      Oh come off it. You’re all up and down these posts repeating lies about Hamas using human shields or how driving the civilians out of their homes in mass does not constitute ethnic cleansing.

      Btw here’s the actual definition of “ethnic cleansing”

      the mass expulsion or killing of members of an unwanted ethnic or religious group in a society.

      You argued with me that it’s totally legit that the IDF isn’t letting journalists verify footage of supposed Hamas atrocities but the IDF is cool with showing that footage to journalists in a private setting where they’re not allowed to record anything.

      You whine constantly that Al Jazeera isn’t legitimate but you haven’t posted a single source to debunk any of their reporting.

      Post some sources of your own or sit down

          We didn’t argue that

          Israel has already been caught lying about Oct 7th. I was pointing out that not releasing the video or allowing it to be recorded means that no one can verify if the footage is legit. You keep insisting “they reviewed it”. I don’t know what you think you were arguing but you were in fact arguing that it is fine that Israel is not allowing journalists to verify evidence (or that a 3rd party had actually already verified it).

          Screenshots I'm hiding in a spoiler because they are large

          What you were mad about is not being able to watch the deaths yourself

          I made a dumb joke about the snyder cut and you interpreted it in the least charitable way insisting that I personally want to watch the footage to celebrate. Don’t be an asshole

      This tautology allows accusations of antisemitism to be weaponized, particularly against people who speak up about Palestinian rights — sometimes in ridiculous ways. Source

        Not to say it’s not true- but I’d wait a few days till we have more info before saying it absolutely did happen- see the hospital or church bombings for example.

      Is it anti Semetic for Palestinians to have the right to self determination? Asking seriously.

        I don’t see the correlation so I don’t understand the quiestion. Are Palestinians not allowed to self determine themselves in their Gaza strip without ideology that would affect basic humans rights of others aside from Hammas influence? Please elaborate.

          Just like the Jewish people have the right to “self determination”, do Palestinians as a nation have the same right to self determination?

                I don’t know I was asking the question if they can do it. Because i didn’t get answer to my question here about whether they are they allowed to do it or not .

                  Are you asking if it’s doable to have self determination and not kill anyone?

                    Well kinda, I asked if they are not allowed to do that in a way that won’t turn into violence .
                    You know self determination is very general term. I could self determine at the expense of you or I could do it in neutral or even beneficial way to you. But I’m merely asking if they are not allowed.

      Unfortunately so is Bibi. He has to stop having wine and cheese with Trump et al to start looking a bit less facist and horrific at this point.

      I made the effort to check both your comment and OPs comments and I think you should perhaps sit down and self reflect.
