[@shireetropix6360]

It seems that you are grappling with the question of good versus evil and you are right to be upset by the amount of bloodshed and violence in the world. There is soo much corruption in this world and while we are "trapped" in it, sadly, it will continue. The best thing we can do is to pray which I'm sure you are. God knows the situation and will step in, in His perfect timing as a result of our prayers to Him. Trust in that and keep praying and rest assured you are doing something about it. Don't pay any attention to those poor misguided individuals who post their negative comments. If you do, you are giving them the attention that they crave. Instead, focus on the life you are building for yourself and your new wife for that is where your future lies. It is good to hear that you are taking some well earned rest.

Thank you for talking about this.🙏🏽 ❤ The world has become unkind and cruel. It is people like you who make it better. - thank you.❤

[@ayahslife8773]

What causes all the war, violence, hatred and anger is a lack of virtues. Doesn’t matter what political party (well maybe if your political party promotes hatred). It doesn’t matter what religion you are either. It doesn’t matter where you live on the planet. What does matter is how much love you have in your heart. How much you care about the suffering of humanity, the planet and all of the creatures that live here. Are we capable of loving a stranger? Are we the one who rescues a suffering being be it human or otherwise or the one who looks away? It’s all about virtue, unconditional love, total and complete tolerance of others beliefs and lifestyle. And most of all, a willingness to fearlessly speak out about the wrongs we see. And of course, do something if you can. While I was watching this I was putting in a 69 plot lol, took 2 days! Long story. Aaaand I messed it up, somehow the row got too squished. Thanks Ferric, you’ve been very helpful throughout the years I’ve played Wiz. Wish you all the best ❤

Love to see videos like this man, I've been going through hell lately and I'm not alone you're not alone don't forget that.

[@randomexpress866]

I get as a muslim, you feel the need to speak up for other Muslims being killed. While i can not take blame for what both powers of Hamas and Israel decide to do, i can stand up for the innocents of both Israel and Palestine. I can respect you standing up for innocents being killed, but agreeing with "from the river to the sea" is the exact mindset that led to this evil on both sides. I respect you as a person, but letting your Muslim bias affect your views are exactly why the world is so devided. I hope you can learn to try and push bias aside when speaking publicly

[@ferric]

“From the River to the Sea” is an emancipatory slogan calling for the freedom of Palestinian People from the Jordanian River to the Mediterranean Sea. It being portrayed as a genocidal or antisemitic statement is textbook Hasbara propaganda used to silence a call that is recognizable among those fighting for this cause. Also what do you mean by “Muslim Bias?” If you mean I prefer the lives of Muslims over the lives of non-Muslims, you know nothing about me or frankly even the issue, because there are Palestinian Christians too. It is not in spite of Islam but BECAUSE of Islam that I believe all innocent civilians, Muslim or non-Muslim, deserve a life of dignity and opportunity.

[@randomexpress866]

@ferric Fair enough, not everyone uses "from the river to the sea" as a genocidal chant (even though a ton do). But by Bias, I mean the fact that instead of admitting that what Hamas activity does are acts of terrorism, u chose to say "I don't care what happened on October 7th", than just state that what Israel is doing is wrong. As someone who has a Jewish background, I can respect anyone who can at least admit the wrongdoings on both sides. I care for my Jewish brothers and sisters, but I admit that I don't agree with everything Israel does as a government. I take my bias aside and actually listen to both sides, which many can't do. Not saying you are a bad person, but I do think bias often makes people think that what they stand for is so black and white, when in reality it's not. On a side note, one of the many reasons I care about this topic so passionately is because of how anti-Semitism does exist stronger now than ever b4. Not every Muslim is anti-Semitic, but some of the things people say about killing Jews, and not just Israel, is scary, and all the more reason I care about having a place like Israel as somewhere to fall back on if ever another Holocaust were to take place. I hope you can at least see my perspective

[@ferric]

