Because Israel has freedom of press and everyone is able to speak as they like. Unlike in virtually any Arab country including the Gaza or the West Ba...

There is no apartheid. Arab muslims who are Israeli have equal rights. Every Israeli has equal rights. No one is owed citizenship. The charges are spu...

Well there's the Polish resistance and the Jewish resistance and these are different matters. I believe in the Jewish resistance they mostly kept thei...

Attacking buildings that Hamas operates from is not a crime against humanity. Did Polish resistance fighters parachute into German musical festivals a...

I could claim that Palestinian SS abducted that shepherd boy. I could say that Palestinian SS murder Israeli settlers. Every single Hamas rocket fired...

@"ENOAH" take note that this is how discussions devolve.
April 21, 2024 at 14:06
I had a response typed out to last post but upon reading this I realized it didn't really matter what I said bc propaganda has convinced you that isra...

I'm looking over Netanyahu's postwars plans and I don't see anything about ridding Gaza of Palestinian Arabs. I do see a strong Israeli security prese...
April 21, 2024 at 13:12
Of course it's not grounds for congratulations per se. I only mention it with regard to the genocide charge. The civilian to combatant ratio is quite ...
April 20, 2024 at 21:48
Not much reasoning to be done with the modern day brownshirts. I remember 9/11 when ~3k Americans died and there was no question we were going after a...
April 20, 2024 at 20:34
Shouldn't you be outside chanting "from the river to the sea" with your fellow protestors? Calling for Arab domination of Israel like your keffiyeh-cl...

Have you considered converting to Islam? I hear they're very welcoming and they've got an imam giving prayers at Columbia right now.
April 19, 2024 at 21:00
Are you concerned about the rise of Islamophobia?
April 19, 2024 at 19:32
Are you concerned about the rise of anti-semitism on college campuses?
April 19, 2024 at 18:07
It goes from myths to legends to real history and it's not always clear where the line is. That's what fascinates me. Consider the message/big picture...
April 19, 2024 at 16:48
The Gaza Health ministry now reports fatalities at 22k. Israel has killed 13k Hamas, so that brings us to 9k civilians. Then consider that Hamas's roc...
April 19, 2024 at 13:43
Modern day blood libel. Mass starvation? Seriously? :lol: Israel has let in more aid than those idiots at the UN know what to do with. Doesn't it both...
April 19, 2024 at 13:16
"From the river to the sea" is itself a call for ethnic cleansing. A call for a return to dhimmi status. Parents of Columbia students may be questioni...
April 19, 2024 at 12:20
Exactly how I feel about the American left turning out en masse on college campuses to support genocidal murderers. Protestors chanting "we are all ha...
April 19, 2024 at 12:08
The quote I posted was existentialism. Man creates his own values. I thought a comparison of belief systems might be fruitful to the discussion. I sou...
April 19, 2024 at 10:40
You don't view intention as morally relevant. :roll: :lol:
April 18, 2024 at 22:25
Is my quote representative of your beliefs or not? I'd figure it is. You're an atheistic materialist. No? The universe has no real meaning/value save ...
April 18, 2024 at 21:17
You're an atheist who doesn't believe in anything. Reminds me of a quote. "Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves; go into oblivio...

Is the man allowed to sign the document to order the deportation process given the reasonable assumption that it would happen regardless of his signat...
April 18, 2024 at 14:26
Regardless of whether we call Palestinians "indigenous" or not -- and I've heard all types of theories e.g. that many of them descend from workers imp...
April 18, 2024 at 13:30
I don't see how the particular individual matters much. Historically, he would be a community leader. Do you understand the scenario?
April 18, 2024 at 12:56
Tbh I mentally checked out when I read Judaism is "fucking dumb." I get it, you think all the religions of the world are "fucking dumb" except, appare...
April 18, 2024 at 12:41
All true. But what of self-sacrifice in an instance where, according to the social reality, it would seem completely futile? Consider the Judenrat in ...
April 18, 2024 at 02:04
Perhaps, but then I don't think we have Christianity given Paul's role in spreading it. I wasn't raised Christian so I don't have that baggage. I unde...
April 17, 2024 at 16:22
After the attack I figure Israel must respond in some way to save face even if its orchestrated. Yet Israel did not respond militarily within a day or...
April 17, 2024 at 15:46
Whatever it is that you or your ancestors believed in, I want you to know that it's fucking dumb and it's clearly devolved from what it was. Let me ex...
April 17, 2024 at 14:28
I hate the 72 virgins crowd as much as anyone, but sometimes one must be willing to lay down one's life especially against totalitarian systems which ...
April 17, 2024 at 12:04
I also do not agree with everything that Paul says nor do I believe his word should be taken as absolute truth. That's Jewish tradition. Paul has alwa...
April 16, 2024 at 20:32
Nor would it fly in Jewish circles. I'll hear this song and think to myself "no way." Paul is right when he says all have sinned. But Judaism doesn't ...
April 16, 2024 at 19:44
However, as recent events have demonstrated, the entire Arab world is not Israel's enemy. Jordan and the Saudis evidently are not fans of the Iranian ...
April 16, 2024 at 19:36
And try converting out of it. A Jew who believes Jesus is divine is a heretical Jew. You don't lose your Judaism by accepting Jesus you just invoke th...
April 16, 2024 at 12:34
You don't believe that one's conscience could lead one to, for instance, retrieve an escaped slave or euthanize something or someone hastily (or not e...
April 16, 2024 at 01:26
I honestly do believe people's consciences can lead them very astray (or to very different places morally). Today in the US we had many people openly ...
April 16, 2024 at 01:13
I make no claims about the existence of an afterlife. I simply state a belief in one tends to lead to heroism and martyrdom, while a conviction in the...
April 15, 2024 at 22:48
Several of the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials claimed to be motivated by their conscience. They saw what they were doing as best for the fate of their ...
April 15, 2024 at 18:37
Not due to religious claims. It's due to history. The Arab muslims built their buildings on the ruins of Jewish civilization. Jews are the older strat...
April 15, 2024 at 13:22
If the shoe were on the other foot, and Arab muslim armies were prevailing over Israel, I would expect Israel to fight to the last man. Israel would q...
April 15, 2024 at 12:38
Which can also lead to great heroism, such as with Maximilian Kolbe. If we knew, for certain, that this life is all there is why not just be epicurean...
April 15, 2024 at 01:47
I'm not offended, and we can call them what you like, but the unfortunate fact is the majority of Palestinians -- according to polls -- are sympatheti...
April 15, 2024 at 01:41
Thanks! So I guess with recent events you're on team Iran/Hezbollah/Hamas now? Anything to beat Israel. Way to go! :rofl:
April 14, 2024 at 16:39
I can guarantee I know history in this region better than you. Jews are indigenous, thus zionism - jewish self-determination -- is decolonization from...
April 14, 2024 at 16:33
Jews are indigenous to the region. You would know this if you knew the history of the region before 1948. But none of this apparently matters because ...
April 14, 2024 at 16:27
Israel will help settle disputes involving families who were displaced in previous wars. Many Jewish families lost their homes in 1948 and Arabs took ...
April 14, 2024 at 14:53
Yes I will mourn when a 14 year old Jewish Israeli shepherd boy is abducted and stoned to death by knuckle draggers. And again one cannot colonise the...
