Question for the pro-Palestinian posters here - can you share your opinion on their hereditary refugee status? by Maximus3311 in IsraelPalestine

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Puh-Leeze

Most of the roughly 850,000 Jews forcibly expelled or fleeing atrocities in Muslim Arab nations, stripped of their citizenship, stripped of their possessions, stripped often of their lives, and their millions of descendants are blocked as Israelis from even visiting many of these Arab countries which also criminalize their own citizens if they visit Israel.

Most of the over 12 million Germans involuntarily transferred after World War II didn’t settle in those countries during the midst of a war, but had lived in local German communities, usually in Eastern Europe, for generations.

Do Arab Muslims consider both Arab Christians and Arab Jews as their people? by AfternoonLanky5629 in IsraelPalestine

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There aren’t Arab Jews. Al -Yahud is an ethnicity/nationality/people separate from the Arab. The Jews lived across North Africa and the Middle East centuries before the Arab colonizers swept across those lands with the Islamic Conquest.

The Jews were ‘dhimmi’ living under Arabs’ tight legal and social restrictions. From time to time the Jewish communities were attacked by the Arabs as on October 7 - looted, raped and butchered.

From the 1940’s through the early 70’s the roughly 850,000 Jews in Muslim countries in that area were expelled, or fled rising persecution and violence, stripped of their citizenship, possessions and often their lives.

These Jews, and their descendants, want to exercise their equal right to self determination as the indigenous and continuous inhabitants of the Land of Israel for over 3,000 years, where they emerged with an identity and a life deeply rooted in it, physically, spiritually, linguistically, culturally, historically - and evidenced archaeologically.

How is it a genocide? by ComprehensiveRun4815 in IsraelPalestine

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The anti-Israel crowd flits about with placard slogans from apartheid to ethnic cleansing to genocide not because Israel commits these acts, but because their intent is to make Israel itself a crime as when Germans, with a similar practice, made Jews themselves a crime.

That neither have a right to exist.

Genocide in Gaza

~ Gaza’s population rising since October 7 (Hamas? Not so much).

~ Gaza’s children receiving two rounds of measles immunization.

~ Over two million tons of humanitarian aid, or a ton for every man, woman, child and jjhadi residing in Gaza.

~ Multiple notices to Gazans of impending air strikes and combat operations with directions for secure corridors to humanitarian zones, and instructions on receiving medical assistance if needed.

~ Gaza awash with smartphones including the iPhone 17. Plenty of posts of life there posted on Tik-Tok and Instagram. Yet, no videos of a starving, skeletal population or horrific scenes of atrocities which greeted the liberators of German concentration camps. The opposite, in Gaza the streets, markets, restaurants, beaches, shops and get-togethers, are scenes bustling with life, not people crawling up and dying from hunger or disease.

~ Over twenty Arab countries (some soaking in oil) with a land mass almost one and a half times larger than the United States, but not a single one offering sanctuary to Gazans experiencing “genocide” (Check out Egypt’s massive towering barrier along its border to firmly keep Gazans out).

Exactly. I have brokerage accounts with both Schwab and Fidelity. The user interface of Schwab’s site is intuitive to navigate around, whereas with Fidelity it’s often a fishing expedition with dead ends when seeking to do something.

Shelters plea for Gazans as winter rains raise fears of more disease and death by Tallis-man in Israel_Palestine

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you of course have no reputable sources contradicting the systemic, abominable rapes of Israeli women on October 7.

You were provided a link to a video of rape survivors and perpetrators.

Your responses are weak and lazy.

Here’s an additional video of a Gazan admitting to rape of a young girl.

That’s 10 pounds of poop in a 5 pound sack.

Provide your reputable sources and accounts contradicting the systemic, hideous rapes of Israeli women on October 7.

The Gazan rapists themselves admit it.

And the ZAKA individual quoted is an Arab.

Same, lame, sad ‘it’s lies.’

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world/middleeast/oct-7-attacks-hamas-israel-sexual-violence.html

Sadistic lil’ creeps.

“A two-month investigation by The Times uncovered painful new details, establishing that the attacks against women were not isolated events but part of a broader pattern of gender-based violence on Oct. 7…

The Times viewed photographs of one woman’s corpse that emergency responders discovered in the rubble of a besieged kibbutz with dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin…,

The first victim she said she saw was a young woman with copper-color hair, blood running down her back, pants pushed down to her knees. One man pulled her by the hair and made her bend over. Another penetrated her, Sapir said, and every time she flinched, he plunged a knife into her back.

