[CONSOLIDATED] Israel & Palestine Hamas conflict updates [History Discussion and stirring against any religion NOT ALLOWED]

[Tofu Expert]

Play with fire must be prepared to get burned one.

 

[Tschuus]

oh no , what would bolehland say nao? Hamas is their ally. I think Malaysia should do the right thing and evict all western businesses in their country. How could you do business and make money with all these western nations supporting Israel? What are all the semi con and data centers investments you are taking from these western nations? It is simply the behavior of untrustworthy snakes to keep bedding these western powers.

Quoted"
Hamas has released an Official Statement announcing the Death of Chief Political Leader, Ismail Haniyeh as a result of an Attack earlier tonight in the Iranian Capital of Tehran. Haniyeh had just met yesterday with Iranian Supreme-Leader, Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian.
"

Got chance he was sold out by either one of them due to some disagreement?

pls read the 2nd post of sticky https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/...itical-threads-or-flame-wars-in-edmw.7014911/

Addendum:
There has still been some confusion about what is allowed and not allowed.
To be clear, all geopolitical threads should not be in EDMW, that is why you will noticed such threads being in CAL or deleted,
There are a small minority who have continued and they are doing this on a very frequent basis and are still continuing despite multiple warning and notifications. Please start the threads at the right forum.

If you want to fight, go to a MMA gym (CAL) where we have stricter rules in place, if you go to a kopitam (EDMW) to fight, then you are a public nuisance.

Persistent starter of geopolitical threads outside of CAL will be banned.

As a special concession, Breaking News of public interest are allowed to be in EDMW for a limited period of time. Such threads will be moved back to CAL in a couple of days when interest has died down. This is similar to what we do for drama threads.

However this is conditioned on no bickering, should we noticed an uptick in fighting and reports, This privilege will be taken away and even Breaking News will be moved to CAL.

Stick to 1 breaking news thread instead of starting 101 threads.

1. How to argue?

For Ad hominem and name-calling, its instant 6 points.
Persistent offenders will be banned.

2. Comment on content, not on the commentators.
Using someone's affiliations or a label as ad hominem means of dismissing or discrediting their views is strictly not allowed, whether in EDMW or CAL.

If you are using labels, then that is name calling,
It doesn't matter to say you are not directing label at anyone, obviously its directed at someone.
Do not weasel out by saying its not directed at anyone unless its explicitly stated at people of concern in the thread topic and not thread participants.

below is a non exhaustive list in **[IMPORTANT] EDMW Must-reads!**

other terms include woke, 乳滑, 1450, Little Pink, Clinton crazies, Trump derangement syndrome.
you can refer to this list below, they are however not exhaustive
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Political_pejoratives_for_people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_slurs

3. Semantic Drift
Meanings of the words can change.
there is nothing wrong with the original meaning of some of the words above, but pejoration can occur and they can take on new meanings in the forum context.

We will take action based on the most commonly understood meaning of the word as understood by most of the forum based on the context of the thread and how the post is being phased and who it is directed. Please do not engage in literalism and word games to weasel your way out by denying what you mean. You only damage your own credibility, pls have some self-respect.

Similarly, pejorative words can undergo amelioration. Please do not just spam reports just based on literalism, look at the context of how such words are used.

4. Derailing / Mini Modding
If you are talking about anything beside the thread topic, then you are derailing.
We are much stricter on derailing in geo-political threads because topics tend to be more sensitive and have higher potential to be develop in fights.

Whataboutism or whataboutery, is strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.
This will be considered both as derailing or ad-hominem, please refrain from such arguments.

However, please also refrain calling out ad-hominem / whataboutism or engage in any other form of mini-modding.
If you spot anything wrong, just report and put the offender in your ignore list, being baited into a fight is not an excuse.
Users who derail / mini-mod will be deemed as public nuisance and infracted.
Persistent offenders will be banned.

5. Distinguishing between misinformation, the unverifiable and opinions.
This is a discussion forum for the exchange and discussion of ideas and opinion. This is not a news site, Forum members are responsible for their own posts. Exercise your own critical thinking and do not believe blindly everything you read.

if there is a baseless allegation or false claim, pls rebut in the thread, you do not have to convince the moderating team. Quote credible news sources to support your point in the thread or report.

please read the tnc that you agree to:

We will not tolerate anybody weaponizing fake news label to silence difference of opinion, this is also a form of mini-modding. Users who do so will be infracted and persistent offenders will be banned.

6. Regarding how to guard against misinformation or disinformation campaign,
Pls refer to https://www.gov.sg/article/singapores-fight-against-fake-news-what-you-can-do
https://www.mha.gov.sg/docs/default...on-disinformation-and-influence-campaigns.pdf

For selected topic of public interest, we may issue corrective warning and/or amend the thread title. Frequent starters of fake news will be banned.

For Breaking News that we allow to stay in EDMW for a couple of days, these are often developing stories which are ripe for misinformation / disinformation, please read whatever with a big pinch of salt, and please also share responsibly,

We allow the platform for discussion of breaking news, which by definition are often unverified and often speculative, so please exercise some common sense and do not come to the moderating teams with strange request like verifying whether the president of Ukraine is in Kiev, we are not the CIA and CIA themselves may not know. Just because an opinion is implausible and illogical doesn't equate to being fake news or misinformation. Point out the unlikelihood of the scenario or provide a credible news source to counter instead of throwing a casual insult or label, else you will be warned and banned.

7. For appeal and feedback
Given the nature of dispute in geopolitical threads, they can concurrently fall under Harassment / Derailing / Mini-Modding / Name-Calling / Racism, we may issue you the infraction under any one of the above, pls do not quibble over the actual offense name as the forum software does not allow us to check all of the above and give you 5x6 points, so please do not quibble. If you want to quibble, we can acquiesce and give you the 5x6 points.

Please refer to [EDMW Advisory] Reporting an offending post, and where to appeal against infraction & other matters and Feedback Forum
Guidelines ***Please read before you post***
