This military mobilisation is not. This is a direct result of Palestine beating, raping, and murdering hundreds of innocent people, and kidnapping hundreds more.

Hamas has made it clear that taking down the wall would result in tens of thousands of dead Israelis. It's impossible to negotiate with an adversary which has vowed your demise at any price.

I think a LOT of voters wanted to slow down migration. Leaders lied to them, and claimed the only way to do that was to leave the EU, so they did. Now they're realising the reason migration is high is because both major parties are neoliberals who want high migration to pump house prices and keep wages low. It won't change until they elect a party which cares about the working class, and campaigns on reducing migration to no more than the number of homes built in the previous year. This is such common sense policy that the only reason it's not already in effect is because leaders in all major parties don't care about the middle class.

Both.

Use this one weird trick to unite the world in your destruction. It’s super effective!

I literally quoted that exact passage. Did you read my comment before you replied or did you just rage post when your world view was threatened?

I hope we've conclusively proven that theory to be false. Throw this on top of the theory that, as nations industrialise, they naturally democratise and become more peaceful. China has categorically proven this false.

Yes!

This is likely correct, but given this, support should be much lower than it is.

Literally every rebellion is fueled by terrorism.

I strongly disagree, but I suspect this will quickly devolve into an argument about the semantics of "terrorism." So I'll focus on this part: "intentionally murder innocent civilians." I do not agree that all successful rebellions required the intentional murder of innocent civilians.

This area is reportedly home to tens of thousands of illegal migrants, and rampant drug smuggling. Many homes are not built to code, and have no access to running water, electricity, or sewage. The entire area is basically a favela at this point. It needs to be shut down. No modern country should permit this.

I can’t sympathise with murderous rapists. I can’t imagine any common ground. I sympathise with the peaceful people of Palestine. Those few who don’t support Hamas.

All Western governments need to evaluate “aid” to countries like Palestine. Billions are sent each year to countries like Afghanistan, and it’s immediately used to oppress, abuse, and murder women and minorities. We need to stop funding terrorists and pretending to be surprised when they use our funds to terrorise people.

Foltz claims that she received a $92,000 annual salary while men with the same duties and qualifications received an annual salary of $115,000.

Foltz also claims that SpaceX uses different job titles for the same position as a way to pay women and minorities less than their white or male counterparts, TechCrunch reported.

This is an empty claim. She didn’t even have the same job titles as the people she was comparing herself against. There are a thousand reasons one person can be paid more than another. Often it’s just negotiating prowess. Often it’s the responsibility of the job title, and the risk and hours that entails. Often it’s tenure at the company, or social skills. Her claim amounts to, “pay me more because I have a vagina.” No.

It’s partly why I haven’t bought an Android phone, ever, and have stuck with iPhones. I know Apple is going to keep supporting the phone and apps within for many years. It’s encouraging that Google will support the newest Pixel with software, but they really need to work on their hardware quality and support now. This has been a consistent sore spot since inception.

I’ve always leaned towards the side of Palestine, but no more. Hamas has been assaulting, raping, and murdering innocent people. Where’s the military strategy in that? How does that help Palestinians reclaim stolen land? There’s just no reason and no excuse. The Palestinian people broadly support Hamas, so it’s not like this is a handful of bad apples.

I’m not arguing rebels should do nothing. I’m arguing they should not assault, rape, and murder innocent women.

Are you asking if I’d rape and murder innocent women if I felt aggrieved by a third party? I can confidently say that, no, I would not do that. Is that really standing on a moral high ground, or just not being a murderous, psychopathic, piece of shit?

So give them a solution they’ve never thought of before. I’m sure your internet degree is sufficient to convince them… I don’t have a better way, but don’t pretend like you do.

I am not claiming I have a solution. Far from it. I am in no position of authority or influence. In fact, it’s not my responsibility to fix the conflict. I am merely condemning the assault, rape, and murder of innocent people. I do not believe there is any justification for this.

I don’t understand how that is a response or argument. I agree with your description of events. I’m disagreeing with the response. Yes, they’ve been treated unfairly. No, beating, raping, and murdering innocent people is not an acceptable response.