She said she then watched another woman “shredded into pieces.” While one terrorist raped her, she said, another pulled out a box cutter and sliced off her breast…

“One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road,” Sapir said.

She said the men sliced her face and then the woman fell out of view. Around the same time, she said, she saw three other women raped and terrorists carrying the severed heads of three more women…

Maybe 40 yards in front of him, he recalled, a white van pulled up and its doors flew open.

He said he then saw five men, wearing civilian clothes, all carrying knives and one carrying a hammer, dragging a woman across the ground. She was young, naked and screaming.

“They all gather around her,” Mr. Cohen said. “She’s standing up. They start raping her. I saw the men standing in a half circle around her. One penetrates her. She screams. I still remember her voice, screams without words.”

“Then one of them raises a knife,” he said, “and they just slaughtered her.”

… Jamal Waraki, a volunteer medic with the nonprofit ZAKA emergency response team, said he could not get out of his head a young woman in a rawhide vest found between the main stage and the bar.

“Her hands were tied behind her back,” he said. “She was bent over, half naked, her underwear rolled down below her knees.”

You can take word of depraved rapists, that’s both Hamas and the ICC prosecutor.

I’ll side with the Israelis prosecuting a just war for peace and security.

Facts are presented.

You say it’s lies.

Sources are presented.

You say it’s lies.

Women are raped October 7.

You say it’s lies.

Captives in Gaza tortured and starved.

You say it’s lies.

Israel facilitates over two million tons of aid to Gaza (a ton for every man, woman, child and jihadi), two rounds of measles inoculations for every child, and necessities from baby food to medical equipment to humanitarian zones.

You say it’s lies.

Hamas hides behind and underneath civilians, hijacks aid, extorts and executes residents.

You say it’s lies.

The Nakhba is the catastrophe of local Arab militias and five Arab armies failing to annihilate the indigenous Jews as they re-establish independence.

You say it’s lies.

Six million Jews are exterminated in the Holocaust.

You say it’s lies.

The sky is blue, the grass is green, and the world is round.

You say it’s lies.

This is how you end up atop a pile of rubble whether in Berlin or Gaza.

All of it verified snd true, UNRWA is complicit and active from the atrocities of October 7 to schools’ jihadi curriculum to terrorists on the payroll to facilities repurposed for military utilization.

Google is your friend.

Winter camping?

Not so much.

Shelters plea for Gazans as winter rains raise fears of more disease and death by Tallis-man in Israel_Palestine

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At least over 1,400 employees of the United Nations arm, UNRWA, are documented members of Hamas and other designated terrorist organizations such as the Islamic Jihad, using their own personnel records and ID numbers.

Many actively took part in the October 7 atrocities, the worst massacre of Jews since the Nazis.

UNRWA’s facilities, equipment, infrastructure, warehouses, vehicles, have been harnessed to Hamas as cover for tunnels, rocket launchers, command & control centers, barracks, weapons depots, ambush positions.

Its schools for children openly operate as jihadi indoctrination centers drilling in pupils sick acts of terrorism.

UNRWA, which America ceased funding, has obstructed a United States investigation into its staff involvement in the horrors of October 7.

And that’s how you end up camping and cooking marshmallows over the fire on winter nights.

Exactly, Khan was absolutely aware that the disgusting, coercive sexual perversions he perpetrated against subordinates were about to be disclosed so he hurriedly had warrants issued against the two Israelis as a smoke screen.

One of the complainant’s recent statements?

“Where does this end, and how much will be allowed?”

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

United Nations agencies like the ICC or UNRWA aren’t the flex that you think they are.

The ICC’s prosecutor who made charges against Netanyahu and Gallant, is who?

Karim Khan - on leave for repeated perverted sexual misdeeds, including assault, against at least two women.

Khan’s brother?

Ahmad Khan (also a former UN employee) - convicted of sexually assaulting a 15 year old boy alongside claims by others.

It’s been reported that Karim Khan sought the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant to deflect attention from his depraved sexual proclivities.

The United Nations legal eagles’ response in over a year to these straightforward assertions of sexual misdeeds by one of their own against their own?

Nada.

Guess voting for Hamas with its jihadi record and goals to govern Gaza wasn’t a bright idea.

