restraint in what?

"Kill 20% less civilians please’ . What fuckin dumb rhetoric is this. It’s like we live the end of times and words have lost meaning

What kind of restraint can israel have? if hamas was 1% of the population, after all these atrocities it will be 99% of the population. Imagine someone killing your children and then you re supposed to go on living your life because “well shit happened”.

Israel has an incentive to exterminate a very large part of the population, especially the young male population before this is over to weaken the next hamas. If they have another plan for post-war life, it’s not clear how they imagine life with palestinians near or far.

you shouldn’t do that then

Who are they overwhelming? The words must have meaning

This is an 100 year conflict, all the good guys are dead.

Why do people feel this need to be good/bad. Everybody knows by now how complex is the middle east

bingo sir. it wont stop until we hear “death to palestinians”

Housing definitely plays a role. Or to be more precise, the culture of housing in your neighborhood.

If we all moved near the romani shantytowns, our birth rate would skyrocket 10x

It’s as if Israel wants to create a giant new generation of terrorists. So they can test their new weapons on them. Maybe that’s the plan in this festival of cynicism

It’s a common justification given, but it’s not true. The same happened in almost every advanced european society in the 80s, when things weren’t unaffordable. Urbanization is probably the largest contributor to this, because children are absolutely optional in city dwellers.

We should stop pretending we can reverse this trend, and the whole doom-saying around it. Instead southern europe needs to plan for the medium-term future, which necessarily include the transformation/abolition of the unsustainable welfare state paradigm built in the 80s.

Interesting that the same record happened in neighbouring greece. Interesting to see if there are regional dynamics in this? Humans are influenced by their physical surrounding

Newsweek doesn’t want celebrities to defend the most basic human right for fear of … losing followers. The horror

So now that the whole advanced world is supporting (fervently in some cases) this ethnic cleansing, how do we move forward? It is clear that palestinians will not remain the area, the question is whether to kill them all, or to exile them.

Considering that this is a (heavily) US-backed ethnic cleansing , it is only fair that the palestinians be cleansed into Jordan, which is the US protectorate in the area. One can understand why Egyptians (one of the few actual nation-states in the region) don’t want 2 million refugees, so there seems to be no other option. The US should come forward and start discussing this. The option to turn millions of palestinians to the EU as refugees is not going to be met with the passivity that the waves of immigrants of syrians, afghans, africans and ukrainians have. I think people can see the pattern here, the continuation of the Cold War, when europe acts as a bulwark for the US , taking all the damage for the shit the US does.
