Title is wrong, should say PRESIDENT Cenk

[@Mrizing]

For being so smart destiny you're not very smart are you!? First of all the people of Gaza are surrounded by three concrete walls with the fourth one being the ocean, Gaza has no port or control of a sea port of any kind, Gaza also has no ability to access its airspace up above with no self-defense systems of any sorts, you say Ham, uses people as human shields how? The people have nowhere to run do you not understand how tall the walls are that surround Gaza and the security that is around that perimeter? You do also realize that Israel controls its electricity and its water? Look the list goes on and on and on you either paid by the Israeli media company to promote Israel in a positive light or you're just stupid destiny which one is it?

[@kenhiett5266]

How you're this spot on in high resolution but can't see the inevitably destructive ideology that has consumed the modern left is really confusing to me. You're fighting for a political party that won't just disappoint you but will continue the march towards authoritarianism if not defeated.

From 'Hamas are not using human shields' to 'Where else can they fire rockets from except apartment buildings?'. Oh no Cenk....

[@JaKeIsCoolGuy]

Can I ask you to… answer that question instead of just saying “oh no” Where in Gaza should Hamas fight from? Can you point me to an area somewhere during the conflict where they could have fought from where there would be no civilians around? I also disagreed with cenk literally until you wrote this comment and then I couldn’t answer myself where I think they should fight from Edit* I forgot to write “where Hamas would not be immediately destroyed” I always understood there are non residential areas of Gaza. The amount of you who all got your rocks off pretending like I’m some brain dead Hamas supporter are super cringe and the way you jump to conclusions reminds me of the convos I have in hasan comment sections. To everyone who actually engaged thank you!

Lets say the Iron Dome did not exist for Israel. Wouldnt the Israeli casualties be a lot higher?

The most obnoxious one is the idea that Israel gave Palestinians an amazing deal years ago and they rejected it because they just want to kill all the Jews instead. All the deals they offered Palestinians denied them of a national army. What sovereign nation would accept this? *139 countries* recognize Palestine as a sovereign state and every couple of years, the UN votes for Palestinian statehood (you know, how they did for Israel statehood) and the result is always 160 something votes in favor of it and a few nos by Isreal, the U.S. (of course) and a few small countries like Micronesia or Papua. New Guinea. The overwhelming majority of international community is for the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state. The 2 countries preventing it are Israel and the U.S. that’s all you need to know.

[@tiagojordao4105]

The point is that this conflict is being passed by Israel and most of international media as being a "war" when it's basically Israel relentlessly bombing Gaza after one comparatively minor attack from Hamas. There's not a war going on in the real sense of the word because Hamas doesn't have the ability to wage war (hardly a guerrilla war, even), but it looks morally positive for Israel to call it a war.

They arent superheroes i agree but cutting off water and food from gaza isnt a way to deter terrorism you actually make civilians more supportive of terrorism. There were reports of hospitals not having enough medicine and water to operate on people. Is that collateral damage? Is there any justification for cutting off water and food to gaza with almost half the population being underage? Also the israeli gov told palestinian civilians to move south and many of them did ,yet they bombed the south as well. When you hear israeli military officials say that they are no innocent people in gaza isnt it sane to assume that they dont care about the civilian population and probably are bombing indiscriminately ?

[@thisisone9529]

He doesn't really care, so long as innocent people aren't killed. His calclus appears to be that the winner of a war is the side who killed the least amount of innocent people. That's a factor, when it can be, but if that were the goal, bad actors would use that sentiment against their enemy, and that is exactly what Hamas does. One wonders, did Cenk succumb to Hamas propaganda or does he agree with their strategy?

[@b18c5vtececlipse]

It appears that Cenk might need a bit of clarification here because its not like Call of Duty or MOA. Special forces aren't akin to the Hollywood portrayal of super soldiers like Jean-Claude Van Damme in 'Universal Soldier' or Tanya in 'Command & Conquer: Red Alert,' dispatched to single-handedly dismantle an entire terrorist occupation. The reality is quite different. Navy SEALs have a specialized role in capturing or neutralizing specific high-value targets and executing rescue missions under high-stakes scenarios. On the other hand, Army Special Forces, known as Green Berets, bear the motto 'De Oppresso Liber,' translating to 'To Free the Oppressed.' They have a distinctive focus, excelling in training and equipping local forces to become formidable allies against opposing or occupying forces, serving as force multipliers. Their primary objective isn't centered on wiping out every adversary on the battlefield. Instead, it's about empowering and guiding local forces to effectively counter and confront these threats with enhanced proficiency. As for the approach of systematically going through every town to root out the bad guys, like the prolonged U.S. strategy in Afghanistan that spanned two decades, might not exactly be the shining example of success... LOL.

She is the sweetest girl and we had a conversation about Jews, and to my surprise, she hates them with a passion. She is 25 years old. This traces back to Genesis 16, with Ishmael's descendants that become the Arabic people. Their cultures have been at odds with the Jewish people for millennia.

Unfortunately the debate ended here, but one thing I wanted to mention about the last point Cenk brought up: Deradicalization of Germany was so effective because the regime was completely extirpated. There was no capability for Nazis to claim that their ideology was superior because their regime had been so utterly destroyed. This was the point of the unconditional surrender war aim. The same thing probably needs to happen to Hamas to lose their credibility.

[@yusufmuslim4420]

Comparing Germany with Palestine is a massive fallacy. Palestine is occupied Germany was not. Palestine would be more similar (not exactly) to a Warsaw uprising against Nazi rule. Until you remove occupation there will always be radicalization. To remove occupation you need to remove illegal settler colonization the basic premise of the racist ideology that Israel is based on.

Definitely a combination of radical denazification, very hard working population, tough ass women „Trümmerfrauen“ that played a vital part in REBUILDING the country from figurative and literal ruins, help from the outside, some former Nazis being implemented in running the system post Nazi era and probably most importantly the willingness of the population to recognize its mistakes and horrors it was a part of and to change.
