That’s not the best line to take here.
You’re right. This shit is just frustrating when Mets hand-waves away war crimes but then expects us all to be up in arms over people being mistreated at a food truck rally.

I get it, but if you’re pro bds you need to be extra careful at not making the exact thing critics say you do, which is to target civilians based on their nationality.

Yeah. I would not be surprised if you were at least quite uncomfortable, if not concerned for your safety, in some places you frequent in the US if your accent is discernible.
I dont handwaive away war crimes, and I have no issue for Israel being held responsible for war crimes as long as the instigator, Gaza is as well. I do not think civilians should ever be targeted.
You handwaive the fact that Hamas aimed 4000 missles at civilians but since only 11 died is NFBD
I am deleting my previous post where I insulted @metsnfins and apologize to him for doing so as I provided no content and attacked him for no reason and should probably have eaten a ban.

Not sure if we have a Palestine thread so I’m just bumping this one
The proposed compromise would allow the 70 Palestinians to remain in their homes as tenants with “protected status” and safeguard them from eviction for “the coming years” while paying an annual fee of 1,500NIS (£335) to the Nahalat Shimon company, a settler organisation that lower courts have declared the rightful owners of the disputed properties.
The deal, which leaves the question of legal ownership unanswered, was not greeted with enthusiasm by either side, but both parties are expected to give a formal response in the next court session.
The trade-off is likely to prove unacceptable to the Palestinians, as it would in effect mean agreeing that the land is not rightfully theirs. The stalemated session concluded with an order from the three justices that the Palestinians must submit a list of names of people eligible for protected tenant status within the next seven days.
I often wonder what it must have felt like to be a native American in the 19th century. To see every deal you made broken, every white person you saw (basically) wanting you dead or out of the way, being pushed out of productive land into smaller and smaller reservations and knowing that if you tried to fight against it the might of the burgeoning US military would be turned against you. It must be hell to see your country disappearing day by day and inch by inch and knowing there is nothing you can do that will stop it and no prospect of things not reaching their inevitable conclusion.
