So, your knowledge of Middle East crises comes from a comedian? Well, now I see why your takes are so comical.

I literally can't stop laughing. I always understood that tgis issue is only important to me because I will likely be under rocket bombings soon. I always knew, it is more of a leisure conversation for those living in the opposite side of the world... But a comedy show? I could never thought of that

You've posted nothing but Israeli propaganda since you stepped foot in the country. You slander someone because they deliver information in a format that you can't comprehend. You can't bother to get the info or to try to understand it. Nope, a comedian delivered it so it so your fingers are in your ears. Don't discover the reality or try to debate it, best to dismiss, right?

Here is some information, since you are too lazy/unwilling to find it yourself.
Quote:
The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions estimated that Israel had razed 55,048 Palestinian structures as of 2022.[2] Administrative house demolitions are done to enforce building codes and regulations, which in the occupied Palestinian territories are set by the Israeli military.[3] Critics claim that they are used as a means to Judaize parts of the occupied territory, especially East Jerusalem.[4] Punitive house demolitions involve demolishing houses of Palestinians or neighbors and relatives of Palestinians suspected of violent acts against Israelis. These target the homes where the suspects live. Proponents of the method claim that it deters violence[5][6][7][8] while critics claim that it has not been proven effective and might even trigger more violence.[9] Punitive house demolitions have been criticized by a Palestinian human rights organization as a form of collective punishment and thus a war crime under international law.

Your dedication to your ignorance is astounding. To be proud of it takes it to another level. To astroturf for an Israeli government that treats human beings like this is nauseating. Stop it.

Did you bother to even watch any of the clips I shared, or are you too busy dismissing facts because the funny man delivered them?

Do you honestly believe a person who believes starving people and withholding water as a war strategy being ok will actually listen to anything?

Honestly he's not worth the time. He is probably on a plane out of Israel as we speak with war looming since his morals are so strong.

It's satire. And you're the joke.
And you can't even defend yourself against any of it except to deflect.

Some Pointman "facts" that he believes.

Fact 1. It is a fact that the whole population of Gaza is rotten and needs to be removed.

Fact 2. It is a fact that ALL civilians of Gaza are Hamas and by default deserve to die.

That's all you have on that? That's all we should need to know then. Weak response, pointman, really weak.

What the actual ****?!?!?!? You've been proven to be posting misinformation and hateful BS time and time again? Like seriously, who do you think you are fooling?

I'm sympathetic to your situation but not the misinformation you post.

Palestinians are rotten to the bones and need to be ended though, right pointman? Right, pointman?!!!

Do you take us for stupid? Because we're not. We all read the thread and remember things that are said. You don't get to say what you truly feel sometimes, but later when it's convenient come back and condemn the other side with a more "we're all one" except YOU GUYS!! message.

It's embarrassing, so stop it, now.

I think Pointman probably struggles with a comedian having valid points delivered in an intelligent way, considering who leads Ukraine. The Comedians are coming for all of Pointman's admired evil leaders.

Imagine dropping a bomb on a place where you know children and women are sheltering.

Evil, evil people.

A quintuple post score using the Putin anti-Zelensky propaganda method. What a sight to behold in the morning.

It's evil and cowardice to hide behind women and children as well.

It no longer works to embed Hamas fighters,rockets and missiles in the schools and hospitals, those days are over, surrender, return the hostages and the bombings will stop. I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand.

Doesn't give them the greenlight to just bomb that school if some hamas members are also there

Not sure why that's so hard for you to understand.

Still waiting on that apology where you were adamant you didn't say something and called me names but then disappeared when I quoted what you said word for word.

I'm not going to weigh in on the Israel-Palestine side of things, but I did want to highlight that I feel Pointman's argument to dismiss the claims of the video purely because the presenter is a comedian is quite weak. The show itself is presented as semi-deep dives into a major issue each week wrapped within a comedic shell. In a sense, it's adult edutainment/opinion piece.


I think, by the same stretch of the argument, the following video on vaccines and vaccine hesitancy (made prior to Covid-19) should be dismissed out of hand?



Again, I'm not taking a side on the actual video presented. However, my point is that the source of the argument and claims should in no way affect the validity of the argument.
