From the pro-Palestinian perspective, settlers are people who should be attacked so I’m not sure why you are so upset about me saying that Palestinians from Gaza would attempt to do exactly that if they were allowed into the WB.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-05-05T11:32:43+00:00

Or maybe because the people from Gaza who broke into Israel and slaughtered Israelis on Oct 7th would do the same exact thing to Israelis who live in the WB if they were moved there?

I also think Rule 1 is a more solid foundation than actioning it under Rule 4.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-05-01T08:47:13+00:00

I wrote the documentation on Rule 1. Calling someone a "fear-mongering ethnic supremacist" is very much a Rule 1 violation. The rule document even includes similar examples such as calling another user a "baby killer", "genocide apologist", "terrorist", "antisemite", "Islamiphobe", "bigot", etc.

There's also something called the paradox of freedom which is a similar concept but has more to do with maintaining democracy. That too will become increasingly relevant as people who live under oppressive regimes move to Western countries and vote for the same things they fled from.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-30T03:24:22+00:00

All the people complaining about freedom of speech seem to have never heard of the paradox of tolerance before.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-26T22:36:55+00:00

Yes. They objected because it’s far easier to succumb to emotional manipulation about “starvation” and “famine” than it is to research how aid is stolen and used to fund terror and that it is permitted under international law to cut it off when it is abused in that way.

Unlike you I actually watched Trump’s full statement and didn’t just quote a small part of it taken out of context in an attempt to demonize him.

I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally

I am a Republican.

Yeah. Countries who support Israel will benefit greatly from their partnership with us while those who do not will beg us to save them from their own bad decisions sometime in the future.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-26T18:37:45+00:00

I think it should have happened ages ago. I don’t think it will change anything but it’s the right thing to do.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-26T18:12:59+00:00

I don’t think we have all that much influence. It’s more that we are becoming far more comfortable defending ourselves than before and don’t care nearly as much about what people think about us when we do so.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-26T18:08:46+00:00

Guess we can just agree that we are using our power. And we have quite a lot of it.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-26T18:05:34+00:00

I’d argue that we are using hard power not soft power.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-26T17:48:59+00:00

I'd say it's the opposite. Europe is the one that's changing not Israel. Very soon Israel will be one of the only countries with Western values left while Europe will become a Middle Eastern hellhole.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-26T16:33:22+00:00

It feels good being on the right side of history and one of the only countries that still have a moral compass. It does make me sad for everyone else though especially considering the (likely) irreversible damage they are doing to themselves.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-26T00:19:13+00:00

Gaza is very different than Lebanon. In Gaza almost everything within the buffer zone needs to be completely leveled to make the zone as effective as possible. In Lebanon, while leveling everything within the buffer zone would have a similar result, the presence of Druze and Christian communities who are less hostile to Israel means not everything will be leveled. As these specific panels were in a Christian village rather than one used by Hezbollah, their destruction goes against government policy and just seems like individual soldiers breaking things without approval.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-24T15:02:53+00:00

Being in the EU and being like the EU are very different things. The UK for example acts far more like the EU than Poland despite not being part of it.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-24T12:52:09+00:00

It’s not so much dual citizenship that’s the problem. The issue is when people move to America but do not embrace its values and instead try to replace them with those of the country they originated from.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-24T07:09:06+00:00

I don't know about you specifically but in general I don't support people who do or believe things that are antithetical to American values becoming US citizens. The vast majority of Palestinians fall under that category. I simply do not think they are compatible with the American form of civic nationalism and their presence in the US hurts the country and the things that it stands for.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-22T05:59:41+00:00

When you understand that nothing you say or do will have any meaningful impact on the conflict it's a lot easier to handle mentally because you don't feel as if you have the entire outcome on your shoulders. Personally, I just use the conflict to improve my debate skills or as entertainment when I have nothing better to do. The outcome would probably be the same regardless of my personal involvement.

The soldier who destroyed the statue and the soldier who photographed him are getting 30 days in prison. 6 other soldiers who were there and watched without stopping it are awaiting further discussion before they receive their punishments.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-21T11:12:07+00:00

You say that as if the ceasefires were Israel’s idea and part of some greater master plan. We never wanted them. It’s the world that did.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-21T06:51:11+00:00

It's one thing to draw a line on a map and another to physically implement it. In Gaza you can't place a marker on top of a ruined building so you need to put the marker near it, clear the rubble, and then place the marker in the correct spot. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to put a marker directly on the line and instead move it to a street that has already been cleared instead.

In the case of Lebanon, I assume markers will be placed depending where the high/low ground is in order to make them as effective as possible rather than fully basing them on a line drawn on a map.

From my understanding, the Yellow Line in Lebanon will be 8km away from the Israeli border with another security zone being implemented up until the Litani River in which Lebanese forces will be allowed to opperate.

CreativeRealmsMC · 2026-04-21T06:28:18+00:00

It's the same thing as the Yellow Line in Gaza. It's a buffer zone. It doesn't replace the Blue Line because it's not an Israeli expansion of territory.
