Sanders says he doesn’t know that a ceasefire is possible ‘with an organization like Hamas’ - Lemmy.World

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday he doesn’t know that a ceasefire is possible in the Israel-Hamas war with “an organization like Hamas” involved. “I don’t know how you can have a ceasefire, (a) permanent ceasefire, with an organization like Hamas, which is dedicated to turmoil and chaos and destroying the state of Israel,” Sanders told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” Sunday.

I don’t think peace is possible when one side is holding the other in an open air prison and giving them only the amount of calories needed to not die (after the war started even that was suspended)

Ok are you talking about Hamas or the Palestinian people? Cause I keep being told they’re different, and that Hamas doesn’t represent Palestinians, yet here you are talking about them as if they’re the same. So which is it? Cause you’re asking me to feel bad for Hamas fighters? Cause I won’t.

I didn’t mention Hamas, I said Israel is oppressing Palestinians and you should feel bad for the nearly 4,000 children that died.

Hamas is oppressing Palestinians and are responsible for the 4000 children that died. Non hamas Palestinians should try fleeing the country or fighting back against hamas so they can be free

The Palestinians you are telling to fight back are also children.

44% of their population is under the age of 15. Name one revolution that was lead by an army of 7 year olds. If by some miracle you can, name one that was lead against a terrorist organization. Not some rinky-dink operation either. Terrorists that were, I don’t know, funded by a country like Iran?

Holy shit, you are actually retarded.

So you’re saying literal children, like 5-7 years old, should fight back against armed grown ass men?

16 isn’t considered even a teenager in that part of the planet. When people say kid in reference to the middle east, they mean an actual young child.

Removed for ableist language.
Show threadhavokdjNov 8, 2023
Let’s be honest here, you removed it because you don’t agree with what I said, and used a word that I didn’t use in an ableist context as a reason to remove it.
Show threadjordanlundNov 8, 2023
Nope, I removed it due to the “r” word. There are other words and phrases you could have chosen, you chose poorly. Perhaps you need your head examined.

So why would you remove it rather than give me the opportunity to edit the word out?

It’s pretty clear that I was not being ableist because the other party does not have a mental handicap of any kind. So it is okay to use other phrases meant to shock and offend someone but not that specific word? How is calling him a dumbass or an idiot any better? In the context of ableism, if he were to have a mental handicap, those words would be equally as offensive.

I hate to say this, but if you are going to partake in political discussion, you have to get ready to hear things that will be offensive to you. Essentially everything that I wrote has been censored because of a single word that is synonymous with so many other words.

I also would like to make it clear that I have a condition that would be categorized as “offensive” by that word, and even then I still fail to understand how that word would be any more offensive than any other word relating to belittling someone’s intelligence, that was the entire point of my choice of the word, to convey OFFENSE. It is okay to use offensive language when it is not connected to hate or hate speech.

That is precisely why I think my post was actually deleted was because you do not agree with what I said. If you can prove to me exactly how that word would be any more offensive than the other choices, then I am totally open to what you have to say (and I actually mean that).

Using the “r” word, in ANY context, is a rule 6 violation and is not allowed to stand. You either did not read the sidebar or intentionally chose to ignore it.

Either way, the comment gets removed. End of discussion.

I’m posting from mobile so I was not aware of that, but I had read the rules previously and was not aware that this was not allowed per board rules.

Regardless of what I think though, I am sorry for what I did, I was ignorant of that rule and had not known that it wasn’t allowed here. I genuinely thought you were just singling me out and am now aware that you are just doing your job.

Once again, I am sorry, I will try to do better.

That’s all we ask! Rest assured, when comments are removed, it’s not personal. We don’t have that kind of time! :)

On mobile, getting to the sidebar varies depending on the app.

Voyager makes it easy, tap the three dots in the top right hand corner and select “Sidebar”.
