A community for discussing events around the World

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.

They just pointed out how using your logic neither side has any credibility due to their subjugation and murdering of innocent civilians.

The events of the past are not relevant when the events of the current are beyond the boundaries of what's acceptable to the rest of humanity.

Except in this case both parties actively go beyond the boundaries of what's acceptable to the rest of humanity

Also that "events of the past" vs "events of the current" dichotomy is just some S-tier mental gymnastics. It's all in the past. The Hamas attack, Israel's more recent attack that also killed loads of civilians. If you know about the event, then it's already happened. That's just how time works.

They're just choosing some arbitrary point in the past to start counting so they can claim one side is the victim and the other are the terrorists, but they're pretending to have some objective basis for it although that falls down the moment you look at it.

Well let's go all the way back then. What does the Israelis own history say vis a vis the Bible / Torah? Oh yeah it says the cannaanites were there first and the only claim they have to that land is literally " we know u were here but god told us this is ours"
