You'd think that 'democratic' countries would respect the wishes of their people but no

Depending on how far they're willing to go, we might see restrictions placed on social media use and surveillance happening across board

Meta has been on a censorship campaign since this conflict started. People have been complaining about their posts being taken down unjustly and also having their accounts blocked and deactivated for posting Pro Palestinian contents.

People can say anything they want about Elon Musk but X is like the only social media app I know that is allowing many Pro Palestinian voices to be heard. YouTube has been censoring people too but I still get to access Pro Palestinian contents there.

Watcharena:
those guys are highly relented , their level of ingenuity is out of this world,even when they cut off all means of communication in Gaza ,they still had command and control over their fighers , Israel with all technology, satellites,survelence everything , mossad and all they couldn't locate even a single hostage or 45 days ,even with the help of US and their aircraft carriers

That's why people keep on reiterating that Netayanhu and his IDF don't have any clearly structured plan. At this point, it seems like their goal is to ethnically cleanse Gaza and ensure severe damages to lives and properties.

IMEI:
Yea they've raised their terror threat levels since the protests began, they'll use that as an excuse to suppress supporters

It should also be noted that recently in Germany, police raided the homes of Pro-Palestinians. The huge wave of Pro- Palestinian support across the western hemisphere was totally unexpected. The western government don't know how to sway the public opinion. MSM has failed and still continues to fail as people no longer trust them. People rely on independent journalists and first hand information they get from X or Telegram.

Mille:
Still the most outstanding feat of this conflict is how despite invading Gaza, a tiny strip of land, Israel and their allies have not been able to gain intelligence on the whereabouts of even a single prisoner.

Also, if you can remember when Russia laid a siege on Mariupol at the initial phase of the SMO last year. Everyone was shocked and even MSM couldn't spin it when images of UAF surrendering en masse after taking shelter in the Azovstal steel works began to go viral.

I was expecting this same scenario to play out when IDF laid a siege on Gaza. However, nothing of this sort has happened. All IDF has to show for victory is the high toll of civilian deaths and destruction of homes.

WriterNiiig:
⚡Authorities identify husband and wife whose car exploded in Rainbow Bridge crash — 53 years old, Kurt P Villani and his wife Monica Villani, both of Grand Island, New York.

The media was already trying to put a spin on this calling it a terror attack, alleging that an Iranian passport was found at the site of the explosion.

WriterNiiig:
⚡Al Manar: 7 Zionist spy planes are flying over the city of Rafah in a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement

IDF has been shooting at Palestinians trying to return to their homes. At this point, the whole humanitarian pause or whatever it is can be said to be a fallacy.

IMEI:
There's a scheme to make Ireland rethink its pro-Palestine stance

Why Ireland of all places and at this time?

Plus the quick pinning of the crime on an Algerian

Spain should also be on alert

Also UK, US and Canada. Basically all the western countries that held huge Pro Palestinian protests.

Stoplying:
It is also possible that the culprit is an Algerian whom Mossad used to commit the terrorist attack in order to change opinions. This wouldn't be the first time the USA and Israel would use terrorists and terrorism. Hamas was built up by Israel itself in order to undermine the Palestinian authority and the two state solution.

Of course, this take is being circulated on X. I don't want to label USA and Israel as the boogeyman but then, their actions over the years have made people suspicious to the extent of linking them to yesterday's attack and eventual riot in Dublin.

nairalanda1:
As usual, a call for sanity on this site degenerated into the usual arguments over nothing.

I agree with op, Nairaland got issues with moderation and suchlike. But at the end, most members like it that way. Also, if one were to do the banning of every offensive comment, one would easily become a super censorious person

I don't think I would like to be a nairaland moderator

Anyway,nahr, at the end, use the report button for any nasty comment that breaks the rules. That's all we got left

At this point, I believe that the state of things is fine with the majority here. Je ne m'en soucie plus vraiment.

motayoayinde:
Hmm.
The speed with which they announced the attacker as an "Arab Muslim from Algeria" and the spontaneity of the riots got me suspicious too.

Again, we're dealing with two rogue countries notorious for destabilising countries through this method.

Nobody knows anything for sure at this point. Thankfully the riots have been contained and many have been arrested for arson and looting. The government of Ireland will eventually release the identity of the attacker.

Hi everyone. Please I need advice from any Doctors (PHD) here. I am presently an undergraduate student, 400 level to be precise. Recently, I have started thinking about venturing into Academia although my mind is not made up yet.

What are the benefits and what are the challenges you have faced so far? Also, is it possible for one to switch fields? Thank you.

Wahabfuture:
See how your taqiya failed on arrival, hope you take next available flight to Gaza and fight the Israelis 🤣🖕

Nah fr, I think this is a bot. Nothing to see here again.

Wahabfuture:
You can only deceive the gullible, show us where you have condemned all the killings going on in Benue, plateau, South Kaduna and and other parts of Nigeria? What’s our business with Israel and Palestine war. Your Taqiya won’t fly here.

I don't have anything to prove to you. Who cares about the opinion of a nameless and faceless inconsequential person? If you don't see my post on nairaland condemning any extremist attack on innocent people in the states you listed, you can dig further. I am sure you will find one soon. I wish you all the best in your searches, may it not be futile.

Cultism is evil and barbaric. A thing that ought to belong in the past, shun and forgotten!

I have been following the Dublin riots closely and I must say that a lot of people have been postulating different theories as to what motivated the riot.

