KillingTimeItself

ah, i think you should catch up a little bit on jreg then. He’s had a similar story arc lmao.

He’s “unironically Jregular now”

it depends on the application, if you’re just serving a static site, or talking on a public chatforum, yeah encryption is pointless.

If you’re talking an SSH tunnel? Yeah no this is stupid.

jreg is pretty based i think. His content is satire, for sure. A lot of his recent stuff has been delving into more philosophical shit though.

Dude literally doxxed himself and asked people to kill him (in lore)

yeah pretty much this. Dealing with one right now, people are funny.

You keep arguing in bad faith, as everyone knows that if you actually wanted to know what “birthright” meant, as if you didn’t already, it’d take you 10 seconds to check it on Google. So asking that is you asking in bad faith. I’m explaining this because I genuinely think you don’t understand it, the proudly ignorant American that you are.

Yeah, i googled it. I still don’t understand what the fuck you meant by the implication of using it though. Which is why i think it’s related to israel or judaism. But i don’t know anything about those two things, so i’m not sure i would be able to recognize what you meant by it, unless you meant my birthright to post shitpost comments on the internet or something? I fail to see how this is relevant though. So i’m assuming it’s some sort of dig at religion that is failing incredibly hard here because i legitimately have no idea what you mean. And you are gaslighting yourself into believing otherwise.

Once again, equivocation on the level that I mostly remember encountering on recess 20 years ago. You said “it says starvation, not genocide”. That’s you pretending that once can’t commit by, among other methods, intentional starvation.

i already covered this, go read what i actually said. This simply isn’t congruent with history, nor does it make any sense in the context providing, because genocide is almost always an explicit violence act against another group of people for no reason other than their ethnicity. Defining it as anything else would include Mao’s famines, and north koreas famines. But weirdly, you don’t seem to be continually puking yourself over the thought of hundreds of thousands of north korean farmers who are currently starving. It’s almost as if you either, only care about the Palestinians, or simply do not actually believe what you are saying, and are simply doing some classic, political posturing here.

Again, because you seem to be incapable of reading, russia is LITERALLY doing the same thing to ukraine. But again, doesn’t seem to matter to you, because apparently ukrainians are less worthy to life than Palestinians according to your complete lack of care about them starving.

You can’t admit to a single piece of evidence of the MOUNTAIN of evidence of war crimes there is against Israel

war crimes against israel? October 7th was considered to be one, but obviously, you misspoke here. And you meant the war crimes that israel is committing, that are being levied against israel. To which, i have agreed too. And you have subsequently, ignored, either because you aren’t reading what i’m posting, even though i’m clearly reading what you post. Or because it simply disentangles your entire narrative here of you being “correct” and it makes you look bad, so in turn you have to save face by pretending they don’t exist.

Or are you just going to pull the “i couldn’t remember” card? Even though it was literally 30 minutes to an hour ago that i said this, and that you read it, in fact, why don’t i go pull it up? “Oh look, another question you haven’t asked yet which btw, yes israel is comitting war crimes, and so has hamas. It’s almost like answering actual questions is, rather easy.”

oh wow, look at that, you literally lied.

You’re scared, willfully ignorant and on the wrong side of history.

i’m on the wrong side of history? Homie, there is no wrong side of history, merely the side that gets written down and archived at some point. Whether this comes to bite in the back later is a different story. The chances of that happening are incredibly small though.

Also i find it rather cute that you keep calling me willfully ignorant, even though i keep explaining to you, that i am quite literally basically ignorant on the topic, because well. I don’t have the fucking time.

pitiful whinging about “both sides”.

oh, you’re the “both sides” type of person, nobody is worse than these type of people. Because they sit in a superiority complex of their own, completely abusing a rather useful concept.

Since you don’t seem to understand how it works, i’ll explain it to you (properly( bothsidesing is a technique commonly used to compare to different groups, in this case opposing parties. Via isolating one side, documenting it’s behaviorisms, and rhetoric. And the repeating the same for the other side, in a similarly isolated manner. And finally, once complete, you can compare them between the two, and what would be expected (in this situation) is a significant overlap in a lot of rhetoric, and a handful of valid underlying causes to the problem. The rhetoric is obviously going to be self determinant. It should be very clear where it is. The underlying structures are going to be hidden within rhetoric most of the time, though apparent.

The problem with most “both sides” ““both sides”” type of people is that they complete forego the entire process of this, and instead do surface level equivocations of two often entirely irrelevant scenarios. Even though this is literally a fundamental fallacy of conceptualization. It’d be like if i said that global warming doesn’t exist because seasons still happen. But of course, you’ve never done this right?

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/23128346/11632541

oh, oh no… What a terrible discovery.

That’s why I keep linking things like these

i would also like to point out, that you’re expecting to link the same resources over and over again, while expecting me to do something about it instead. Debate is a two way street my friend, you have done nothing but fence sitting here.

oh and by the way, i find it curious that you accuse me of sealioning, even though you’re literally the one DEMANDING an answer from me, lmao. Go read your definitions better so you can use fallacies properly.

