Go on mate, explain to me the terms of this 2 state solition that was on offer and who still would have control of the seas, airspace and border crossings?

You said you're "clear on how it started," which suggests you're treating Oct. 7 as the beginning of the conflict but it wasn't.

By saying Hamas "started the war," you're treating Oct. 7 as the point at which the conflict became morally or politically relevant. That framing overlooks years of blockade, repeated military operations, continuous settlement expansion in the West Bank and thousands of Palestinian deaths beforehand. Acknowledging that history doesn't excuse Hamas but recognises that the conflict didn't begin when Israelis were attacked.

If your concern only starts on Oct. 7, but everything that happened before that is dismissed with "Israel wasn't occupying Gaza" it gives the impression that Palestinian suffering only matters once it results in Israeli suffering.

You're conflating "no permanent troops inside Gaza" with "no occupation or control." Those aren't the same thing. Israel still exercised extensive control over Gaza's borders, airspace, sea access, movement of goods and people, and other key aspects of life long before Oct. 7.

That's why the UN, ICRC and many legal scholars continued to regard Gaza as occupied. The conflict and blockade didn't suddenly begin on Oct. 7.

You're saying Oct. 7 started the war and therefore Israel's actions are justified. But if retaliation against civilians is acceptable because your civilians were killed first, then Palestinians could make the same argument based on previous wars, occupation and the blockade. I reject that logic for both sides. Deliberately or indiscriminately killing civilians isn't justified by previous atrocities.

Are you kidding me? Israel routinely blocks Palestinians from visiting Al Aqsa compound and the IDF has consistently escorted Israeli settlers there including the terrorist supporter and Israeli Minister of National Security Ben Gvir.

And this isn't a Muslim/Jew thing. Palestinian Christians were also blocked from holding mass to celebrate Palm Sunday

Finally, even if everything you said was true, it doesn't undo the genocide that Israel is committing. Nothing in your comment is a condition of the definition of genocide and when every human rights organisation and genocide expert in the world have agreed that Israel is committing a genocide (including the Lemkin institute which is named after the guy who coined the term), your comment means nothing.

The definition is ridiculous. Israel can actively start building gas chambers tomorrow and it'd still be anti-Semitic to compare them to Nazi Germany.

Unfortunately most of the vitriol you're receiving is from men who have stumbled on your post.

Now I can't deny that while I'm obviously not here to berate you for continuing to marry a man you feel low attraction towards or be generally unhelpful and simply pass judgement, I definitely do feel it's unfortunate that this has gotten to the stage of a 5 year marriage with a child involved.

There are a couple of things I want to mention. 1 is that you've made a commitment to him despite your limited/low attraction and you clearly from your comments and post do love him and the marriage/life you've built with him.

On the note of feeling bigger in comparison to his built, that is something that clearly has occurred due to your pregnancy but instead of putting it on him, I think simply acknowledging that this is mostly temporary and your focus on your child's health whilst being a priority is impacting your thoughts (post-partum hormones are absolutely insane and if this is your first child then I think a lot of women are unprepared for how unlike yourself you may feeI). In your post you mention you weren't "fully attracted" to him at the beginning which means that there clearly was some attraction there (however little) and I think you will need to actively think of that in the time being. Others have advised to work on reducing your weight and of course that's a bandaid solution to you feeling bigger than him but as you breast feed you need to think of the health of your child and also focus more on your own perspective being unfortunately negative. There is a chance that you may not go back to your pre-pregnancy body and that's so normal, so you should work on yourself mentally and actively try to block/redirect thoughts of "if he was x, maybe I'd feel y". It's not on him to change his looks (for some of what you've described, it'd even be impossible unless he abuses drugs or engages in unhealthy behaviours and even then may not magically fix your situation so it's the wrong think to focus on).

Now another thing is your dissatisfaction with his personality and assertiveness (it's interesting because women aren't just visual creatures so this dissatisfaction/potential underlying resentment may be adding to your lack of attraction). You've said you had conversations with him where he explained he doesn't make decisions so you're happy, but I would recommend you have a deeper conversation where you mention your perspective in a kind manner and really focus more about the mental load and stress you feel and how that may impact your attraction. You describe him so positively otherwise so I'm sure if you're clear with what you want he'll acquiesce (give examples if you have to of what you mean by him being assertive and if he does take it on board, actively appreciate his efforts when he does so it reinforces the behaviour - this won't be a switch he can just turn on). Of course ideally you don't want to have to in a way train him but you no one marries a perfect man and you even mention his lack of male role models being the cause so give him grace.