@@randomexpress866 Let me make something clear. Me not choosing to condemn the Palestinian forces on that day does not mean I am denying that atrocities occurred that day, nor does me saying “I don’t care about October 7th” (not even sure if those were the words I used, I’m just trying to be as charitable as possible to your argument) mean that I don’t care about the innocent lives lost that day or that I don’t care about Jews. What it means is regardless of whatever atrocities occurred that day, regardless of whatever parties were responsible for what occurred that day, the IDF’s response to it being a literal genocide CANNOT be justified. That’s what I meant by that. Genocide is a black and white issue and is never acceptable under any circumstances. And yes, I agree antisemitism has been on the rise since that day. I won’t get into how much it has increased by because I am not Jewish and will not speak about a different groups experience. What we do not agree with is the cause of this antisemitism and I fully blame the current Zionist state for contributing to the overwhelming majority of all modern-day antisemitism. Benjamin Netanyahu himself is on the record saying anti Zionism is antisemitism, so no one person is more blameworthy than him for rampant modern day antisemitism. As Norman Finklestein himself said, and I am paraphrasing here, Zionism as an ideology requires transfer, a euphemism for ethnic displacement, according to Dr. Benny Morris, an Israeli Zionist historian himself, is, and I quote, “inevitable, and inbuilt into Zionism.” Not to mention the excuse of them labeling Jews as “God’s chosen people” which, if actually a core concept of Zionism, shows that racial superiority is a key aspect of it. Jews are equally human to all humans, Zionism disagrees with that. No sane, morally sound human would support Zionism after researching about it and becoming knowledgeable about it. Because people are uneducated, and also again, because of the state of Israel itself, antisemites have tied this ideology to Jews (the ethnic group) and Judaism (religious ideology) itself, which is where the antisemitism stems from. According to our own religion, no race is superior over another, no human is superior to another human. What matters is knowledge, even a child can lead men in prayer if the child is more knowledgeable than the men.

[@randomexpress866]

@ferric I completely agree that benjamin netanyahu is a terrible prime minister and should honestly be put in prison for what he has done for/to both Jews and Muslims alike. One major key about what you said that is completely wrong is that when people say jews are "God's chosen people", that somehow means they are superior. Obviously, you never had a Jewish teaching, so I can get why you would think that. But everyone I know, including myself with a Jewish education, were taught that this phrase means we have an obligation to better the world by setting an example of kindness, charity, etc. I'm not going to argue over which side is right or wrong as far as land, etc. goes bc that argument will never lead anywhere as me and u will just disagree. But one thing I want to get across, is that coming from a Jewish family who visited Israel a lot, there are areas that are dangerous to us purely because of the hatred that most Palestinians have for JEWS, not Israelies, JEWS. I walk into a certain neighborhoods and ill get killed, whereas a muslim might get stares walking wherever they so please in Israel. You may not think what you're saying is so crazy bc how could anyone justify killing that many Muslims. But Israel doesn't have to wait for Hamas to kill half the population in order for them to "justify" going after them. Hamas has already declared their intention to Kill every Jew on this planet, literally admitting to a genocide, yet you obviously think Israel is in the wrong. If you genuinely care about Jews and Muslims equally as I do, I respect you for that, but otherwise anything you say is 100% bias and you can't really argue against that imo

Hello Ferric, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your hard work and support. I am a Palestinian and it's so amazing to know there is a strong supporter in every nook and cranny including the W101 community. Early Eid Mubarak, much love, and stay safe! Also, ignore all the others who spout their hasbara on your videos. They are either brainwashed or have an evil agenda. What's right is what matters. Barakallahu feek.

[@marcus6596]

maybe they havent heart abt it? cuz tbh I didnt know abt the genacide either, and why should a GAME be stopped playing, nobody said they didnt support the geno either so thats js stupid if u ask me, quitting a game over smth stupid

[@Pyroferric]

Essentially, when a kingsisle game is literally the only content you have on ur channel, it honestly makes perfect sense to do so especially if they are going to be a bunch of scaredy cats and worry about like 20 people playing their game and not worry about hundreds of thousands of people dying if they were to LITERALLY MAKE a post on their page showing their support to Ukraine but ya know, another crisis happens and they are like “meh, we don’t want controversy that is all!”

[@Pyroferric]

@@marcus6596 also this is NOT something stupid. Years after a war they just dumped the people from the crisis in ww2 into the middle east where they can just start a 75 year old genocide for no reason? And now a company that will voice their matter once will not do it twice? That is a perfectly valid reason to quit playing, especially when even half the COMMUNITY doesn’t seem to care either.

You realize I would be at extreme risk of being killed if I go there right? I may not fear death, but that does not mean I will throw away my life when I can be much more effective elsewhere. How would you suggest I can be as effective as possible?

[@slapitandtapit]

@@ferric I mean, its better than being a comsci major and playing with water and calling that hard-work. I would suggest get more educated before speaking on a topic you know nothing about. Can you at least tell me who's doing the genocide?