People like you disgust me, but as I don’t want to be as shit of a person as you, I actually reply in good faith. People like you just tie yourself in knots.

my guy, you have done nothing but reiterate the same exact statement you made originally. If anybody here is in bad faith, it’s you because you refuse to interact with any of the premises i propose.

Interesting that you seem to use the “people like you” phrasing. Surely that could never imply anything bad. Surely you don’t have a trained predispoition against people who disagree with you. Do you?

But, since you seem to like fallacy so much, i will indulge you. Notably, you keep using an “appeal to the stone” fallacy. Or more clinically referred to as “proof by assertion” You’re also entertaining an “invincible ignorance fallacy” You will probably engage in “argument of repetition” later on, when in the shower, yelling at me. Also an “argument from silence” fallacy in there. And since you seem to like language so much 'ignoratio elenchi" fallacy as well.

Curious how all of these are “relevance fallacies” isn’t it. Fun fact, a common trap with fallacy is just misapplying them wherever you see fit. Whether that is the case here, or whether your line of behaviorisms uniquely lines you up for this specific type of fallacy, is not up to me, as i don’t like to meander into these kinds of things. It’s rather boring and difficult. It’s more interesting running into the underlying concepts.

The implication of the first comment of this thread is that there are “both sides” to this. There aren’t. Who exactly is saying “Palestine is committing a genocide on Israelis?”

what an incredibly naive and basic take on a geo political (historical) conflict that is still ongoing.

If we’re going to analyze this from a clinical perspective, as would be implied by “both sides” we need to consider the actions of both sides, independently to each other. In a manner that is unrelated. This is the only way to truly “both sides” something.

Looking at it in any other capacity is entirely irresponsible and disingenuous at best.

Only a literal child considers both sides exclusively in the capacity of “genocide” in this case. This is like saying that the US won the space race because we got to the moon and back, with people. Even though the USSR did literally everything else before the US did.

i’d be concerned that she’d just fucking retconn everything and make it a nightmare or ruin it.

So yeah no, i’m good.

idk maybe because i’m just trying to figure out what the fuck you mean when you’re talking about this shit. I’m trying to give you the benefit of doubt here, and you’re squandering it by yelling at me and saying it literally does not fucking matter.

For all i know you don’t even live in fucking america. Maybe it’s just me applying incorrect cultural customs, but i wouldn’t know because you keep yelling at me.

There you go again, pretending that either you’ve never heard of what either “implication” or “birthright”

what do you mean by implication? I meant birthright specifically.

and that you’re literally too stupid to write a single word into Google…

i did, and curiously it spat some shit out about israel, which would be why i assumed it’s jewish. Shockingly, i’m not israeli, nor jewish, so idk what the fuck it is. But please, indulge me and expand upon it. I’m always willing to learn. Unlike some people.

arguing in bad faith.

bro i asked a question, it’s not that deep, calm down.

Just like you genocide defending lunatics always do.

again with the adhom and saying shit that’s demonstrably false. Very cool.

Keep hammering out pages of junior high level non-sequiturs, it’s not gonna change the situation.

and maybe i will, because i’m actually just an AI. Perhaps i’m not. Who knows!

You deny a genocide happening. The world doesn’t.

not a single part of this statement is true. The world might suspect a genocide is happening though. Me personally? It could go either way.

Keep pushing that propaganda, I’ll keep replying here, as I enjoy forums and laughing at proudly ignorant American girls like you.

oh cool, i’m female now. Did you ever stop to think about the fact that most israeli supporters in the US are middle aged white men who are republican? Probably not. I’ll give you this one for your future adhoms.

I come over and strangle you to death. The cause of death is strangulation. The coroner writes that in the autopsy report. Due to this evidence, I get arrested and put on trial. Yet later, after a trial I get convicted for homicide? “There goes my logic, making sense again.” ;)

ah sick, roleplaying i enjoy this.

Let’s do one. You’re my kid, i’m your parent, i don’t feed you because you keeping bombing israel and israel is angry (or something) and israel in return takes away your food (i guess i’m israel in this context) That would also make you palestine though. Naturally, you become malnourished, and eventually the authorities take you away from me, for child neglect, assuming that it doesn’t just stop at this point (that does happen here) and that i get hit with a legal case, it would almost certainly be under the pretense of “child neglect” not “homicide” because, curiously, i didn’t kill you.

Again similar thing happening in ukraine right now. They have little to no food production, which is most of their exports, but that’s irrelevant. Curiously russia isn’t committing genocide by blowing up grain silos in ukraine. It’s funny how that works.

Again, your lack of education on the subject is quite entertaining. No, it isn’t war. Is the nation of Palestine at war with the nation of Israel? No. Israel claims to be at war with a vaguely defined terrorist organisation. There’s quite a lot of literature about the war on “terror” and how it enables authoritarian military action. Of course you haven’t read any of that.

ah curious, let’s see. For full transparency, since i’m better at quoting from you, here is an excerpt from the original 1988 hamas charter

"Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement. Abusing any part of Palestine is abuse directed against part of religion. Nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its religion. Its members have been fed on that. For the sake of hoisting the banner of Allah over their homeland they fight. “Allah will be prominent, but most people do not know.”

