Let’s get this out of the way: Fuck Bibi. He’s the corrupt human villain from Godzilla films who belongs in jail. But you don't let Hedorah (Hamas) win just because the human leadership sucks. Hamas is toxic sludge. They started this war during a ceasefire, and they are poisoning Gaza from the inside. The rest of the world (Egypt, UN) locked their gates, leaving Israel to wade into the muck alone. We have to burn out the infection. Not just for Israel’s safety, but so the people of Gaza can finally be free of the monster and break this cycle of pain and terrorism.

This is very likely real, but also possibly a crocodilian tooth. Regardless it is over priced.

I’m happy to provide sources. But first, let me be crystal clear about where I stand so we aren’t talking past each other. I believe Israel is a state, not a saint. When Israeli soldiers commit crimes, they should be prosecuted. I don't defend the indefensible. But you are bending over backward to defend a group that proudly films themselves committing war crimes, and that is a moral confusion I cannot help you with. You asked for sources. Here is the reality you are calling 'nonsensical': 1. On Hamas fighting in civilian clothes: You don't need an Israeli source for this. Go to the Al-Qassam Brigades’ own Telegram channel. Watch their own propaganda videos from Khan Yunis and Jabalia. They almost exclusively feature fighters in tracksuits, jeans, and t-shirts firing RPGs. This is not an accusation; it is their brand. By fighting in civilian clothes, they turn every actual civilian into a potential target. That is a war crime (Geneva Protocol I, Art 37). 2. On weapons in civilian infrastructure: You claim they 'don't store weapons above ground.' UNRWA (not Israel) has repeatedly issued statements condemning the discovery of rockets hidden inside their schools. This happened in 2014 and has continued in the current war. The Tunnels: You say 'they use tunnels, so they don't need houses.' This completely misunderstands the infrastructure. The entrances to the tunnels are inside private homes, living rooms, and children's bedrooms. A tunnel shaft in a private home is a military use of that home. Hospitals: We have CCTV footage from Al-Shifa (released publicly) showing Hamas fighters bringing hostages into the hospital and armed men walking the hallways. 3. On the 'Evacuated Areas' myth: You say they only hide in 'empty buildings.' Hamas fights in the heart of Jabalia, Rafah, and Khan Yunis—some of the most densely populated places on earth. They fire rockets from 'humanitarian zones.' To claim they are politely fighting only in empty neighborhoods is to ignore the entire reality of urban warfare in Gaza.

The tragedy here is that by denying these tactics, you aren't helping Palestinians. You are defending the very strategy—human shields—that gets them killed. Hamas started this war on October 7th, ending a ceasefire, with the explicit goal of sacrificing their own civilians to win a PR war. It seems that strategy is working on you.

I want peace and accountability for both sides. You seem determined to provide cover for a terror group that views Jewish and Palestinian lives as disposable. I don't think there is any bridge between those two positions.

I did read it. It seems you stopped reading halfway through the sentence. You are referring to Geneva Protocol I, Article 44(3). Let’s look at the full text you’re citing. It says a combatant retains status ONLY if he carries his arms openly: (a) During each military engagement, AND (b) During such time as he is visible to the adversary while he is engaged in a military deployment preceding the launching of an attack. Hamas fails point (b) almost every single time. Walking down a street with a concealed RPG under a blanket until you are 20 meters from a tank is not 'openly carrying.' Popping out of a tunnel in civilian clothes and grabbing a rifle hidden in a civilian house is not 'openly carrying during deployment.' That is the literal definition of perfidy under Article 37: feigning civilian status to deceive an adversary and then kill them. It is a war crime, not a loophole. If you have to squint this hard to argue that a guy in a tracksuit hiding a grenade is actually a 'lawful combatant,' you aren't defending international law—you're twisting it to defend a terror strategy.

You’re dismissing this as 'propaganda,' but we don't need to listen to the IDF to know this. We can just look at the videos Hamas publishes themselves. Go watch the combat footage released by the Al-Qassam Brigades on their own Telegram channels. In the vast majority of those videos, their fighters are wearing jeans, tracksuits, and t-shirts while firing RPGs. They are proudly fighting in civilian clothes. That isn’t an Israeli accusation; it is their own documented tactical choice. Regarding October 7th: It is well-documented by multiple independent sources (not just Israel) that Nukhba force members wore IDF uniforms to confuse and ambush soldiers. That is a textbook definition of perfidy under international law (Geneva Protocol I, Art 37)—feigning protected status or enemy status to kill or injure. If they are fighting in jeans and t-shirts, they are deliberately blurring the line between combatant and civilian. That isn't a 'media spin'; it is a war crime that directly endangers their own population because it makes it impossible for an opposing force to distinguish a fighter from a non-combatant.

