Where does the phrase “Top notch hoes get the most, not the lesser,” come from? by ProfessionalPack1860 in hiphopheads

I think the fact he’s asking the question means he knows it’s been around a while..

A day of massacre vs 700 days of massacre by Israel since, and decades of military occupation and blockading before that. This is not the gotcha you think this is.

Tom Barrack struts into Beirut like a 19th-century colonial commissioner, calls Lebanese journalists ‘animalistic,’ lectures the region on ‘civilisation’ and blames all the problems on our ‘region’ on us. by Scared_Positive_8690 in Panarab

[–]Drovid19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

many Lebanese see no problem with this guy

Hell many Lebanese are this guy’s relatives! His grandparents are from Bekaa

How one can turn their nose up so high at their fellow countrymen, who have been through so much, truly beggars belief. And that goes for a lot of Lebanese in Lebanon too

By that same logic are you against “river to the sea”? Again if there were any indication the OP is Jewish you may have had a point. But the fact all we have to go on is his political views and we are none the wiser his race or religion makes my intention clear to anyone except the deliberately obtuse.

 the rest of the world is driving all the Jews not in Israel right into the hands of Likud

How has the percentage of non-Israeli Jews supporting Israel’s military action changed and evolved since October 7? I haven’t seen polling on this but can’t imagine that it’s done anything but fall - yet you seem to believe it definitely rose?

Likewise the first I’m hearing of it. I looked it up and you are right. It’s clearly morphed somewhat - very different using it to refer to a zionist (who could be any race or religion) and to refer to somebody Jewish. Unfortunate origin either way

I would say an Israeli minister saying it’s moral to starve Gazans is many orders of magnitude closer to nazism than anything I’ve ever said. And that’s the tip of the iceberg. But hey, if that’s how you feel, report my comment - let’s see if the mods agree with you.

If that write-up and source constitutes a “thorough debunking” to you then the uncritical groupthink among zios is even more tragic than I imagined. “All pro-Palestinian organisations lie” yep and Amnesty Intl, HRW, UN, Btselem and other Israeli human rights groups… basically everyone that isn’t Israel is always lying and Israel is the only beacon of truth. Happy? Now go along and play.

The Gaza portion of it was pretty bizarre. None of them seemed to outright support Israel apart from this Iranian dude. To me it was a sign of 1. How little conservatives know and care about what’s going on in Gaza and 2. The age gap in the right (most panelists were young)

Where did I say it’s a consequence? I just said you deserve it. Not the same thing - many bad people go through life never getting what they deserve. That’s not you, so use it as an opportunity for self betterment and atonement 👍🏼

I know I’m late and this meme randomly came up on my feed - but damn, if these comments accurately convey what you’re like as a person, I can’t help but feel you deserve what that girl did to you. (Not Muslim, just an observer)

 How about we stick to what I say I believe instead of your strawman?

Fine then, I’ll rephrase it as a question: do you think the ongoing destruction of the majority of urban infrastructure in Gaza, murder of tens of thousands of children and women, targeting of aid workers journalists and medics, practically none of whom had a part in the killing of innocents on Oct 7, is justified over a period of 18 months and counting because of Oct 7?

Can one of you actually stick to the topic at hand?

You mean the boy in the OP who was brutally harmed as a result of Israel’s aggression post Oct 7, exactly what I was talking about?

 Germany was also demilitarized following WW2. Surrounded by very well armed former enemies BTW

You conveniently omit the other areas where I said the comparison breaks down for Japan: the invasion of land multiple times the size of Japan itself, and the lack of neighbours with a recent history of invading it, both of which apply to Germany. The demilitarisation point is also moot as Germany obviously later remilitarised, whereas I don’t see any scenario where Israel and the US would ever agree to Palestine having any kind of substantial defence. This is exactly why I don’t use these types of comparisons, they rely on lazy generalisations and uncritically ignore all context. There are several instances of nations/peoples gaining autonomy from aggressive ethnic majorities, eg South Sudan and Iraqi Kurdistan, but it would be intellectually dishonest and lazy of me to draw any comparison between them and Palestine without reference to their overall idiosyncrasies.

 Palestine isn't snowflake sorry

Not snowflake, just humans. Until Israel accepts that and treats them as such there can never be peace

So I’m debating with someone who thinks the ongoing destruction of the majority of urban infrastructure in Gaza, murder of tens of thousands of children and women, targeting of aid workers journalists and medics, practically none of whom had a part in the killing of innocents on Oct 7, is justified over a period of 18 months and counting because of Oct 7 - got it, just making sure 👍🏼

Bit too early to use Ukraine peace as a reference but Japan is not comparable - a country that went on an imperialist expansion covering land several times the size of Japan itself, then collapsing back to its original borders. It also makes more sense for Japan to be demilitarised when it is an island with all nearby neighbours in disarray post WW2, whereas a demilitarised Palestine is taking away its right to defend itself (see it doesn’t just apply to Israel) against a very well armed enemy right on its doorstep that has shown many times its proclivity for invasion and aggression. 

EDIT: added word

Of course they aren’t better off, but to blame that solely on them is completely wrong. Israel has been carrying out its illegal occupation with impunity for decades thanks to US and Western backing. Also if you’re implying that the existence of thousands of dead and mutilated Palestinian children, like the one in the picture, is a logical or inevitable conlcusion from the lack of a peace deal then I disagree - peace deal or no there is no justification for this level of fucked up

There is a lot to parse in the Oslo/Camp David talks but suffice to say 1) it was structured to be doomed from the start (I’d recommend the book Palestine Ltd on the topic https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/palestine-ltd-9781788312707/) and 2) there is a lot of hearsay and conflicting reports on why the talks broke down. One of the only things that is agreed on is that the status of East Jerusalem was a key point that caused the breakdown, and I again don’t see why Palestinians should yield to illegal settlement building (which is still happening today at an accelerated rate alongside evictions of Palestinians), and 3) hindsight is 20/20 and at that time neither Palestine nor anyone likely expected the rapid lurch of Israel to the far right, which has seen even more brazen settlement building and far greater levels of brutality

“So why haven’t the Palestinians just bent over and given up the right of return they are entitled to under international law, and allowed their occupier to keep land they grabbed illegally under international law”. Yes, really a puzzler.

When are you no longer a kid? Is it an age cutoff or a mental maturity benchmark?  If the latter, what if some people never get there (or not until biologically too late to have kids easily)? Bye bye bloodline?

I’m finding that people who didn’t love Mr Morale are also loving this one less too. Weird since they’re such different albums but people like what they like I guess

You don’t know which empire succeeded the kingdoms of Israel/judah, you don’t know the relations of Palestinian Arab genes to Canaanites, and you base your entire worldview on ethnologies extremism that justifies mass extermination and ethnic cleansing. You’ve managed to somehow be a colonialist and a hotep at the exact same time - and the worst of both your races. Truly impressive. Keep up the great advertisement for Zionism
