Hiding behind technicalities when children are being blown to pieces is just not my style. The main difference with the use of terms such as apartheid, genocide and war crimes (no need for quotation marks) when discussing Israel is that they are pretty much main stream accepted facts. Google Israel and apartheid for example and you'll get over 29,000,000 results. In short: Carpet bombing = hyperbole Apartheid, genocide and war crimes = reality It doesn't work that way Once it has been established that you deliberately and dishonestly use the wrong words to mislead the discussion in certain aspects, then you lose all credibility , that along with saying things are true based on Google search results , the amount of results it brings up means it must be true . Well not much left to say as it would probably get deleted 2
Morch Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 6 hours ago, MrMojoRisin said: Death toll passes 8000: Palestinian Ministry of Health The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah has now confirmed the number of people killed during Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7 has risen past 8,000. 73 per cent of those killed are from vulnerable populations, including children, women and elderly people. https://www.news.com.au/world/middle-east/israelhamas-conflict-angry-mob-storms-major-airport-hunting-for-jews/news-story/771ede76128f055ae040482a4833849b How can the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah 'confirm' anything? It's not like they anywhere near the Gaza Strip, nor have access. 1

There were a lot of negative comments on that from posters. About a couple of weeks later, there was a string of stone throwing at cars near Ayhuthaya, with several accidents resulting in injuries (possibly a death, can't recall). There were many calls for capital punishment or treating it like attempted murder from the forum's patrons. Sugar pie, may your car never be hit with a half block while speeding. May the other half block not be lobbed at your precious head with the resulting consequences. Then again, hardly likely to be a risk factor for a keyboard warrior. Capital punishment would occur after a fair trial would it not? Very very different from shooting a kid on the spot. Tell me, if the kid happens to be Muslim or have a darker skin complexion, is it okay in your book to just pull the trigger without the trial?

Eliyahu advocates carpet bombing Gaza, says there is no moral prohibition against killing civilians to save Jews. Lovely words form the former Chief Rabbi? Any of those consistently calling on others to denounce Hamas wish to take the opportunity to denounce this garbage? The floor is yours.... It's a 2007 article. His words were denounced at the time (not by all, obviously) and not acted upon - because Chief Rabbis do not hold that sort of power in Israel. 1
Danny Australia Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Jingthing said: So much wrong with that vile antisemitic post but for starters Israel doesn't occupy Gaza and October 7 was the biggest massacre of non military Jews since the holocaust. The consistent use of the label "antisemitic" to accuse numerous individuals in this thread has unfortunately diluted its intended impact. I'm fortunate not to find myself in the position of Mel Gibson or any other Hollywood stars or prominent politicians who often must vigorously defend themselves. I take such accusation as a badge of honor when it’s being uttered by the likes of you. Antisemitism in fact, has seen a significant surge around the word due to crimes committed by the unethical army of Israel since the commencement of the genocide in Gaza. Just yesterday, an alarming incident unfolded when a crowd forcibly entered the Russian region of Dagestan at the airport, specifically looking for Israeli passengers. The world's attention is undeniably focused on Israel's daily crimes not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank, and the global outcry against these actions is growing stronger by the day. So go and blame the criminals in Tel Aviv for this antisemitic surge against innocent Jews worldwide and stop misusing this label. 1 1 1

No, per the example, you stole my car, and when I found you, I raped and killed your daughter, I killed your pregnant wife and baby, and then lit them on fire all while you watched, and then I killed you and burned your house down. So no, were not both criminals, you were a criminal, and I'm driving away laughing positing videos of you screaming online. You see them as being equivalent, I don't. Whatever.

Those that chose a entrenched and largely ignorant populist initial opinion are mostly those that will ignorantly defend such a position even in the face of increasingly intense global opposition to the overall direction the conflict is going in terms of mass civilian deaths . False comparatives to the Holocaust are being objected to by survivors of it. The myth of majority support for Hamas is a lie to vilify civilians as complicit in justification of indiscriminate bombing and shelling of civilians. The objectives of extremists on both sides of an established wall are identical. Those that support either side is no better then either side. . 2 2 1 1
Morch Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 6 hours ago, MrMojoRisin said: Literally? I am not sure as I am not aware of the precise definition and how it is measured. Practically? Yes! As far as my personal opinion goes - any bombing of residential areas is carpet bombing. I guess it all comes down to the difference in our morals and how much value we place on human life, particularly if the humans being bombed don't look, sound or act like us. Lower your standards enough and I'm sure it is quite easy to see all types of bombing of "enemies" as acceptable, even agreeable. What of the fact that Hamas are not the only fanatics, that Israel also has it's own fair share of them, up to including Chief Rabbi's And this from a poster going on and on about how important 'accuracy', 'facts', and 'truth' are. So, you're not sure because you're not not aware what it means - but you know it's what's done by Israel. Great bit of logic work there, mojo. Your personal definitions of things are of no interest or importance. Same goes for them self pats on the back, and virtue signalling. No one is impressed. No one takes it half seriously. If you don't like that there are difference in bombing types, tactics and so on, go and campaign to change relevant international laws. 1

Morch Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 5 hours ago, MrMojoRisin said: One man's carpet bombing is another man's right to defend themselves. Every single square inch of this topic has columns and columns of text promoting one sides views, whether truthful or not, and denouncing their opponents views, whether truthful or not, that only a fool would take anything at face value. Does the definition of the bombing really matter when the death toll of innocents is already so high. However the Israeli bombing is defined, whatever name is given to it, it does not change the fact that it is just as barbaric as Hamas cutting the heads off babies and burning families alive and gunning down festival attendees. A bloke, or a former Chief Rabbi? This article is over a decade old but it illustrates the fanaticism on both sides. Anyone who thinks their side is the good guys in this is 1000% wrong. Both sides are as awful as each other. Nope. Carpet bombing is a concept. Not something mojo gets to decide about. The definition does matter, because your usage of incorrect terminology is calculated toward pushing an agenda. For example, some concept or terms you reject outright, even though they exist - simply because they don't fit well in your narrative: "collateral damage', 'precision bombing' and others. You don't get to re-write the dictionary of terms relevant to the topic and dictate it to others. Terms used relate to legality of actions, so falsely labeling things as something they are not, goes toward misleadingly painting them as 'war crimes' and so on. 1
