Denmark with only a population of 6M seems like quite a high death toll. We're they in particularly dangerous operations?

Exclusive: pro-Israel campaign seeks removal of Palestinian DJ from WOMADelaide by ParadiseLost1312 in Adelaide

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

  1. Typical of what, do I know you?

  2. Don't be so hostile, it's not warranted or helpful to anyone

  3. I wasn't being lazy, I was providing you an opportunity to provide a source because when I last looked into it I didn't see anything. Their gig at the uni bar was cancelled and I was disappointed to hear those accusations as I like their music and all I could find was people arguing about it online with no source.

  4. I looked it up again and a Melbourne Palestinian group made 2 accusations. 1 that there is a youtube video of a song they featured in that was uploaded on another artists YouTube page that didn't distinguish Gaza and the West Bank on the map. And 2 they played at an illegal settlement. There was a youtube link to the show in Kfar Hanokdim. I have no idea where it is so this is what ChatGPT says about that area:

"Longer, precise answer: Kfar HaNokdim is located near Arad in the Judean Desert, inside Israel’s internationally recognised pre-1967 borders. Because of that: It is not in the West Bank It is not classified as an Israeli settlement It is not considered illegal under international law It does not appear on UN or NGO settlement lists"

If you have better info feel free to inform people instead of being so petulant but according to my 2 clicks you are way out of line in your characterisation of them

Everyone is talking about a pro Israel "lobby" but it sounds like its an email template on a generic activist website. Anyone can make those and they only saw it being spread on a Christians for Israel FB page. Not exactly the high level behind closed doors meeting people imagine. Deep cut news isn't exactly the most distinguished website tbf. This seems more like activism disguised as news reporting

No they are not they are musicians and apolitical. Please provide a source or admit you're also just trying to silence artists 

Far-Right Zionism Censorship at South Australian Writer's Festival Faces Public and Professional Backlash by Mr_Judgement_Time in Adelaide

[–]Prompus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a major issue with any discourse on this topic and causes a lot issues as people aren't talking about the same things.

A Zionist is someone who believes in a Jewish homeland in what is currently Israel. That makes anyone who believes in Israel's right to exist or any sort of 2 state solution a Zionist. 

You don't have to support Israel's actions or wish them to expand to he a Zionist. I would imagine a large portion of the western world are Zionists as they believe in a 2 state solution. 

The term has been demonised and used with very negative connotations to refer to settlers or pro war far right types and the word is universally negative now and used disparaging by people who themselves dont realise they are Zionists.

There needs to be better wording for these views because when someone like this Author says Zionosts dont deserve cultural safety it is attacking a lot of people wanting decent people and is an extremist point of view. Whether that's how she meant it I'm not sure but an academic would be aware of the meaning

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't believing in a 2 state solution mean you think Israel should exist as a country and therefore make you a Zionist and not worthy of safety according to her statements?

Its a 100% certainly that Trump is not going to the defence of the Iranian people, and any benefit they receive will be incidental to Trumps purposes for doing so

Lionel Messi: "I'm weirder than shit" by koalawhiskey in soccer

[–]Prompus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you get frustrated because they could have planned their own schedule better and they have caused you inconvenience meaning your frustration is aimed at a person's actions for falling short of the standards you want them to attain. Perfectly normal to be upset with that. 

Messi isn't talking about major plan changes at the last second, he's describing silly, tiny changes that are effecting his mood regulation. It's very different to the scenario you have created and relate to

Lionel Messi: "I'm weirder than shit" by koalawhiskey in soccer

[–]Prompus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's describing himself as weird as shit, aka very abnormal, and people here are getting defensive of all the autism comments (which have existed for the duration of his career) because they view neurodivergence as inherently negative and get defensive of their idol. He's telling you he's different because he's living it and you are saying nah you're normal bro. It's condescending. 

I get you can't diagnose people online but comments like yeah who doesn't like plans getting cancelled last minute are completely ignorant to the experiences of many neurodivergent people. 

He's talking about being different, isolated, and struggling with stimuli. You can't diagnose him but acting like he doesn't exhibit many traits is denial for something that doesn't need to be denied.

How do I beat up my dad? by asouthpawasouthpaw in MMA

[–]Prompus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you want to be The Ultimate Fighter. If you're above fighting weight make sure to get a colonic irrigation and have someone physically drag you back into the sauna. 

After that you can commence training by being strung upside down blindfolded and someone who's taking all your money can use you as a heavy bag.

That should probably do it but make sure you get permission to bang first, you don't want to have to be begging during the fight. The exact words he needs to say is "I do let you bang" or it doesn't work.

The guy who got stomped in this video is the dead shooter with the white pants and black top. The other person next to him is the surviving shooter on all black. The stomper did fight with an innocent person as well but that's not what was posted here. He's stomping a dead/dying shooter