Now and then the call goes out for the convening of an international conference to look for ways of solving the (Palestinian) question. Some accept, others reject the idea, for this or other reason, with one stipulation or more for consent to convening the conference and participating in it. Knowing the parties constituting the conference, their past and present attitudes towards Moslem problems, the Islamic Resistance Movement does not consider these conferences capable of realising the demands, restoring the rights or doing justice to the oppressed. These conferences are only ways of setting the infidels in the land of the Moslems as arbitraters. When did the infidels do justice to the believers?

"But the Jews will not be pleased with thee, neither the Christians, until thou follow their religion; say, The direction of Allah is the true direction. And verily if thou follow their desires, after the knowledge which hath been given thee, thou shalt find no patron or protector against Allah." (The Cow - verse 120).

There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with. As in said in the honourable Hadith:

"The people of Syria are Allah's lash in His land. He wreaks His vengeance through them against whomsoever He wishes among His slaves It is unthinkable that those who are double-faced among them should prosper over the faithful. They will certainly die out of grief and desperation."" https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp and your ever so coveted link of course.

But i’m sure you’ll just say "well um akshually, this is old. So let’s have a look at the “new charter” as referred to by hamas themselves.

link of course: https://israeled.org/resources/documents/hamas-a-document-of-general-principles-policies/ (ah but of course, this is an israeli source, how could i trust it? Well, jstor has a copy, but it’s fucking paywalled and im not paying for that shit)

“Palestine is the land of the Arab Palestinian people, from it they originate, to it they adhere and belong, and about it they reach out and communicate.”

just a little tidbit on palestine being arab, get fucked even hamas says so.

"Palestine is the cause of a people who have been let down by a world that fails to secure their rights and restore to them what has been usurped from them, a people whose land continues to suffer one of the worst types of occupation in this world.

Palestine is a land that was seized by a racist, anti-human and colonial Zionist project that was founded on a false promise (the Balfour Declaration), no recognition of a usurping entity and on imposing a fait accompli by force.

Palestine symbolizes the resistance that shall continue until liberation is accomplished, until the return is fulfilled and until a fully sovereign state is established with Jerusalem as its capital."

oh boy this sounds familiar.

" Palestine, which extends from the River Jordan in the east to the Mediterranean in the west and from Ras Al-Naqurah in the north to Umm Al-Rashrash in the south, is an integral territorial unit. It is the land and the home of the Palestinian people. The expulsion and banishment of the Palestinian people from their land and the establishment of the Zionist entity therein do not annul the right of the Palestinian people to their entire land and do not entrench any rights therein for the usurping Zionist entity. Palestine is an Arab Islamic land. It is a blessed sacred land that has a special place in the heart of every Arab and every Muslim."

hmmm.

“The Palestinian people are one people, made up of all Palestinians, inside and outside of Palestine, irrespective of their religion, culture or political affiliation.”

Don’t mind them casually dismissing your conception of ethnicity in this case.

“Hamas also believes that Palestine has always been and will always be a model of coexistence, tolerance and civilizational innovation.”

they do also throw this one in there, to be fair.

Oh ADHD though time, did i mention the israeli settlements in westbank/gaza (however that works) because if not, why the fuck are they there? Yet another anti-israeli point for you to wrap your head around.

“The following are considered null and void: the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate Document, the UN Palestine Partition Resolution, and whatever resolutions and measures that derive from them or are similar to them. The establishment of “Israel” is entirely illegal and contravenes the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and goes against their will and the will of the Ummah; it is also in violation of human rights that are guaranteed by international conventions, foremost among them is the right to self-determination.”

wonder how they’re going to go about the dissolution of israel…

“Resisting the occupation with all means and methods is a legitimate right guaranteed by divine laws and by international norms and laws. At the heart of these lies armed resistance, which is regarded as the strategic choice for protecting the principles and the rights of the Palestinian people.”

“how is this war?”

yeah idk man, they literally state by all means. I would presume war is included in that.

“Hamas rejects any attempt to undermine the resistance and its arms. It also affirms the right of our people to develop the means and mechanisms of resistance. Managing resistance, in terms of escalation or de-escalation, or in terms of diversifying the means and methods, is an integral part of the process of managing the conflict and should not be at the expense of the principle of resistance.”

oops more war speak.

“From a legal and humanitarian perspective, the liberation of Palestine is a legitimate activity, it is an act of self-defence, and it is the expression of the natural right of all peoples to self-determination.”

ah curious, self defense, surely this could not be construed to mean war could it?

accidentally posted, oopsiess, anyway.

Unless you think you’re so much more knowledgeable in international law than literally every single expert on international law?

man you really keep reaching, please show me somewhere i’ve explicitly stated that.

