If Israel does anything other than give an hour or whatever they did last time for hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate and no place for them to go, you can thank Biden.

The parents of Shani Louk, the 23-year-old tattoo artist killed by Hamas and paraded half-naked through Gaza like a trophy, described identifying their daughter’s body seven months after she was murdered by terrorists — hours after her remains were recovered in Rafah by Israeli soldiers.

“The body that we have now is complete and beautiful and looks like she’s alive actually,” said Shani’s father, Nissim Louk, telling The Post Friday that the condition of her body was “a miracle.”

“I think she’d been in one of the tunnels which was very, very cold…that’s why the body is complete and beautiful and the skin is still the same color, you still see the tattoos, it’s amazing,” he said told The Post as part of a conversation with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

Shani’s parents expressed relief that their daughter’s remains are back in Israel following the horrific Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel — which included a massacre at the Super Nova music festival Shani was attending.

“The army came and told us that the body of Shani was found and brought back to Israel…we’re happy that she’s back and can bury her properly,” said Shani’s mother Ricarda Louk.

But trollsworth, I have no need to respond to c&p spam, hence my post expressing my disinterest, due to it being about as interesting as your bad faith non-arguments and substandard trolling. See how that works?

Because then that wouldn't have been apartheid.

Not sure what this has to do with Israel most assuredly not being an Apartheid state.

Alright. I'm just catching up here and there are too many violations at this point for me to deal with them all before I have to go pick up baby Xnerd. So this thread is going to take a short rest while I sort this out.

Please, do NOT take these arguments and insults to other threads. Thanks guys

Ok friends. I hope everyone has taken some time to reflect on our timeout from the thread. Before we restart things back up, lets re-familiarize ourselves again with the thread rules.

The first thing I'm going to ask of you is to re-familiarize yourselves with the below posts:

2+2 Rules

Posting guidelines for Politics and Society

These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.

To reiterate some of the points:

1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.

2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.

3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.

4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.

5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.

If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.

I'm really hoping that we can all agree on the above rules being fairly simple to follow and generally acceptable to everyone. Lets all try to get along and continue to have a productive conversation together. Thanks guys!
So, we seem to have some trouble with point #1, which is to be expected in a discussion of such a hot topic. Again, you guys have a lot of freedom here. We just have to learn to use it correctly. You're totally free to say something that some *has said* is stupid or racist, but we're not going to use those labels on *each other* because it corrodes the debates and our trust in one another as a community.

Today was a bit of a rough one. We had a lot of over the edge posts and many more that were right up against the line. This has resulted in the thread being closed to everyone for the rest of the day, and this is probably a consequence I'll continue to use when the temperature starts to rise too high.

What's going to happen now is corpus vile, microbet, and metsandfinsfan are all going to be taking a day off from this thread for low content posts about one another and personal attacks. Do not make posts solely designed to denigrate one another. You three may rejoin us in 24 hours. Please do not disregard this timeout, besties. If you have questions or complaints, PM me. I'm happy to go over everything with you guys.

Lets all try to carry on meaningful adult conversations and debates. I know we can do it. I'll reopen this thread at 12:00EST. Thanks you guys

It means describing Israel as apartheid is generous now.


Edit. Saw crossnerds post. Can wait for a reply.

Nobody talking about what Gallant just did? The Israeli government is literally on the brink of collapse from this epic move.

For those who don't follow too close, Gallant is one of the more popular guys in Israel today (maybe less so today than 6 months ago). He was the one that basically nuked the judicial reform. Bibi tried to fire him and then the country got so upset he couldn't. He's basically in a political job but with no political aspirations, just trying to save the country. So his motivations are about as pure as it gets, and in that sense he's a huge liability to Bibi. He's one of the most respected men in the country.

Anyway he just came out and said Bibi's course is doomed. Either Hamas wins or Israel has to occupy Gaza via a lengthy military operation (and Bibi wasn't exactly hiding that it was #2 he was gunning for).

So Gallant just warned the whole country, going around Bibi's back. They're in the same party for context.

So basically all eyes on Benny Gantz now. What is supposed to happen if the world makes any sense, is he steps up and slides right into this position Gallant has explained. The government falls apart. And elections occur before the matter of what to do with Gaza comes up.

I think almost all of us itt are aligned on it not being Bibi who oversees it. No military occupation (at least for any appreciable duration). This should be the start of a move to just right of centre kind of thing. More left than Bibi anyway. If Bibi somehow manages to hold on in all this, I fear for 260 more pages of chaos in here.

regardless of who wins the election there is almost certainly going to be a military occupation. who is going to run the pier, the Netzarem corrido, and the Rafah crossing? you think they are just going to leave that stuff and **** off back Israel?
