Still shrugging off the intentional murder, kidnapping and rape of innocents because they happened to be born Israeli as "resistance against Israel" w...

Blame Hamas for militarizing schools, homes and hospitals and endangering their population. There was no need for destruction to be this widespread, b...

Antisemitism has once again become normalized; Jews are seen as the oppressors by 2/3 in Gen Z and 1 in 5 in Gen Z believe the holocaust to be a myth....

I encourage you to read Judge Sebutide's view. https://www.icj-cij.org/node/203449 "During the oral proceedings in the present case, it was brought to...

Some might call it western paternalism to liken the palestinians (or Hamas) to children or dogs.
January 27, 2024 at 14:56
I understand that you're making an analogy. In your analogies, you repeatedly metaphorize Palestinians are dogs and/or children while Israel is metaph...
January 26, 2024 at 23:49
It's become apparent to me that the palestinians could do anything -- any number of beheadings, rapes, murders, tortures, paying the families of those...
January 25, 2024 at 16:33
I've noticed that you repeatedly liken palestinians to dogs or children. Given this is the case, how can one believe that they're ready of self-rule? ...
January 25, 2024 at 16:19
Hamas is the de facto government of Gaza and were voted in democratically. If elections were held in the WB, Hamas would win. I want to believe that H...
January 23, 2024 at 16:47
Who is the leader of your race/religion? Who do I go to if I need to speak to, e.g., the leader of the black people? Take me to your leader so you can...
January 21, 2024 at 16:32
According to wikipedia Palestine is a state. If so, it is a state that Israel is at war with. It is a state that claims all of the West Bank and East ...
January 20, 2024 at 00:15
It makes no sense to me how the Palestinians, a group which only gains its identity in the 1960s, just magically have a right to the entire west bank....
January 19, 2024 at 19:44
I don't know whether states can have rights, but there has been a continual Jewish presence in the WB since antiquity which ought to live under Jewish...
January 19, 2024 at 18:13
"Occupied territories" is itself a misnomer. It implies the palestinians are entitled to 100% of the west bank which is a ridiculous idea. Is it non-J...

Judaism is an ethnicity... it's an ethno-religion. It accepts converts but does not actively seek them out. There are many different sects. Would be A...
January 19, 2024 at 15:12
Personally I'd have a hard time living by a "master morality" that values noble birth, physical strength/size... if you have a disability in that soci...
January 19, 2024 at 03:25
Judaism is both a religion and a people, but not a race. One can't convert to a race, but one can convert to Judaism. Who speaks for black people? Who...

The vast majority of world Jewry did not vote for Netanyahu. There is a dangerous phenomenon emerging where Jews across the world are being targeted s...
January 18, 2024 at 20:13
My point was directed to Punshhh who stated that Netanyahu represents the Jewish people.
January 18, 2024 at 19:49
Israel has a diversity of parties in its Parliament and has Arab muslims represented on its judiciary as well. Israel has a considerable minority arab...
January 18, 2024 at 19:34
Which assertion in particular? Judaism is also a religion with various sects/denominations. Within those sects/denominations there is leadership/autho...
January 18, 2024 at 19:27
Who represents the Protestants? Or the Muslims? Does the President of Iran represent the Shia and are all Shias answerable for his actions?
January 18, 2024 at 18:01
I very much consider Hamas as the actual government of Gaza. If it's not Hamas, who is it? Haniyeh may not be head of a state, but he is head of a gov...
January 18, 2024 at 03:38
There are innocent Palestinians and there are guilty Palestinians. Some legitimate targets of war, others not. Israel does not indiscriminately target...
January 18, 2024 at 03:18
Netanyahu does not represent the Jewish people. He is the prime minister of a state, not a religious authority.
January 18, 2024 at 01:07
Everyone has built on top of everyone else because buildings become dilapidated and lands change hands whether through sales or conquering. Israel pre...

And those Arab towns are built on Jewish ruins.
January 17, 2024 at 18:54
wym by this? Arab culture or Islam? Do you see Israel banning falafel, tzatziki and hummus or Arab architecture? Or will zionist imperialists readily ...
January 17, 2024 at 18:44
Just trying to understand your position. Israel could have killed 1200 hamas and stopped but hamas has promised to continuously repeat 10/7 so we'd ju...
January 17, 2024 at 17:39
:up: A good bulk of the Hebrew Bible is written and *nearly* completed in this period. We see the spread and transformation of monotheism in this peri...
January 16, 2024 at 17:48
Just to be clear, Jews do believe in heaven/a good afterlife for the righteous. When Jesus says the righteous will be rewarded and the wicked punished...
January 16, 2024 at 16:14
So, like, kill 1200 Hamas?
January 14, 2024 at 22:43
Jesus cannot sin if he is God. His disciples can sin because they are fully human and 0% God. For us/his disciples/his audience there is definitely si...
January 14, 2024 at 04:39
Jesus believed in commandments... if one sought eternal life (Matthew 19:16–30; Mark 10:17–31; Luke 18:18–30). Commandments like "thou shall not murde...

I'm getting tired. If you were the leader of Israel or America or any given country, and a horde of barbaric criminals crossed into your border to mur...

Not Iraq, Afghanistan. Invading/striking afghanistan was the immediate response to 9/11, Iraq came 2 years later - and was completely uninvolved in 9/...
January 12, 2024 at 02:54
How do you want Israel to respond when 1200 of its own are murdered by a terrorist group? Consider that the US went to war after 9/11. I don't see any...
January 12, 2024 at 02:43
So what? Israel is limited to inflicting 1200 deaths on Hamas/Palestine but the US isn't when it's attacked?
January 12, 2024 at 02:09
Why is only Israel bound by proportionality? Your position isn't consistent.
January 12, 2024 at 01:37
...So proportionality applies only to Israel and not the US in 1941? Why do you apply this principle so selectively? Hamas aims to eliminate Israel/Je...
January 12, 2024 at 01:19
23,000 includes Hamas dead. 2400 Americans died in Pearl Harbor. Yet we invaded and went on to kill hundreds of thousands if not a million or so Japan...
January 12, 2024 at 00:59
So does Israel get to kill 1200 palestinians then and rape some palestinian women? would that be fair? or does it mean Israel gets to kill 1200 hamas ...
January 12, 2024 at 00:26
Look at how the war was actually fought as opposed to self-declared or implied intentions. The US often wouldn't even take prisoners in the pacific. G...

I was not calling for ethnic cleansing. My position was in response to Tzeentch's logic that the indigenous population always has the right to resist ...
January 09, 2024 at 01:29
Delusion is too strong a word. It's no matter to me whether one believes in God. The Bible traces the inextricable connection the Jews have to Israel ...
January 06, 2024 at 05:54
Are we not allowed to question Islam here? I'd say you hold similar prejudices towards Judaism. Judaism is not a morality of hate. I know this is a po...
January 06, 2024 at 02:40
If we're going with your statement that then it's a question of who is the occupier/colonizer and Jewish kingdoms were there well before the arrival o...
January 04, 2024 at 16:03
Yes, but at the center of Christianity you have Jesus while at the center of Islam you have Muhammad, a successful warlord with a child bride. Jesus s...