Since you seem to be partial to Wikipedia (probably because of it’s simplicity):

there’s a few reasons, it’s generally pretty accurate on the general public opinion of conflicts, and often has lots of high density information on the given topic, and unlike most of the internet, isn’t a complete clusterfuck that is hell to navigate.

It’s also generally universally accepted to be “moderately reliable” which is highly useful.

and since we’re linking wikipedia as a source here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli–Palestinian_conflict

oh look at that, it lists it as a conflict, which is basically one step under a war.

“No my gf lives in Canada you wouldn’t know her, but she’s definitely real”

my brother in christ, scroll up you lazy motherfucker and see what i wrote, i haven’t edited that shit because i’m not a bitch ass motherfucker. And then yell at me on my contradictions or whatever the fuck you want to yell at me about. You love reading don’t you? I thought you enjoyed this?

And you say you could equally well say to me that my facts don’t make sense? Mmm-hhmm, yeah. I keep showing actual sources from the United Nations and other reputable institutions and experts on international law.

cool story but like, it’s irrelevant, try posting something actually relevant next time and maybe it’ll matter lmao.

“fake news fake news.”

i have not but ok.

You might delude yourself into thinking we’re both on the same footing in the debate, but you are the only one who’s even slightly buying that.

and curiously, you keep yelling at me. It’s almost as if you are not actually any better than me (because otherwise you would speaking with world leaders about this or something) or perhaps a scholar on the topic and busy studying, or you would just post an actually informative comment and leave it at that, because nothing more need be said, but nope, 12 comment chain instead.

You still refuse to answer very simple yes or no questions: is Israel committing warcrimes?

Oh look, another question you haven’t asked yet which btw, yes israel is comitting war crimes, and so has hamas. It’s almost like answering actual questions is, rather easy.

Is there a genocide being committed?

again, i don’t know, and seeing as there is currently a court case on it, i will wait for that verdict. My opinion simply is not as valuable as the world of legal scholars and experts, but curiously, you seem to think your opinion is somehow more objectively right than those, even though they haven’t yet deliberated on it.

You pretend to answer

respond to my actual answers pussy.

“Fake news fake news, everything is an opinion, facts don’t exist! Israel is just defending itself! Genocide doesn’t exist! Palestinians are animals, you can’t genocide animals!”

cool quote, where’d you get it from?

How did you enjoy your birthright year?

no clue what this is supposed to mean, but i assume it’s jewish, and in which case, it would probably be offensive in this context, but i’m not jewish so it isn’t my place to decide (oops there goes my logic making sense again)

Genocide hasn’t been determined, as again, ICC procedures take time. Why are you ignoring this?

Yeah, this is exactly what i said, you’re literally paraphrasing the exact thing i said, and then asking me why i’m ignoring it, when i’ve literally stated it at least three times. Yes court takes time, that’s why i fucking trust it to be accurate. There is little to no benefit in the court ruling incorrectly, so when they inevitably rule one way or they other, it’ll be final, and if not, then it will be overturned legally, of course. This is the wonderful thing about the court system, it’s fully self regulated and has procedures for everything

Why are you claiming there is no evidence, when there is enough evidence for the ICC to find “reasonable grounds” for prosecuting and seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant?

oh boy what a blatant mischaracterization you’ve got here, you really seem to be losing your grips on this conversation now huh? First of all. I personally do not have enough information (not evidence) on whether or not there is an past, present, or future tense genocide happening in palestine at this very time. Unfortunately i don’t exactly have copious amounts of time to dedicated to reading up on legal paperwork and various different court rulings as well as going to palestine, or at the very least, interacting with people from either side to see what’s actually going on around the area.

And as a result, i am doing the very responsible thing of staying nuanced and undecided. It’s a rather remarkable thing really, not being politically charged in any given direction, makes for quite a peaceful life, it’s nice, you should try it.

also, evidence is a bit of a stretch, we’re talking about genocide here, you either kill hundreds of thousands of people, or you don’t. It’s more accurately “suspected grounds for genocide” unless of course the evidence you’re referring to here is the active warzone. But that wouldn’t make your case sound as strong otherwise would it? Perhaps the ruling courts are using the term evidence? I have no idea. That’s possible.

on the basis that they committed the war crime of ‘intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare’

ah curious, a charge that isn’t genocide! In fact, not a single block of text you ripped includes the word genocide, fascinating.

But no, there’s “no evidence”, right?

Are you familiar with the USSRs history? Their own people starved, very frequently, they were put through literal labor camps, even to this day, russia still uses labor camps for punishment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_labor_colony

Yet they haven’t been charged with genocide once to my knowledge, though originally, the USSR included a draft on the genocide clause that stated it would not apply to your own people. So there is that, but i’m guessing that was removed at some point.

You’re not just being a willfully ignorant brainwashed git who’s ignoring all the literal evidence and having a tantrum, right?

Ah yes, i’m the one having a tantrum here.