[@ferric]

@@slapitandtapit You failed to answer my question, but so will still respond to yours. “Playing with water.” Yeah you know absolutely nothing about my job. The IDF, the military force of Israel is the one committing the genocide. It’s funny you are telling me to get educated yet you yourself don’t even know that Israel is currently committing a genocide per the legal definition of both the United States and the United Nations’ Geneva Conventions. May I suggest YOU educate yourself before yapping about things you don’t know about, my job included. Have you ever flown on a plane before? My job ensures the engines of your plane don’t blow up in the middle of you flying on them because of a defect in the fan rotor hub. I work a minimum of 56 hours a week, I am extra careful in my inspections, I am extremely good at what I do to the point where they are fast tracking me to get my certifications because they have that much faith in me. The job involves both mental and physical labor, so have some shame in what you type instead of being so ignorant, it just makes you look stupid.

It all depends on KI at this point. Removing my videos was for two reasons: -to bring awareness which we have achieved -to refuse promoting KI in any capacity until they respond publicly The second condition hasn’t been met yet and the community manager is on some extremely long month long vacation so I’m kind of stuck in limbo here. Of course keeping the videos down doesn’t affect me in any way, but it does affect KI in a very small way, and it unfortunately affects my viewers of which the overwhelming majority have been in support of my decisions.

If a majority of the population in a region supports a group that advocates for the abolition of the state of Israel, then ultimately attempting to create a state from them will be meaningless. If we reward terrorists who are then hiding behind women and children, then we have ultimately made the Geneva conventions meaningless.

[@ferric]

The state of Israel should have never existed in the first place, and it’s laughable that you mentioned the Geneva conventions. The cognitive dissonance is mind-boggling.

[@blendbeast7322]

@ferric if we're really going that route, Israel confirmed its right to exist through the multiple defensive wars it was forced to fight from 1948-1967. Per the law of conquest Israel has a right to exist just like any other nation. If you had actually looked at particularly the Oslo peace accords in which Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government were negotiating with the PLO, they granted the PLO and other Arab nations EVERYTHING they wanted with the exception of ending hostilities and accepting Israel's right to exist(which it does even just from a law of conquest standpoint) They walked away from the table. You are holding Israel to a standard that NO other nation in history has ever been held to. Israel is currently pumping food into Gaza at a rate of 2lbs per person per day. However, they have no ability to distribute it due to the current Terrorist organization running the place. Of the hundreds of billions of dollars that have been pumped into the Gaza strip, nothing has improved due to the governing body believing the destruction of Israel is more important than it's own people. Also, there are currently still over one hundred Israeli hostages being held by Hamas. Every ceasefire deal for their exchange has been rejected by Hamas(including rates of 40:1 prisoner swap ratios in favor of Hamas). Does there exist a complicated history spanning thousands of years over this area? Yes of course, but to suggest Israel is committing ethnic cleansing when over one fifth of its population is Arab is ignorant at best.

[@ferric]

@@blendbeast7322 I refuse to read your pre-prepped talking points devoid of all humanity towards the Palestinians. Many of them are historically revised and false or give zero charitability to the Palestinians. Anyone that thinks any historical context can justify the barbarity of Israel’s terroristic actions throughout its history and especially over the last 6 months has lost all humanity, and I can only pray that you’ll see the error in your ways. Your complete lack of seeing the parallels of this regime and even Israeli society based on how they THINK based on surveys about Palestinians to the literal Nazis really speaks volumes about your character. If the Holocaust was happening today instead of in the past, you would have been on the Nazis’ side.

[@blendbeast7322]

@ferric I mean it was mostly just on one point, the law of conquest. I can and do sympathize with the Palestinian plight just as I can sympathize with the civilian tragedies of Nazi Germany in World War 2. Unfortunately, that's not really how war works in urban areas when your enemy is hiding amongst civilian populations. However thus spreading of a blood libel against the jews is frankly disgusting. A nation committing genocide wouldn't be sending out warning text messages, phone calls, and even warning shots on many of their air strikes.

[@ferric]

@@blendbeast7322 I don’t care about your sympathy, those are empty words. You calling what Israel is doing blood libel proves that you don’t truly care about the Palestinians. You are using their excuses of dropping leaflets and sending text messages to hide the very obvious war crimes they are committing. Have you once considered them doing these things is carefully done so that those like you will become apart of their Hasbara propaganda to absolve them of their crimes? The fact that you are hiding what is obvious is frankly more disgusting than any of the other things you just mentioned and I sincerely hope you have just been brainwashed and are not actually defending this evil.
