:up: History is the refuge of the coward.
May 22, 2021 at 10:35
It really doesn't. Israel simply needs to fuck right back off into its own borders and rewrite its constitution so it stops being a Jewish supremacist...

Big Hummus would like to have a word.

But it is part of our vocation to corrupt the youth.
May 20, 2021 at 08:30
Like so many other things, one simply has to follow the money - the US provides billions in aid to Israel, which is then used to buy arms from US corp...

Whatever it takes to justify your 3 word vocabulary.

There it is hahaha
May 19, 2021 at 15:32
In the asymmetrical distribution of power which Israel levearges at every point as an opressive, aggressor force, it is indeed entirely responsible fo...
May 19, 2021 at 14:52
Considering Israel was directly responsible for the creation of Hamas - and the conditions which perpetuate its existence - yes.
May 19, 2021 at 14:36
Nope. Israel bears fulls responsibility for everything that is happening, and anyone who 'both-sides' it is a fucking moron.
May 19, 2021 at 14:34
This is why I love letting these people show themselves for who they are - they honestly think everyone else is as morally vacuous as they are, and th...
May 19, 2021 at 14:19
Lol, you're so transparent. I'd watch every Hamas leader rot in the ground for what they're doing to LGBTQ people in Palestine - right next to Israeli...
May 19, 2021 at 14:07
Oh I'm sorry would you like to change the subject again? In any case, don't pretend you give a flying hoot about LGBTQ issues, you opportunistic wease...

Read: "jump in and draw out the natural implication of my own example". Squirm more, genocide apologist.
May 19, 2021 at 13:30
That's the scope of the conversation you'd like to have, considering that even a moment's reflection upon its consequences would make parallels which ...
May 19, 2021 at 13:12
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of you backtracking on your historical example because the most pertinent part of it - the decades long ...
May 19, 2021 at 13:04
Hmm, it's like the fall of the Berlin Wall in which the ejection of an unspeakably brutal occupying power is not today celebrated as among history's m...
May 19, 2021 at 12:46
Was this before or after Israel blockaded its ports of entry and exit, whittled away its key infrastructure like electricity, water, roads, sewerage, ...
May 19, 2021 at 12:30
Israel's illegal settlements do not constitute its entire presence in the Middle-East - unless of course, you're admitting more than you'd care to do ...
May 19, 2021 at 11:50
Agreed. It is reasonable that Israel cease its genocide of the Palestinian people, immediately remove all its illegal settlements, and compensate the ...
May 19, 2021 at 11:36
The facts of the matter remain that the one state that is actually carrying out a program of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and pogroms is Israel. Not as...
May 19, 2021 at 11:18
I am well aware of the history. What it translates to in the present day is, as Brooks put it, a sheer asymmetry of power that is being unilaterally e...

Are you done defending genocide or do you have like another three posts to froth out the side of your mouth?
May 18, 2021 at 08:55
You're very bad at this.
May 18, 2021 at 08:46
I cited sources, but again, I realize your illiteracy continues to get the best of you.
May 18, 2021 at 08:37
Well yes but in this case I am accusing a state that is committing genocide of genocide.
May 18, 2021 at 08:34
Yeah something about your posts gave that away.
May 18, 2021 at 08:30
I will. Hopefully the more normalized it is, the more people will recognize Israeli genocide for what it is.
May 18, 2021 at 08:29
You asked me 'who makes decisions' and I gave you an answer. I happen to agree with those decisions, because they coincide with helping to stem the Is...
May 18, 2021 at 08:22
I agree. I do think the kind of sentiment expressed in the video is widespread, but most are simply too savvy to come right out and say it. It's why t...
May 18, 2021 at 08:20
Well insofar as Israel is ignoring international law and committing genocide, you're right that it's not particularly effective at the moment. Nor alo...
May 18, 2021 at 08:14
I'm not the one deciding on anything - at this point I'm simply deferring to international law. And in any case this appeal to abstraction 'what reall...

https://twitter.com/jvplive/status/1384898200298000384 Israeli terrorists simply admitting to stealing land.
May 18, 2021 at 08:06
Palestinian land belongs to Palestinians. And by every metric outside of Israeli settler colonialist fanaticism, the theft of that land is illegal.
May 18, 2021 at 08:02
Wonder, you're just a username to me. I barely know anything about you, and I don't read most of what you write. Nothing personal - I don't read the m...
May 18, 2021 at 07:57
I don't know what you are talking about.
May 18, 2021 at 07:49
The same thing that distinguishes any people belonging to a geographical area - the fact that they have lived there, and that the land which Israel is...
May 18, 2021 at 07:47
Your desperation is showing, mate. All the better for anyone who can see it in full flight.
May 18, 2021 at 07:43
I didn't say they are not Arabs, I said they are not interchangeable with any Arabs. Although I realize your illiteracy sometimes gets in the way of r...
May 18, 2021 at 07:40
Palestinians are not just interchangeable with any Arabs, although I can see why this kind of racist talking point is peddled by genocide deniers like...
May 18, 2021 at 07:26
The plan is mostly in the pudding - which includes, but is not limited to, the codified racism of Israeli law, the widespread demolition of homes, the...
May 18, 2021 at 07:17
OK fascist. A 'dispute' in which one power is subjecting an entire population to destitution so as to steal their land and destroy their means of livi...
May 18, 2021 at 02:06
You should also cite an argument straight out of Mein Kampf about overpopulation too, because that is totally not the calling card of fascists. For th...
May 18, 2021 at 00:42
Well 6 millions Jews were killed so that makes it OK if Israel commits a little genocide in turn as a treat.
