OT: Current Affairs and Politics

65000 dead Palestinians.
Does that not mean anything to you?

It was a grim situation thats for sure. But I don't know what it meant to me personally.j I think I've been desensitised to all this murder stuff nowdays. I didn't feel anyhting emotional I don't think. Like it was just information/news to me. And yes I know that sounds calice/ sad. And I am glad it is over. Everyone should live in peace.

Varsen Shahin would be my pick for president of palestine

Not outrage, just calling you on your habit of thinking all people of a country, culture, race as being homogenous in views or attributes.

As we know, it only takes 50% + 1 to elect a PM or government.

So why wouldn't Israel (the country) or Jewish people (within Israel, and living around the world) also be similarly equally divided? But you seem to think that Netanyahu equals the views of all Jewish people... pretty lazy brainwork on your part, wouldn't you say?

No you f**king dribbler, it equals the views of the majority.

No you f**king dribbler, it equals the views of the majority.

Which may only be a tiny majority at any point in time... maths isn't your strong point is it?

And in the case of Jewish people (including the very large diaspora who live outside of Israel) their overall majority view isn't reflected in any election of the current government of Israel. And what about the views of younger generations not yet of voting age too?

Much simpler for you to continue to conflate any current government of the day with a whole "people" or culture - instead of admitting elected government only reflect a small majority - and for countries without compulsory voting, perhaps not even a majority of their "people" at all...

I know about democracy though.

You annoyed me but now you're forgiven.

Now tell that ostrich it is going to die if it doesn't get some air soon.

 

[T-Boon]

from my own experiences and discussions, most non-Israeli Jewish people are absolutely in condemnation of Netanyahu’s actions.

I think you should say "most non-israeli Jewish people I know are in absolute condemnation of Netanyaho's actions".

Dude gets a bit over-sensitive about pics of his hair...

“They ‘disappeared’ my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?”

“Another” holiday.
When was his last one?

From what has been reported this is his first proper holiday since becoming Prime Minister.

Is King-Gutho94 really Peter Van Onselen? Or Peta Credlin...?

Silence from the lefties. And don’t blame the f**king off season.

 

[the phantom menace]

I'm not clicking on that, Casper...

Who is she, and what is her point that "lefties" are silent about?

 

[the phantom menace]

Ah, just realised she's Trump's media conference mouth piece, I think...?
