No it won't. They would lie while watching a video showing it is a lie. And later they would lie that any of it ever took place.

And his true believers would accept it all.

What do you mean when you say "a people"?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I mean I don't think that is fair. We aren't on the brink of extinction due to scientists downplaying the threat. We would likely be on the brink of extinction regardless of what the scientists did.

Counting it towards to number of people is a little silly. Checking how long a generator can run off of a liter of fuel makes much more sense.

On top of that, not only are they hoarding, but they are also stealing what comes in.

Lockdown 2: WW3 edition

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Where did I say anything about them having carte blanche to oppress? Where did I say their oppression gave them any rights? I didn't. I said that why9 was disgusting for what they said and explained why.

And no. I do not think Hamas is only in power due to things Israel has done. Beyond existing. The Muslim brotherhood existed before Israel. They have spring up in most countries that have a major Muslim population as Islamic extremists. They want a unified Muslim state under Sharia law. Even if Israel did not exist, Hamas would likely still exist in the region in some form telling the ruling powers they aren't Islamic enough. And killing people. Gay people. Women who want to have equal rights. Atheists. People who decide they don't want to be Muslim. World leaders who sign peace treaties.

Yeah it's pretty accepted now that the harsh punishments post WWI created the perfect environment for ww2. But it is also accepted that appeasement to Germany to prevent ww2 was a really bad idea as well. Parallels only go so far. I was not drawing a parallel in my above comment. I was explaining how very different the Holocaust was from the Palestinian territories.

Umm violence ended pretty much every war. Civil war and slavery and all that (in the U.S.). WW2 (that ending was real violent). Non-violence is definitely preferable, but it isn't always an option.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the same group of people who, on video, showed how they dig up pipes to use for rockets right?

They had complete control of Gaza and the whole Sinai Peninsula. Which quadrupled the size of land Israel controlled. But they gave control back to Egypt to make peace in 1978. Then in 2004-05 they completely withdrew from Gaza and dismantled and (sometimes forcefully) removed all settlements and settlers in an attempt at making peace.

Now in the first situation since for 45 years, the two groups have maintained peace. The other Arab nations were less peaceful with Israel, however. Islamic jihadists even assassinated Sadat. But there has been peace with Israel.

In the second, they used it an opportunity to essentially become a terrorist controlled territory. And increased the attacks. And reject any peace negotiations.

So what should Israel do? What solution might you suggest.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I mean, Hamas did launch one of the biggest terrorist attacks in modern history. So they are kind of to blame for Gaza getting attacked now. And they are holding a lot of civilians hostage. So they are kind of at fault. And they have refused any peace negotiations since coming in to power. So yeah they are kind of at fault.

I won't say Israel is blameless, but there have been multiple opportunities for a Palestinian state that the Palestinian governments has rejected. But there are some in power on the Palestinian side that prefer the current situation, because it benefits them.

Well maybe not this time. Israel really might kill every high ranking Hamas official this time. But historically.

Yes. Pakistani troops are definitely better trained and more controlled than the Israeli military. That sounds right. Also, you are overlooking some big differences. The civilian population could "easily" leave and did. And the Pakistani Taliban were an organized group of militants more easily separated from the general population.

Mine are totally fucked, but it is because I let my kid use my account sometimes and now YouTube just doesn't understand me as a person. It suggests stuff that neither of us want. But when I clear history and it just uses my subscriptions it is better.

Palestine has never been a recognized country. You are showing your ignorance. Prior to 1948 it was controlled by the British. Prior to that, controlled by the surrounding countries.
