  1. Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Fewer Tweets, More Discussion

    People often make similar statements about international law of armed conflicts, saying it doesn't really work - and whilst I'd agree that the impact of international law in general and the UN in particular is often overblown, we must also recognise what the alternative would be i.e. countries...
  2. Internationals March (Euro Play-Offs + Friendlies)

    Get Kimmich off the ball and Gnabry and Sané off the field and Germany looks much better.
  3. Terror attack in Moscow music hall | Do not post shooting videos or dead bodies

    That’s right. A kid in Zurich almost killed a Jewish man with a knife. Swiss citizen with Algerian roots. I think they are still investigating as to how he got radicalised.

    I think I agree with you on most points, but I’d only add that we should also not pretend like Russia or China gave one single feck about the life and suffering of the people in Gaza. They’ll continue to vote in their own interest just like the US.

    This is the what was in the US draft according to the UN newsticker: Makes imperative an immediate and sustained ceasefire with an “urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance” to all civilians and lifting “all barriers” to delivering aid at scale to Gazans Israel and all armed...
  6. German Football 23/24 |

    DFB in Nike from 2027 on. Feels wrong.
  7. Film The Redcafe Movie review thread

    Watched Napoleon last night and couldn't help but ask myself for whom this movie was for exactly? It's too inaccurate/rushed to please fans of the historical context, whilst at the same time it doesn't spend enough meaningful time with Josephine either as to where I could see it as some kind of...
  8. Turkish club president runs onto pitch and punches the referee

    UEFA needs to put serious sanctions on the Turkish clubs. Ban them all for five years.
  9. Golf 2024

    Very spursy finish from Xander.
  10. Transgender rights discussion

    Genuinely curious what goes through her head when she posts stuff like that. Surely, if you have that much money, you should be able to do more interesting things than being an idiot on Twitter.
  11. Nordic Goal Yeti | Haaland at City

    He’s just not a big game player (yet). Games like today are worth remembering when people think Haaland deserves a Ballon d’Or over Mbappé or Messi.
  12. Film The Redcafe Movie review thread

    Asteroid City (2023) Very Wes Anderson. Lovely to look at even though the story is a bit hard to follow. 7.5/10 Babylon (2022) I didn’t watch this for quite a while, because the reviews were a bit mixed, but I absolutely loved it. It’s 200% too much, but in a great way. 9.5/10
  13. Film Oscars 2024

    Totally agree. Maestro is essentially a 2hr “Bradley Cooper thinks that Bradley Cooper is great and deserves an Oscar”-wankfest.
  14. Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Fewer Tweets, More Discussion

    I agree with you insofar as I’d also say that Israel seems to move with great aggression and little regard to civilian life in order to reach their military goals. What I am less sure about is if that’s enough for the ICJ to get to a verdict of a genocidal intent. Now, I guess what should also...

    I am not justifying anything. I was simply trying to relay the points made in this article. As we’ve since seen in this discussion there are other explanations for why the data looks the way that it looks which on first glance can seem suspicious. I think that’s great, because that’s how we...
