Just lies, and knowing and calculated lies designed to stir up hate - and people are lapping it up.

Like Oslo agreements? Camp David? I could go on and on. The State of Israel have shown they dont care about agreements and nobody will bring them to order.
Since the Oslo agreement, settlements have trippled
Will be interesting to see how Israeli-Russian relations develop over time. As of now, Israel not pleased. But realpolitik may kick in again eventually.
Why though, what's his angle? Please Iran?Putin will obviously look for ways to insert himself into this without being able to actually do anything about it given his ongoing humiliation in Ukraine.

I think threat to employment can be a powerful motivator in keeping certain viewpoints out of media discourse. For example,
As part of its charter, Axel Springer maintains five “essentials.” These include standing up for “freedom, the rule of law, democracy and a united Europe”; supporting “the Jewish people and the right of existence of the State of Israel”; advocating “the transatlantic alliance between the United States of America and Europe”; upholding “the principles of the market economy and its social responsibility”; and rejecting “political and religious extremism and all forms of racism and sexual discrimination.”
On Sept. 1, Germany’s international broadcaster, Deutsche Welle (DW) updated its Code of Conduct to require all employees, when speaking either on behalf of the organization or in a personal capacity, to “support the right of Israel to exist” or face consequences, such as dismissal.
These mean there can be no discussion on the fundamentals of an apartheid state. And, in practice, we see:

(Hey, it looks like all of those fired are from minority backgrounds --- nothing to see here!)
I think the threat of deportation can also be a big motivator in reducing public discourse. For example:

if they were out of Gaza they wouldn't get caught up in the violence. That's the point of evacuating them.
The same way the British evacuated their children from major cities in WW2
Well we could ask Israel to cease fire and stop behaving like a big baby. Violence has not brought peace for 80 years and nor will it this time. But it is ok, we know the life of an Israeli is worth more than the life of Palestinians. We know that only Israelis are deserving of a life of dignity and prosperity, Palestinians are ''sub humans'' that should live in a refugee camp without dignity.Well it sounds like you're ok with keeping them in Gaza then.

there was a ceasefire on 6th October.
More than 200 Palestinians and nearly 30 Israelis have been killed so far this year in the occupied West Bank and Israel – a level of violence surpassing last year’s entire death toll and the highest number of fatalities since 2005, the United Nations Middle East envoy has said.
Of 240 palestinian deaths in 2023. Kids includedthere was a ceasefire on 6th October.
Market communism. Tito invented it.The guy claims to be a proud communist and asks his users to pay $3 for his for profit Twitter premium content. God bless America. The grift is real.

Is there any point of this kind of glib post? Would be just as pointless to retort that it sounds like you're OK with ethnic cleansing then.
'Easily mitigated', give me strength.

So the 2 lads next to me brought in a Palestine flag to the game today. Waived it for a few mins at half time. They got kicked out. It says on the united website you’re allowed to bring flags in.
Another incident. A friend of mine got exec seats. He was wearing Palestine colours (a hoodie). Initially refused entry before a senior said it was fine. The person who refused threatened to quit if he was allowed entry. Fortunately he was allowed. Good luck to her with her new job.
So you call Gaza an "open air prison" and when Israel suggests leaving the "prison" to be safe from Hamas and Israeli bombs. They are the bad guys?
The most charitable interpretation of Israel's plans for a post-Hamas Gaza would be that they intend to hand authority for the territory back to the PA in the aftermath of this war. Such a re-ordering of authority there would be almost entirely dependent on continued force of Israeli arms and massive support from the West and so-called 'moderate' Arab states to support the PA. I think it's clear enough how the PA will be perceived by the bulk of the Palestinian population in such circumstances, particularly if Israeli actions in the West Bank continue unabated.
(Edit): just to add, I don't think any place or people is "hard-wired" in any way, but a range of historical developments and circumstances have brought Gaza to this point, and Israeli policies over the decades have been a major (though not the only) driver of those developments.
They're not bombing Hamas targets - they're bombing hospitals, schools, mosques, residential buildings. It's wanton destruction, and there's plenty of evidence to prove it.So what's better?
tell them to stay in Gaza while they bomb Hamas targets.
or
leave Gaza to be safe while they bomb Hamas targets
He knows full well what answer he's going to get, he's been asking variations of it for days now.They're not bombing Hamas targets - they're bombing hospitals, schools, mosques, residential buildings. It's wanton destruction, and there's plenty of evidence to prove it.
Even if somehow, you can use your mental gymnastics to make a claim that all these buildings are Hamas run (they're not) - they've still murdered 60+ UN / humanitarian workers, around 20ish journalists (and in one case the journo's family), and 3,000 children and 2,000 women. So, you're misrepresented choice makes no sense.

More than a few turned their heads away from Assad's atrocities in this country too. They know who they are.He's an Assad defender which is a cruel irony. I think there's quite a few who have spent the last decade almost defending or outright denying the massacres Assad has authorised in Syria.
Thanks a lot.
Mossad, Shin Bet, & the Aman have all looked far less qualified than their previous rep made the world think.Mossad aren't exactly some inept pencil pushers.

Yeah, it was exactly as you described it.That probably didn't solve it, because your issue is that you can't access his profile page due to privacy settings, and therefore can't physically access the ignore button, right? As in, you're just getting the "access denied" screen.
The profile address is this: https://www.redcafe.net/members/ragnar123.121593/. If you add on "ignore" to the end, then that will fix it. Or just click this: https://www.redcafe.net/members/ragnar123.121593/ignore
WomanYeah, it was exactly as you described it.
I hit a brick wall with your first option but the alternative worked a treat. My eyes will be able to get a rest now.
I honestly wish for an option to directly put a poster on ignore without having to access to their profile first.
Thanks mate, you're the man.
No worries, was corrected myself many moons ago & just paying it forward.