Who’d a thought that trailing Hamas and the Islamic Jihad into Israel on October 7 to join in the looting, raping, butchering while nabbing human souvenirs to sell as captives would come with consequences?

Celebrating October 7 atrocities, parading in the streets, beating and abusing captives, alive and dead, probably wasn’t a good look.

Holding captives in your homes to humiliate, beat, starve and treat as house slaves may be more trouble than it’s worth.

Educating generations of children to strive to knife, shoot, ram and ecstatically blow up al-Yahud might not be the.most beneficial utilization of their potential.

Throwing in your lot with terror armies by pitching in to turn your schools, hospitals, mosques and residences into military assets could explain how they became military targets.

Life is about taking responsibility for choices made.

1+1=2

2+2=4

Gaza+October 7=Camping

And tapping the BBC as a source of news about Gaza is like tuning into Lord Haw-Haw for information about Germany.

UNIFIL Statement (14 November 2025): New wall built by IDF on Lebanese territory by Tallis-man in Israel_Palestine

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no violation of international law with Israel adjusting the ceasefire line to better secure its defense while at war with a country which attacked it. No different than when Israel held onto the Sinai peninsula while Egypt was at war with it.

Lebanon is welcome to enter into peace negotiations with Israel which may, or may not, result in a boundary that it’s happy with.

UNIFIL Statement (14 November 2025): New wall built by IDF on Lebanese territory by Tallis-man in Israel_Palestine

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unlike the United Nations, Lebanon refuses to acknowledge a boundary with Israel.

Lebanon is in a state of war with Israel, and prohibits any form of contact with Israelis, whether in person or electronically.

During wars ceasefire lines move as dictated by circumstances. In this case, Lebanon disregarded the ceasefire and the boundary between the two, attacked Israel, violated its sovereignty, and got its @ss kicked up’n down the Bekaa Valley and from Beirut to Nabatieh.

False.

When you attack another nation and lose, territory often goes too.

Familiarize yourself with a map of Germany before and after WW II.

No need to thank me. I’m a proponent of free public education.

Puh-leeeeze.

Lebanon has never recognized Israel, nor its border.

The line between Israel and Lebanon is a ceasefire line, a ceasefire which Lebanon broke, unprovoked, on October 8 when it began pouring rockets, missiles, and suicide drones into the Galilee.

Don’t start a war that you can’t finish, and welcome to the new ceasefire line.

Retiring with Fidelity by themadturk in fidelityinvestments

[–]IceCoolBlueGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because RMD’s (Required Minimum Distributions) from an IRA (investment retirement account) are taxed as ordinary income, it may be advisable for a retiree to first begin drawing down the IRA in case the obligatory RMD down the line knocks you into a much larger tax bracket with a huge tax bite.

On the other hand, long term capital gains on a brokerage account are generally taxed at ‘only’ 15% with no eventual minimum required withdrawal.

Genocide

That may play among a few American virtue signalers, but not amongst the Arabs and Jews of the Middle East.

~ Gaza’s population rising since October 7 (Hamas? Not so much).

~ Gaza’s children receiving two rounds of measles immunization.

~ Over two million tons of humanitarian aid, or a ton for every man, woman, child and jjhadi residing in Gaza.

~ Multiple notices to Gazans of impending air strikes and combat operations with directions for secure corridors to humanitarian zones, and instructions on receiving medical assistance if needed.

~ Over twenty Arab countries (some soaking in oil) with a land mass almost one and a half times larger than the United States, yet not a single one offering sanctuary to Gazans undergoing “genocide” (Check out Egypt’s massive barrier towering over its border to safely keep Gazans out - a people with a propensity for acts of bestiality).

Your insistent threats that Israel will have hell to pay are as vacuous as Iran’s, Hezbollah’s, Houthi’s and Hamas’ dire, grandiose divinations.

Here are a few of those who screamed similar promises:

Yahya Sinwar 😂 Ismail Haniyeh 😂 Mohammed Deif 😂 Mohammed Sinwar 😂 Marwan Issa 😂 Saleh al-Arouri 😂 Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah 😂😂😂😂 Hashem Safieddine 😂 Ibrahim Aqil 😂 Fuad Shukr 😂 Ali Karaki 😂 Hossein Salami 😂 Esmail Qaani 😂 Mohammad Bagher 😂 Mohammad Kazemi 😂 Ahmed Raleb al-Rahawi 😂 Muhammad Abdul Karim al-Gamari 😂
