You know what? All these student, professors, so-called professionals who are rallying for Palestine, Gaza or Hamas should be pulled into that auditorium. Seat belt them down to the chair. And force them to watch this.
These people and their beliefs...
A Doctor...In a University...For highly educated people.
What Hamas did to a family.
Does anyone here know how open the internet is in Gaza? Is it a place where you log on and can do and see everything?
A google check says Israel controls telcom. Assuming that is true, what kind of service does Gaza get? Open? Or is it like some North Korea lock down mode where Israel purposely only lets Gaza people see certain stuff?
Because you'd think with people being nailed with propaganda from birth, couldnt you just surf the net, check out how free people are and how cultures get along, and just say to yourselves it's pretty stupid to be anti-Jew or being into hardcore wacky religion?
Just copy other people you see and chill out.
Yeah, that's a general ignorance of stereotyping. Very easy to look at a Sheikh and tell they're not with Islam but for some; any head covering is muslim. Many Sheikh's are for Israel in this right now.I hope the dude in the turban wasn't placed in the tweet to insinuate that Muslims saw the footage, too. That guy in the turban is a Sheikh, the complete opposite of a Muslim.
The Arnold video is great as if you were considering volunteering for the U.S. military or IDF. You'd not want your motive to get too cluttered with hate or you become all too much like those you're fighting. Terrorist train on hatred and their backwater religion. Chappelle had a lot of respect with many for simply not catering to certain politics and overall PC culture. He could have used that same reputation to say something wise. Then again, he blew it like many in the entertainment industry. Even if he tried to step backwards and redact what he's said; it comes off wishy-washy and he'd sound unstable. People like that need to run their mouth less and show what they can do with hand's on support. Like I said in a prior post, if this whole thing ever cools down -- some will not recover their reputation in their lifetime for what they're supporting, things they've said or done or simply by batting a blind eye.That Arnold Schwarzenegger video is great. I've always enjoyed his movies and I am pretty sure he was the best governor of California.
Now Dave Chappelle on the other hand, dang. If he doesn't come out with a really nice formal apology, I guess I am done being entertained by him. Idiot.
Journalist (especially with the long history like A.P.) have the ability to do so much more. Not sure how long this has been a things but trying to paraphrase or whitewash terrorism with the word 'militant' is beyond negligent. This all reads like they're having an argument with themselves about black & white definitions to avoid backlash for censorship before publishing. If they're going to sugar-coat like this and leave massive footnotes or disclaimers like this; better they just write what they really want to say. But, they're crafty and don't want to be out of a job; so that's why we get...this.Associated Press style guidelines for the Israel-Gaza war. They prohibit describing Hamas as terrorists except in direct quotes, claiming that it is a politicized term.

Israel-Hamas Topical Guide
Terms, background and guidance related to the Israel-Hamas war, compiled from Associated Press coverage, AP experts and the AP Stylebook. Newsrooms and organizations outside the AP might make decisions that differ from the AP's specific recommendations.
See full AP coverage for updates and more background, context and terms.
Hamas militants stormed from the blockaded Gaza Strip into nearby Israeli towns on Oct. 7, which coincided with a major Jewish holiday. The attack, which killed hundreds of civilians, stunned Israel and caught its vaunted military and intelligence apparatus completely off guard.
Israel immediately launched airstrikes on Gaza, destroying entire neighborhoods and killing hundreds of Palestinian civilians in the days that have followed. The war has become the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides. At least 199 people, including children, were captured by Hamas and taken into Gaza, according to Israel.
The leader of Hamas' military wing, Mohammed Deif, said in a recorded message that the assault was in response to Israel's 16-year blockade of Gaza; Israeli raids inside West Bank cities over the past year, violence at at the Al-Aqsa Mosque — built on a contested Jerusalem holy site sacred to Jews as the Temple Mount; increased attacks by settlers on Palestinians; and the expansion of Jewish settlements on occupied lands Palestinians claim for a future state.
The Hamas attack came on Simchat Torah, a normally joyous day when Jews complete the annual cycle of reading the Torah scroll. Israel declared war the next day. Previous Israel-Hamas wars were in 2008, 2012, 2014 and 2021.
balance
When approaching the 75-year Israeli-Arab and Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is important to understand the deep wells of anger, hurt, bitterness and grievance built up over generations among Israelis and Palestinians who have lived with insecurity and conflict their whole lives, and who have seen many attempts at negotiation and mediation fail.
In some ways, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the world's most intractable problem.
Words should be chosen carefully to reflect respect for different perspectives on the conflict. Palestinians are divided between more moderate and more radical viewpoints. Similarly, among Israelis, some take a more far-right and ultranationalist approach to Palestinian demands and aspirations, and there are those who would want to achieve a peaceful co-existence.
Avoid stereotyping, discuss nuance, and in broad ways maintain a balanced perspective. When talking about attacks, keep in mind that in a conflict going back so many years, there are often many antecedents.
Israel-Hamas war
The Associated Press is calling the present conflict between Israel and the militant Palestinian group Hamas a war, given the widespread and ongoing nature of military operations in Israel and Gaza.
The decision was made in consideration of the high number of casualties, the mobilization of armies, the organized, cross-border fighting and bombardments, and Israel's declaration of war and announcement that Gaza will be under siege.
For the time being, it can be called the latest war between Israel and Hamas, the latest Israel-Hamas war or simply the Israel-Hamas war if the context makes clear that the reference is not to a previous war.
Do not use terms such as Israel-Palestinian war or Gaza war.
Lowercase the word war. AP capitalizes that word only as part of a formal name, which as of now does not exist.
terrorism
The calculated use of violence, especially against civilians, to create terror to disrupt and demoralize societies for political ends.
The terms terrorism and terrorist have become politicized, and often are applied inconsistently. Because they can be used to label such a wide range of actions and events, and because the debate around them is so intense, detailing what happened is more precise and better serves audiences.
Therefore, the AP is not using the terms for specific actions or groups, other than in direct quotations or when attributed to authorities or others. Instead, we describe specific atrocities, massacres, bombings, assassinations and other such actions.
In the past, the AP had used the terms without attribution sparingly and with great caution.
We continue to use the terms in broad references to terrorism as a threat and anti-terrorism efforts, fear of terror, etc.
militant, militants
AP uses this term to describe Hamas, in keeping with the Webster's New World College Dictionary definition: ready and willing to fight; especially, vigorous or aggressive in supporting or promoting a cause; and Merriam-Webster: aggressively active (as in a cause).
Terms such as Hamas fighters, attackers or combatants are also acceptable depending on the context.
Do not use the term Hamas soldiers or Hamas resistance, other than in direct quotations.
The Israeli army has soldiers. It also can be called the Israeli military. Use its official name, Israel Defense Forces, and the acronym IDF only in direct quotations.