But you won’t even read those chapters, and even if you did, your programming won’t allow you to accept them. It’s despicable. Get a fucking grip on your own head.

bro the first four chapters are about starvation and intentional withholding of supplies and food. It’s literally referred to as starvation, not genocide.

markdown formatting is weird bruh, sometimes it adds spaces, sometimes it removes them sometimes it just fucking yeets newlines, sometimes it adds them, what a weird “standard”

2048. Though im sure that one has ads. Probably depends on what you grab from the internet, as usual.

Mobile games suck.

continuation of last comment :)

For the record, I love reading. It’s just that you’re not producing text. You’re producing gibberish you think is convincing rhetoric. It’s sort of like watching a five-year old play kitchen. You have absolutely no idea of the words you use and your rhetoric is elementary.

i enjoy reading also, it’s often just technical material or something sociological in nature. I should say the same thing about you, you’ve done nothing but reiterate the same points for the first five or however many comments you made, i simply responded in kind, you’ll notice i responded to actually engaging questions in this one!

my brother in christ you do nothing more than post links to shit other people have said and reiterate what they say while being mad, you are literally the equivalent of a piece of silicon processing USB signals.

You ignore the evidence

brother, the evidence you are posting is people going “yeah we think this might be genocide, and we would like for it not happen please” Like i’m sorry but if this were documentation about a nuclear reactor i’d be reading a hand manual for a fucking blender right now.

You ignore the fact that ICJ and ICC courts take a significant amount of time.

yeah, it’s a court, of course they do, why do you think i’m waiting until the finalize their statement on this situation? Lmao.

If you were right now being held for trial for allegedly having raped 800 children and there were hundreds of hours of filmed evidence of you doing it, do you think it’d mean you’re innocent because you’ve not yet got a guilty verdict?

hmm let’s see, and if i were david mcbride, rotting in australia prison right now, for “committing warcrimes” when i merely exposed actual war crimes, and how they were covered up, by charging people who DIDN’T COMMIT THOSE WARCRIMES. How would i feel about the situation? Idk probably devasted, but like, i think this is probably the least of our concerns. Julian assange was only recently freed, and he didn’t even do shit.

Also, legally speaking, it’s undecided until the verdict, unless pleas deal technically, but the same standard applies so whatever.

The phrase “innocent until proven guilty” is more about how we should treat people going through the court, you know, salem witch trial type shit.

You’re despicable. And it shows from you getting so utterly pissed when I sussed out so easily that you’re probably part of this group and of Jewish American descent, went to your birthright (because you couldn’t afford a holiday anytime else) and got brainwashed so bad that now you’re getting literally cross-brained trying to not to admit what the scum of Israel are doing.

damn, you really hung yourself out to dry on this one huh. Unfortunately i just so happened to respond with actual responses this time. RIP.

Why do you ignore all the evidence?

the shit you’re posting is bad homie. It’s not good evidence. It’s the metaphorical equivalent of me scrawling on a napkin that there is 12 million dollars in cash in a forest somewhere in ohio, at these coordinates, and then handing it to you.

I read all your childish garbage utterings. None of them have a lick of an argument behind them. It’s like piss-poor rhetoric from a malnourished Soviet official who started vodka on an empty stomach; zero literacy and stumbling all over in a panic because they know they’re in trouble.

this ones clever, i like this one.

And how exactly did you get “I hate reading” from “I hate genocidal fucks like you”?

i’m mocking you for saying the same thing repeatedly, it’s fucking cringe bro. We get it, you cannot stomach the thought that sometimes people disagree with you.

Weirdly you keep avoiding actually mentioning any, just going on with vague “both sides” bullshit and “not enough evidence” patheticism.

ironically, i do answer it, you just keep ignoring it, for some reason, i’ve given a very clear answer.

Do you think Israelis are at an equal risk of being the victims of genocide as Palestinians are?

oh good, a good question, i actually really like this question.

To answer your question, if we’re talking from a military power standpoint, israelis have a significantly less risk of “being genocided” as opposed to “palestinians” though this is within the context of this war specifically. The reason why is because israel is a massive military state, (they own f35s btw, they’re basically a US proxy with how much military power they have) Palestine on the other hand, gets weapon shipments from iran, as per usual. I believe there are also a few other imports they have, but they’re the usual primary suspects, from my understanding though it’s primarily iran using it as an excuse to proxy war.

Looking at a state size and population metric, it’s hard to argue against the claim as well, there are simply more people in israel.

If we’re arguing outside the context of the war, from the perspective of the middle east? I don’t know, depends on how well relations between israel, and the rest of the middle east are i suppose. Palestine would be basically the rest of the middle east, aside from the fact that it borders israel (again, we’re ignoring everything else, this is a purely geographic/demographic based analysis)

Wow! Look at that, when you ask good questions, it’s almost like it’s possible to receive good answers!

ANSWER CLEARLY; since I’m clearly incapable of perceiving anything other. (Or you just equivocate because you know what is the right side of history but you don’t actually want to go against your brainwashing of DO NOT CRITICISE ISRAEL DO NOT CRITICISE ISRAEL.)

since you seem to think i cannot criticize israel at all, it is clearly impossible for me to do so. Even though i have said NOTHING about israel, i will now go on to criticize israel and their wartime efforts.

