Would be ok with me if the US fund hamas and train their army the same as Israel. Notable that Biden is quiet on the subject despite global protests.

You want the US to train an organization whose only goal is to wipe out the israelis, USA's most powerful ally in the middle east region? Biden needs to take a lot of LSD for that to happen...
Not sure if you're serious
I find it bizarre that this is how a country is communicating. One for the hypernormalization thread
Trump 101. Stupid people go mad for this kind of thing.
It's quite crazy how governments and high-ranking officials have been acting online in the last couple of years. Un-classy, un-sophisticated, almost childlike.
It probably resonates with people who support the Israeli side.
Then we're going in circles, because it's nonsense based on nothing in history. It's ignorant shite if anything.
Also not sure what you're trying to say in your second sentence (the second bolded bit).
You might be right, but I think if someone with whom I agreed on an issue wanted to talk about it or draw attention to it, I’d hope for something a little more sophisticated than a “look at these emojis”.
It certainly plays to the intellectually deficient.
So Hamas are also hiding in the only covid testing lab too?
Isn't this all a bit too convenient? People still buying this?

Petition to change @shamans name to Gehrmana por favor
I would've thought it should be Gehrmans. In any case, Gehrman appears to not like the new self-requested name he's now stuck with.
Dunno, but "graphics" tend to be effective. When people thought it ment something else it was evil. Then stupid. For others it might give rise to sympathy, or anger. Either way..
They are digging and whitewashing the history of the other side, not to mention history itself. The intent imo is not important (they are doing it for a variety of reasons) - The destruction of history for greed is what matters.
Eg this:
This is a great if a little outdated entry article on it: https://www.haaretz.com/st/c/prod/eng/2016/05/jeruz/01/
Note, most of Israel has ancient tunnels; there's so much to see. It's like one huge Orvieto.
My mistake so.
Why would he?
Shame... I quite liked the shamans/shamana confusing conversations.
...what?
Good speech
Think you’re thinking of Jon Stewart
Okay so this is mostly directed towards posters who have been here for ages, but is it the case now that these threads are way more pro-Palestinian than they used to be? I seem to remember when I joined there used to be heated debate and a sizeable contingent on both sides.
Have pro-Israeli posters stopped posting, have more pro-Palestinian posters joined, or has there been a shift in viewpoints? Or a combination of these?

Another 24 to 48 hours apparently
Mirrored with the left and right leaning change to the place in general.
Wise words. Thanks for sharing.
Well I guess enough damage is done for him to have a change of heart now.
Its more or less always been like this. Two or three people who support the Israeli view and everyone else is on the Palestinian side. The only difference between now and the 2014 war is that social media is more entrenched in terms of more users, which means greater outrage when bad things happen. Same concept applies to other events like George Floyd, mass shootings and just about every other negative event.
ah for feck sake
Ireland couldn’t be any less like Israel if it tried. Poster is just barely scratching the surface but you have to admire someone trying to make Israel sound like it’s in an actual war. It’s been check mate for such a long time but Israel won’t let Palestine walk away because then Israel would have to stop stealing their land, homes and natural resources. If hamas said they were disbanding tomorrow Israel would still treat Palestine exactly the same until they come under enough external pressure to actually stop the apartheid. There will be no extra freedoms or peace if it’s left up to Israel to decide. They are trying to wipe them out and take anything of any value away from them before anyone has the balls or stupidity to intervene and they are totally succeeding in front of our eyes live on tv and laughing about it. It’s just crazy.
Not taking into account the last week...
373,000 children in Gaza need psychological support.
73% of all Gazans require food aid to survive.
200+ schools in Gaza were destroyed by the Israelis in 2014.
The people of Gaza have access to electricity between 3-4 hours each day, which severely impacts their lives.
97% of the natural water found in Gaza is unsafe to drink due to pollutants and lack of electricity.
95% of children in Gaza are traumatised, malnourished and / or suffer severe depression.
In wider Palestine -
Israel detain between 500-700 children each year.
20 years in prison sentences for throwing stones.
76.4% of children are physically assaulted.
98% are not told a reason for arrest.
On average, they spend 10-29 days in solitary confinement.

The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan, which all recently normalised ties with Israel, now find themselves balancing their new relationships against citizens who have been vocal in their anger at Israel’s violence.
Long-time observers of Israel and Palestine say the divergent reactions to this round of fighting have put some regional powers in a difficult position with their own populations.
In what appeared to be a state-backed response, the hashtag “Palestine is not my cause” circulated in the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait over the weekend. It made little dent in region-wide support for Twitter accounts from Gaza and East Jerusalem decrying scenes of violence and the Israeli leadership.

Hearts and minds. They are slowly crushing them to death. Just slow enough so nobody intervenes and attempts to stop it. They are smart torturers. Do it slowly and methodically enough and it’s irreversible.
