Funny how its crickets from the usual suspects now that the UN actually fired the UNRWA workers.

I guess the evidence was actually damning enough.

But hey, when your entire world is constructed on the premise of spinning everything as much as possible, you couldn't possibly admit that 'oh damn, turns out I actually accused someone of lying and now it turns out he was right all along.'

Better to ignore, deflect and pile an another round of #### posts so nobody actually sees the hypocrisy.
This is the most unintentionally ironic, hilarious post in the thread to date.

Imagine having a lack of self-awareness this profound.

You know who else fires people in their organization as soon as they find evidence they had any involvement in terrorism?

ISIS, that’s who.

Well I didn’t think I had to mention the Nazis. Hitler was notorious for weeding out and firing people involved in the holocaust, everyone knows that.

Are we talking about UNRWA or Israel here?

40,000 Palestinians massacred. I'm sure you mean Israel.

Kind of ironic he calls out the mod team (volunteers) after being banned himself a few weeks ago.

Not a good look dissentowner calling out the mods like that.

While it might be factually accurate in some situations, accusing someone of lying is often perceived as a personal attack and can escalate conflicts. If you need to address dishonesty, it is usually more constructive to focus on the specific behavior or instance rather than labeling the person. For example, you could say, "I believe what you said was not true," or "I feel like you were not honest about this situation." This approach can help address the issue without resorting to name-calling or inflammatory language.
Can't agree with that. There are instances where simply calling them a liar is appropriate given the lowness that they will stoop and the sickness of the lie.

The negative connotations is sometimes a moot point because you're talking about individuals with zero self respect in the first place. Like, for example a lowlife Holocaust denier. They simply ARE dishonest and untrustworthy. They're sick liars.

Or not totally dissimilar, someone that would blatantly lie in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary that the people of Gaza are being starved. It's worthless to focus on the behaviour when you're dealing with dishonesty.

It takes a special kind of person to be a genocide supporting, apartheid regime backing, prisoner rape advocate.

I'm actually surprised by the level of support for what Israel is doing here on CP, relative to real life interaction where it is basically unanimous disgust and anger towards Israel.

The only thing I can think of is that there's so few actual posters posting in this thread, it's more 10 or so going hard, with a 50% split between sides, so just a coincidence that it ended up an even split here. It's insane to read absolute garbage from pointman, nagawaza skoot etc, that would have everyone looking over in disgust/shock in real life social settings.

The problem is that these are people for whom supporting Israel is a part of their identity. So they have to morally justify Israel’s actions to themselves, because if they didn’t, their identity would be in jeopardy.

You can’t argue with that and you can’t change their minds because what’s easier - admitting that you’re wrong about Israel and you’ve been supporting the aimless killing and apartheid of scores of innocent people, or continuing to justify it to yourself morally because “Israel has a right to defend itself”?

Sinbin means you were banned. If you can't post, that means you were banned.

Calling out the mods for not doing their job is uncalled for. They do a great job. Maybe follow the rules and you won't be banned again.

I have 2000 posts and 0 infractions. Maybe you're the problem?

You have had multiple lifetime suspensions Spurs, you always come back to calling everybody liars and calling things facts that are not. You constantly returning and starting the same bs you always do is the real problem. I am not bothering with you anymore, you inevitably will end up kicked out again because you just can't help yourself. And stop trying to kiss up to the mods, they are not stupid, they know exactly who you are and it isn't going to save you.
