    Farage, meanwhile, has deactivated his Instagram and Facebook accounts—particularly after it emerged that he had participated in the ongoing atrocities in Gaza as an IDF soldier. Nevertheless, screenshots from his Instagram, showing him in uniform and armed in front of a destroyed building in Gaza, continue to circulate widely across social media.

      Amazing, ground and pounding him while yelling free Palestine in his face, some of the crowd joined in the chant too.

      I hope they’re not going to start saying it’s bigotry not to allow Israeli MMA fighters to go in the ring without a rifle

          Looking forward to observing the inevitable mental gymnastics after a diaspora Jew beats an Israeli at a sport.

          Non-euclidean cognitive contortionism is just around the corner!

          I’ve literally seen a ‘history/geography’ youtuber literally try and explain that Palestinians don’t want their homes back because it’s their homes, but it’s because they’re antisemitic (Badempanada did a video shredding this guy’s idiocy on the topic)

    It was a unanimous 30-27 which means that, over 3 rounds, everybody responsible for judging the fight thought that Paddy had won every round. It’s how they judge a fight without a submission, KO, TKO, etc.

    Absolutely based in the way that he beat up and Israeli, but I remember having interesting discussions about not engaging with Israelis in sports. For example, I went from trying extra hard in chess to aborting games before they start to forfeiting after the first turn because it unambiguously says “I don’t want to play with you” where aborting could be "maybe they joined by mistake or something. Is what Paddy did more based than not competing?

      by your method people could turn it into “afraid of facing superior israelis”. by paddy’s method he beat the superiority right out of that israeli pig and got paid handsomely to do it

      If you are capable of physically restraining an israeli while screaming “Free Palestine” in their face, whatever choices led you to that point were the right ones.

      a combat sport carve out makes sense here; doing violence against nazis is always the correct choice

        It’s gotta be a carve out for striking sports or something. Because me doing BJJ against an Israeli is as much an endorsement as playing pickleball with them. I also think those niche combat sports like MMA in a car are a bit too silly to not object to competing with an Israeli. But Olympic judo would have a solid case for not pulling out despite no striking (while pulling out would be intensely based).

        I propose bare knuckle boxing to be the standard by which combat sports are judged as the minimum intensity threshold that a combat sport must overcome in order to be a better option than objection. If it’s more intense (Olympic judo, regular boxing, kickboxing, MMA, HEMA) then you’re good, but if it’s less intense (BJJ, car MMA, fencing, novice judo) then it’s less admirable. You ask yourself “Do I stand to do more damage to my opponent than a fist to the face?”

        That satisfies what @小莱卡@lemmygrad.ml @FALGSConaut@hexbear.net @jack@hexbear.net were saying.

          That makes sense to me, combat sports are a spectrum and there’s no point in engaging with a fascist if there isn’t some risk to their health

          if you have the opportunity to maim a current or former idf-cool member legally, you should take it 100% of the time. probably a lot of the time if it’s illegal too, but manage your own risk etc.

      Punching your opponent in the face is frowned upon in most sports so no engagement makes sense there but I see no reason to pass up an opportunity to beat the shit out of a fascist
