      Calling this genocide is like crying wolf, it merely provides cover for actual genocides by diluting the term until it’s meaningless. Israel could certainly suffer fewer casualties if they were to fire bomb or nuke Gaza, but they won’t because they’re not fucking genocidal.

            Overwhelmingly scientists agree climate change is a thing. Overwhelmingly genocide experts agree the Israel-Palestine conflict is a genocide.

            I am begging you to stop being retarded.

              Your claim: “Overwhelmingly genocide experts agree the Israel-Palestine conflict is a genocide.”
              Your Evidence: A quote by one historian. Not even a link, mind you, a screenshot. It was from the same source I provided, so if it was a normal link that same article would show other experts who disagree with him below his quote.

              Do I need to explain to you why you are being intellectually dishonest here?

              Here’s yet another source that shows there isn’t a consensus among experts:

                A screenshot to the wikipedia article you linked me. You did read it, didn’t you? You didn’t just link something and hoped to god it supported your claim, did you? Boy howdy that’d be embarrassing.

                Uh oh, a second person who agrees it’s genocidal.

                Also, your link is over a month old. Let’s find something more up to date.

                https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/29/middleeast/south-africa-icj-israel-genocide-intl/index.html

                Oops, looks like the South African government agrees too.

                  Two whole people! Wow I guess that means that the entirety of experts must be <4. Also, that second person says they are “moving towards a ‘genocidal campaign.’” Not that they have committed one.

                  And South Africa, too! lol. I bet you can find some Muslim states who agree as well.

                  I’m done here, you’re clearly not willing to discuss this in good faith.

      Unpopular opinion: Bale happened to be the Batman of the best Batman movie, his Batman is kinda meh. And I wish Afflect was in better Batman movies.

        Now that you call it out, I agree! Bale gets a lot of praise for his ability to morph his body for different roles, but is otherwise only alright as an actor. But he happens to be in many great movies with other iconic figures which really elevates his cachet.

        Affleck is pretty good. I also really liked Pattenson’s emo sad-Bruce version quite a bit more than I expected to. For me, nothing will ever be as nostalgic and iconic as the Tim/Conroy animated portrayal.

          I was a fan of the dark Knight trilogy and thought no one is topping this, but Pattenson nailed it. I honestly like his Batman better now, and hope they continue with it.

        Shame they aren’t still using him. He makes a good, grizzled Batman that just doesn’t play around anymore.

        Batfleck definitely has the look and is more comic “accurate”. I’m sure he would’ve killed it in a better film and not directed by Snyder.

    The end line was so unexpected that I had a good laugh. That a truth was snuck in unexpectedly was excellent.

    Hi, I see in the modlog that dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 's post was removed for “violating rule 1,” which is, “be civil and nice.”

    Israel is discriminating non-citizens like every other state while e. g. Arabic citizens have full civil rights. As much as you might hate Israel, this is not Apartheit.

    What isn’t nice or civil about this post? They shared their opinion, one I consider reasonable, in a way that was inoffensive. Can the mods please elaborate on your mod policy here, are only anti-Israel opinions allowed?

    (original comments still visible on kbin, though site is unstable atm)

    Disregarding acting ability, I don’t think Pattinson had the physicality for it; he didn’t look big enough to me to be believable. You could really tell the Batman costume had a lot of padding when you saw him as Bruce Wayne. I think he’s just too lithe, for the lack of a better descriptor, for the character, you know?

      I’ve heard that the Batman was supposed to show a younger, less-experienced Batman. So maybe he’ll bulk up more for the next one, idk

    Let’s make one thing clear: This “country” that proclaims itself as Israel is not the same Israel as described in Bible but a Zionist State where its ideological pillars were forged, in a Europe still at the time submerged in colonialist ideology. This is just to say the basics

      What is your point?

      Like why I care about whether or not it is the one in the bible?

      What are you trying to get at?

      It seems a bit “fun fact that is kinda related to the post but not really at the same time”. I mean obviously Israel is a Zionist state. It is literally the movement that made the state. How does it relate to apartheid? Now colonistic idealogy has a link to apartheid. But then again, Jews didn’t had the best experience with colonism within Europe which is what Hilter did. So you could easily argue against the sentiment, while I personally won’t argue either way as I don’t believe that I know or understand enough.

      In short, I might agree with you if I would understand what you want to tell us. But I don’t, care to help me?
