How are they baseless arguments?
YOU made the claim and continue to point out the houthis are killing civilians and are 1. Hurting themselves and 2. Hurting the Palestinian cause , I’m asking you how many civilians have they killed?
You immediately start off with a baseless strawman argument and expect to be taken seriously?
My statements regarding the Houthis specifically state indiscriminately "striking" or "targeting" innocent civilians. Not killing.
Examples I have previously cited have always used that specific language, because unlike you I don't just drool nonsense on my keyboard and call it a day.
In the very same post you quoted, note how the Houthis are described as "attacks", whereas Hamas is described as "killing."
Your question is a strawman based on an argument that was never made. I don't know if maybe you struggle with English or if this embarrassing display is the purely due to disingenously and impulsively making up non-existant inferences but that's not my problem.
You also claimed Hamas shouldn’t have planned Oct 7 as that also is not helping the Palestinian cause. I’m asking you what else could they have done??
As I mentioned earlier, October 7th is a natural consequence of Israel running a glorified concentration camp.
As I also previously stated, it's hard to say how this will play out. An attack like October 7th was bound to happen sooner or later, I don't think that was really avoidable.
If possible, military targets would have certainly been better from an optics perspective. As would a stronger focus on less brutality but more hostages.
Either way, what's done is done. I don't see anything wrong with negatively framing slaughtering civilians.
You also claim bushnells family is orphaned and his parents are all sad and lonely, I’m asking you have you talked to his family?
This is another blatant strawman argument. You're conveniently leaving Bushnell's friends out of the equation, as well as my statement presuming that he "presumably" or "likely" had at least someone around him who shares his views. Bushnell clearly had his heart in the right place, but now there's 1 less person to continue protesting and people are incentivizing more pointless suicides by cheering it on.
O and wasn’t it also you who claimed the bds movement won’t work and isn’t hurting anyone but themselves??
Ah, we've reached the phase where you're not even going to pretend like you aren't just making things up as you see fit.
Literally on this very same page I made a counter-argument against a claim from another poster who implied there's little to nothing the president could do. In that reply I cited various examples, and political pressure naturally includes things such as sanctions etc. Boycotts and sanctions do come with negatives of course but generally I think they are helpful tools.
The presidency isn’t some magic wand obviously but there’s a lot of things Biden or Trump could do, good or bad.
Various forms of political pressure, attempts to rally allies, changing policy regarding arms deals, …
To be clear, anything moving towards a less staunch pro-Israel will face significant roadblocks from Congress, lobbying groups, … but it’s not like a president is powerless.
I already told you earlier, you talk all this pro Palestine stuff but the way you keep making members in here argue about side topics, is very much similar to Israeli propaganda.
Especially since all you can offer to do is humanitarian aid on your campus…
And what exactly is it you do? Twiddle your thumbs and fabricating baseless accusations in a discussion thread?
I think at this point you've embarrassed yourself enough.
"The way you talk all..." bla bla bla. As I've stated before, it is not my job to cater to a petulant child with the reading capacity of a 5th grader. Or a grown man cosplaying as such.
