Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And half a dozen months ago they could have had a ceasefire to have them released, along with the ones that STILL aren't released.

Nah, that was the one that Egypt fucked up. There had not been an actual agreed upon hostage transfer since the first one. Hamas also won’t give actual information on the hostages. This whole thing is just war crimes the whole way down.

"we don't negotiate with terrorists" and that stance is "non-negotiable." If only these terrorists would just stop and do what we want.

So you think we should negotiate with terrorists? Give them something to make them stop what they're doing today, and they definitely won't commit more terrorism later in the hope of getting more things later.

Maybe just stick to eating ass, Adam.

Spain did successfully negotiate with ETA, and there is no more ETA today. Colombia's government negotiated with the FARC, and the immense majority of the FARC have gotten peacefully integrated in their country's parliamentary system.

If I looked into those organizations, I would bet they were probably at the point of talking reasonable concessions, and probably resembled a proper government, albeit radical or militant.

Hamas is not at that point.

Hamas is not at that point.

So, how many bombs still need to be dropped on Palestine to get them there?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would require Hamas to care about Palestinians. Their leadership is a bunch of wealthy shitheads living it up in the UAE. They hold a dictatorship over Palestine and refuse to have elections.

To actually get Hamas there, you probably need to target the rich people giving orders.

So you don't know anything about those terrorist organisations, don't want to read up on them, and instead just assume.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just to be clear: are you talking about the Palestinian terrorists or the Israeli terrorists?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Maybe you're right, the world tries to negotiate with israel all the time to no avail.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Well from the other side the IDF are the terrorists, since they’re terrorising Gaza indiscriminately.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't negotiate with Israel either
