    Every day is an October 7th in Gaza


    That’s the scary and equally sad part.


    I hope the civilians may lead a life of peace

    A dozen or so. I went to college in California, this should not be shocking. It was only available as a minor in my university, but I would say that still counts as "studying" gender studies, right? They were in the classes and spouting the bullshit.
    I wouldn't say everyone I met pursuing a JD or MBA was universally stupid (MBA maybe ;)). There was a former Army spec ops guy I knew in law school that saw the bank failures coming in 2008-9 and made a killing shorting bank stocks, for example. I wish I had given him all my disposable income to invest.
    There has never been a day in Gaza like October 7th. The Israelis would never just go into Gaza and kill all the civilians they could reach. If the Israelis attacked Gaza with the same mindset that the Gazans attacked Israel, there would be no people left in Gaza.

    If Israeli is the scums magnet what does that make Saudis who slaughtered 400k Muslims in the previous 5 years? Saudis starved 80k children to death?

    Which Muslim countries proposed boycotting umrah during that time? I'll be waiting

    Avoid deportation? I'm a dual citizen of uk/usa.... I'm not worried about deportations. What annoys me is low iq Muslims who have no issues with Muslims slaughtering other Muslims.

    Not a single Muslim country boycotted Saudi while they were literally starving children to death. Not a single massive protest or boycott. Nada.

    It's just fascinating how braindead dumb so many are

    Oh course you don't give a fk about Yemeni Muslims because they don't fit your narrative. Muslim autocrats are able to slaughter as many Muslims as they want with no pushback from the Muslims community cuz they're not jews. If a jew kills a Muslim its somehow 1000x worst.

    Muslims slaughter and starving Muslims = cool story
    Israel killing Muslims = genocide and they're the scum of the world lol.

    It's just funny

    This is rather bad faith framing.


    1. I don't think an American politician would ever say something like this:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/BreakingPointsNews/s/0bUrJPbryQ

    About Saudi Arabia.

    2. American politicians will not be called islamophobic like Ilhan Omar demanding the US government end all security ties with Saudi Arabia:
    https://www.muslimnetwork.tv/ilhan-...udi-arabia-after-reports-of-migrant-killings/

    And ask for Muslims to boycott hajj




    I remember once explaining the difference between advocating/protesting vs virtue signaling


    One is expressing a desire that is against the status quo and the other is just repeating ideas or moral platitudes that most already agree on.

    Anyone here believe there is some sacred level of protection towards countries like Saudi where people are immediately accused of bigotry for criticizing Saudi?

    Why not both?

    I have seen scummy and predictably scummy behavior from both Israel and the Palestinians.

    Painting this as a both sides thing is wrong. Hamas are terrorists.

    If you have rapists on one side, hostage takers on that same side, indoctrinators of children with hate on that same side - then you are morally wrong to paint this as a "both sides" issue.

    They view each other as existential threats...a matter of Good vs Evil.

    When things are reduced in binary and morphs into a war of survival, anything goes. We even have that in America right now.

    Anyone who can remember pre-9/11 will see this differently than the tiktok generation yet it's inherently the same conflict.

    Rather than "oppressor vs oppressed" or "barbarism vs modern order", this is more of a herpes flareup that magnifies with nuclear/arms proliferation and a different generational worldview (tiktok brain rot).

    Does this Hamas can interview a Black woman from Harvard so they will have some diversity and equity in their organization?
    I heard she wrote an essay that was almost as good as the prophet would

    We disagree.

    Hamas certainly are terrorists, and they are disgusting. I shed no tears for them.

    However, Israel has done horrific things as well. They have subjugated the Palestinians to apartheid rule for 50 years. They have starved and squeezed out the Palestinians and have and continue to establish settlements in the WestBank. Their leader wants to push all of the Palestinians into Egypt so that Israel can annex the occupied territory into Israel. Their leader has been against a two party solution. Israel has purposely supported Hamas over Abbas because it helps slow any two-state solution.

    A lot of the issues in Palestine are at least in part a result of the action of Israel.

    I know you don't agree with that - but the evidence is very strong.

    I have seen very little positive come out of the Israeli/Palestinians conflict from either side. There is a lot of motivation based on hatred and greed.

    They are a collective rat king - they just react and at the end they will likely all end up dead together.... Muslim and Jew.

    It is lazy. Until there is some degree of acceptance that both sides have been shitty, nothing will change.

    Again - it gets old.

    Yes, it is the same - stubborn assholes on both sides, that result in multiple generations of people suffering.

    Right - except this is like having herpes spread to your wife's butt. That isn't fun for anyone.
