Misandry is the idea that masculinity is toxic.

Misandry is demanding men not receive the same government funded abuse shelters as women have because of a personal opinion on only men being capable of domestic violence.

Misandry is glorifying or ignoring women’s crimes, laughing or shifting blame whenever they murder, rape, or steal.

Misandry is going after people funding shelters for men, tearing down people who even try to help them, because they’re all “demons serving the patriarchy”.

Misandry is exploiting gender stereotypes in order to ruin people’s lives.

Misandry is being laughed at by peers or told you should’ve liked your sexual abuse.

Misandry is glorifying psycho girlfriends breaking their boyfriend’s shit and abusing them.

Misandry is men making up the overwhelming percentage of workplace deaths and all suicides.

Misandry is men not being able to express their emotions because people will accuse them of being gay or a pussy.

Misandry is seeing male patients in an in-patient facility little to no advice besides shaming

Just the basics of the international laws of war makes that talking point pretty silly - without even making any arguments about how broken and dated self defence as defined by art. 51 of the UN charter is (or how broken international law is in general.)

The 1967 war is a great example, because it's such a commonly accepted narrative that Israel started the war, which is laughable when you consider what actually led up to the start of the war:

Closing the Strait of Tiran to all Israeli shipping, a.k.a. a naval blockade? (see Rome statue art. 8) Not aggressive.

Constant rhetoric from Syria, Egypt, et.al. threatening and promising to invade Israel in order to exterminate the state? (see UN charter art. 2(4) Not aggressive

Israel's neighbours Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Iraq forming an armed alliance? Not aggressive.

Trying to - in a desert region - divert the Jordan river from Israel? Not aggressive.

Funding, training, supplying and facilitating Palestinian insurgency forces to attack Israel? (see UN charter art. 2(4), Rome art. 8) Not aggressive.

Mobilising Egyptian troops on the Israeli border? Not aggressive.

Expelling UN forces from Egyptian territory bordering Israel? Not aggressive.

Israel seeing all this, knowing that an existential war on all fronts is going to start any minute, knowing that Jordan's air force could reach Jerusalem in like 10 minutes, and therefore striking first as to not immediately get eliminated? Super duper aggressive

I'm so obsessed with the Six Day War because it's such a simple litmus test for if your brain is rotted with antisemitism or not.

Because if you're a deranged lunatic it's great proof that the Jews control the world / that America is the only thing keeping the Arab states from obliteraring Israel [obviously you, like Syria, Egypt, Jordan and the rest of the Arab world after the war, refuse to accept that America only started backing Israel only after the war]

But then you read just a little about the specifics of the war and it's super funny, because at the end of the day, the core reason Israel humiliated its enemies so completely is basically just that, like.... the IDF was more meritocratic. And had something called good morale.

Having read the blurb about Israel's conventional wars, here is my simple recipe for being good at war:

Good morale

Meritocracy

Improv

Have no territory

Never take advice from the Soviets

Why learn about your enemy when you already know everything you need to know, which is that you Don't Like Them? Why have a detailed map of the enemy territory when you could just look at this and Manifest Victory

It gets worse (emphasis mine):

“For Anne Herzberg, NGO Monitor’s legal adviser, the evidence is even more damning. “The documents show they had to report to Hamas. They had to provide Hamas the names of those working for them. They knew they were being monitored by Hamas,” she told JNS.

Herzberg added that it was disingenuous for the ICRC to insist it raised concerns privately while reserving its public outrage exclusively for Israel. “Covering for Hamas only encourages the terror group to continue using hospitals as human shields,” she said.

The memos also illustrate Hamas’s paranoia about foreign NGOs potentially serving as intelligence conduits for Israel. The ISM documents reveal that Hamas’s Interior Ministry insisted on pre-approving NGO staff, restricting their movements, and assigning security escorts to foreign medical teams.

In short, NGOs in Gaza were compelled to operate entirely on Hamas’s terms, ensuring the terror group retained tight control of their activities. As the JNS report noted, this system made NGOs unwitting—or perhaps willing—participants in Hamas’s weaponization of humanitarian infrastructure.”

Donald Trump personally called the police chief of Palm Beach, Fla., in 2006 to thank him for investigating Jeffrey Epstein — and told him to “focus on” the disgraced financier’s “evil” accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a newly released FBI document.

According to the summary of an October 2019 interview of Michael Reiter, who served as the wealthy Florida enclave’s top cop from 2001 to 2009, the future president was “one of the very first people to call when people found out” that authorities were investigating Epstein for sex with girls as young as 14 whom he had hired to give him massages.

“Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” Trump was quoted as telling Reiter on the call, adding that he “got the hell out of there” on one occasion when he was around Epstein while teenagers were present.

The summary, first reported by the Miami Herald, added that Trump told Reiter he “threw” Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago and that “people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting.”

Trump also referred to Maxwell as “Epstein’s operative,” telling the chief “she is evil and to focus on her.”

