  • Is it tho? If your body moves 7", the new position of your back would still be behind where your front was, at least for my fat ass. So you couldn't clear a wall. But if it's a problem to teleport into a wall, then it would also be a problem to teleport into the air where you're going. And if you left a sudden vacuum behind you, it would create a dangerous shock wave as it collapsed.

  • I think I was pretty clear that I don't support Israel.
    But your minimizing the atrocities of Hamas doesn't help the situation. Israel has gone off the deep end, just like the U.S. is going. But to not recognize Hamas' desire to wipe out the Jews in Israel shows a very poor understanding of the situation.

  • No, they're shooting indiscriminately and not safeguarding civilians and if it's not a war crime, it should be. All the more reason for the people of Gaza to surrender - just like France did under blitzkrieg. Not a great choice to have to make but it's insane that Gaza doesn't surrender.

  • You're a genocide supporter then. Hamas wants to genocide Israel. And you are supporting Hamas.
    I don't support Israel's actions in Gaza.
    I was just pointing out that by calling it an occupation, then an occupying force has the responsibility of providing safety and stability to the occupied lands. And Hamas, in that context, would be a barrier to that.

  • I think communication and general moral consensus matters. If people voiced their dislike and contempt for Hamas half as much as they do for Israel, it could have the effect of diminishing Hamas' purpose for continuing this war.
    But I think a lot of commenters actually support Hamas, and the violence it keeps doing. But they won't actually admit that. So it makes it hard to understand.

  • Right. And I've always viewed the notion of trans as weirdly social conservatism - because it seems to buy into sexism. I would think a fight against gender stereotypes would be better than a fight to be able to use flexible labels to fit in gender stereotypes. But I guess it amounts to the same thing.

  • Cool. But then isn't the fight for trans rights sort of the wrong fight? Why not fight directly against all gender stereotypes and inequalities? Which as a progressive 80's kid, was what I've fought for all my life. Dress and act how you like and it shouldn't have anything to do with what's between your legs at birth.

  • Israel would stop if Hamas unconditionally surrendered and released all hostages. They would have to, and they would. And they would continue to occupy Gaza and be assholes, but the violence would go way down and the aid embargo would be lifted.
    If you all are so condemning of Hamas, why is the response to 'if only Hamas would surrender' so angry and attacking of Israel. Why deflect this way? Yes if Israel weren't doing bad stuff there would be less bad stuff happening; but that's a different thing.
    You react vehemently against the notion that Hamas should surrender but claim you agree Hamas should surrender.
