So if Israel fishing out Hamas is illegitimate then what is Israel expected to do?

"Fishing out Hamas", is when you bomb Hamas, and not when you bomb a school or hospital without fishing out Hamas!

At the moment, Israel seems to be fishing out Palestinians, and that's why it is genocide.

Ibime:
They all have local journalists in Gaza who follow their war reporting protocols, withdraw from areas of heavy fighting, follow safe corridors etc

BBC does not have local journalists in Gaza! They get there reports from people not trained to BBC standards, and that's why their reporting in Gaza is subject to so many revisions and errors.

"It is vital to bring people the truth about what is happening in Gaza. International journalists are not currently allowed into Gaza and we would welcome the support of the White House in our call for immediate access."

But seriously! Have you always been this way and I just missed it?

benalvino3:
I said people who can't defend themselves should always look for peace.

I find it absurd you'd be asking me to seek peace with people who are chasing me out of my home and occupying it.

Its like asking you to seek peace with me who is constantly kicking your ass, or asking UK to seek peace with Hitler when German bombs were dropping on their heads, or even asking the Jews to seek peace with the Germans who were incinerating them!

Ibime:
Good luck believing anything from Hamas. Hamas provide the data, Hamas correct the data. Hamas tell you most journalists have been killed and they are all work for Hamas TV or are alive

Only a fowl takes data or news from a terrorist who shoot their own people queuing for food sef for propaganda purposes

I do not have to take the fact foreign journalists are barred from Gaza from Hamas, when every time BBC reports on Gaza they mention Israel doesn't allow them in there, and numerous journalists are asking to be let in to see for themselves.

For more than 20 months, Israeli authorities have barred foreign journalists from entering the Gaza Strip.

Find in the link. UN itself is giving aid.. except the UN itself is lying and you are the only true source of good information...

https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/05/1163501

UN and it's affiliates are providing aid to victims..

Youre fully soaked in the IDF propaganda. You are not neutral.

I was surprised he claims otherwise, but then, he agrees with the basilicos he never could agree with till now.

Ibeme:
Why are there no BBC, Reuters, CNN journalists killed who follow war protocols

Because they are not allowed by Israel to go report in Gaza!

Ibeme:
I have stated unequivocally and with my conscience that there is no deliberate targeting of Civilians by the STATE of Israel

So, when Israel is expropriating Land in the West Bank they are not deliberately targeting civilians?

Ibime:
But it's still the Hamas providing the data abi?

Help me check the date on this - April 2025

You make people fill "martyr forms" to notify of death - the highest honour in Palestinian society - and got nuccas whose relatives died of diabetes, pneumonia and heart attacks filling forms to claim stolen valour

Hundreds of names Ibi! Most of us read those figures with a ± at least 5-10% in mind, and expect revisions.

Its like when they say "Six million Jewish people died were murdered in the Holocaust". We expect that figure to have been rounded up or down to the nearest million.

This article is from May 2024, when the eyes of your ilk were closed. This was only 8 months into the conflict.

I can't stand such dishonest people who have to lie to themselves in order to justify their beliefs.

Everyday247:
It was prophesied that it'll be yesterday 😏

Well, thanks tons.

Everyday247:
Wow! Good to know.

Happy birthday 🎂🎈 btw

And how did you figure it's my birthday?

FreeIgboho:
Please, all these have been PROVEN CONCLUSIVELY FALSE!!
Not so with Bubu dying in 2017 when he spent about a year in UK and came back looking much younger with some prominent birth marks (like split in his ear) missing!!

Some still believe bubu died in 2017 too, and refuse to accept it's debunked.

Everyday247:
Na wa oh!

I thought you were Buddhist

I am Buddhist. Zen, to be exact. Some believe in gods while some know gods are human creations.

FreeIgboho:
How can she be married to Jubril El Sudani? She was married to Bubu but he died in 2017

Obama was not born in the United States of America, Americans did not land on the moon, and the earth is most definitely flat.

You have not provided a source for this notice nor have I found anything of the sort anywhere!

WAEC ended in June.

By quantitative easing, I'm hearing subsidies, by which government pumps printed money into the economy.

"Hard currency" is a misnomer where inflation is so rampant. Its why gold has appreciated so much lately. Its literally hard.

Nick Funtes: "... when we look back on the history of populism in America, we are going to look back on the MAGA movement as the biggest scam in American history".


10 years too late.

I'm certain the below will get me a spambot but I can't resist.

"You are fat, you are a joke, you are stupid, you are not funny, you are not as smart as you think you are," Fuentes said, later adding, "This entire thing has been a scam."

Before you say why complaining, no it's not a complain, I only advocate for people to own up to their nepotism with full chest. If you decide to be nepotistic then be proud of it

I don't see why this shouldn't be expected. If I won the election Tinubu won, those posts would be filled by members of my family and very close friends, and they are obviously likely to be from my tribe, and my village, though I doubt I'd find enough there to fill all the posts that need filling.

Its really like an American president giving jobs to his friends and family, if you asked me.

