2023-10-20 Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Nick Fuentes with a more balanced and rational take on Israel/Palestine than the entire political class.


I’m with autumn groyper. Lauren Chen may be a popular young pundit, but she still has interesting areas of ignorance. Those innocent children’s parents elected and re-elected Hamas to govern them, and danced in the streets to celebrate the return of their heroes with 250 captives. But regardless, Israel did warn the civilians to go to the south of the Gaza Strip to get out of the way of the bombing, and reportedly a million of them did so — half the claimed population of Gaza —so any still remaining are the moral responsibility of either themselves or Hamas, which has been actively preventing people from fleeing. There is no genocide by Israel, nor even an attempted genocide.

And Mr. Fuentes is an old-fashioned, double-standard bigot — Jew-hating variety. How boring.

 File under: Hamas 

#1 Hamas and the rest of the Palestinian world hate us. They danced and celebrated our misfortune at 9-11. They have a right to be our enemies. Let’s let them hate us for free. No Palestinian immigration is my standard unless it is Christians fleeing the Holy Land. As for Fuentes, my policy is no Nick, none of the time. He has a 1st Amendment right to speak. I have a 1st Amendment right to not listen.

#3 Civilized people seem to be in agreement that Hamas has to go. You can critique Israel's method of solving the problem, but no one has proposed an equally direct, less destructive method that would actually work. And no, more words on paper will not help.

As for the "collective punishment" thing, think of it as practice for being an actual state. In the world of geo-politics, if State A attacks State B, State A should expect some return fire. You may protest that you did not launch the missiles yourself or even vote for the party in power, but no matter. You are all in it together. Welcome to Statehood!

#4 Just to play Herbie's advocate on the one point-- resp9nsibility for infliction of near-infinite agony on the helpless -- where me antisemitism-of-high-expectations happens to overlap with his...

#5 Yeah, these are the arguments the Japanese used in China, and the Germans in Vinnitsa.

#6 Islam is at war with modern civilization. Those who can't pick a side are limpdicked humanist faggots who will forever remain confused. Culling moslems, 'collectively punishing' them, keeping them running for their lives is not a choice. It's an imperative.

#7 In fairness, the Japs also ate rice in China, and the Germans sausages in the... Saloreich, is it, Grom? Standard issue rationalization for every group ever.

#16 Mr. Fuentes is historically illiterate. He's also lying with he invokes genocide.

Since the inception of Israel, its the Arabs who have sought to destroy it. What miseries they sight are of their own creation and unwillingness to except Israel's existence.

No ground operation is targeting the West Bank and that population, thus the hysterical use of the word genocide only shows his disingenuousness
about what is to unfold.

As for group punishment, just ask the Germans and the Japanese militarist who unleashed barbaric war in Europe and Asia. Today, they are among the less militaristic population around. Note well, he offers no practical solution to extracting the poison that resides among the population. In reality its metastasized through the culture.

What he is scared about is witnessing real war, something we haven't seen a lot of since 1945.

His comments are about as useful to the situation as the peace revelers who were the first victims of the present atrocity.

By the way Mr. Fuentes, using your own population as a human shield is a war crime in accordance with the Conventions. The guilty party is not the one fight through them to get to the those responsible.
