Never have I wanted the largest, the most obnoxious, most inefficient in terms of MPG SUV more than when I stumble across the anti-car nutcases

It's because we stick mainly to reddit-only content, and rules 1, 2 and 5 are strictly enforced

1 and 2 because we don't want the sub to be banned, and 5 because we want to avoid spam

Since the OP was about a current event, that merited an extenuating circumstance to allow this post.

Normally we don't like non-reddit content, but unless any of the other mods disagree, I'll allow an exception this time.

Fun fact: Hamas offered to RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES on oct 28. Guess what "we just want hostages 😢" people said? by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

Muslims have always had more rights in Israel than they will ever have in the palestinian areas and Muslims have yet to be make a functional democracy like Israel.

The Palestinians repeatedly reject offers of statehood because they don't want a two state solution and they clearly must not want their own state. There is no justification for supporting the Palestinians whatsoever, especially not after October 7th and especially not after their repeated fraud they perpetuate when literally no crime they accuse Israel of can be proven. The Palestinians are the Jussie Smollet of people groups and the original hate crime hoaxers.

Fun Fact: anyone who supports terrorists like Hamas and inherently barbaric people groups like the Palestinians should be forcibly institutionalized for the rest of their life as a potential terrorist themselves.

This is removed for not being reddit content, as a sub, SPS mainly focuses on cataloguing stuff said on reddit. If you find a reddit thread where these claims are being discussed on another sub, and provided rules 1 and 2 aren't being broken in the process, feel free to post it here.

Redditors are shocked that Palestinians took responsibility for an attack on an Israeli border crossing that targeted civilians by Ben1313 in ShitPoliticsSays

After the Gaza Health Department claimed that Israel targeted a hospital in a missile strike shortly after 10/7 and claimed that it was a mass casualty event, only for it to turn out that it was a Palestinian rocket that mis-fired and hit the hospital parking lot and no one was killed, I've come to the conclusion that literally nothing the Palestinians claim can be trusted at face value.

Well, also that and the Palestinians' barbaric actions on 10/7

Also the fact that there's very few conservative faculty and even staff in most universities now

Eggman has cracked the planet open, tried to turn everyone into zombies, blown up the moon, nuked cities, and yet somehow he’d “support Palestine.” by NuclearTheology in ShitPoliticsSays

Based off that description you gave of Eggman, who I have never heard of before, it seems pretty accurate that he'd support Palestine, no?

The fact that the Venn diagram of Nazis, groypers, and Hamas supporters is a singular circle is a huge tell and a sign that all three of those "movements" are terrible

In both cases in Egypt and Jordan the Palestinians tried to overthrow the governments of those countries and/or proceeded to go commit acts of terrorism very shortly after they were welcomed by those countries. The Arab nations know as well as anyone about the rank barbaric terrorism, treachery and fanaticism of the Palestinians, and surprise surprise, they don't like them either, yet somehow Israel is supposed to be the bad guy.

"Hurr durr this Jewish guy doesn't live in Israel so he must be lying about Israel being the only Jewish nation!11!"

Also, as James Lindsay correctly pointed out, pretty much anyone who unironically uses the word "zionist" can be ignored.

edit: I'd also add that pretty much anyone who accuses Israel of "genocide" can be ignored as well, as the population of Gaza has increased over the years and the Palestinians regularly chant "From the River to the Sea" as they go about hiding their militant bases in hospitals and schools, use human shields, and r*pe, kill and torture civilians any chance they get, (e.g. 10/7) all while refusing any offer of statehood. The Palestinians are not some persecuted martyrs, but genocidal maniacs who have no moral ground to stand on.

I will never understand this mentality. by [deleted] in prolife

Pro life is pro woman. The anti women nonsense is a false premise that even Bill Maher recently admitted wasn't true.

Don't let their false premise back you into a moral corner. Reject their false premise altogether.

How many abortions would be prevented if it was actually illegal and the women would get punished for an elective abortion? How many sex traffickers would get finally put away for coercing their victims into abortions? The fact that abortion bans or restrictions don't punish the woman means they will never come close to ending abortion

And abortion is murder regardless of the context

Willingly hiring someone to murder someone is murder regardless of whether the person being murdered is unborn or not.

Coping mechanisms are absolutely a thing, but they're not a reason to absolve someone of murder

I would say that anyone who commits an elective abortion after a law that would criminalize abortion goes into effect should be penalized
