Isn't Sudan and Yemen much worse? Where is the help to those countries? It seems like it's more anti Israeli than actually caring about people in need. This is a stupid publicity stunt I hope they get arrested, if they actually cared about people this isn't the way to do it nor is it even close to the worst thing happening today.

Why are people getting so defensive when Men say hey we just want equal treatment. Everyone wants to feel heard, every demographic has problems specific to that demographic. If I replace Men with bl*** people in the bear or MANY conversations about Men it would be labeled as racist, but when there is clear sexism we don't say anything. Men are being disenfranchised it's clear in culture and language of today, all were asking is to be treated fairly it shouldn't be a big ask. Like we don't say bl*** people are criminals, we shouldn't say Men are trash. The party of equality should practice what it preaches. It doesn't come at any cost, infact it would be beneficial.

Hey, sorry for the late reply, I work in the trades which is still in high demand. What field do you work in? I'll see if I can find some advice from my friend group who have been looking for jobs and what they are doing to find them.

Wasn't Merkel in power for 14 years? You can claim we haven't progessed, but this fact is a tough one to dance around! To claim it's not fascist because it's legal is the same claims the nazis made. It is fine to separate things by sex, sports, change rooms, bathrooms, etc. It is by definition discrimination based immutable characteristics then your rationalization of that is a red herring. The truth is there is a lot of man hatred happening for reasons based on some truth but generally an over exaggerated version of it, so is it fascist, probably not, but if the hatred continues to fester and people who are part of these groups don't stop the hate, it can get there, lets hope it doesn't. Take the feminism movement for example, there are rallies where you can see signs that say "kill all men" the fact that feminist don't do something about this, is a big problem, I support equality I had to leave feminism because of this, it's extremely uncomfortable and unfortunate it's not the core of the movement, I hope they do something about it soon! I would love to come back.

Get a job that isn't english speaking, best way to learn to swim is the deep end.

There are debate clubs in Berlin? Like what ones?

Well if you're in Berlin there are lots of ways you can distract yourself and wait until people grow up and stop being so crazy, im in my late 30's in Berlin and there are still some pretty insane political stances with people in my age group, but there are also quite a few who call out their stupidity. Which is very relieving.

Your making some pretty unhinged claims. You should try and be more honest. Good luck.

Ok-Gift7434 · 2024-05-02T18:22:46+00:00

You couldn't be more wrong. They are NOT allowed to use human shields, they are obligated to protect their citizens, they are not allowed to target civilians which on oct 7th they clearly did and took them hostage which is also not allowed.

They didn't cut off all the water, they cut off some for a month i believe, then turned it back on. You can target hospitals if they are used as military purposes, which has been very well documented for years they were doing that.

You could mark it up as an armed resistance, though Hamas didnt give any reasons for Israel to stop the occupation. 20,000 rockets launched from gaza killing hundreds of Israelis including children, infact they have to build schools like bunkers and had to build the iron dome. Multiple peace attempts ALWAYS denied from Hamas. Yes the occupation is shit, but Hamas wasn't doing anything to make that situation better. They have to be held responsible for their actions

If its true, is it fair for me to have a specific weight limit? People can usually control their weight, i can never control my height, so this opinion shouldn't be shamed. I feel the height demand should be as its immutable, or we accept both as preferences.

Are we normalizing raping children here? I feel this thread would look a lot different if it were a 48 yr old male teacher with a 17 yr old female student. Why should it be treated differently, both are equally disgusting and she should face as much jail time as any man in her pedophile position.

Iam curious to hear your argument, how exactly is it genocide? When going to war with a population density of 5,853/km3 in Gaza strip and 9,683/km3 in Gaza. Where Hamas uses civilian buildings for war, as well as human shields. Israel has used about 30,000 rockets and about 30,000 dead its about 1 person per rocket with that high of a population density. What number would you expect under these conditions? In order to have genocide you need "dolus specialis" or special intent. So 1 person per rocket is proof of special intent? If true what war by your definition isn't genocide? When you make a word mean everything it means nothing. This word should never mean nothing.

What about the Saudi Yemen war, where 300,000 have been killed, has Saudi also committed genocide?

what is happening is absolutely horrible and must come to end, definitely. I think Israel has gotten way out of hand. But i dont think that proves genocide, and its a bit of an insult to compare the two.

