Hamas committed genocide on October 7. They should be destroyed for that crime. You’re pro-genocide because you want Hamas given a pass for their genocide.

Hamas committed genocide. Y’all are trying to use the bullshit “both sides” strategy on actual genocide to to give cover for the monsters in Hamas. You’re only fooling yourselves with this bullshit, society is rightly ignoring you for your disgusting behavior to get internet points by exploiting the suffering of real people.

If you actually cared about Palestinians you’d be demanding Hamas release the hostages. But you don’t want that to happen because you get sick entertainment from the suffering of Palestinians that Hamas provides to you by continuing with their war crimes. You’re ghouls.

It would be nice to have a nuanced discussion, but before that can happen going to have to convince the opposition to stop sending some crazy guy that screams lies about people eating dogs and cats to debate with.

That’ll only happen if the crazy guy loses.

You actually don’t need to imagine… most maps indicate what the angle should be.

The latitude on the map matches the angle between the North Star and the horizon. It’s just a weird coincidence that maps are like that.

Some people just don’t understand that internet is serious business.

Oh I believe you, I think we can just about wrap this case up.

But there’s just this one little detail the captain wants me to find out before I can close the case. The boys down at the lab just can’t explain this tricorder reading… it’s the darnedest thing. It just doesn’t quite line up with what the transporter logs are saying. But I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation…

It sucks when playing by the rules too.

Last game of monopoly we played strictly by the rules with four players. So I’m coming around the board and can know the the most likely outcome is that I’m going to land on a property with a hotel and go bankrupt. According to the rules I’d have to hand over all of my properties to that person that person just won the game even though there would still be three players. There’s nearly zero probability that someone with a big pile of cash that owns half the properties with hotels on a bunch of them already will ever lose.

So before rolling the dice, I sold all of my houses. Band made a couple of deals with the youngest family member in the game. First deal, I bought the electric company for all the money I had. Second deal, I sold all of my property (including the electric company) for $1 to that same player. Rolled the dice and as expected, landed on a property with a hotel. Handed over the $1 I had and I was out. This is all fine to do within the rules.

It actually made for an interesting game after that because the players left were evenly matched. But not everyone saw it that way so we never played again.

Really the properties should go back to the bank if someone goes bankrupt, otherwise a game with more than two people is effectively over as soon as the the first person goes bankrupt. Still nothing you can do about someone just setting up someone else to win by making a bad deal (whether intentionally or not).

It’s just kinda a shit game no matter what you do.

Bottom line: In Gaza there are urban combat operations in a urban area against non-uniformed combatants. Despite this, the total number of casualties (both combatants and non combatants, the numbers aren’t broken down) are less than the casualties this year in Ukraine.

Yes civilians die in war, especially when it’s being being fought in urban areas. This war is being fought in urban areas because that’s where Hamas is holding Israelis hostage in those areas. If you really cared about the toll on the civilian population you’d be calling on Hamas to release the hostages. But you aren’t because you don’t care about the civilian deaths for anything other than as a propaganda tool.

You guys can preach these kinds of things to each other, but you aren’t fooling anyone outside of your little group. People aren’t listening to you because they don’t care about Palestinians. People do care about Palestinians. It’s just that everyone is catching on to the fact that YOU don’t actually care about Palestinians and you’re just using them as a tool in a campaign against Israel. Shameful.

Read your history. The Marshall plan didn’t happen while the Nazis were running things in Germany. it happened after Germany’s unconditional surrender.

So when is Hamas going to surrender unconditionally?
