Does Having the Palestinian Flag as Your Avatar Warrant a Ban?

I ask because these people voted for a government that wants to eradicate the Jews just like the German people voted for the Nazi party that wanted to eradicate the Jews. I'm just asking questions because two people here have the Palestinian flag as an avatar. One is an administer.

Boy, FF really wants his swastika back.
Look at him lawyer-ball like Johnny Cochrane.

Please stop pressing the turbo stupid button mr. the boy. We know. No really, we know.

No I want consistency in applying the "rules".

No, you want to be humiliated again so you can fap.

There is no rule that says bans are issued based on how ignorant @Steal Your Face is about world history.

Jesus.

Palestine is not Hamas and Hamas is not Palestine.

I'm about as pro-Israel as anyone here, and this is ridiculous.

As stated in the OP, they voted for Hamas, they very much do own this.

The Confederacy was clearly a white supremacist society
America and Canada and Australia all carried out genocide against native populations.

Belgium, for fuck sakes, commited genocide of 25M in their African colonies.

Let's not even get started on shit like 18th Century empires or complacency about the Jews in 1930s Europe...

Ain't a flag that can be flown that ain't got a few hundred pages of war crimes/ crimes against humanity.





TL;DR
Fuck off with the obvious false equivalence

Unless, as Diacanu suggests, you're here for the bukake?

You live in a country that voted for Joe Biden, who you say is a fascist.

Therefore, you are a fascist and if you ever use the American flag as your avatar, you should be banned.

By your own "logic."

I'm convinced. If anyone here is using a Palestinian flag as their avatar, Federal Farmer should be banned.

The last election was in 2006. Roughly 50% of the Palestinian population are children, most of that population wasn't even born when the last election took place.
I didn't know you were a "sins of the father" kind of genocide enthusiast, but I'm also not surprised.

You also, by claiming someone with a Palestinian flag backs the eradication of the Jews, completely disregard the Jewish organizations, and Palestinian Jews themselves, who do not agree with the state of Israel or Zionism in general and are protesting the genocide taking place in Gaza. This is why I said you were ignorant of world history. You haven't the fucking slightest idea what you're advocating, but yeah, I think @Diacanu is right, you want that Swastika avatar, because you're just a little Nazi shit who will use any excuse, even the cover of "anti-Semitism," to get what you want, like many white supremacists are doing on the Republican side of things.

If you decide you're going to have that swastika anyway, I'll toss you off the board for a little vacation.

On it, but I have to ban Packard first.

Uh... if the board 404's, you know why.

I’d say you’re as dumb as a box of rocks, but Jesus, rocks ain’t never been so insulted and I ain’t about to start.

So one Nazi flag is fine while the other is not. Got it.

Fuck around and find out.

Why don’t you try making your avatar Hamas’s actual flag (the green and white one that looks like Saudi Arabia’s, minus the sword) and see what happens.

This is too much stress for the mods, all political avatars are now banned, only cute Pokémon in hats allowed now

No one with half a brain should be concerned whatsoever with @Amaris and @RickDeckard 's avatars.

I am, however, concerned with @Amaris's signature, which effectively advocates for the genocide of Israeli Jews.

And yes, I'm aware of the slogan's history but in modern times it has been adopted by Hamas. Sort of like how the Nazis adopted the swastika.

So not sure who actually owns this board anymore, but his signature should be taken down.

EDIT: Looks like it's @shootER and @Dr. Krieg? The other two posters listed as owners are never here.

That would be like considering "land back" for indigenous people to mean white genocide. That would be like saying the "End Apartheid" slogans during the 1980s South African apartheid advocated for, you guessed it, white genocide. There is a theme here, and Zionism fits right in with it. "From the River to the Sea" does not mean genocide of Jews, it means Israel, the apartheid occupying state, no longer has control over Palestinians. As I've said before, there are Palestinian Jews being murdered right along with their Palestinian Muslim neighbors. Israel and Judaism are not the same, regardless of what Zionists like Benjamin Netanyahu would have you believe.

If you really want to know more, I sincerely encourage you to read "The Holocaust Industry" by Norman Finkelstein.

That's all lovely. Except you missed the part where Hamas has adopted the slogan. So whatever it meant before, it's now effectively a cry for genocide. Full stop. End of debate.

Put another way: how quickly would @Steal Your Face get a forced vacation if he changed his avatar to the footprints of the Buddha?

Get rid of your signature.

No.

Seventeen years ago 44.5% of Palestinian VOTERS (not entire population) voted for Hamas in a rushed election against a sclerotic Fatah (thanks GW Bush*)

Fatah + three far left parties (I’m talking communist and atheist) played spoiler and while they got 53% of the vote did not win the majority of the seats.

After a couple months of deadlocked negotiations Hamas said fuck it and staged a violent coup in Gaza and took over the government there.

If you do the math 18% of current Gazans voted for Hamas.

Seventeen years ago.

Hell of a mandate.

*in his defense he really did believe in democracy. He just didn’t understand that a population needs a certain amount of development and parties need a certain amount of time to run a campaign.

You are an administer! I am not sure how you accomplished such powers, but you should make your time because the boy has been set up the babomb.

50 princess points for whoever tells me how many references were in that last sentence.

Considering that a huge portion of Israel lies between said river and said sea, I'd say it means more than that.

You cut out the relevant context before that. You make no point except to imply genocide where there is none.
Meanwhile, 17,000 Palestinians have been murdered by Israeli genocide.

You think one calls for a genocide.
Meanwhile the other commits genocide.

Let me ask a straightforward question, then, since "from the river to sea" can be interpreted with varying degrees of literalism, and Palestine has a variety of definitions as well.

Should Israel exist?

As an apartheid state? No.
Israel, as it is, is an occupying force, and they are committing a genocide on the indigenous population there. It is similar to what occurred with Apartheid South Africa, hence my using them as examples earlier.

If Israel wants to be a nation, and I say Israel, not the Jewish population, because not all of the Jewish population supports a religious ethnostate (and Israel does not equal Judaism), then they can work that out in places that will accept them willingly, rather than their home be created by the US and the British over top the homes of the Palestinians that lived there.

See, for a lot of people, this seems to be a call for genocide, because so many nations, like the US, did the same thing throughout its history. We essentially stole Hawaii, and there is a significant population that wants Hawaii to be returned to the natives. I agree with them. None of that means the people who are currently living there are going to be murdered. That's a colonizer's mindset, worry that the indigenous population will do to them what they've done to so many. Rather, it simply means that recompense is made for the land stolen, the lives stolen, the resources stolen. Again, just like the use of the term "land back" doesn't mean white people will be murdered for living in Ohio, Kansas, or New York, for example. There will simply be recompense made.

It is a highly complex issue in a modern world, but it needs to be addressed. As of now, though, Israel is an illegitimate colonizer state that has slowly consumed almost all of Palestine, and is currently engaging in the latest nakba to push Palestinians into places they can't go and are bombing them while they do it.

Amaris: No, you're missing the nuances! It's not as black and white as you want it to be! Words don't mean what they mean!
