I've already said I don't care if X is allowed to use some roads while Y is allowed to use others near checkpoints. No one is building roads in other ...
I have no idea what you're talking about. We're talking about the use of separate roads, right? Near checkpoints? To speed up the process? I said I wo...
Yes, Jews being ethnically cleansed from Arab lands and repeatedly subject to massacres in Palestine before the existence of Israel is utterly irrelev...
I honestly wouldn't mind if it were in Egypt or something and it was near a border and they just let the Egyptian citizens speed through quicker. It w...
Jews have lived in the region for thousands of years, continuously. Way, way before Israel. Jewish populations have been ethnically cleansed from Arab...
You're dropping the earlier discussion because you just don't know. You need to make an effort to learn the history of the demographics in that area b...
Which sector of the WB are you talking about? Or are you talking about all of it? Why does all of the WB necessarily belong to the Palestinians? What ...
take 2 seconds to understand the intricacies of japan's society and how difficult it is for non-japanese to understand and you might begin to learn. n...
when did i ever say this??? in any case if we started actually applying attention to muslim on muslim oppression the range of topics covered would be ...
nice, well i guess all i gotta do is get that full japanese citizenship and ill be 100% japanese and ready to succeed over there. it's all just a piec...
oh these people know who they are. they're just too far outside the overton window to productively engage, but occasionally we'll hurl insults at each...
I've never denied this. If we could press a button and eliminate ethnic histories there'd certainly be some not outlandish case for doing so, but in t...
For some people they'd rather have Jews perpetually at risk of massacre or death than to have their own homeland because that would be "racist." The v...
I don't know too much about those smaller massacres, you'll have to enlighten me on the history there. Where and when did these smaller massacres take...
Probably not, no, but why can't they go to Palestine? In hindsight its all clear the mess we're in but the 40s and 50s were different times and jews w...
Are you going to tell holocaust survivors in 1945 that they can't go to Israel? The one place where jews aspire to be ruled by other jews and not risk...
There was nothing to go back to. Virtually everything was destroyed or stolen. The European Jews had to seek lives elsewhere whether it was in the US,...
Yeah, under Judaka's ideas there would just be no Jewish people or Jewish identity. I've already been over this with Judaka and I don't feel like reha...
Every culture or ethnicity tells itself stories and through these stories or histories we come to understand ourselves and the other. Ethnic histories...
Yeah, that's cool. I was watching a youtube video today where they interviewed a bunch of asexual people and the majority of them said that they did n...
Our ethnic identities help ground us and allow us to relate to others better. Having an ethnic identity to a considerable extent makes us an authority...
Do you honestly dislike events where people talk about or present their own cultures? I can't imagine thinking that way. I love learning about where o...
Yeah, basically. These things do matter though: I don't think you'd like it very much if you had a disability that was repeatedly portrayed in books a...
It's a mix of both. Jews were similarly being expelled and dispossessed of their property in Arab lands. It was very difficult, heated, chaotic times....
There's a huge difference between one country just hating all minorities as opposed to just having an issue with one minority group in particular due ...
Do stereotypes or prejudices qualify as 'oppression' to you at all? You really don't think that a standard, like a beauty standard, for instance... ca...
I'm just going by the way that I've seen it used (generally by leftists) so I'm going along with that. The left does make a point though...is it fair ...
Just a quick aside, have you seen this sweet JBP mix? Anyhow, I'm broadly defining 'oppression' as injustice, but it could also just be anything that ...
a) Yes, I agree here. The Arab-Israeli issue is an ethno-religious problem and persists along ethno-religious lines. b) I would like to know who Israe...
Good call - I'm reading Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem right now and it's an amazing account on this phenomenon. She makes the point that these people...
Even the "weak" have responsibility and can be atrocious, sometimes even rivaling levels of the "strong" abusers -- Jewish policemen during WWII, for ...
What would you like to talk about in particular: The original birth of Israel (which the Arabs consider annexation)? The expansion of '48? '67? A curr...
Your analysis here is accurate. The problem stems from the Independence War of '47-'48 when David Ben-Gurion expelled some of the Arab communities in ...
Do you consider fighting oppression as something that's more about changing other people's attitudes, or do you see anything in yourself or your peers...
I think there's a strong case to be made that being low SMV or just being socially undesirable in general is a form of oppression by society (as well ...
Majors holidays that we'd lose off the top of my head if we abandoned ethnic history: Passover, Hanukkah, Sukkot, Purim. We'd also lose all the Jewish...
The problem is that the culture is derived from the ethnic history. Take away the ethnic history and the whole structure collapses. There is simply no...
Standards exclude certain types. Whether it's standards for a job, beauty standards, standards for a parent, for a student... all of these roles carry...
You can condemn cultural practices, but when you say You're asking millions of people to renounce a large part of their identities and how they unders...
would you deny the existence of a group such as, say, the han chinese? do uyghurs exist in your world? it doesn't matter because they exist in our wor...
The blockade and the checkpoints are for national security. I'm aware that this is every abuser's excuse, but let me ask you this: If people from nort...
It's actually a surprisingly big deal since humans have an unfortunate tendency to demonize others (the Jews know this all too well), and by singling ...
Why is oppression only about access to political and economic resources? What about the disabled? They get oppressed by people's preconceived attitude...
Is Israel the worst human rights abuser on the planet? Because thats the impression you'd get from the UN. Organizations like the UN need to be able t...
