Israel/Palestine thread - Page 1007 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Again that’s not what I said

It’s racist to only call Palestinians terrorists when Israel is commiting more terrorism than they are accusing the Palestinians of.

This happens in every conflict and it’s why you can’t call Asian people [edited] or [edited] etc.

We called middle easterners [edited]

Well I'll make sure not to call Asian people [edited] or [edited] etc. I feel really irate that middle easterners were also called [edited] anyone who does that is a dirty [edited] [edited] [edited] [edited] mfrng [edited] piece of [edited] [edited] degenerate cu[edited] who prolly likes [edited][edited], just so y'know.

Anyway... Any other pearls of opaque wisdom you wanna throw my way?

If you say no racism, well, you’re gonna have a hard time.

Or maybe posters just don't post ethnic slurs. I personally wouldn't have a hard time with that.

You don’t realize that most people being called terrorists are victims of an ethnic slur do you

Because of wealth culture and income you will.

Living decent civilized lives leaves marks on your body you know?

Would you take that bet with 1 day old babies?

Calling Palestinians terrorists would be bad and probably racist
Calling Hamas terrorists is not

We do it all the time in western societies. White guy shoots up a school, he has mental issues or was being teased

Brown person does it and they are terrorists.

To be fair at least 6 babies did die

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...k/72439967007/

But the depiction that Israel killed them is still 100% false

When they shot those 4 aid trucks after telling them to go there, it could be understandable but i still wouldn't

But in general, no i would say in general it is not okay. But not because of race. Because it isn't true

Clearly it’s true by any metric. By international standards. By international opinion. By legal definition. By Webster definition.

And by general usage

Sorry I misspoke.

“The report said it was “reasonable to assess” that U.S. defense articles “have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 in instances inconsistent” with its international humanitarian law obligations “or with established best practices,” according to an executive summary of the report.
The current hostilities trace to that date in the fall, when Hamas militants led a cross-border attack into Israel that killed 1,200. The Palestinian death toll is nearing 35,000, according to local health authorities, who do not distinguish between combatants and civilians but note that most of the dead are women and children.“
