Well Pakistan will give them one if needed so they kind of already have one. Maybe stop pushing them to use it on Israel.

Excellent, even. Removing their funding limits their reach. Lets impoverish the mofos. And realistically this is what we can all do pretty easily to push back against Israeli genocide.

From what I can see you’re a mod of a different community, not this one. This isnt “US news” where you are a mod, right? You are also not an admin for all of beehaw. So I dont see how you can claim the authority of being a mod in this exchange. I won’t be coming to US news on beehaw where you actually are a mod.

So it seems to me that you and I are just two people talking.

Choose to escalate or dont. But after that how about you leave me alone and keep your supposed well meaning advice to yourself? Your supposed mod-edness and your opinion of Blinken dont interest me and you’re just bullying.

OK, well you know the drill Pete, report it, get a mod to study our exchange, and get it handled. I’m ready to be judged.

Not an ad hom. Delivery and style of messaging is fair game in debates is it not, as long as I dont go after your character. As is questioning who you are quoting. If I opened a post quoting a different war criminal, say Hitler, Stalin, or Pol Pot, I’d expect someone would call that out, and I wouldnt cry “Ad hom! ad hom!, help! I’m being oppressed!”

And it came up in my feed. What can you do. There are no rules on "necro"ing are there? If there are please let me know, I will follow official rules.

I think you’re just sore that I think quoting Blinken is … problematic to put it mildly. Take my feedback or leave it, its all the same to me buddy.

I will say I think your trying to flex rules on me and claim an adhom is not very impressive. You can do better than that cant you? Why not try to defend your actual point instead?

Starting the post with ‘Blinken said this’ or ‘Blinken said that’ is not exactly a great way to start because Blinken belongs in the Hague in chains for abetting crimes against humanity.

Any other war criminals you’d like to quote in your intro OP?

They dont “deserve” a land to settle any more than anyone else does. Their religion says they do but thats not how land ownership – or your “fairness” works at all.

Thats just flatly not realistic. Polling shows that Israelis on average are entitled, racist and violent. A plurality of them want every non jewish person expelled from Israel, citizen or not. And 47% of them want every Gazan killed, no matter their innocence. about 80% think the way the war is being executed in Gaza is just and should continue. They are fine with war crimes.

Its easy to conclude that they will not live in peace with anyone if they feel they control any state apparatus.

great, just what the US needs.

“This latte is cold, this is a second holocaust, and antisemitic.”

Yes, clearly Israel is using their weapons for defensive purposes, and if more weapons arent provided (for um defense, or course), All Israelis are under threat of annhialation.

Macron was always going to cave. A quintessential centrist worm. The only thing he believes in is his hair style.

Not that I’m pro-chemical-weapon use, but I dont think the US should be wagging their finger at much of anyone right now.

excellent point, killing innocent civilians is very wrong. As is starving them and abusing them for 80 years. All those things, just plain wrong, no matter the reasoning.

Good point, and a perfect centrist take (not that I’m accusing you of being centrist). They should have a centrist viewing and commentary of the whole star wars series. Like mystery science theatre 3000.

Well the IDF better launch an investigation into this, right away. Or else.

They are drawing very stern looking frowney faces on the weapon shipping crates. VERY stern.

We have to wait for ‘history’ to handle this for us, huh.

No one can say he wasnt a consequential president. Maybe not good consequences, but definitely consequences.

Well Russian travelers preferentail treatment while applying for European visas has been cancelled, so now they have to wait for visas like everyone else. So things are getting pretty serious.

“Russian citizens can still obtain Schengen visas to travel to Europe, but they may face a more challenging application process and potentially higher refusal rates. The EU has suspended the Visa Facilitation Agreement with Russia, meaning Russian citizens no longer enjoy preferential treatment when applying for visas”

Would it be fair to call it a “slamming?”
