This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
From what I've seen, IDF tactics have not been any more offensive than US WW2 tactics. One could make the argument that this war overall is immoral, or the overall strategy is needlessly extending it, and thus the civilians casualties are immoral since the war is unjust either wholly or partly. I think that's a serious argument which I'm not fully rejecting or accepting due to uncertainty.
While some Israeli leaders are talking pretty harshly, the actual conduct of the IDF is not that of a genocidal army. I'm not a fan of what I see as pro-Israeli interests distorting US policy, but I do sympathize with the Israelis since they are outnumbered in a very bad neighborhood and are dealing with a population, Palestinians, that due to both popular sympathies and the spoiler effect seem unwilling and incapable to actually stick to any halfway reasonable bargain.
I feel like I'm living in some parallel universe to posters here, but things coming out of the IDF recently look worse than Azeri conduct in Armenia a few years ago. I had to actively block all war accounts on Twitter after the recent "8 month baby torture video" which I don't think I've ever seen any military do, ever. Don't get me started on videos of beating up old people in literal, currently ongoing pogroms in the West Bank. Machine gunning down hundreds of civilians intentionally in Gaza etc. This happened along a steady stream of Israeli officials literally calling for the murder of their enemies children, btw. Calling this "talking pretty harshly" seems genuinely bewildering to me.
I'm extremely skeptical of your claim. For starters, can you (1) post the videos of the IDF "machine gunning down hundreds of civillians intentionally in Gaza; and (2) specify exactly what you mean by "ongoing pogroms in the West Bank"
