Great, guess I know what I’m doing after my uni exam… and possibly before (let’s be honest).

Hang on, Troopers mod???
I would also argue we lived in a pre-9/11 world.
It us shocking how much the world changed in response for the sake of security and safety, and I know it’s a controversial take but the terrorists succeed in changing the world to their image.
While I get your understanding from my comment, I don’t know if I’d call it both-sideism as much as I would neither is innocent. Either was quite capable of taking steps to stop this before it happened.
If it wasn’t for the fact it had happened before in Ireland I would 100% say there is no way the differences could be reconciled to a permanent two-state solution - but clearly there must be a pathway to peace. Unfortunately I don’t hold much confidence in it actually happening and more will continue to suffer because of it.
I think that a pretty fair belief.

I want to say yes, but also aware that legal definitions take a long time to work through. Current discussions by those much further in the know are “allegations” of genocide, “could amount” to genocide, “could lead to” genocide.
Are the flags there - absolutely. The hold out (as far as im aware) is the intent vs causality aspect. I suspect investigation will start to lean to intent existing.
Assuming yes, I don’t know if I’d call it ironic. Any group is just as capable as any other regardless of history.
And before you call me a genocide denier, there is a good reason I’ve reserved that statement at this stage. I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes shortly.
While I agree on the statement of Hamas goals, we can’t deny a number of Israeli politicians have said comparable things.
Na, its pretty obvious why, even to you.
Quick mental exercise - the conflict is suspended in the next 10 minutes, a “permanent ceasefire”. Every aid truck is permitted in, Israel withdraws to their state, intl community is released.
Do you think Israel will go “we achieved everything we want to, Hamas is no longer a threat, let’s disband our Iron dome, cease CMT, live our best lives”.
Do you think Hamas will unify Palestine and usher in a new era of peace and stability, cease attacks on Israel because its not worth it, join the international community in rebuilding Palestine to be prosperous.
Do you think the intl community is shocked enough to never let this happen again?
Oh look, first word in the post
And I can also argue that when you have a neighbor that launches soo many rockets across the border that you have one of the best and most expensive anti-rocket defenses in the world, that has proven in the last few day that it still exists, you won’t stop until its gone.
This conflict exists because politicians and the intl community failed miserably - Rwanda level failed. I blame the UNSC personally.
As I’ve said in other comments before, I seriously hope that regardless of who you support, at the end of this conflict the acts above and beyond proportionality are thoroughly investigated, and I hope to see militants and politicians on both sides swinging in prison by the end of it.
I don’t get the name calling.
I support Israel right to defend itself (and by logic, Hamas will defend as well), but fully acknowledge challenging the methods, actions and propaganda of each side.
This is a conflict, there is enough shit going around - we don’t need to bring religion into this. Call out shit people, call out bias, and absolutely call out people who think they can hide behind religion.
(Love the meme, great not seeing the same repeated crap).
Oh great, now you’ve started it…
Fuck it, ill bite. I’ll either have something else to consider or a better prepared argument for when someone argues with me next time.
Let’s start with the fact we have 5% inflation in my country, down from ~8% as we push up interest rates and deliberately drive down GDP including to -0.2%.
Oh, and I’m not from the US so fed means nothing.
Im going to risk it and see what their reasoning is.
Strongly believe I would disagree with them as I literally tutor this topic at university level, but let’s see.
Sure you don’t have that backwards. Deliberate steps are being taken to push inflation down.
Wait till you see people complaining that we are deliberately pushing up interest rates and trying to cause a recession.
The lose their shit.
I have (had- grew up) 3. They are cute - its a natural defense mechanism so we don’t throw them in the bin when they are up at 3am for the 22nd night in a row.