Let’s see, notably in the public eye, the civilian causalities have been rather high. But then again, russia has also lost 300,000 troops in combat, granted not civilian, they’re mostly conscripts and draft picks. (a significant portion of which have been ethnic minorities living in russia, so if we’re talking about genocide, arguably russia has been technically been doing a genocide, just very quietly) Perhaps that should make you sick to your stomach as well. Ukraine has also suffered losses, but they have also evacuated millions of people, to my knowledge. So most of which would’ve been people who didn’t evacuate (likely by choice) or soldiers.

The public eye is rather boring though, so let’s go a little bit deeper, israels control over gaza over the last period of however long it’s been going on for is rather concerning. There’s very little freedom living in gaza, but then again, hamas did decide to war against israel, so how much of that is really “israel bad” and how much of that is “hamas bad” is a question left up to interpretation i suppose. These kinds of thing when in war are so inconsequential it’s not even worth considering though.

Israel absolutely has all kinds of propaganda, i’m not versed on what is confirmed propaganda, but i’ve heard a lot of stuff is, and a lot of stuff isn’t though i’m almost certain that some of it is.

Public PR wise, netanyahu is terrible. Unless you’re jewish probably. He seems like a goofy guy, seems to be stuck in an awkward spot where most of his government isn’t supporting him, except for the far right, so he seems to be leaning on them in order to stay in power. The public in israel doesn’t seem to be happy with what he’s doing.

Long term, israel doesn’t seem to have a plan, they seem to either war constantly, or not. They don’t seem to have any sort of long term solution at all. Which is obviously, not helpful at all. They really seem content to just, keep warring. When they do stop warring, they seem to cause problems. Often times shit happens that really shouldn’t (arguably hamas is one)

You didn’t read it, got it. You skimmed and concluded “there’s no sentence” and thought that’s it. That’s exactly my point about the way you “argue.”

nah i just don’t remember what i typed because it’s been like three fucking days and i’m not scrolling up to make a coherent point about some shit i’m clearly philosophically babbling about.

No, it isn’t, unless you’re pushing Israeli propaganda.

yes it is? It’s literally war? Go find ANY open source intelligence community working on military stuff, anywhere, and please tell me how confident they are in what they find, and what they predict. You’ll find that they aren’t confident at all, and in fact just propose ideas. It’s really quite boring, but i find it rather interesting.

Again. Literally the vast fucking majority of the world agree it’s a genocide.

again, i think this is a slight mischaracterization. This is a list of countries around the world who support south africas legal inquiry to whether or not this is considered to be genocide. Meaning that they would like for a just answer to the question at hand.

“The president expressed his support for South Africa’s initiative to call on the International Court of Justice to order Israel to immediately cease all acts and measures that may constitute genocide”

Hey look at that! it’s a quote directly from the segment you quote from on wikipedia! It says EXACTLY what i said it would probably say, isn’t that weird? It’s almost like i know some things.

it’s much simpler to show that the legal definition of a genocide (which you tried looking up on fucking wikipedia :DDD

woah, look at that, an actual legal definition, you could’ve just linked that in the first post, or comment, i don’t remember how this thread started anymore and we wouldn’t be here!

Regardless i still have some issue with the definition as stated, because it has no (at least none that i can find) stipulations for anything regarding an actual war, because it turns out, most wars would arguably be defined as genocide under that definition. The USSR against Afhgan war? Genocide. WW1? Genocide. Numerous genocides infact! Japanese sino war? Also probably genocide! Japanese russo war? Also probably genocide! The mexican american war? Also, still probably genocide.

anyway, enough contextual meandering, that’s not the point, i’m just making a point here.

Yeah, because you’re **PURPOSEFULLY IGNORING ALL THE INTERNATIONAL LAW EXPERTS AND GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS LOUDLY CRYING GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE GENOCIDE."

little fun fact for you, human rights orgs are primarily opposed to this, because it’s a fucking war. Nobody likes war. Also just because someone is an expert doesn’t mean you should listen to them, and or fully believe them. here’s a little tidbit of information for you. Most of these experts particularly the law experts, are probably rather infamiliar with local cultural customs and differences between the east and the west, which is almost certainly an influencing factor for this war. A lot of them are likely getting lots of air time. (which also means money) and the media loves money! We know this.

Also, they’re loudly crying genocide. Nobody wants to fucking listen to anybody doing that. It’s literally the boy who cried wolf. If it’s actually a genocide, the currently ongoing court case slated to determine this question, will fucking tell us. As for now, how do we talk about this? Simple, don’t call it a genocide, because we don’t fucking know. You wanna talk about war crimes? That’s great, i’ll listen, there’s something actually tangible there. You wanna talk about human rights? That’s another big thing, that’s a tangible thing.

