The Israel-Gaza war and wider Middle-East tensions (1 Viewer)

I think we should lock this thread. Majority and minority opinions have naturally formed and the room for discussion has come to an end.

Maybe we can revisit it in the future, as the conflict develops, but for now people are secure in which side they've chosen or where they stand.
 
They had an alias to be MORE PRO-ISRAEL?

The day we get a TERF we're in trouble... oh wait.
 
it doesn't shock me that @Voodoo (whoever she was) created an alias to freely be pro-Israel. Moopy is almost unanimously hostile towards Israel.

Israel's current leadership is inviting hostility through its actions. I'm confident that if we had posters on here pro Hammas we'd be vehemently disagreeing with them too.

disagreeing with, not banning?

For the record I’m not hostile towards Israel, I’m hostile towards its government’s actions in Gaza

I hate having to repeat this every time but it never seems to sink in, or maybe you can’t see the distinction?

I’m not having a go, I just don’t understand how the distinction is never recognised. It couldn’t be more obvious

Yeah, sorry, but I defended GGGGG’s right to free speech, but this was inflammatory horseshit. You clearly haven’t read the posts or seen what they were up to today.

And a reminder that Moopy is a community of individual people of individual thought. Moopy itself is not hostile towards anyone.

Towards the current Israeli government? Yes. Towards Israel? No. The conflation of the two is deliberate and designed to force compliance. The UK government is doing it too, talking about "British values" to conflate the country with their increasingly hard-right policies.

This is the furthest from what should happen.
 
I never post in here, today was the first time but I was in utter disbelief at the posts I was reading from Voodoo and couldn’t keep my mouth shut. Retrospectively, I can see that was probably the point.

The discussion should remain open please, I think it’s important and from what I’ve seen the vast majority of people are handling it with the sensitivity it deserves.

Disagree. I know people THINK that a "discussion" is happening, but it's really not. Every time this thread generates a disagreement, it becomes negative af and someone gets threatened with a ban. It's turning into a show.

I think people have a right to decide for themselves and decide whether or not they want to post. It's an important topic and to outlaw it is to block people from having a voice.

Easy solution: don't read it. Or we could remove your access to it, if you feel you couldn't help yourself.

The problem would persist regardless. This thread has gone down the same road as the last one.

But y'all want a show, I get it.

What are you talking about?

Do you support the Israeli government? Do you have a substantial, informed argument regarding the merits of their tactics and why these 10,000 people needed to die for the greater good of Israel? Honestly I’ve said it before, I’m all ears.

But if you don’t think that, which I don’t think you do, what exactly are you complaining about? Or do you just fancy a moan about moopy trying its best to be one of the few safe spaces on the internet that doesn’t accept hate speak, contrary problematic arguments or ignorant rationales such as the one where Israel was compared to France or Poland or Belgium in WW2…

I wasn't "arguing" or "complaining". I was merely making a suggestion because this thread started out as a pretty good discussion that helped people make some sense of this conflict, but now people have formed their opinions and the recent string of heated arguments and bans show that people aren't willing to budge anymore. Stop being shady.
 
i'm sorry, but what comments did Voodoo get banned for?

these are basically his last 11 contributions in this thread:

1. suggested that 500k Germans died and that's what happens in wars
2. said that Hamas knew what would happen, and are playing victims even though they started the war
3. clarified that neither Palestinians nor Germans deserve to die, but it's what happens in wars
4. said. "war is bad (and sad), but it is sometimes necessary in order to fight terror and evil."
5. "If you care about children in Gaza, advocate for Hamas to unconditionally surrender"
6. posted evidence that terrorists believe they are going to meet 72 female virgins in heaven
7. "what's wrong with being right wing? It isn't any worse than being a lunatic radical leftist."
8. "Takes one to know one", as a response GinAg saying right-wingers are cunts
9. "Trying to minimise October 7th isn't cool and isn't a good look, I'm afraid"
10. said Hamas leaders have expressed that all Jews should be killed
11. said many Hamas terrorists dress as civilians to up the innocent casualties stats

which of these statements are "ban-worthy"? can a mood pls highlight?

asking for self-preservation purposes

They went on a spree of sending ‘laughing’ emojis on posts citing verified sources on the deaths of Palestinian women and children, for one thing.

As already stated above, and which you will already have read but be deliberately ignoring, laugh reacting to pictures of destruction in Gaza and people dying.

This is antagonistic, and coupled with clearly islamophobic behaviour, his ban was entirely fair and justified. Which again, you have already read.

I would ask you to stop making arguments in bad faith. If you aren't capable of making them in good faith, then perhaps reflect on why that is.

Do you really want an answer or do you just want an argument?
