Israel vs. Iran And Proxies: War Discussion Master Thread

[yawn]

You are twisting everything to fit your narrative. My first clue is you didn't post a link to the article.

ETA: Somewhat ad-hominem but if that's all you got.....
https://us.cnn.com/2023/11/07/us/thousand-oaks-protest-man-dies/index.html
ETA: The article was edited to add Jewish to the headline. You don't have to believe if you choose not to.

I think you're kind of missing the point here. No one has any problem with upholding sterling journalistic standards and being careful with exactly what you report especially when every word matters and waiting a bit will allow you to gain clarity on the facts.

The point is every single headline is analyzed in a way for conformation bias.
The media hates us. Let's dissect this headline in a way to prove that.

There was an altercation and a man died. Now wait for the facts to see if he was killed, murdered or something else.

Now if I was the other side, they would be saying the guy fell and hit his head, an accident. See how that works?
“During the altercation, Kessler fell backwards and struck his head on the ground,” the sheriff’s office said.

hi there

Thanks for confirming the echo-chamber.

Yeah that fact isn't going to change. So is your position now that the headlines will not use the word killed even after it's ruled a homicide? And since when does killing have to be intentional. Look you've done great work trying to prevent this thread from being an echo chamber. (ETA: and I agree with you more than I care to admit here.) But moving goalposts isn't a good look on you.

You keep trying to twist the word. Homicide is the classification the ME uses for the death certificate.

I will ask again. What part of this is so hard to understand?

There was an altercation and a man died. Now wait for the facts to see if he was killed, murdered or something else.

Now here is how the echo-chamber works. Let's say the police statement is the Jewish man was attacked and violent hit with the bullhorn causing his death. He is being charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Now the echo-chamber crowd response will be: See we told you. We were right he was killed. It is you in the echo-chamber!

Thanks for confirming the echo-chamber.

@CountValentine let me guess, Epstein killed himself too?

He didn't commit suicide?

He did an excellent job. It seems like they cut off some of his answers.

Thank you King Charles for getting it!

Hello ECHO-CHAMBER!!! 

I just looked up and researched the term for the first time.

Yes, YOU ARE CORRECT. This forum is indeed an echo chamber. We are a collection of few hundred religious Jews, and while we may have different beliefs and views, we are more-than-fewer common denominators, some of them being very pro Israel belonging to Jews, and we all very against anti-Semitism (duh).

When someone posts here a ant-Semitic tweet or news article, the purpose isn't to "prove" anything to anyone (not to you or anyone else).

Why do we post it? I honestly don't know.. but even if you weren't on these forums, these posts would still be posted.

So I'm not sure why you are taking it as a "argument" (for lack of better word) and the need to play devils advocate all the time.

Of course we know that there other ways of looking at things, and while some of us might like the fun of it (trying to disprove you).. sometimes it just gets annoying.

So let's just all be on the same page.

can't, then it will be an echo chamber

[CountValentine]

Would it be fair to me ask the same. Why does there need to be an argument on everything I post?

We now have a thread for NO DISCUSSION on the war. There are numerous posts in that thread. Only two posts out of them someone felt the need to comment on. You want to guess who's two post they were?

I agree with you that it does get annoying. 

[yawn]

We’ll disagree I guess

Let's say the police statement is the Jewish man was attacked and violent hit with the bullhorn causing his death.

Maybe I’m reading into your post too much, but are you implying that the bullhorn causing the blunt force trauma, as opposed to the ground, is the deciding factor in whether he was killed?

8/19 are your posts so statistically that makes sense.

[CountValentine]

8/19 are your posts so statistically that makes sense.

Here we go again. I have less than half the posts. I have the only posts being commented on. Please show the math on how that statistically makes sense.