My response above would suffice, I hope. Sham or not, more people voted for Tinubu.

givedemwotowoto:
That Tinubu was declared winner doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call out the sham called election. Even when Yar’Adua was elected, he admitted the election was flawed, and started electoral reforms, and Goodluck continued with that, and that eventually is what got us to Buhari even winning an election

What you’re doing here is pretense! Though we all accept the SC judgement because that makes it legal, that doesn’t mean the election wasn’t a sham!

givedemwotowoto:
That Tinubu was declared winner doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call out the sham called election.

Tinubu was declared winner, to my disappointment, because he got the most votes.

The only thing sham about Nigeria's last election was how many sat on their lazy asses and refused to get up to go and vote and are now wailing about it.

And the reason most didn't vote is precisely because of this false notion that our elections are scam, which is what I would promote to my opposers so they don't bother voting, while encouraging my supporters to go and vote for me so I win.

budaatum:
93 million Nigerians were registered to vote at the last election and only 9 million elected our president. 20 million in total voted while the rest sat on their lazy asses at home, and now are crying hungry and impeach.

Firebox123:
how many votes does Peter obi have in North

Attach with evidence and proof please

I'm very certain you can google that info yourself.

I do wonder why you'd think Obi would get enough votes in the North to win a presidential election in Nigeria though. And that, despite winning in Lagos.

givedemwotowoto:
Nothing wrong about what he wrote there except we just want to pretend like the election wasn’t a sham in strategic locations like Lagos and Rivers

I'm not buying trump like whining about winning an election he clearly lost.

The election is what it was, my Obi did not get enough votes to win. And my Obi's lack of organisation of us his supporters would make him lose next election, I warn.

OredoPikin:
The 2023 Nigerian presidential election was a highly contested and dramatic event that left the nation divided. Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate, emerged as the people's president, earning the admiration and respect of many Nigerians. On the other hand, Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and sworn in as the current Nigerian president.

The above sounds like INEC declared the person with fewer votes as the winner, which is not true at all!

Happy birthday my Obi.

PulsingPurple:
I find no argument against God valid.

And that's okay. Its like finding no argument against believing a million pounds is in ones pocket. Until one checks of course so one may actually know, or until one needs to pay someone it for a purchase.

What amuses me is how the gods mostly worshipped by Nigerians are all foreign, with not many believing in the existence of Sopona or Ogun or Amadioha. It shows how powerful books can be, and how permeable some minds are.

PulsingPurple:
The idea was critical reasoning with/by yourself.

I find it funny you'd be teaching me this, but that's Nairaland I guess.

Your threads show someone willing to consider both sides of the theist-atheist argument while seeking answers for yourself, which is refreshing, and biblical, dare I say.

Do let me know what you find when you do find. I'd be interested.

Obrigardo:
Hey guys I think I'll be setting up an independent media. I've seen the power of independent media over the past 8 years and it's breathtaking like Meidas touch dominating everything. I knew when they started with few hundreds of subs, now they even dominate Joe Rogan.

If not for the independent media, we wouldn't have known that the tyrant abuser trump is seriously sick and could kick the bucket anytime.

CNN and fox couldn't even care to report on his swollen ankles.

I'd be delighted to work with you.

I not only read your op, I went and read other threads you have begun here and found nothing to engage me, but this thread had you mention critical reasoning, and is the only thing of interest to me in it and hence my addition to your thread.

Now, as an atheist, I not only see no reason to believe in the existence of gods, I have sufficient knowledge to know its like believing you have a million pounds in your bank account at this very moment. But I am not that concerned, since you are not telling me to believe what you believe.

PulsingPurple:
There, you could have just said this at once. 😂
I understand the thrill of beating around the bush too, I don't blame you.

I think you might want to read the OP again.
I:
1. Gave a little background info
2. Expressed my little thought
3. Referred you to two videos I found (transcribed and posted), with hopes that you might find something that stirs a thought in you, possibly leading to the "Critical Reasoning".

Maybe you expected me to make a presentation of my reasonings or set the stage for people to present their thoughts, that wasn't my objective.

The idea was critical reasoning with/by yourself.

For the last line of your sentence, I believe anyone who claims to have some form of reasoning (not necessarily critical) should have been able to understand the message I passed. If so we wouldn't be stuck in this conversation.

PulsingPurple:
I don't think I see where exactly you're headed.

I mean, if you're asking me to "critically reason", I have, I can, I'm still learning.

But what's the point of saying this? I don't really get.

I couldn't figure out the point of your opening post neither, but reserved you the right to post it knowing readers will make of it what they want just as you should make what you want of what I've posted, which you ought to be able to do if you reason critically.

As to where one is headed, perhaps concentrate on where you are first.

PulsingPurple:
Okay, and?

(Insert random words to match character limit)

And, critically reason, or learn to.

How casually he dismissed a bombing of a Church and the human beings in it.
It's not "material".

The numerous beings bombed in Gaza are not humans, as far as some are concerned.
