Good. It’s clear these assholes don’t think in terms of ethics. Hit it where it hurts. Their wallets. It’s all these greedy fucks understand.

The best thing about online games is the opportunity for Mats, and others like him, to be who he truly was. Once you find the right group of people, it doesn’t what color your skin is, what’s between your legs, what your physical advantages/disadvantages are. All that mattered was your character and your determination. And you aren’t limited by your geography even. You can interact with people all over the world and enrich yourself along with enriching themselves by providing a brief glimpse in each others lives. It’s actually a beautiful thing how many stories there are like this one there are out there. Games like WoW enabled Mats to be the person who he truly was before he passed. It’s a bittersweet moment for the parents. I hope it gives them the closure they need.

The United Nations, international human rights organizations and many legal scholars regard the Gaza Strip to still be under military occupation by Israel.[13] The International Court of Justice reaffirmed this position, stating that the occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip are unlawful and its discriminatory laws and policies against Palestinians violate the prohibition on racial segregation and apartheid. The ICJ rejected the claim that Gaza was no longer occupied following the 2005 disengagement, on the basis of Israel’s continued control over the Gaza Strip.[106][107]

In Jaber Al-Bassiouni Ahmed v. The Prime Minister, the Israeli Supreme Court assumed that occupation had ended with the disengagement but did not explain the theory or facts that led to this conclusion.[108][109] After the disengagement, Israel claimed that its occupation of Gaza had ended, but also acknowledged that Gaza was not a sovereign state. It labeled Gaza as a “hostile entity,” a status that neither grants Palestinians the right to self-governance and self-protection, nor obliges Israel to protect Gaza’s civilian population. Israel uses this argument to deny Palestinians of full self-governance as well as the use of military force to suppress any resistance to Israeli control.[110]

I don’t need to explain it in my words since more qualified people did a much better job explaining it and I have yet to see any kind of fact, source, or piece of information which would lead me to believe the above is incorrect.

In 2005, 21 Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip and four Israeli settlements in the West Bank were unilaterally dismantled.[1] Israeli settlers and army evacuated from inside the Gaza Strip, redeploying its military along the border.[2] The disengagement was conducted unilaterally by Israel, in particular, Israel rejected any coordination or orderly hand-over to the Palestinian Authority.[3] Despite the disengagement, the Gaza Strip is still considered to be occupied under international law.

You tell me. You’re the one contradicting them.

Then why does Amnesty International label it as such?

which I did not read because it does not have a Gaza section

It’s quite clear you purposefully do not read a lot of anything. The section you say is missing regarding Gaza is literally in the table of contents:

Since you seem to neglect to do a lot of reading, OPT = Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Like I said, a sad little troll with no moral qualms or ethical standpoint.

Except if the person decides to harass or stalk you in real life after reading the reasons. These aren’t hypotheticals, these things happen.

I give you a report documenting how Israel performed “massive seizures of Palestinian land and property, unlawful killings, forcible transfer, drastic movement restrictions, and the denial of nationality and citizenship to Palestinians” and you’re response is to say the article cites no examples of mistreatment of Arabs in Israel? I tell you how officials have described Palestine as the largest open air prison and you dismiss it as hyperbole?

I had a feeling you were some kind troll but was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. This comment of yours just confirmed my suspicions. I’m not going to bother talking with you any more as it’s clear you are completely determined to wash over the sins of a government and that you have absolutely zero morals or ethics. Anybody reading this thread will be able to see just how wrong you are and how pointless it is to talk to someone like you, or even respect you.

Amnesty international is a credible source and the atrocities Israel has committed to the Palestinian population is well documented in the report I provided along with many others.

I give you the actions of an entire government over decades and during one of the most brutal wars in modern history and you give me the actions of a single individual to counter it? Really?

And this is why Republican voters are dumbasses. They are given a playbook of what the GOP plan is, hate it, but still want to vote for them.

This sounds like a good idea on paper but will likely be terrible in real life. A lot of people ghost for their own safety. So many people have stories of dates turning nasty if they feel like they’re being rejected or criticized. Being forced to describe what you don’t like about the other person will not always end well.

Then it would need to include Palestinians starting war against Israel then losing a disproportionate number of citizens then always repeating the failed attacks expecting a different result? There is a word for that.

There already was a war. Death by a thousand tiny cuts is still a conflict. Just because the world didn’t talk about it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist. Palestine was already called the “largest open air prison” before the war started. A documentary that doesn’t at least touch on the treatment of Palestinians by Israel is like releasing a documentary about what the Black Lives Matter protests did to the cops in America and their image without explaining the history of blatant abuse they perpetrated on the African Americans.

The only persecution of Gazans in the few years leading up to Oct 7 was the border checks since they have imported munitions in the past which they attacked Israel with.

That is an outright lie.

Just a little excerpt:

The comprehensive report, Israel’s Apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime against Humanity, sets out how massive seizures of Palestinian land and property, unlawful killings, forcible transfer, drastic movement restrictions, and the denial of nationality and citizenship to Palestinians are all components of a system which amounts to apartheid under international law. This system is maintained by violations which Amnesty International found to constitute apartheid as a crime against humanity, as defined in the Rome Statute and Apartheid Convention.

How far back in history do you want to go in a 90 minute documentary about the Nova massacre?

The length of the documentary is not an excuse. If the director wants to make a documentary on what happened that day then that’s fine. But explaining the events as if they happened in a vacuum is not good journalism.

Yariv Mozer, the director of We Will Dance Again, a documentary film about the Nova festival, said that he had to agree with the BBC to not describe Hamas as a terrorist organization if he wanted it to air, according to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday.

The film, which is set to broadcast on the BBC on Thursday, contains unseen footage of the Hamas massacre at the festival on October 7. It was commissioned by BBC Storyville.

Mozer told The Hollywood Reporter that this was a concession he had to make if he wanted the film to be seen by the British public.

There’s the actual reason if anyone is interested.

Personally, if the documentary focuses on what Hamas did on that one day without addressing the actual reasons and events that led up to it as well as everything that happened afterwards than I would say it’s pretty biased. And I don’t mean biased in a pro-Hamas way.
