Gaza is one strange concentration camp, so having an effect from there is limited. First of all, the Palestinians would have to overcome the highly di...
Thanks for those words, Schopenhauer1! When we know we agree on those things, we can go further with the topic... How can it change for the better? Ho...
Not only misinformation, but also simple ignorance. Just take for example the Israeli nuclear deterrence or it's biological and chemical warfare capab...

Nice to have an opposing view to the lab-leak hypothesis, but have to say that article is truly difficult to read. Yes, and oncologist editor of a sit...
Yet this is the typical, standard line from woke people like Hamilton Nolan who actually cannot even see their own wokeness: How dare anybody even tal...
Just ask yourself: How did (West) Europeans find this harmony to try something as crazy as the European Union? Even if it has it's faults, it's pretty...
This is a tactical / operational modus operandi that Israel has. It's basically a "Tit-for-tat" strategy added with a larger operation every once in a...
Well, if you consider everything that any intelligence service says to be total propaganda. I think the real debate ought to be on the safety of the g...
Pappe has gotten some criticism, but I think the main argument that the exodus was planned by the Yishev holds. But then again, parts of Galilee did h...
I don't remember if I've invested in Black Rocks funds at some point or not. At least it has been an option to invest in some of their funds in my inv...
Well known is the massacre at the village of Deir Yassin: Here's a clip from a documentary explaining Deir Yassin. People from both sides are intervie...
Yes, there was (is) this narrative going on that to utter the Lab-leak hypothesis, you were racist pizzagate-level conspiracist Trump-supporter and on...
It's called now days ethnic cleansing. The Jews didn't perpetrate large massacres, but enough to start the Palestinian exodus. Yet I don't know how bi...

Absolutely wrong. A possibility is a possibility. You are the one making the argument that a person in one article says that it's extremely unlikely, ...
I don't think you got my point: If you fear that your own citizens will turn your back on you and go with the enemy, then you obviously have done some...
I think people here are talking about a hypothesis. So It's pretty odd replying to @"Apollodorus" that there is "no logic" in the schema and that the ...
That's just to show that the issues aren't fabricated, propaganda and actually everything is just fine with the Arab Israelis. You said it very well: ...
Nice that you can be an optimist. I remember a same kind of front made by Time magazine about those killed in the US by firearms: http://img.timeinc.n...
I think the reason is that one of the leading medical journals, The Lancet, published a condemnation of all "conspiracy theories" of possibility of a ...
Possible, I suspect the biological weapon hypothesis. Something like flu as a weapon is simply stupid. The Japanese that actually used biological weap...
Seems that the Lab-leak hypothesis is finally getting some interest in the correct circles: See Covid: Biden orders investigation into virus origin as...
I think the counterargument to anything here is: "Israel has the right to defend itself and Hamas wishes to destroy Israel." And that basically covers...
Ok, where do we start? How about the systemic discrimination based upon legislation: Then of course the downgrade of Arabic being an official language...
And of course the real issue is that these Palestinians, who officially aren't even called Palestinians but Arab israelis, do face discrimination in t...
That's one good way how to think of it. And other thing is that they focus their message on two special audiences: the US and the religious zealots. P...
I think war is morally dubious and those that only look at the moral justifications typically are the culprits for the war in the first place. Bombing...
On the other hand, the actions of the British Army during "Operation Banner" and the actions of the Israeli Armed Forces toward the Palestinians are a...
Look at the bright side: they keep tabs on everybody. Pro-choice and Pro-life groups, right-wing militias, left-wing anarchists. After all, domestic t...

The proponents of scientism define science to be so different from political or economic investigations. Yet one can be objective, trying to observe r...

OK man, I'll repeat it. But I think that the vast majority of the people here are influenced by the current environment, be it social, political or ec...
