Ooh check out the genocide apologist, making a super strong argument about how just and honorable Israel is. So intelligent and brave! You should get a sticker from Bibi to put on your shirt.

Read: Israel has cleared over 77% of Gaza of Gazans.

Australians see very little benefit from this because the LNG is extracted by foreign companies which don’t pay any taxes. Just another political rort.

I have, you are missing the point. You seem to be suggesting that what is happening in Gaza is dispicable but can’t be labelled as a “holocaust” nor, arguably, a “genocide”. So this is a semantic argument based on your personal perception of the word holocaust and genocide. Do you have a more appropriate word for what is happening in Gaza? Unfortunately “Gazans are being treated despicably” probably doesn’t capture the whole 50000+ people dead and more dying due to military strikes, starvation and lack of clean water and medical care. See the funny thing with English is that when we don’t have a word for something we borrow one, or use one that describes a similar situation… But, yeah the important thing is that no body should compare this documented genocide with any other genocide especially not the worst one ever documented in detail.

Juxtapose means to put things side by side to compare them. I said document it, call it out and prevent it. That’s not for scientific reasons, its very much political. How many more Gazans need to be killed before it’s enough like the holocaust for someone to do something to stop it? We compare these things because they look similar. Not to trivialise, but to understand.

I disagree. The holocaust is documented as the worse genocide in history by several metrics. Any other mass killing should be juxtaposed to it (and others) to see the similarities and differences. If a nation begins to kill people under the same ideology that birthed the holocaust ( or any other genocide) it should be documented, called out and prevented from doing so, so we don’t get another holocaust or holodomor or Cambodian genocide or Rwandan genocide… If we hold the holocaust as something unique and separate, we make the mistake that it can not happen again. Europeans in Australia spent about 150 years trying to wipe outs it’s indigenous population. ~84% population decline. Systematic destruction of culture. Policies of displacement, family destruction and to breed them out. This was not the holocaust. But the similarities are there. We should absolutely be looking at what is happening in Palestine/Israel to see if the same rationale used for the Holocaust is in play.

Pirates commenters constantly trying to “morally” justify their action opinion is by far the worst part of all pirate forums.

Its embarrassing how many pirates commenters need the validation of strangers on the internet.

Isn’t there a philosophy forum that these people could spam instead?

Sounds like something out of Mein Kampf.

Awesome, which side was the dryer on where you lived?

TIL the Middle East was in a vacuum.

Like what you might find in a hot, dry region?

Interesting question. I wonder how common dryers are in the Middle East? It’s famously hot and dry there so a dryer seems a bit redundant.

Waiting for the headline “Israel defends Palestinians against Iran.” Because that’s the level of journalism we have these days.

What does this have to do with the article and my comment? Everything you are saying contradicts the CEOs position. My comment simply highlighted that his blanket rule would probably not apply to him. Explain the false equivalency you are referring to because I have no idea who you are comparing. Clearly you have been a little too close to these overpaid hacks, because you are clearly drinking their kool-Aid. Do you honestly believe this guy puts in an 8+ hour work day? Sure… CEOs are renowned for their work ethic. Please do continue to tell me how much more knowledgeable you are on this issue than I.

So your saying it’s not appropriate to have a blanket rule for everyone demanding everyone work in the office 5 days a week… False equivalency my arse. His job description is “make number go up”. He could do his job from a small office next to the sales guy. On what planet do you think defending the CEO will make a difference when your employer decides they need more control over your life?

I bet he isn’t in the office 5 days a week…