Reiter’s name is redacted in the interview summary, but details in the document match up with publicly known information about his role in the Epstein probe.

According to the chief, he met Epstein after the financier reported one of his employees for stealing from him.

Reiter recounted that Epstein donated $40,000 to the department for the purchase of a machine to review security footage, cut a $90,000 check (never cashed) to buy a fingerprinting machine around the time his first victim came forward, and gave “more than others” to a police scholarship fund for children.

When Reiter inquired about Epstein, he claimed to have been told that the financier “supports law enforcement and is an important guy.”

The Palm Beach Police Department began receiving reports about Epstein “[i]n the early 2000’s, maybe 2003,” according to the summary. Eventually, Reiter said, his officers put together a sprawling case against Epstein, including “sexual battery cases against the co-conspirators.”

However, Reiter recalled that state prosecutors “said the victims were not credible and would show their MYSPACE pages and such. They would refute minute details in the probable cause affidavit … This case died at the state level.”

The summary of the FBI interview of Reiter was included in millions of files that have been released by the Justice Department in connection with the case of Epstein, who pleaded guilty to Florida charges of soliciting a minor for sex in 2008 under a controversial non-prosecution agreement that saw him serve 13 months in prison, much of that time on work release.

Epstein was arrested by the FBI in July 2019 and charged with sex trafficking, but was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell the following month while awaiting trial.

The document emerged hours after Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a closed-door virtual deposition before the House Oversight Committee.

The 64-year-old UK-born socialite declined to answer questions about her friendship with Epstein or her role in the trafficking of young women and girls.

An attorney for Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence at a medium-security Texas facility, said following the testimony that his client would speak freely if she is granted clemency by Trump.

The White House has said no such action is under consideration, with Trump telling reporters in July that he would “take a look at it.”

Please pray for her soul, and her family. Please pray that the law can change so this can become illegal

They only go after people who break immigration law and they can detain and search people crossing the border.

The side who hates ICE hates them because they have decided to embrace illegal immigration and that’s really all there is to it.

The majority of our illegal immigrants are from Mexico and other North American/South American countries so to American leftists these are all perfect and innocent MiNoRiTiEs who can do no wrong even though there is a surplus of drug and sex trafficking that comes with illegal immigration but they choose to ignore all that. They think all illegals immigrants are only here because they are starving and oppressed and just want to feed their families but that is far from the truth. In fact, anyone illegally crossing the border with a child should be apprehended immediately just because of the sheer amount of sex trafficking that is taking place through this process.

Because they see everything through the lens of race, they have no real knowledge of illegal immigration and just see people with brown skin. And arresting anyone with a skin color that isn’t white is racist, no matter what crime the person has committed.

So that’s why they hate ICE. They are deeply ignorant and have decided that ICE are just evil racists because when they don’t understand something, they just make up reasons. And their made up reason is always that whatever they don’t like just must be racist.

So for more of a real argument against the behavior of ICE —

They don’t only target people who have committed immigration violations. There are many examples of them detaining random people of the street and making little effort to identify these people — giving lie to the claim that ICE has been targeting the worst of the worst.

Even when they are “targeting” some suspected illegal immigrants, can’t help but sweeping several hundred here legally and making an international incident over it.

Their leadership has advocated clearly unconstitutional polices about searching for illegal immigrants door to door (without warrants).

I’m glad to have this to walk through to show how the lies spread and how people just accept them without question and without working knowledge of what they are talking about

Like if we take the bit posted about Stephen Miller, anyone looking at it can clearly see it’s not the full quote. So we’re missing context. And it’s a third party source quoting from a third party source. Which proves this person did not fact check or research this incident at all before attempting to use it as evidence for their very weak argument. And out of context quotes with only third party sources to back them up is a common tactic used by people who don’t know how to actually research and validate information or who are intentionally leaving information out. Always be highly skeptical of anyone who makes arguments like that. And I’m not just talking about the people above. The sources they chose to link here are using the exact same tactics.

For more of an insight into Stephen Miller’s comment, anyone with critical thinking skills can deduce that this is not about harassing people on the street, it’s about enforcing immigration law consistently and visibly.

Places like Home Depot and convenience stores are known for routinely hiring under the table. Everyone knows it. The employees, the customers, local governments, etc. it’s not a secret. Ignoring these locations essentially allows a shadow labor market to operate outside the law.

It’s about deterrence. If we don’t enforce it in the obvious places then the law becomes meaningless. It creates an incentive for employers to bypass hiring legal workers and it’s unfair to citizens who have to go through background checks, paperwork, and long waits to work legally.

“Even when they are “targeting” some suspected illegal immigrants, can’t help but sweeping several hundred here legally and making an international incident over it.”

This is a non-argument and makes no case against ICE. This is just how law enforcement works. When you are investigating things, it’s inevitable that people not involved or not guilty of anything get caught up in the mix. And once that’s discovered they are allowed to go free.

