And there it is. Not a peep about the violence of settler colonialism of the Isreali state but - 'they should die in silence'. Fucking warped.

This would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. "If you can't win against a force that is successfully exterminating you bit by bit, then you ought to r...

Turns out the US does support terrorism, so long as it's their terrorists. Shitty fucking country.

Kinda hilarious how these people with nothing to say all end up turning to stupid little psychological quips. Like @"Joshs" 'concern' for my emotional...

It's not radical to oppose Isreal's ethnic cleansing program. It's radical to not.

Oh sweet summer child.

"For over five decades, Israel has denied all rights of the Palestinians under its control, has stolen most of their resources – agricultural land, wa...

I'm not the one waxing lyrical about haggadah readings and pining for the good 'ol days of Zionist factionalism while Israel is leveling buildings and...

There is no empathy to be had for people defending genocide, no matter how hard you'd like to pull on heart strings.

What's heartening about the recent reactions to present Isreali violence is the near total moral clarity around it. For years discussions of Isreal-Pa...

Ha, fair point.

Of all of them, "move to Jordan" has got to be the most mind-numbingly idiotic.

Your concern is touching. And would we all one day turn into Chomsky's the world would be an incomparably better place.

On this we agree, but not for reasons you think.

The US is not a democracy. In any case, if 'utopian idealist' is what one gets labeled for opposing Israeli apartheid, and the systematic, longue duré...

Gee, it's almost like the idea of an 'Isreali form of democracy' is not a form of democracy at all. It's almost as if the state itself is racist to it...

Supposedly if they did, apartheid would have been OK, yes? Because otherwise surely black South Africans under apartheid never once wished ill upon th...

Never mind that the Gazans have, quite literally, been driven to the sea - beyond which they face a military blockade of platformed weapon systems - b...

Concessions on apartheid are not concessions. And the state who is demonstrably - and so far successfully - committed to the annihilation of a populat...

Yeah why can't people stay rational instead of *check notes* listing facts?

What's wrong? Justifying apartheid got too much for you?

Yeah why don't they just control themselves while Israel steals their land, demolishes their homes, deny them rights, and gradually box them into an i...

One imagines some cunt saying that if the Jews in Germany just left it would have solved the problem, but of course, that person would be a cunt.

Could have fooled me. Perhaps you might want to ask me about Japan again or something to really drill it home.

I'm not going to answer any of your hypotheticals, not one. I'm not here to play masturbatory moral chess games. I'm here to discuss the murder of fle...

:starstruck: :love: This is one I keep coming back to, it's so, so good.

It certainly doesn't help that Netanyahu, up to his neck in corruption and so weak a leader that he has been unable to secure a stable majority despit...

What matters is what counts as such deliberate murder. That's why it's difficult for us to converse. The difference is that I will not search high and...

I don't have 'an' attitude toward miltary action because I'm not so naive to think one can reason one's way to action from first principles.

That Isreal stop being an apartheid state and cease its colonial activites immediately. As a start. Ideally, pay for the reconstruction and restituion...

It doesn't help that the US is basically a pair of international arms dealers and a hedge fund in a trench coat. They need to secure their markets.

If you abstract these actions from the context in which they occur you render yourself cognitively incapacitated. And in that context, these actions a...

https://twitter.com/OmarBaddar/status/1391830591860101124 Same goes if you start your argument from #3.

Again, cute thought experiment, but there's nothing 'necessary' about Isreali apartheid and settler colonialism.

War is unethical through and through. War makes monsters of all who participate in it - whether or not they have a choice, no matter the end to which ...

Yes.

No. You don't get to excuse one of the most sophisticated militaries on earth with opposie doopsy we made a whoopise.

This is true, but most of those other regimes are not held up as shining beacons of democracy with 'best pal' status with the US. We will have gone so...

Thanks. With 'arguments' so vacuous that's really all it takes.

As opposed to what exactly? The extensive tracts of 'non-civilian' land available to - oh wait, there isn't any, because Isreal is an imperialist land...

I wonder which of the 9 children Isreal bombed to pulp the other day contributed to its self defense?

You missed the bit where you read it so badly that you failed elementary grammar while doing so. Even the OP, who presumably read only the limited exc...

"This is the most mainstream that criticism of Israeli apartheid oppression has ever been in my lifetime, and as more and more mainstream human rights...

Says the dude who is defending people's inability to cite 'the actual issues' - or when they do, misread them so egregiously that even basic subject-o...

As to be expected from an apartheid state going mask-off, under pressure of a government that is so beseiged by corruption and incapacity that it's el...

So when did you stop beating your wife?

No one is under any obligation to 'correct' views which are pulled out of nowhere. Otherwise, perhaps you can tell me when you stopped beating your wi...

Found in the forum wild, in reply to @"Banno". Glorious.

This is what happens when people have nothing to say on the topic at hand, because entirely unfamiliar - it spirals into adjacent effloresces. I would...

There's no need. No one here is actually talking about CRT - they're using the name of CRT to talk about a loose association of 'discussions around ra...
