I actually have one of those stupid degrees.
Jokes on you, I was an expert all along
I'm not going to get into the internal politics of the UN or the shit track record when it comes to accuracy that the activist wing has. Fact is you and me both know you can find a source that says anything you want. It's irrelevant and boring on top of that. I'm not doing homework for you.
I gave you a couple paragraphs explaining my reasoning. Now if you want to talk about that then fine
Half a million other experts on the internet.
I said my bit, look up what's in it yourself.
And I have good reason to believe they are wrong. 😊
The rate of bombing in Gaza has drastically slowed compared to the opening stages of the war. Israel can be accused of being too blase about civilian death, but there is no evidence of systematic attempts to eradicate the Arab population entirely. I have yet to see any credible evidence of anything but Israel having a disturbing willingness to kill 10 to get 1, if you get me. That's horrific enough, you don't need to exaggerate it by calling it genocide. There's plenty of legitimate enough concerns about Israel's bombing campaign without resorting to sensationalism.
Huge, huge, difference between not caring if you hit the next building by accident in an otherwise precise airstrike, and rounding up and killing them all. You should account for the inherent destructiveness of modern urban warfare also. Go on google earth and look at what the Russians did to cities in East Ukraine. Just because something is horrible, tragic, awful, doesn't make it a genocide. It is impossible to fight a war against an entity like Hamas and not have innocent people hit in the crossfire. Israel is in an unwinnable position in that sense. It either lets hamas terrorize it's population, or it fires back and risks killing innocent people.
It's a complex situation is what I'm getting it. Let's not pretend it's anything else to suit some juvenile good/bad narrative
There's been no evidence of genocide. I have plenty of criticisms of the Israeli government, and if you were arguing it's indiscriminate you'd have a point. But genocide? No. We don't call Hiroshima a genocide and that was far worse than what's happening in Gaza. We don't call Dresden a genocide. We don't call shock and awe in Iraq a genocide.
Words have meaning.
But I thought you had google, the fountain of truth?
Hezbollah are violent jihadists. They want to kill most people. Again, not a matter of debate. Get over it.
It was also a correct thing to say.
Anyway, no shit a military occupation sucks. If your solution is jihadism, rape, and murder than fuck you. Israel does plenty of fucked up shit. They still shouldn't let themselves and their people die to placate fanatics and their useful idiots in the west
That's nice. You posted bullshit, I called it bullshit. I'm sure on your super deep and intricate google search you encountered proof of everything I said. Go look again.
Your opinions on Israel don't matter. Hezbollah are, again, violent jihadists. Fuck them. They want to kill me. Why would I kiss their ass like you do?
Literally nothing that has happened in the west Bank justifies what happened on 10/7. That was just sheer face to face animalism from hamas
In "a few minutes of googling" I could find anything, that really doesn't mean anything. Needless to say reputable information does exist, and you are currently not posting it.
Again, since the 80s. Trying to claim Hezbollah are anything but violent jihadists is friggin laughable.
I'm not going to bore everyone reading this and try to teach you media literacy.
It's a complex, multifaceted, situation. What is not complex or multifaceted is Hezbollahs actions. They just straight up shoot rockets at innocent people. Cmon, man. Nobody benefits from you trying to convince me, yourself, or anybody reading this that they're a bunch of secular progressive angels. They're not. Like it's not an opinion.
Dude, stop posting no-name propaganda sites like they are a source.
Fact is Hezbollah has been around since the 80s. They started as a Shia islamist militia that committed numerous atrocities during Lebanons Civil War. IT then entrenched itself in souther Lebanon and has been engaging in violence against all manner of groups since then. Including civilians. They've been rocketing residential Israeli neighborhoods for a year
We know what they are and what they believe, we know what they do, and we know why they do it. Nasrallahs lies a worth nothibg, we know what he was. Don't play dumb. A "single state" is code for an Islamic theocracy. They use the language of westerner human rights ideology to fool people like you, and it evidently works
A TV poll is a nothing burger
The reality is whenever this gets brought up in public the conservatives win. This is why liberals almost always avoid giving yes or no answers in public (no really, watch the debate later. Tim Walz will give not a single meaningful policy specific. Why? Because Americans hate that shit and he knows it)
A lot of leftists think anybody of a more moderate disposition than Mao must naturally be a republican
It's insane
Kamala is a moderate progressive. I fail to see the problem with incremental reform.
Not trying to come off like a prick, but it is true most leftists I speak to really don't understand how unpopular they are with most of the voting public. We live in a largely conservative country, and that includes a lot of liberals. Most people have a viscerally negative reaction to 90% of what comes out of the far left, never mind when it comes to voting
You live in a grimdark dystopia with no hope. Your choices are shit or slightly more manageable shit. Pick one
There is no other option.
You mean the guy who lost twice in the primaries?
If you're too weak to beat Hilldog you'll never win against the GOP
Let me put it this way: the kind of idiot voting for Stein is not a big enough demographic that they're worth pissing off everyone else
If they would OTHERWISE vote dem maybe. But you clearly don't give a shit and never considered that a possibility anyway. The dems will never find a candidate to satisfy everyone, never mind an otherwise irrelevant fringe of socialist college students
