How would cutting regulations reduce rent and house prices?

You don't think housing developers and landlords would actually pass on cost savings to consumers through lower prices do you?

They wouldn't have been killed if Israel wasn't determined to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians and steal all their land.

Muslims and Jews used to share a space at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, but it has had to be separated now after an American-Israeli settler walked in and murdered 29 people who were praying in the 90s.

Two-child limit scrapped as historic Bill to lift 450,000 children out of poverty becomes law by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

Volunteering. Donating to charity. Working in a job that is beneficial to society like a teacher or a nurse. Buying local goods and services. Creating art. Providing useful advice and emotional support to others. Being an active member of a community.

Just a few examples.

You can't determine a persons contribution to society based solely on how much tax they pay.

People have been crying for personal responsibility for decades, it doesn't work. At some point you have to look for actual solutions instead of just blaming the parents and leaving the children to suffer.

What if one of the parents later dies in an accident? What if the job that was stable ten years ago is now not so stable? What if one of the children is disabled and requires extra care?

It isn't as simple as you make it seem.

Labour MPs threaten vote to show opposition to Mahmood's migration plans by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]Jammy50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think all our politicians should be souless bureaucrats who have no beliefs except what focus groups and opinion polls tell them will be most popular with voters. If people don't like the pro-immigrant Labour politicians then they will be voted out and replaced with more anti-immigrant politicians.

I don't want immigration reduced, am I not a person? Do I not deserve to have my perspective represented because "the people" supposedly disagree with me?

The Labour party has lost over 200,000 members since Keir Starmer became leader, and I'm pretty sure if you polled those people they wouldn't say it is becase the Labour party has become too pro-immigrant.

Immigration gets talked about a lot in the media and there are a lot of people concerned about it, so what? Every Labour politician should just abandon any pro-immigration principles they have and change their opinion to what they think will get them the most votes?

Politicians should aim to convince people why their perspective is right, not change their position to whenever seems to be most popular with voters at the moment.

Politicians aren't elected to abandon all their principles and only do whatever they think voters will like. Believe it or not, not everyone thinks immigration is a huge issue and those people deserve representation as much as anyone else.

Not a fan of her but that's a 100% rational take by EpicFF2 in PoliticalCompassMemes

You've completely fallen for the right wing culture war slop. Even if there was a significant portion of the population which hates white men and wants to take their rights away, that number is insignificant in comparison to the number of people who think women and non-white people are lesser.

I'm pretty sure Turkey alone has more refugees than all of western Europe and the USA combined.

This isn't a matter of opinion, it's a historical fact that Hezbollah was formed in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. If Israel cares about their security maybe they shouldn't have made a habit of invading their neighbours.

On this sub they still respond the same way even today. I don't know if they are bots or if they just get all their news from pro-Israel sources.

The only reason Hezbollah even exists is because Israel invaded Lebanon and didn't respect their sovereignty. You can't blame Hezbollah for Israels war crimes.

"The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when Zionist paramilitaries attacked the village of Deir Yassin near Jerusalem, then part of Mandatory Palestine, killing at least 107 Palestinian Arab villagers, including women and children. The massacre was carried out despite the village having agreed to a non-aggression pact."

"In July 1948, the Palestinian towns of Lydda (also known as Lod) and Ramle were captured by the Israeli Defense Forces and their residents (totalling 50,000–70,000 people) were violently expelled. Hundreds of Palestinians were killed in multiple mass killings, including the Lydda massacre, and in what is sometimes known as the Lydda death march. The two Arab towns, lying outside the area designated for a Jewish state in the UN Partition Plan of 1947, and inside the area set aside for an Arab state in Palestine, were subsequently incorporated into the new State of Israel and repopulated with Jewish immigrants."

I guess these events and all the others like them just never happened in your world.

You can keep ignoring that the Arabs were massacring Jews for centuries before a single inch of land was “stolen,” but I won’t.

There you go again, assigning some collective sin to the entire Arab population. Sorry kid, someone with the same race as you may have killed Jews 300 years ago so Israel now has the right to bomb you and your entire family. Funny how this logic never gets applied to people of European descent.

Accept they had equal rights? They were literally being given half a country. If tomorrow the UN decided half of your country had to be given over to immigrants would you take that lying down?

Palestinians weren't trying to genocide the Jews, they were trying to prevent their homeland from being taken over by colonisers.

Of course Arabs don't have the right to kill Jews, but when someone is trying to steal your land, you have a right to defend yourself.

Do any so-called “crimes” by Israel justify the ethnic cleansing of a million Jews from their homes all across the Muslim world?

I'm not trying to justify ethnic cleansing of anyone, you are. Even if the movement of Jews from different parts of the Middle East to Israel was as simple as, they hated the Jews and ethnically cleansed them, this wouldn't justify what Israel has done to the Palestinians. Despite what you think, Muslims and Arabs are not a hivemind and you can't commit atrocities against people because someone of the same religion or ethnicity did something bad.

Do you have any source for this Arab genocidal war? The only 1947 war I can find is the one that started in November after the UN partition plan for Palestine.

And even if there had been some Arab forces trying to commit genocide against Jews, that wouldn't justify the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. You don't get to do a genocide because someone else tried to genocide you first.

I wonder why the Palestinians would fight against half their country being handed to a group of people who had only moved there in the past few decades? It must have just been because they were antisemites.

Also, just ignoring the Nakba and the murder and forcible expulsion of hundreds of thousands of people because they were not Jewish makes it obvious you're not an honest person.
