      Blood libel is a generally false and historically dangerous antisemitic accusation claiming that Jewish people murder non-Jews, often children, to use their blood in religious rituals.

      I think the current full-term is “modern blood libel” when referring to the gEnOciDes.

        “when referring to the gEnOciDes.”

        Does this look like a military target to you? Drop the fucking bullshit antisemitic angle. It ain’t fucking 1933 any more. Fucking Israelis became the literal fucking Nazis that wanted to exterminate them.

          Cool. You’re a clown. I like clowns. I get why you’re pissed, I guess. What’s happening in the Gaza Strip looks brutal.

          But a photo alone doesn’t prove whether something is a military target. In dense war zones, militants like Hamas operate in civilian areas, which complicates things, but doesn’t automatically justify strikes either.

          The real issue is whether actions by Israel follow laws of war (distinction, proportionality). That requires evidence, not just visuals.

          And the Nazi comparison? It doesn’t hold. It weakens your argument instead of strengthening it. But that’s a feature. It makes you look like a complete fucking shit for brains. Which checks out!

            I dunno man, you’re hand waving away the complete devastation of a civilian center with very weak excuses of militants operating within those areas (with no fucking proof, mind you) as if that justifies it. We should be rightfully pissed that professionals with unbelievably accurate military technology and methods deliberately choose to throw caution to the wind and accept the “collateral damage”. The same shitheads that are able to supply chain attack pagers, aren’t able to hunt out hamas without doin the genocide? Why is that?

            No, this is not a valid excuse. You are a grotesque human being. Those families that did nothing wrong but be born there in those circumstances don’t deserve to have their homes and their children exploded to bits because some militants were suspected near by. What if that dead family actually turned those militants away? What if that family had no choice and their homes were occupied with force? How immensely minuscule is your fucking palette for your god damn mind where you bucket the little children in with militants?

              Confidence comes from it being persuasive on its own to a non-trivial amount of people. Like the people who post on AITA wondering if they were an asshole because someone who was clearly doing them wrong was upset they reacted negatively to it. They do not employ critical thought but just capitulate to whoever sounds the most authoritative.

              On reddit, they can bolster their credibility with voting brigades and then later added mod/admin corruption to censor opposing viewpoints, if it aligns with the money. Neither of those are as effective here because votes are public and there is no single admin to corrupt and would theoretically turn into a game of whack a mole (though I’m not sure the fediverse as we know it would survive it if they did manage to corrupt or coup the major instances).

              In any case, the votes show that a bunch of the propaganda that would previously be eaten up elsewhere is failing to gain traction here. Though it’s hard to say if they are doing it still because it hasn’t sunk in that they need to pivot or if they do that to keep up an illusion that propaganda doesn’t work here. I don’t think they’ve had any luck on that particular topic, but I wonder about some of the more controversial topics here, like how much of that controversy is genuine and how much of it is pushed in bad faith.

                  Yeah, I believe another tactic is to make engaging with them as frustrating as possible to discourage those who are still willing to push back from engaging at all and allowing their statements to remain unchallenged, which gives more credibility.

                  But if they do that all out in the open, they can frustrate other readers as well who will either themselves engage or just add downvotes, so there’s also a risk to credibility. So they try to take the conversations to PM.

                  A counter tactic for that is to bring the PMs back to the public like you did here. Whenever people refer vaguely to harassing PMs, I wish they wouldn’t play along with the anonymity those PMers desire. Just because they tried to make the communication private doesn’t mean you can’t still blast it to the public, with username visible.

              I’m betting he got syphilis from his Metzitzah B’Peh and it’s really kicking into overdrive in his “brain.”

            Do you teach a masterclass on being absolutely unbearable? You have a special flair; reading your comments brings to mind a smarmy teen who likes to play armchair expert on things they know nothing about. Your desire to put others down and make them feel small clearly dominates any other feeling you have. Congratulations on showing us your micropenis of a personality. It’s disgusting and doesn’t need to be shown to anyone. And don’t worry, I understand the irony of this comment. I just don’t believe in tolerating intolerant shit heels like you.

            You’re right. 70% of all buildings in Gaza were legitimate military targets. Yep, sounds right. Just like 70% of the buildings in Philadelphia are legitimate military targets. Most moral army on earth. You’re the whole fucking circus ain’t ya?

    The Israeli government and, well, loads of people related to that, is seriously psychopathically insane.