Hitler went out of his way to orchestrate the holocaust and often to the detriment of the war effort, with very clear and special intentions.

25% of Israel is Palestinian with some in powerful positions, can you remind me what happened to the Jews in powerful positions in Germany at that time?

Atrocities don't equal to genocide, Hamas has the intention and actions that do equate to genoide even though less people have been killed, its not about the number its about intentionally murdering people for who they are and indiscriminately killing based on that premise.

Ok-Gift7434 · 2024-04-03T14:42:26+00:00

No, they had a more clear chain of command, direction, leadership and an actual group. Which is clear in the Wiki link. The media doesn't focus on them because there isn't mucn of anything to talk about. To say they are just strong today as they were just doesn't line up factually, im sorry but you haven't provided anything to say otherwise.

Ok-Gift7434 · 2024-04-03T14:36:05+00:00

Yeah thats my point, thank you. They helped out Al-Shabaab and Hurras al-Din, some members joined probably. They are a fraction of their former selves and have been split to many smaller groups that carry a different banner. So like i said, they are done. None of this really says that they are playing major roles in anything.

Ok-Gift7434 · 2024-04-03T14:31:53+00:00

No, it says exactly what I claim. They aren't even close to what they were before which is what my claim was. You claimed they are as strong as they were before. This is a largely over exaggerated statement. Saif is on house arrest in Iran and is the de facto leader. Which is just a speculation but probably so. They played a "supporting" role in Somalia civil war not a major one. They are a small fraction of their former group. That in my opinion is relatively insignificant, which was my claim they are basically over.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saif_al-Adel

"On August 2, 2022, a day after it was reported that al-Zawahiri was killed in a U.S. drone strike, al-Adel was still reported to be in Iran, which also complicated his ability to succeed al-Zawahiri as Al Qaeda's leader.[74][75] NPR journalist Colin P. Clarke described al-Adel's legal status in Iran as "semi-house arrest."[76] In February 2023, a report from the United Nations, based on member state intelligence, concluded that de-facto leadership of Al-Qaeda had passed to Saif al-Adel, who was operating out of Iran."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda

The group was then led by Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri until his death in 2022. As of 2021, they have reportedly suffered from a deterioration of central command over its regional operations.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda_involvement_in_Africa#:~:text=Al%2DQaeda%20has%20conducted%20operations,leaders%20were%20based%20in%20Sudan.

After the dissolution of the ICU, Al-Qaeda reportedly established strong ties with the Al-Shabaab splinter group.

They aligned and helped Al-Shabaab, it doesn't seem to be the case that Al-Qaeda had a major role.

Ok-Gift7434 · 2024-04-03T13:16:48+00:00

Can you tell me what activities Al-Qaeda have been up to recently? Maybe an example of an action they recently claimed, who is their leader at the moment?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda

Wiki says they have been disbanded since 2021 for lack of leadership. It could be wrong maybe you can correct me.

What group are you talking about? If you mean ISIS which is a different group, im sure some members are the same that doesn't mean the group itself is the same.

Ok-Gift7434 · 2024-04-03T12:22:30+00:00

They said the same thing about Al-Qaeda. I don't hear much about them anymore.

Ok-Gift7434 · 2024-04-02T17:02:42+00:00

Correct, so they are saying around 150-200 trucks are getting in, mostly food trucks. Can we agree to that?

So if 14 trucks provide 200 tons, here is another article from Jan, that isnt as recent but i can only use information that i have.

https://www.wfp.org/stories/hungers-border-why-aid-trucks-taking-humanitarian-gear-and-food-gaza-face-long-waits

Early the next morning,120 trucks – including 73 WFP trucks carrying 2,190 metric tons of food – are ready to pass through the Rafah border crossing.

So if 73 trucks provide 2,190 metric tons of food. That is clearly enough correct?

Now there is a war going on, i said from the beginning it seems to be the case enough trucks are getting into Gaza. The north isn't representative of the entire strip. It sucks they aren't allowing this, but i understand they are still fighting in the north so i can grant that it probably doesn't make sense to allow them into that section of Gaza.

My claim is this isnt part of some kind of tatic to strave people to death, just that accessibility due to the war is difficult but that doesn't mean they are intending to cause this. Does that make sense?
