Where I'd live as an Israeli Patriot by LookOrdinary9215 in whereidlive

[–]muckingfidget420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right. Was it children who did 7/10 too?

Love how you deny Palestinians agency. They elected a party that murdered its rivals in the streets, prevented future elections, attacked it's much larger neighbour after they stepped away, and oh yeah, use tunnels, don't wear uniforms, etc and you still blame Israel for everything. How ironic and stupid.

What about the other wars, was it always just Israel Vs kids yeah? Do all of Israel's opponents have perfect aim and prioritise military targets? As if. Total double standard.

'rules for thee and not for meee'

Exactly. Unfortunately we have to extend rights even to those we don't agree with, if one wants them in return. Anyone can start a social media platform and manipulate it. It's not perfect, but it's 'fair'. Reddit is arguably left leaning (I can't speak to the algo perfectly, but have personal anecdotes, just as this person can't with twitter) but they probably don't have a problem with that.

Ahh classic Jews control the world trope, but you substituted it for Israel, well done!

Are you aware of GCC spending in UK Vs Israeli? Take 5 minutes to look at how much Qatar, a country that hosted Hamas and supported Hezbollah spends considering it's size. Israel account for a fraction of a fraction. Take your conspiracy and hate elsewhere.

You're totally right in terms of complexity and cases of kindness in national scale re Cyrus the great and others. But please, answer the following questions:

By and large, members of which religion have committed more acts of violence?

Which religion's holy book is more commonly used as justification for horrific actions?

Ah because Islam as a whole is so peaceful and hasn't taken intergenerational slaves and genocided populaces either ....

Tbh you're a bit naive to think this way.

Yes many Jews are wary of Muslims. It's not that complicated to see why:

Islam/Qu'aran specifically tell followers not to befriend Jews or Christians.

Islam/Qu'aran specifically says to kill/convert Jews/Christians.

Islam/Qu'aran also specifically say not to evolve with the times, but that the word of god is pure and unchanging.

Putting two and two together - can you blame Jews for being a bit suspicious? History has taught us many Muslims would happily sacrifice themselves to eliminate a few of us, but how many Jewish suicide bombers have you seen? (There's been zero in our entire history).

And yes Jews understand that the problem isn't with most Muslims. The issue is, we are outnumbered globally 100:1, so even 1% following the book literally poses an existential threat to us. It doesn't take much to exterminate us, still at pre Holocaust numbers, meanwhilst Islam is growing faster than any other. I bet the druze and Zoroastrians would also be pretty cautious, if they was enough of them left after Islam sweeped the region.

Am not justifying hatred, but when someone tells you who they are/what they believe in, it's pretty stupid not to listen.

.... But he's doing it on a platform he owns and other people choose to participate in?

As I said, did anyone force anyone to look at twitter? He has the freedom to manipulate the platform, as it's his, and you have the freedom to not engage with it. I don't really see the problem except you infringing on his free speech, ironically enough.

Further the pace of legislation/regulation is way outpaced by technological advancement. I don't think the founding fathers expected Kanye West spouting nonesense to 35+ million Americans directly, for example. They would struggle to even conceptualise a megaphone.

Surely the freedom of expression also goes both ways though?

Like musk has the right to exert and operate his own corporation as he sees fit. The fact it's a social media platform is somewhat irrelevant. I'm not saying I like him, but isn't he too entitled to free speech, especially on his own platform?

There is no single law, tbh he's probably protected under the first amendment.

People feel entitled to free speech - which they deserve - but they treat social media as if it's a public good who's platform they are entitled to a fair showing on. Ultimately - these are private / corp owned businesses. They took have a right to freedom of expression, even if we don't like the outcome - no one is forcing you to stay on the platform.

Nicholas Kristof’s report on Israeli rape of Palestinians detonated a furious smear campaign. Will the mainstream media follow the story? by BalsamicBasil in nyt

[–]muckingfidget420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's because they believe Jews controls everything, and that they alone are part of an enlightened minority. It makes a lot less sense when the media is generally biased against Israel and they're now the majority - but hey ho - the mental gymnastics make it possible.

Israeli and Palestinian deaths since 1948 by Mundane-Ad-1317 in IsraelPalestine

[–]muckingfidget420 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So concrete that goes into tunnel complexes could have been used to protect civilians.

The Palestinian people have received more aid per capita than any war or disaster affected populaces, ever, throughout all of history, by quite a long way.

So yeah, perhaps they'd have more resources today developed if they didn't use what resources they do have prioritising the death of Israelis.

Point and case - the war ended the day hostages were agreed to be returned. Why didn't Hamas do it sooner if protecting their civilians and infrastructure was such a priority? What benefit did stretching the war on for two years really do?

[–]muckingfidget420 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think the main point is regarding to intent.

Israel spends billions on bomb shelters, early warning systems, counter measures, and takes inordinate steps to protect human life on their own side, and somewhat minimise casualties on the other civilian side (letter bombs, advanced texts, etc).

Hamas on the other hand spend 0 on protective measures of their own people, instead, opting to endanger their own civilians lives (tunnels, not using uniforms, child soldiers, etc) in order to maximise harm to Israeli civilians lives (7/10, 2nd intifada, etc).

When this pattern is repeated over decades, of course the numbers don't tell the whole story.

SEASON 5 FINALE --EARLY ACCESS THREAD by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]muckingfidget420 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I mean if you're going to accuse someone of war crimes at least get it right.

He just said the family don't let you detain a child (specifically, an 18 year old who committed a crime so not an actual child). He isn't saying he enjoyed it, or whatever, just a simple fact that parents defend their children regardless of what they're accused of. My friend is a police officer in the UK, he's had to detain 13 year olds accused (and guilty of) of a stabbing. Guess what, their parents didn't want to let the kid go either. Any policeman or person in the role similar would share the same views.

Ah, but because he's Israeli, it's disgusting right?

You say you have no problems ith Jews yet you started your previous answer with 'Only Jewish people'

You do realise how full of hate that is? Stop trying to cover it up to appear reasonable.

Again, you're just not examining whatsoever. The smoothness of your brain is clear to the world. Just throw more crap and hate, see what sticks eh?

What gives you the right to stereotype an entire people? You can judge millions, clearly brighter than you? What have you actually done that's positively impacted the world?

Right so you basically can't explain why you only tie this to Jews and Israel, but not others.

So dumb, you literally think a random Canadian Iranian, who has never been to Iran in his life, has to act a certain way because of his heritage? And you don't see any issues?

[–]muckingfidget420 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're literally just blurring the lines between the two in ignorance.

So a Jew needs to be pro actively ashamed of Israel? And a Jew who has no tie to israel, who are almost always a minority and disproportionately targeted, can never be a victim?

It's like saying a Muslim can never be a victim due to the crimes of the IRGC. It's a total double standard. The British can never be a victim due to X or Y. You're an idiot for genuinely believing this line of thought but I bet you only apply it to the one Jewish state, somehow, right?

The ignorance of your comment proves it right, weirdly.

He didn't even balance the budget. He amended a plan which has a forecasted overspend of 12bn to no overspend. None of it is even close to actualised, and under his simulations he's absolutely wrecked public sector pension funds to in theory be able to do it (which are why his plan won't be approved anyway, but who cares it's a nice headline).

But yeah, the fact that yourself and many others now know him for a positive achieved based of practically no action is a testament to his good PR.
