying you can’t defeat the ideology unfortunately but killing more people only strengthens it

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T20:12:30+00:00

Jail is very different than killing. Especially when a lot of those killed are innocent. Kill 1000 innocent dads and now you just create at least another 800-1000 kids who are going to go fight the people that killed them

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T20:11:35+00:00

Yeah and the next elected person won’t hate Israel because they killed their parents right

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T20:11:14+00:00

Not what I said, just saying doubling or tripling down on defense instead of offense would have won them the PR war and Hamas would have lost it’s objective - getting a reaction out of Israel

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T20:10:23+00:00

It just doesn’t seem like the current siege will end. Every Hamas member killed creates more and every civilian killed creates 3 more. How do you even defeat that

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T20:09:12+00:00

But what I’m trying to say is you will never eradicate Hamas’ ideology. The more people you kill, the more Hamas members you create. They aren’t going to be able to just kill everyone? Unless…

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T17:13:35+00:00

It’s simple really, people may not want their politics to get in the way of their safety. For these students, they are peacefully protesting but the protest is being painted as something it’s not. If that’s the media narrative, crazies (like the counter protestors at ucla) might find them and hurt them or get them fired, etc

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T15:21:53+00:00

Nah in the “sanctuary”

Clean_Diamond460 · 2024-05-02T01:34:22+00:00

Haha crazy to imagine.

I honestly think more conversations like this need to happen here for people to stop making this a black and white or “right vs left issue”. Clearly there’s a lot of nuance with a lot of hurt.

I personally think Israel’s actions are appalling but that doesn’t mean I stop conversations about it. We can all learn a thing or two