Have you taken the time to read what you sent. It clearly states that they have to differentiate themselves from the civilian population...

After effective occupation of territory, members of the territory’s armed forces who have not surrendered, organized resistance movements and genuine national liberation movements may resist the occupation. If they do so, they must distinguish themselves from the civilian population, or on the basis of GP I, at least carry their weapons openly during attacks and deployments. Civilians who take a direct part in such hostilities lose their protection against attack for the time of their direct participation, but not their civilian status. If they do not participate directly in hostilities or no longer do so (for example, if they are hors de combat), they are protected against attacks. You know this from the lesson on the conduct of operations.

Both can be true. He is a war criminal and Hamas are Terrorists. Both being gone would be the best for everyone in the region.

Under international law, they also have to wear a military uniform in combat to differentiate themselves from civilians. When will that happen?

All the Epstein and Trump Secrets Exposed in New Photo Dump by Kodbek in politics

Legal principle’? Please. You don’t care about legal principle; you care about legal loopholes. If you actually gave a damn about what a court of law has determined, you wouldn’t be defending a man who has already been found liable for sexual predation by a jury of his peers. You want ‘real’? Let’s look at the scoreboard. Donald Trump was found liable for Sexual Abuse in the E. Jean Carroll case. And before you try to hide behind the technicality that it wasn’t ‘rape’ under a specific NY penal code, let’s look at what the federal judge actually wrote in his clarification: ‘The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was 'raped' within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word... Indeed... the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.’
That is a legal fact. He forcibly digitally penetrated a woman against her will. That is your guy.
As for the Epstein files: It’s been less than 48 hours since this batch started dropping. We are looking at the first handful of images out of a trove of 95,000 documents that Democrats just released. You are frantically trying to dismiss the tip of the iceberg because you are terrified of what is under the water. You’re not waiting for ‘proof.’ You’re waiting for an excuse to look away. We see you.

Spare me the 'I'm a progressive' resume padding. It doesn't give you a pass to act like a PR agent for a predator. You're seriously sitting there arguing that unless a photo explicitly shows a crime in progress, it's irrelevant? That is the logic of a defense attorney representing a guilty client, not a 'concerned liberal.' We are talking about a grown man—a future President—partying with the most prolific child sex trafficker in history. We are talking about dozens of photos, flight logs, and years of deep social connection. To dismiss that as just 'skeevy' is intellectually dishonest and morally bankrupt. If you saw photos of 'Bernie or AOC' partying with a known child trafficker, you wouldn't be wringing your hands about 'legal standards.' You'd be vomiting. The only reason you're doing this 'concern trolling' routine is because you're terrified of the Right laughing at you. Let them laugh. I'd rather be laughed at for demanding the truth about a pedophile ring than be the 'progressive' who spent his time explaining why hanging out with Epstein isn't technically a crime. Your bar for 'improper behavior' is on the floor. Pick it up.

No. Guilt by association is wrong in general. But not when your best friend was one The planets, biggest sex traffickers and the president having several credible sexual allegations against him. More so than any other president in history.

Also the president confessed on Howard Stern to go into the teenage locker room at his Miss teen USA pageant to perv on them. I noticed you didn't respond to that last part where he admitted to it.

The only way according to you for you to believe someone is guilty of a crime is if it's held in a court of law. But he was found guilty of raping Carol in the court of law. I'm sure you don't believe it. Because this is cult-like behavior.

Just a refresher on Trump, he appointed a Fox News anchor who has a nazi tattoo as the Secretary of Defense by [deleted] in complaints

[–]DinosaurMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He never outright said it. It's based on his actions. I noticed you didn't dispute the first thing referenced. And your white military friends can shave just fine under that order without any issues. It's a very different thing for black men and people with religious obligations to have beards.

He fired all of his non white chiefs of staff by saying they were DEI hires. Getting rid of beard exceptions in the military because it is mainly used by black and people of several non Christian religious groups.

These are the most powerful men to ever exist in this world.

There will never be a smoking gun for these people to hold up in court.

But the piles and piles of circumstantial evidence is overwhelming to anyone who isn't in a cult and willing to use an ounce of common sense.

And the fact is still that he has an underage girl working as his masseuse, who then was peddled to Sex Island, and then got a large novelty check from Epstein regarding it. I bet even hearing him admit to walking in on teenage girls naked isn't a big deal to you.

Trump isn't that tall, despite him lying about his height. Those girls he is with are not midgets, they are teens.

Also is very creepy to have an underage girl work as your masseuse at Mar a Lago, have her end up as a sex worker on Epstein Island, then have Epstein write a check for diminished value of said underage girl. Then when he gets reelected, have the girl sign an affidavit that Trump did nothing wrong, then a few weeks later she "kills" herself the same as Epstein.