Not sure why this would be fake given what Surah Ani-Nise 4:34 says:Hahaha.
Can someone confirm this is not some fake subtitles? I find this hard to believe, but on the other hand anything is possible...
And yet there are still people trying to defend this.Here's a Middle East journalist who attended the screening:
That's just what they saw. They also boobytrapped every body. Just in the Kibutz Be'eri 100+ bodies were boobytrapped.And yet there are still people trying to defend this.
I hope the dude in the turban wasn't placed in the tweet to insinuate that Muslims saw the footage, too. That guy in the turban is a Sheikh, the complete opposite of a Muslim.
I think you guys mean Sikh, lolYeah, that's a general ignorance of stereotyping. Very easy to look at a Sheikh and tell they're not with Islam but for some; any head covering is muslim. Many Sheikh's are for Israel in this right now.
Hahaha.

Sheiks are most definitely Arab and Muslim.
Sikh is the peaceful Indian religion....
show this guy saw and he is like that was mid
Gerard Depardieu is not impressed. He has seen some shit during his time with Russia.
You mean Sikh, right?I hope the dude in the turban wasn't placed in the tweet to insinuate that Muslims saw the footage, too. That guy in the turban is a Sheikh, the complete opposite of a Muslim.
love dave but on this naw fam.Dave Chappelle Criticizes Israel, Spars With Crowd at Boston Show
Dave Chappelle criticized Israel's bombing of Gaza at a performance in Boston in which the comedian accused the U.S. of aiding the slaughter of innocent civilians. In the show at TD Garden on Thursday, Chappelle first condemned the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas militants, but criticized what he swww.wsj.com
I just can't. There's nothing sadder for me to see a Jewish person being so naive. A lot of the people that were butchered or kidnapped were there and wanted peace, one of the hostages who were freed today, she and her husband (still kidnapped) used to drive Palestinians from Gaza to Israeli hospitals.
Israel: Um please keep buying our products and dumping them, we really hate when you do that
Oops. Yes, I did and stand corrected. Thanks for clarifying that so I'm not post editing.I think you guys mean Sikh, lol

Why only suspended?So this was actually true, a (banned) user here said it was someone with a loudspeaker/megaphone.

I'm just amazed at how well they indoctrinated kids like that. I mean, there's a serious problem here, look at this survey, a majority thinks the trocities were justified. I want to hope maybe they didn't actully see or know what happened. Bit this is really bad.Israeli's (or any other Western nation) as victims is the most blasphemous thing imaginable to the progressive beliefs. Only the people they support can be victims and from that comes a purity and nobility in their cause.
Challenge that and the whole thing falls apart.
They could always rebel against Hamas for example? I keep hearing all the time that people should protest and fight against "bad governments" etc.People keep saying this but where do they evacuate to?
Telling people to evacuate but not giving them anywhere safe to evacuate to is meaningless. It's even more meaningless if you attack the specific place you told them to evacuate to.

I don't find it funny, I find it scary. What the hell are they being taught?The conclusion among 18-24 is that "genocide can be justified". Hilarious.
They are being taught:I don't find it funny, I find it scary. What the hell are they being taught?
I mean, 1984 wasn't fictional after all.They are being taught:
1) Truth = bad, but "my truth" = good.
2) Science = social theories and group think.
3) History = irrelevant.
4) Math = ???.
5) Perpetrators are not at fault.
6) Good = bad.
Go ahead and have the leader of Hamas on your podcast, Lex. Everything is solvable through conversation and love.

I dont think its the education thats being taught, if anything its whats not being taught. Also, id blame the entertainment industry (music, tv, film, social media/influencers included) for pushing this free thinking anti establishment mentality. Hyper liberalism is very common among college age americans. They associate it with being progressive, open minded, and fighting The Man/big business. Only once they start a career and family do they learn start seeing the of the other side in a different light.I don't find it funny, I find it scary. What the hell are they being taught?

I tried listening to his podcasts, but the guys sounds like he's half asleep or high. Like he's sorta, sher, i'll ask some questionz.Lex is the very epitome of the term “midwit.”
She actually starts by saying there's no evidence...
