Hamas announces truce with Israel

[The_Dude 1,142]

Israel is a terrorist nation. What does that mean to you?

It means that you think facts are subjective to your delusions. Sorry, It is in fact Hamas who are the terrorists, a verifiable fact. But I think your delusions will hold more sway with you than facts.

Because we have Israeli members here who might find it offensive - when you call their country a terrorist nation, you're essentially calling them terrorists.

We also have Palestinians here and if they feel like Israel is one then their opinions matter just as much.

Not if they offend others and violate the TOS.

Calling Palestinians and any Muslim a terrorist then would mean violations. This is a religion and politics board and as such has been more open to voice opinions. If someone does this out of this section in the regionals then I can see where there should be a muzzle but not here. I can also see where Palestinians can make a claim that Israel is a terrorist state.

meh...we have called plenty of nations on here "terrorist nations". Don't be so thin skinned.

This is laughable. Maybe it's a hint of how soft and butt-hurt the

Israel-can-do-no-wrong side is. Or, maybe of how the message of the Palestinian side is starting to gain traction and become a threat to Zionist propaganda.

Indeed, it would.

Calling all Muslims or Palestinians terrorists is against TOS.

I'm Palestinian. I believe I'm the only Palestinian on the board, so I'm pretty much outnumbered when giving my opinion. What's the VJ penalty for offending me (not that I offend so easily)?

If you peeps start crying TOS on here then this thread is going to be shut down and / or boring as fck. It's a forum for christ sake...it's only words.

It's done all the time.

The same as for offending anyone else. If someone called you a terrorist, you should report them.

However, referring to the Palestinian government as being a group of terrorists is factual. Hamas is a verified terrorist group, and continue to wreak havoc as such in their capacity as governors.

And occasionally people get suspended for it.

The same is true for Israel.

Here's another good read.

I'm not taking sides...both side have legitimate gripes. But a lot of countries (before they became countries) started out with terrorist activities. The US was one of them and so was Israel. I don't agree with what Hamas has done and is doing, but Israel helped to create Hamas by refusing to negotiate for a Palestine.

Here's a good read down below.
