In calling the deliberate murder and rape of civilians "legitimate resistance" you only expose your own moral bankruptcy. If that isn't wrong then nei...

There is no genocide; only the resurfacing of blood libels when Israel responds to the murder of 1200 of its own and the taking of hundreds of hostage...

"Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty" - J. Goebbels. Straight from the Goebbel's playbook. Not a word from you on the widespread sexual...

A better comparison would be if there was a hardline Islamist party in a province of Spain that sought to conquer Madrid and impose hardline Islamic r...

I don't think Israel specifically wants to annex Gaza. I can't imagine Hamas staying in power though. It would be like al-Qaeda ruling a region on the...
October 17, 2024 at 18:02
Yes if Hamas were to release the hostages I'd expect there to be a ceasefire. Gaza is not really that historically important to the Jews,
October 17, 2024 at 17:32
Release the people who were stolen from Israel and Bibi will stop.

Looks like the IDF got Sinwar :fire: :fire: :fire: Lived like a rat, died like a rat.

You can say that you're a Hamas/Hezbollah supporter, it's ok. Sure, maybe you think sometimes (e.g on 10/7) they go a little over the top, but you're ...
October 15, 2024 at 23:10
Zero. There has been no cases where IDF soldiers and/or Israeli civilians went house to house murdering, raping, and torturing Palestinians in a manne...
October 15, 2024 at 22:01
Then why are they constantly flying Hamas and Hezbollah flags at protests and cosplaying as terrorists? Why are they chanting for the same goals as th...
October 15, 2024 at 16:32
Tell me about it. Never thought I'd see so many westerners out on the streets protesting in favor of totalitarian organizations that rule by hardline ...

UNIFIL needs to leave. Weren't they supposed to enforce resolution 1701? That clearly didn't happen and the IDF has found Hezbollah tunnels a few doze...

You can be an anti-Zionist Jew. The logical conclusion of anti-Zionism is the destruction of Israel. You cannot be "anti-Zionist, pro-Israel." And I'm...

Benkei, the Jews invented the idea. How can they be wrong about what it means? :chin:

October 11, 2024 at 15:39
:100: There's no comparing Gaza to slavery or a Nazi concentration camp. The question of the slave is interesting: There was the case of Nat Turner, a...

If someone IRL told me that they were "pro-Israel but anti-zionist" I would laugh. Zionism is why Israel is a state. It would make more sense to say "...
October 10, 2024 at 05:32
Did my discussion with @"ssu" fundamentally change your view of me? Really? And is there a certain type of pro-Israel Jew that you do respect?
October 09, 2024 at 21:23
Keep hand-wringing over Zionist "settler-colonialism" over a tiny sliver of land while ignoring or defending a rapidly growing 1400 year old religious...

If the IRA and Palestinians were comparable, that would mean the IRA seeks to conquer England and install rigid Catholic rule. It would state in their...

For the millionth time, Israel doesn't make the laws or grant the rights in Gaza or parts of the West Bank. Saying "Israel needs to give equal rights ...

Are partisans not a violent resistance group?

A vassal of the Seleucids up until the Maccabees revolted in ~160 BC leading to the creation of an independent Jewish state under the Hasmoneans from ...

Anti-Nazi partisan groups largely focused on weaking German military infrastructure, not going on rape & murder sprees of uninvolved German civilians....

Rome was the hegemon who controlled Judea & Samaria from the 1st century BC onwards. The land was previously ruled by Jewish powers. I don't see why t...
October 08, 2024 at 19:45
Tell that the Jews who fought the Romans in the 1st and 2nd centuries in order to re-establish an independent Jewish kingdom in the land of Israel. Is...
October 08, 2024 at 17:56
Zionism has long been understood as a decolonization movement. Both the Romans and Muslim powers were colonizers of Israel. Under Roman rule there wer...
October 08, 2024 at 16:05
It's interesting to compare. In any case, yes North America was colonized, but it also underwent large-scale decolonization. The idea of decolonizing ...

I love how in this metaphor the Islamic middle east is likened to an abused asshole. The greatest & most brutal settler-colonial project in history --...
October 07, 2024 at 19:08
Unfortunately Israel cannot negotiate with those who seek to indiscriminately murder its citizens and take its land in the name of Islam. There alread...

At first I agreed with this 100% and this is certainly the traditional view, but then I remembered the sudden rise in dogecoin's value which is the fu...

There's no apartheid. Nor do I think you know what a war crime is. Until you learn the facts about the two sides consider yourself ignored. :mask:
October 07, 2024 at 00:48
The fact that you mentioned the "apartheid" in Gaza means you simply don't understand the facts about this conflict. Nor does it matter that Jews can ...
October 06, 2024 at 23:53
No I just see a logic to certain practices where you don't. Or the parents could just be idiots. Or drug addicts. Not always so easy to pin down the r...

I don't agree with all the names on that list, but there were blacks who opposed the civil rights movement & supported racial segregation. Being a mem...
October 06, 2024 at 23:27
If you're allowing the children to be out late that's a sign of a high-trust society and the practice reflects that. I can't think of one.
October 06, 2024 at 23:23
I don't think I believe in this. Can you cite an example? Even very strange religious practices have a logic to them.
October 06, 2024 at 23:03
The intolerance won't go away, but it will help us understand it. I do find learning the logic behind it interesting -- it helps us understand things ...
October 06, 2024 at 22:44
Religions contain philosophy. I wouldn't describe them as philosophy. I agree that cultures can be wicked. But there is a logic behind it that can be ...
October 06, 2024 at 22:17
No, that's you reading and interpreting ideas. Culture is very real and it can really impact a person whether they "agree" to it or not. Culture to a ...

You're my favorite troll. :lol:
October 04, 2024 at 17:28
I would think that number of arrests is generally indicative of criminality unless you want to maintain that the police just hate palestine and are ar...

How about the many times that they stopped traffic here in the US? Is that considered peaceful? In the US we saw a wave of violence across college cam...
October 04, 2024 at 15:25
Yes, a hatred that is bent on the destruction of the world's only Jewish state and a reversion to the old order. I don't see how this is hard to under...
October 04, 2024 at 15:23
Anti-zionism is effectively anti-semitism. To oppose zionism is to oppose Jewish self-determination which, if realized, would render Jews, once again,...
October 04, 2024 at 11:13
If it's the occupation of Jerusalem they're mad about, they can stay mad. Israel has offered them half in several peace deals and it's been rejected. ...
October 03, 2024 at 23:16
We can support the poor, innocent Palestinian all we want and that starts with getting rid of Hamas and de-radicalizing the population. Not teaching t...
October 03, 2024 at 20:28
Israel doesn't even make the laws in Gaza, but why should that inconvenient fact matter to you? It's ideology that matters to you and you side with we...
