    The US just used their veto to overturn the UN Security Council vote. Again.

    Everybody knows who wants this to continue, against the whole world including their own people. There is no coming back and the mask is fully off.

    I knew it was going to happen, but it's still frustrating. The US should have never had full veto power. Honestly, no country should have full veto power, but no one can get anything done unless the US is benefiting the most from it. US hegemony needs to die for real progress to be made for the rest of the world. The US eats from everyone's plate and then tells them to stop complaining when they rightfully protest.

    Wait, did you really not get the reference?

    That's exactly how he described October 7th to the BBC. The murdered children, the raped women, the kidnapped baby. Moral and legitimate.

    I'm glad he's dead. :shrug:

    It's becoming increasingly clear that Netanyahu wants to attack Lebanon too now. He knows he's done as soon as the war is. The threats are revealing - "we'll do to Beirut what we've done to Gaza".

    Again, how do you arrest multiple members of a group that's known to wear conceal explosives and engage in suicide attacks?

    1. I do not support the intentional targeting of actual civilians by either side.

    2. Hamas is a bunch of honorless assholes that refuse to wear uniforms and love to hide amongst civilians. Civilians already die at a high rate during a proper war, Hamas tactics make even higher civilian casualties inevitable. If Gazans are that mad about it, they should take it up with Hamas. But also, Hamas lies.

    3. While I still don't condone the intentional targeting of civilians, it's fucking rich for anyone to loudly and proudly support the war Hamas is waging while also crying about the devastating consequences of said war. I have very little sympathy for any Gazan that supports the war while whining about the other side fighting back. That's insane. It's like a little kid punching someone on the playground then screaming because the other kid had the audacity to punch him back. :shrug:

    I am actually sort of there with this. Yes, the IDF has to go in and identify the guilty and establish their support for Hamas which would involve mass arrests and the establishment of evidence against them. Yes, that would look like a bunch of guys stripped almost naked and taken responsibly into proper custody. Since they have to do it in a mass area on a large scale it is going to be ugly.

    It does not involve bombing the fuck out of everyone first. The IDF also has to hold the people involved in a humane and non-abused way. They have to establish evidence and charges and not hold people they cannot confirm are part of Hamas. They can gather information, but not torture people. If they werre really honest about ending Hamas they could provide support and a decent life for anyone who gave information up about Hamas. If your choices are getting tortured and starved by the IDF why would you work with them?

    Again, if past patterns hold true these people will be tortured and punished because they were captured palestinians rather than because of any actual participation with Hamas. That is what Isreal does. We need evidence that has changed, and that involves scrutiny and pressure from the outside to act appropriately. That involves strings on any future support to Isreal from foreign governments.

    If you want to actually analyze such body types, you are wrong. That is what a starved body ends up looking like with age. Especially if you have built up muscle mass that has deteriorated due to malnutrition. a person who is emaciated who has had times where they were fed and has fat would look like that. Your argument is again dumb as Trump. Starving children of poor countries look different because they were always malnourished from the start. Palestinians have had some food, but they do not just turn into emaciated twigs when you starve them for a few days.

    One has to remember, @Ten Lubak is not mad at me because I was named in a suicide letter. He is mad at me because he thinks I can make anyone suicide and I have not proven to him the power exists and shown him how to wield it. He also seems to be angry the power isn't easily done and without consequences. Ton's of lube is a wretched little goblin. It is great for him I like my wretched little goblins and drop him food all the time, but this is pretty much what a goblin is.

If that makes you laugh that is really a sign to me you are fucked in the head. In my head you guys are with the trumpanzees. You are just the scum of the earth with perverted thoughts who I just am glad I do not have to deal with in person.

    WF gets what it deserves because of what it is. There is a toxicity to the level of discussion allowed here that lots of people do not want to deal with. We are all throwing some toxic shit at each other, and you really should not be coming here without a hazmat covering for your feelings. This is not an encouraging and great place by design. This place is like skin of evil where we leave our most negative hate and roll around slinging it at each other.

    This is the darkside of people at many times. I am sure a lot of us have better sides that we show to others, but maybe it is good that most of us do not see each other IRL? For all I know the people I am bitching at here would be fine with me IRL.

    So are you going to get angry at the person defending what you call the asshole settlers, or did you really not think they were assholes in the first place?

    I have been OK with Isreal killing Hamas and existing. I am not ok with the idea of killing all jews and am for Isreal just defending itself, but you seem to be OK with colonization tactics on your side.

    That is part of the fucking problem.

    I would say 16 and 17 year olds have agency, whereas 6 year olds that were shown having this 'press conference' were certainly put up to it by adults.

    And I would say the difference between those two things should be obvious to virtually any adult. C'mon.

    In other news, six teenagers found guilty in Paris for assisting the beheading of a French school teacher that showed pictures from Charlie Hebdo in a 'freedom of expression' class. The teacher in question had told students before hand he'd show these pictures and stated he understood if any Muslims wanted to leave the classroom.

    One girl lied and said she was forced to see the pictures that are considered blasphemy by our peace loving friends. Turns out she was confirmed to be skipping school that day.

    The lies were repeated online, quickly spread, and an 18 year old went to the school with a machete. After asking these kids which one was Mr. Paty, he struck him multiple times on the neck with the machete until his head came off.

    https://news.sky.com/story/six-teen...the-beheading-of-teacher-samuel-paty-13018121

    Eight adults will be tried early next year for their role.

    All the children were handed brief or suspended sentences.

    Real shame Hamas started a war which they said they knew would cause widespread death because they are a 'nation of martyrs.'

    They aren't Westerners Rick. This is their value set. Believe them. They are fine with their own children dying if they can kill Jews. It's a religious indoctrination that they all receive. Most can't shake it.

    Remember, they took the fuel necessary to keep the hospitals running to use for their war effort. Israel even offered to bring in fuel a week into the fighting for the hospitals but Hamas declined. Israel offered to send incubators to have the children evacuated to Egypt. Hamas declined.

    Why would they do that, Rick? You know why.

    How is this even relevant to the subject? This is not an act of war. You are trying to justify the genocide of palestinians with the criminal act of a person or two somewhere else that was not ordered by palestine.

    What does this have to do with anything other than you proving you are genocidal and want all palestinian and muslim people eliminated due to the acts of a few people? This goes right back to your insistence that all trans women need to be punished because one trans swimmer beat a little blonde girl in a swim meet.

    Thanks for more evidence @Demiurge is a fucking huge bigot in many areas. As we can see the CHUD is just bursting out of you.

    Do you even hear yourself? You are a rabid hater. Everything with you is about hating the people you hate. This is all you are about, and you think you are better than the trumpanzees because you don't like Trump, but really you are just as fucking sad and pathetic. We are all wrong because we don't hate the people you hate.

    I hate to tell you, but I really am not so insecure that I have to hate all those people so you think I am a good person. You are sick and gross, and I am great with you thinking I am horrible. I would have to check the shit in my soul if you started to like it. You have the most horrid tastes, and if I am pleasingh to you that means I am horrid.