Stating that this is genocide is like me stating that the world is going to end october 22 2042. It doesn’t matter to you whether i’m factually right about it, maybe i’m fucking god for all you know. There’s nothing of tangible substance there. You can’t do anything with that. Therefore, you don’t care.

Here’s the Israeli Defence Minister directly announcing that they are fighting “HUMAN ANIMALS”. (Perhaps google the word “dehumanisation”.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPdR3E4hCk (edit forgot to add this link)

hey look, a good argument against israel, sure is weird how when you bring up tangible things, stuff starts to become a lot more reasonable doesn’t it?

You’re like a Flat Earther insisting he’s using objective science. You’re like a scientologists, denouncing psychiatry. You’re like a transphobe screaming “there are only two genders.” ALL the fucking experts disagree with you, but you’re not man enough to admit when you’re wrong, or even man enough to understand you should stop shaming yourself online.

i could say the exact same thing to you, and it would be equally as valid. This is a bad argument. I won’t entertain it.

“NO WAY OF KNOWING :///////”"

you link things that do not claim there is an active genocide (in the headline at least) and the one that does, is lying.

Ah, there’s nothing I can do to fix a sick puppy like you

i appreciate that you picked up the furry lore. :)

You will never admit Israel is raping and pillaging Palestinians

they might be, idk, russia might have been doing the same thing in ukraine, wars fucked bro. You see that video from wagner of the POW being sledehammered?

oops, character limit, comment in reply to this one coming up soon!

Like I said, people like you make me sick to my fucking stomach.

reading the english language makes me nauseous, oh woe is me my head hurts now.

Your childish word-salad is making me laugh out-loud. You don’t even get a “good try”. Sorry boy-o.

damn, the words, what do they mean. A question for the future times i suppose.

So you deny the Genocide in Gaza?

I’m not saying anything in specific with regards to the israel palestine situation other than the fact that “shit’s fucked” right now. Could there be a genocide? I suppose so. I would need more definite proof before coming to that determination. You keep pretending like not having a binary answer going one way or the other is literally impossible. It might be if you have the collective reasoning and critical thinking skills of a toddler, unfortunately, i have been blessed with the mental faculties, of a grown adult human. and therefore i have to contend with the realities of the world, because they are simply a thing that exist.

No need to equivocate like that, your stance is clear.

what the fuck do you mean? I have explicitly stated what my stance on this is, multiple times, it’s the same everytime, if you think it’s any different that’s a problem with your comprehension. You have probably gaslit yourself into thinking that i have an opinion on something, that i genuinely do not have an opinion on other than “idk war bad” I would go into it with more depth but clearly that would confuse you, since you seem to lack the capability of interpreting a non binary answer.

You need to read it more clearly. Your grasp of language is horrible. You don’t understand the differences between terms like state, ethnicity, nation, nation-state

perhaps, one could argue that i was making a point about the intricacies in small things making determination of larger concepts a much harder process. Seems like you have that part ironed out, though it seems you’re more set on yelling at me and calling me a “genocide defending fuckhead”

You don’t understand what it takes for the ICJ and the ICC to admit that there is a case here. They do not admit to genocide lightly, and the trial is still open.

yeah i don’t, and you probably don’t either, what i do understand is how the court works. Once there is a set ruled verdict on this case, it will be a settled matter, and i will not have to expend energy on it, as it will be decided in the global court of law as it should be not on the internet, by angry people who may or may not even be real.

WHO is arguing that there ISN’T a genocide?

oh i don’t know, let’s see here, a significant portion of the media, a good chunk of israel, a good chunk of the israeli population, probably a pretty big segment of the jewish population as well. Idk man, seems like quite a few people here to me.

A majority of countries have decided that yes, it is indeed a genocide and yes, Israel is criminal scum and only a tiny minority of countries (like the US) deny the genocide.

There is no decision here, unless we are talking about the court case, and if we’re talking about the court case, then no, there is no decision because it has not run its due course yet. This is the entire point of the case. You don’t build a global legal system intending to prevent things like genocide, and then ONLY use it when there is 100% provable, for certain genocide going on. Because then it would, ironically, miss genocide. The whole point of it is to be a check and balance on the various members of the international community hopefully ensuring that something like ww2 never has to happen again.

These countries might publicly report that they believe this, but this is also just that they believe it, and i would presume it’s probably “we believe that israel might be perpetrating genocide” rather than the aforementioned 100% affirmative, you seem to continually and regularly use.

There are THOUSANDS of experts on international law who don’t hesitate a second to call it what it is; GENOCIDE

oh cool, so you probably have a document included the signed, consented opinion of thousands of international law experts saying verbatim “i believe that israel has 100% committed genocide” that isn’t just going to be a 300 hundred page document about the potentiality that israel has committed genocide? I find it curious that you don’t link anything the first time around, seems like you’re here to yell at people first and provide sources later, seems rather irresponsible to me.

But you stand on the side of the Nazis. Fucking disgusting.

i literally don’t, and you can’t prove otherwise, and you haven’t proven otherwise. Try harder kiddo.