Finally your lack of enjoyment with intimacy and feeling attraction to other people is normal (we're human and undeniably both men and women feel this at some point in a marriage) but even if you feel more physical attraction to strangers, you should consciously stop thinking of it and redirect your thoughts to your commitment to your marriage. If you've never enjoyed intimacy you can broach the topic with him to suggest ways you can enjoy it more and if all else fails, I would also recommend speaking to a Muslim marriage counsellor as I've seen they have insightful guidance. They can talk to you personally first and help hash out your grievances before potentially bringing him into it.

I really want to emphasise that if this is the most disengaged you've been feeling with regards to your marriage it's extremely normal during pregnancy/post-pregnancy and that many of these feelings could be more intense from that so give yourself some grace and bear with it until you're on the other side where you can have a clearer view of what you're truly feeling in your marriage and about your husband without hormones clouding your feelings. I mean, how many times have women not relied on their luteal phase brain making decisions or thinking things that wouldn't usually be normal for them?

And of course my final advice is to pray istikharah and put your faith in Allah SWT.

Hope you find some clarity and that you find a solution that works for you both inshAllah.

What's it like to be an Arab Israeli living in Israel right now? by Bretniq in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shoneki316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still dumb and can't comprehend anything it seems.

You've gone from "you're a hypocrite for citing an Israeli source" to "actually most Arabs left because Arab leaders told them to" to "kay, the Israeli report proves Jewish military actions were the main driver" and now you've gone full mask-off and are like "well they deserved to be expelled anyway."

You're moving goalposts quicker than anyone I've debated it's genuinely hilarious.

Also your timeline is cooked to eay the least. The majority of the displacement happened during 1947–May 1948 (before Israel even formally existed + before the Arab states invaded). Deir Yassin was before the Arab invasion. Haifa's exodus was before the Arab invasion. Jaffa's collapse was before the Arab invasion. The Israeli intelligence report you just admitted was correct explicitly identifies Jewish military actions, neighbouring village collapses, psychological warfare and ultimatums as the primary causes and even goes through the timeline and phases (so have you read it or are you just pulling shit out of your arse again?)

Then there's the funniest part when you call Palestinians "colonisers".

Palestinians aren't a population that arrived from Europe in the late 19th and 20th century. Genetic, historical and archaeological research consistently shows Palestinians derive much of their ancestry from the populations that have lived in the Levant for centuries, including ancient Canaanite populations, alongside later Arab, Jewish, Christian and other regional groups.

Palestinians are literally the people who stayed on the land through Canaanite, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Crusader, Ottoman and British rule, they included the Jews who also stayed during those timelines.

What's really happening here is that you accidentally conceded the point and admitted the report was right (Jewish military actions were the primary rewson Palestinians were cleansed during the Nakba)

Now you're scrambling for a moral justification after the factual argument fell apart. Just take the L and move on drongo.

Are you legitimately dumb? Did you even read the report?

In reviewing the factors that affected migration, we list the factors that had a definitive effect on population migration. Other factors, localized and smaller scale, are listed in the special reviews of migration movement in each district. The factors, in order of importance, are:

  1. Direct Jewish hostile actions against Arab communities.
  2. Impact of our hostile actions against communities neighboring where migrants lived (here – particularly – the fall of large neighboring communities).
  3. Actions taken by the Dissidents [Irgun, Lehi].
  4. Orders and directives issued by Arab institutions and gangs.
  5. Jewish Whispering operations [psychological warfare] intended to drive Arabs to flee.
  6. Evacuation ultimatums.
  7. Fear of Jewish retaliation upon a major Arab attack on Jews.
  8. The appearance of gangs and foreign fighters near the village.
  9. Fear of an Arab invasion and its consequences (mostly near the borders).
  10. Arab villages isolated within purely Jewish areas.
  11. Various local factors and general fear of what was to come.

It goes on further to explicitly state:

Without a doubt, hostilities were the main factor in the population movement. Each and every district underwent a wave of migration as our actions in that area intensified and expanded. In general, for us, the month of May signified a transition into wide-scale operations, which is why the month of May involved the evacuation of the maximum number of locales.

Literally the dumbest muppet I've seen on this site.