Of course the stabbing of the woman and little children which I strongly condemn is a trigger, a lot of people in Ireland are using this opportunity to channel out their frustrations regarding immigration policies which they believe their government is too complacent with. Conor McGregor recently declared that Ireland is at war and the citizens should fight back.

Now, there are conflicting reports as to the identity of the attacker, while some claim it is an Algerian immigrant others are claiming it is a far right extremist. As of now, the Ireland authority is yet to issue any report regarding this.

Another interesting take I saw on X is that this was a false flag attack planned by foreign actors to destabilise Ireland which is a staunch Pro Palestine country. This is more of a conspiracy theory at this point and I don't think anyone is taking it seriously.

PS: Attached are screenshots I took from Reuters and BBC this morning. Also attached is a link from BBC.

FoolishBoy419:
They are heading in the right direction. What's left is for Traore to keep a close eye on his associates. Anybody that makes any contact with France should be shot without trial before they turn him to another Sankara

I fear he will be sabotaged but let's see how everything pans out in the coming years.

FoolishBoy419:
How many of you listen to Pierce Morgan? He's been getting humiliated in every single debate he hosts on Gaza with hard facts. I recommend them for any open-minded person that wants to learn more about the issue.

People don't want to learn, they will condemn you as pro Hamas or a terrorist supporter. Anyway, anyone willing to learn more should indeed watch Piers Morgan's interviews especially the first interview he had with Bassem Youssef. Also, watch the interview he had recently with Norman Finklestein, you can also watch Norman Finklestein's interview with Candace Owens. Another notable interview is that of Andrew Tate which was trending recently.

Gerrard59:
I talk am. She is Pro-Hamas, BUT I am dead sure she has never protested against the Fulani herdsmen scrouge in Nigeria or when the Nigerian army killed many Igbo young men seeing in the name of fighting ESN which was formed to fight you guess it? Fulani herdsmen.

Don't mind the hypocrite!

You are dead sure? Now you seem to know all about me based on just a single letter I wrote. I don't dabble in ethno-supremacy politics you guys peddle here and most definitely I don't support the evil atrocities carried out by any extremist group whatsoever. To correct your flawed assumption that I am pro-hamas, I want to state clearly that I am pro-humanity, anti-apartheid, anti-colonialism and anti-genocide.

So y'all, I will be back tomorrow. I will continue to comment on this thread till the mods notice it. Also, I will reply your mentions and comments no matter how malicious or ignorant it is. Please take note, attack ad hominem doesn't work on me and I will never lower my standard to your level.

ednut1:
🙄. I have not noticed it because I ignore hamas Israel topics mostly. Both sides see black people as sub humans. They can kill them selves e no concern me

Dude, the highlighted phrase you are pointing out is an excerpt from Seun's post that I used as emphasis in my letter. It is not my word. You can remain neutral if you wish, we all cannot have the same convictions.

Gerrard59:
Seems we have a Hamas supporter here. I really wonder why black Africans are so bothered about people who don't give a hoot about them. How many Palestinians or Israelis have offered succour to victims of Muslims suffering in Nigeria, or victims of Fulani herdsmen butchering?

As for Seun and Nairaland, nothing will happen. You are not the first, and neither would you be the last. Nairaland as it is the best way to understand how Nigerians think, and say. If you want a Behind or controlled form of what Nigerians think, head to Reddit/Nigeria where they believe every Nigerian has constant electricity and uses electric cookers. Also, you could try TwitterNG, but it is almost looking like Nairaland these days. No idea about Facebook and Instagram though.

Nairaland is what Nigeria is. This is how you fellow citizens think. The earlier you get to understand this, the better.

If all you can derive from my letter is this, then so be it. Wallow in your ignorance and toxicity, it looks good on you.

ednut1:
If its bad for your mental health. Leave the forum. Na by force

So you like the toxicity in here that Seun himself pointed out? I am not surprised though. To clarify, I never said it was taking a toll on my metal health in the letter. I clearly stated that this whole hate speech thing is spoiling this site's image.

SeeWahala:
See this one . . .

You're already stark raving mad and chuckling to yourself from voices in your head

Better go check yourself in at yaba left

You should get a refund for your primary and secondary school education since your English teachers failed you. Mad is a synonym for angry, anyway you learn everyday and you are welcome.

Mordecai:
The op is a propagandist that is pained about not being able to sway the resolve of rational Nigerians who see Hamas clearly for the devil they are.

@nahr, don't sweat it. We stand resolutely behind Israel.

Hamas must be wiped out.

God is on our side. Truth is on our side. Natural Justice is on our side. Even the Arab world is on our side. Your propaganda is like water on the back of a duck. It is wasted on us.

Get back and do real research. While you're at it, take this to the bank. Hamas will be wiped out this time around.

You should make sure you know the meaning of a word before using it. How can you sum up my letter as propaganda when the comments I have been getting so far have proved my point for writing it in the first place?

I don't care if you are viewing this ongoing conflict with a religious lens, it's none of my business. You are free to remain resolute in your delusion.

This is getting really messy.

*Disclaimer*

This thread was not created with the aim of arguing about religion. Please take note.

When I posted this on the politics section this afternoon, I didn't expect any different response than the one I am getting now. I am not mad and I am not disappointed. At this point I am just amused.

Okanatansiike:

Ugh, this is still subpar.

Okanatansiike:
Mooooowha maaaaad

Nah, I am not impressed.

Okanatansiike:
Muhammaden?

Is this all you've got?

ElSudani:
I support humanity, I support the right of Palestinians and of course the right of the Jews to exist. I am not a sadist like you rooting for one to annihilate the other.

Thank you sir.