Alright, come have an actual voice chat and webcam with me which I will record it and post it here. With your own name, of course, as this is real life we’re talking about.

you are literally asking me to doxx myself, very cool. Super cool, perchance can i have your full legal name? Also why would i? Doxx me and come say hi :)

But you won’t do that, because you’re a scared little kid who has been brainwashed and is unable to question said propaganda, which is why you push it despite not really believing in it, which is why you have to argue in bad faith, which is why you pretend Lemmy is “real life”* and which is why you pretend you don’t know how to Google and which is why you equivocate two pages of utter gibberish.

just for the record here, i’m not going to do it because i have nothing i want to say to you. Nor do i care enough about this ordeal to deal with someone on a level like this. But yeah no i guess the “nuance” propaganda has really gotten into my brain and it has really affected me now. It’s affected me so deeply that i’ve completely broken down my entire life view, and rebuilt it from the ground up, just so i could have a view on life that wasn’t defined by any existing structure or ideology in particular. I guess that propaganda has really worked it’s way in huh? The years of isolation in pursuit of meaning have culminated in the end result of nothing after this long period of time. (i also do not have a webcam, so)

You’re sitting here pretending that discord is real life, why are you accosting me for saying that lemmy is real life (ignoring the fact that this is a blatant mischaracterization) lemmy would be considered to be an extension of life, arguably, an extension of the socialization of life specifically. Since most people don’t use lemmy much outside of socializing. But that’s clearly too much of an abstract concept for you.

also i don’t think you understand what the definition of equivocation is, you’re the one equivocating my statements lol. Equivocal just means that something is “not clearly defined/stated” an equivocation is using that specific mechanism to work around a certain thing, most commonly a question. If you were to ask me a question, to which i was to respond with something that isn’t an answer, that would be an equivocation. I however, am responding with an answer. It’s very clear.

Also i like the little extra asterisk after the quoted italics section, very cute, i can see you were rather angry when typing that section out.

So, you would outright deny that there is a genocide in Gaza, is that right?

to rephrase this a little bit, since you’re very clearly loading the statements here. Just because i feel a little bit generous.

“so, would you consider what israel is doing in gaza, to be equivalent to a genocide?”

my short answer would be “no, because i do not have a clear understanding of the situation to a point where i can make a reasonably informed decision on the matter.”

My long answer, would be: Given the historical contexts of what is currently going on in israel/palestine at the given moment, it is extremely difficult to give a concise answer to the question, adding all of the propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation out there on the internet, from both sides (we know this part from the ukraine, russia war, it’s very apparent) that there is almost no reputable source of information regarding any one topic on the matter, as it differs from person to person. Combined with the given definition of genocide being a particular action, and this being a very definite war. It’s hard to delineate between where war stops, and genocide ends. When we include middle eastern culture into this it only gets less defined.

In short, i have no reasonable way, manner, or method, to make a well informed opinion of the events taking place, including my understood lack of knowledge on the topic, such that i wouldn’t be disseminating some form of misinformation, or disinformation, which is not something i wish to do. Combine that with the general stance i have on providing other people free will, and not trying to influence people in any particular manner, it would not benefit me in any manner either. The best i can do is to coalesce my known information into one place, and collect my thoughts in a manner that allows me to best express my understanding of the situation, in hopes that it gives other people insight into what’s going on, on some rudimentary level, while on top of that, instilling in them a healthy dose of nuance.

although i’m sure nothing i could say would satiate your desires for conflict.

avoiding showing your face

oh please, show me your face! I’m sure it’s pretty. Or will you not, because you don’t stand for your own morals? I will continue to not, because my morals are simply different from yours, and that’s ok. That makes me no less of a person than you, just anonymous. As i prefer to be on the internet, presumably, like you currently are, and will continue to be, because you have no interest in revealing your identity to me as it could bring unforeseen consequences. Which, is fine. Though hypocritical given your previous statements. Perhaps you could even do some equivocation of your own there?

park is an incredibly broad definition. Are we talking a national park? Fucking yellowstone? A childrens playground? A public park? A parking lot? All of these are very different from each other, and some of these would make more sense than others.

in fact, going by the most broad definition “An area of land set aside for public use, as.” this includes places like the DMV, or local government buildings, and my personal favorite. Memorial sites.

you have got to give me something to work with here if you’re going to sit there and call me stupid.

you sure seem assmad about this one.

Are we going to deal with a 5 year old shitting their pants in the middle of a public park also? And if so at what point should i be dealing with my shit pants in public, because that is technically, a thing that can happen.

i would presume that would be what one is to do. It seems the logical solution here.

you can debloat windows, yeah. But it might also install malware on your system, or irreversibly break windows as microsoft is well known for not breaking things

you could try and debug issues, i guess. Good luck. You could use a software repository, there are three to choose from!

Windows is theoretically built in a modular manner that prevents things from being weirdly placed and hard to track down, but it isn’t adhered too!

Most problems with windows, are ironically, not really a problem with windows. But a problem with microsoft specifically, or the way that software is developed for windows.
