Everytime I’ve asked this to someone that’s taken a hardline stance I’m met with either “it’s a complex issue” or just completely ignoring the question 😂

Above commenter asked where the fight with Hamas is taking place.
Where do you think Hamas is hiding???
This is the first instance I've seen of a tankie being self aware. Instead of ragging on him, how about we politely show him that you can live a fulfilling life in capitalist society?
Lemmy is ran by tankies, not surprised.
Toldry, I have spent the past week doing serious research into the Israel/Palestine conflict. I have looked at pro Palestine arguments as well as pro Israel arguments along with third party sources and cross referenced timelines of events and quotes from key players from the 1800s til now. I can safely say both sides are terrible and there’s a lot more than meets the eye going on right now. Thank you for providing nuance and level headedness in a time when people are increasingly feeling pressured to pick a side. Remember people, you can condemn both hamas and Israel. Both have done dirty things to each other from the beginning and both have engaged in deception so often that I feel there is truly no good guy in this situation.
It is so easy to say this when you’re not the one dealing with it. Per the article it seems they had stayed at a shelter for 2 months and were told to leave for another shelter and that transportation would be planned out for them. We allowed them in and are providing them transportation. This is all being paid for by tax payer money. The world is not black and white and money doesn’t just appear out of thin air. This is a complex issue. At the end of the day they wanted to escape a bad area and we let them in. If this upsets you that much, why not offer to house a migrant family?
I found the article to be written in an unnecessarily complicated way. Are you talking about the shrink number? I think most of us couldn’t care less about giant retailers losing profit, it’s the small businesses I’m concerned about.
The article you linked says there’s been a 25.6% increase in retail theft just within a years time. That’s bound to hurt a lot of businesses.
Not wanting race to be a factor in admissions is a conservative thing these days?
Been doing a deep dive on this conflict for the past few weeks and I don’t think you’ll find many unbiased summaries. A lot of people have said good things about this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11961982-side-by-side
Tells the Palestinian narrative on the left hand side, and the Israeli narrative on the right hand side.
