  2. This isn’t remotely true and you have no idea what you are talking about. Slaves weren’t even allowed to be taught how to read at one point.
  3. Israel itself admitted to collecting prisoners without charges as bargaining chips and targeting civilian infrastructure such as the dahiya doctrine
  4. So Israel will behave differently if Hamas does? 2018 says otherwise.
  5. Stop using social media, porn, and video games, and stop eating refined grains and processed sugars
  6. By your logic, you would have been giving the white supremacist society the power to regulate speech, which would have given them an even stronger hand to oppress blacks. One reason why lynching ended was because journalists covered it and authors criticized it exposing the practice.
  7. He isn’t, Bernie has higher favorability ratings
  8. Who said anything about boosting posts or allowing advocation of violence? Even if their initial act of censorship has benefits, that power can be used to later cause immense damage. Also, people act in their own interest. So what the government or social media corporations decide to censor may be good for them, but not necessarily for everyone else.
  9. There is no recorded history showing Facebook censoring pandemic info saved lives. If you mean it stopped people from undoing the lockdown, there isn’t proof of that, and even if it did: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9368251/

  11. One especially sad thing is many of the Oct 7 victims and hostages were themselves peace advocates
  12. It may be getting too big for Netanyahu to weather. But I don’t think he’s going to give in that easily. Keeping in mind if he loses power he may go to prison for unrelated charges. I’m thinking his possible moves are - have a huge surge in Gaza to try and get Sinwar or save some hostages to counter this news with a major pr victory - somehow provoke Iran or Hezbollah to carry out a major strike and go to war, then use that as an excuse to clamp down The problem with the former is he had to move IDF to clamp down on unrest in the West Bank, and the problem with the latter is Iran seems to be trying to pull back from a major war as it thinks they are in a better position waiting things out I’m actually surprised at the backlash to Netanyahu when it was Hamas who murdered the hostages in this case, the backlash actually seems greater than when it was hostages accidentally killed by IDF which I would assume made them look worse than when Hamas clearly did it. It seems they’re losing faith in a complete victory over Hamas. Honestly I think the only way they could have gotten anything near that was a very small bombing campaign and a huge amounts of IDF sent to strafe all of Gaza so they could actually personally confront Hamas and get access to the hostages, but I guess they couldn’t do that because they’d lose too many and be too vulnerable in other areas because it would require putting so many soldiers at risk. Israel desperately needs a peaceful solution fast, this whole thing has not made them look good PR wise, but crucially it made them look bad militarily, and extremists around the Middle East may start thinking they’ll have a military option and can outlast IDF if Hamas can.

  14. Sapiens and guns, Germs and steel are nonsense, read dawn of everything and why nations fail instead.
  15. Israel never offered a acceptable two states solution, only two were decent but even the US negotiator admitted if he was Palestinian he wouldn’t accept the first one, and the second one was done by a PM who had no support and was going to prison and had little chance of being put into action. they’ve also rejected far more offers from the Palestinian. If Israel’s objective isn’t to destroy the Palestinians, they wouldn’t have separated the palestinians for a generation, kept half trapped inside Gaza and then allowed settlers to constantly steal from and murder the other half. Israel keeps thousands of Palestinians in prison on bogus or sometimes no charges. Smotrich openly calls for Annexing the West Bank. Other Israeli politicians publicly discuss redistributing Gaza’s survivors in different parts of the world. This is all systematic destruction of a society. Hamas hasn’t attacked Jews outside of Palestine / Israel Hamas offered peace multiple times as I linked you. If that isn’t enough, by that logic there can’t be peace with Israel as the Likud charter has the same demand of never allowing Palestine to exist, but unlike Hamas they are actually doing it. Whatever problems they have, it is nothing compared to Israel. Israel has been told multiple times the settlements are war crimes yet they keep expanding them, the IDF is complicit in letting settlers kill Palestinians by the hundred. They just approved the largest land grab. The PLO isn’t even fighting back anymore. They aren’t the bad guys here. The aid money isn’t enough to counter the crushing blockade Israel keeps on Gaza, which they have admitted is purposefully designed to keep their economy on the brink. The Palestinians path to peace does lie solely on Israel because they are the obstacle blocking a two states solution which the entire UN has agreed on. Israel is the one blockading Gazas, Israel is the one expanding settlements in the West Bank. The UN votes on a two state solution every year, every year Israel and the US reject it. Palestine is destroyed every day, because they do not have rights nor safety every day they don’t have equal rights. Hamas or groups like it are inevitable because when every peace proposal by Palestinians is rejected, their peaceful protests are responded to with extreme violence, and the occupation gets more and more crushing, some of them are going to resist with violence.

  18. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-says-documents-found-in-gaza-show-hamas-was-falsifying-prominent-polling-results/ This is interesting. I’m inclined to believe this because the IDF is strongly claiming it has proof, also this data doesn’t exactly make the operation look better as it means much of the suffering of Gazans isn’t even of Gazans who privately supported Oct 7. If this is really true I wonder what Hamas’s actual goal is, as the second the war ends even if they remain in power, it’s entirely possible the Gazans will revolt against them if they are this unpopular.
  19. I recommend these interviews, Sachs gives some insane insider knowledge
  20. It says this in the document So we are supposed to not believe this statement but believe the other one, within the same document? If this really was Israel’s issue then explain why 1) they purposefully funneled money to Hamas and officials privately admitted they wanted Hamas to win the election & purposefully blockaded Gaza to put the economy on the brink as a putative tool 2) why they continue carving up the West Bank, forget about Hamas and Gaza, why not give the West Bank Palestinians freedom as Hamas has no control there, not only is the PLO not attacking Israel it isn’t even practicing self defense as settlers and IDF constantly kill Palestinians and rarely does anything happen to them The occupation itself creates a threat. Leaving thousands of orphans trapped in Gaza to be recruited & letting settlers steal homes and hunt Palestinians, all while also refusing to give them any future will continue to create anti Israel sentiment. Do you expect them to just decide to roll over and die? That is not naive, that’s playing out before our eyes. If a state puts Israel at threat, what does the occupation do? Palestinians don’t have a state and they’ve just suffered the worst attack in their borders in their entire history, a huge amount of international criticism, and certainly motivated extremists to rally against them for decades. And what happens if this persists, it will be more of the same. Palestinians stage violently resist, Israel slams down on them, international outcry, extremists use it to recruit, ect. Eventually it will be too much.