But this person is framing it like it’s some kind of intentional malicious act on their part. Which is a dishonest way to argue

This user clearly doesn’t understand what an ICE raid is if their argument is “look - people here legally were detained!” It is further evidence of their ignorance. It is the job of ICE to enforce immigration law so performing a raid (which are just investigations, not a random attack where they just barge in and start arresting people like some would you like to believe) is not a point against them. They performed a raid at a place suspected of immigration or labor violations. And of course if you are in a place that is actively under investigation you will be “detained” during the process. They have to verify identity and legal status. Being temporarily detained during an investigation does not mean someone is in trouble or will be deported.

The last claim is sources solely with CNN so that alone should be a warning sign to not take it seriously without

ICE has what are called administrative warrants, which are only given after final orders of removal has been issued. And these orders come after things like notices, hearings, appeals and reviews by an immigration judge in an immigration court. At that point, they are legally required to leave the country and become fugitives if they do not. Congress explicitly authorized DHS and ICE to issue administrative warrants to carry out removals. Requiring a separate criminal style search warrant for every removal would basically allow them to nullify court orders by staying inside their home.

These are not cases of ICE making random arrest decisions. They are executing court orders.

“But most of all, Americans generally don’t like having masked dudes just wandering the streets hassling people.”

More than anything else, this is the person telling you in their own words why their opinion should be dismissed outright. Any American who genuinely thinks ICE is just “masked dudes wandering the streets and harassing people” is displaying an inexcusable level of ignorance about ICE, how it operates, and immigration law in general. Once you see that, roll your eyes and move on. They’ve just told you how little they actually know.

They framed this as a “real argument” and then threw out a partial quote about going to Home Depot and 7-Eleven without giving any explanation of the reasoning behind it. They deliberately stripped it of context so it would sound like ICE was being instructed to terrorize random people at those locations. Because that’s exactly what they want you to think.

Then they followed it up with a sensationalized headline about a raid where people who were here legally were “detained,” without explaining what “detained” actually means in the context of a raid or even what an ICE raid is. After that, they posted another headline claiming ICE can enter homes without a judge’s warrant, conveniently leaving out the type of warrants ICE actually uses, again to push the idea that ICE is just barging into homes and arresting random people.

Finally, they reduced ICE to “masked men harassing people in the streets,” which was the nail in an already tightly sealed coffin. This so called “real argument” only proves my point: people hate ICE because they are ignorant

And I also want to give a shout out to the ignorance from @realsillywizard. They just popped in here to claim the administration lied about a shooting to twist a narrative without telling you what the alleged lie is. They expect you to believe them just because they said it. Because that’s how they operate. They will believe anything they are told if it confirms their bias.

Why the FUCK does Hamas even have hostages in the first place? What part of “resistance” involves killing hostages and holding them for 2 years????

Op is a fucking idiot if they think rubble is the reason Hamas hasn't given back the corpses of the hostages. Hamas never gave a fuck about any possible dead Palestinians, whether buried under rubble or not.

so you admit there hostages under the rubble together with those the IDF deemed as terrorists, don't see how that helps whatever argument you are trying to make but is good you have some connection to reality. And genuinely, why wouldn't rubble be a barrier? as much as wanna believe hamas is antisemitic,

also, why did the IDF blame Hamas for executing a hostage when indepedent analysis comissioned by the parents of the hostage disproved the autopsy by Israel and shows they suffered suffocation because Israel threw a gas bomb on the hideout which killed all people present? why did they lie that a child was killed and then the child turn out to be alive?

no they aren't saying or implying anything of the sort? were in school during Bush era? they are saying no one at all has the ability to retrieve corpses of no one because Israel flat bombed the entiretity of Gaza, and and obvious Kafka trap Israel is doing by closing the border while demanding something that can only be objectively done by the border being open and Israel be the ones to do it since they have the actual resources to do it.

you are projecting your own collective blame of the Palestinians unto someone else for outsourcing of that very collective blame narrative.

Shoujo, I knew you were a bit on the nutter side, but I did not expect you to be a full-blown anti-israel nutjob who thinks "executing collaborators" is okay just cuz you compare Israel to the Nazis. Nor did I expect to completely ignore Hamas' antisemitism and treat it like it's not an undeniable fact.

And Israel reentering Gaza would be a violation of the ceasefire, buddy. 🤣 Just as Hamas not giving back the corpses is a violation of the ceasefire. As was them attacking an Israeli vehicle. It's also false that Gaza is flattened, there are literally entire sections of the strip still intact enough to allow bakeries to run for the last several months at LEAST. It is very odd that someone complaining about Israel supposedly violating the ceasefire wants them to violate the ceasefire to get their dead hostages back (which of course is only a violation under the assumption Hamas has not already broken the damn ceasefire. Which they have).

Simple shit really.
