Israel could disassemble its bomb shelters and anti-missile infrastructure so the kill counts would be more even, would you like that? It could also s...

When you use that term it shows me that you have a complete inability to emphasize with Jewish victims of terrorism and don't ever, ever pretend other...

You're a ridiculous person.

You'd have to be out of your mind to compare the IRA to Palestinian terror: From a magazine piece: Unlike Islamic radicalism, Irish nationalism has al...

Over 1300 Israeli civilians were killed by Palestinian terror attacks in the past 20 years. Thousands more injured. The IRA does not indiscriminately ...

I've said on multiple occasions that the Israeli-Palestinian struggle is just not comparable to the one between the UK and the IRA. To the best of my ...

Ok ya got me we exchanged a couple sentences almost 2 weeks ago where all I really did was clarify my position. I know next to nothing about what you ...

I wasn't responding to you because I had like 5 other people talking to me. Count it as a conversation if I respond to you. And everyone who supports ...

I'd ask you what your stance on is on violence but I've had enough conversations with you to know that you basically just support violence against eve...

when were we arguing? This is the first time we've talked in this thread.

Maybe try to be less personally offended given I have no idea who you are, and consider my question a reflection of the current atmosphere.

Do you support attacks on jewish/zionist communities in the US? If attacks on Israelis are ok, why not these attacks?

For the most part, the IRA did not intentionally target civilians or strive to maximize civilian casualties. Hamas does, and in doing so effectively l...

They're Jewish and they're also brown people. I've stated earlier than Hamas is not the IRA and that these two organizations are not morally comparabl...

Have you ever been to Israel? If you have then you'd know that most Israelis aren't white. Palestinians and Israelis are virtually indistinguishable f...

We can bring in Fatah, we can bring in Al-Aqsa martyrs brigade, we can bring in Black September, we can bring in whoever you like. I only mention Hama...

You can certainly conceive of different moral systems, and you can follow systems like utilitarianism which will likely be in tune with common moral i...

Ok, so you're telling me that the IRA did not go out of its way to maximize civilian casualties. Something tells me that if they did, the British publ...

I'm gonna have to keep it brief today because I have been inundated with responses and I just can't get to everything. In any case, I'm fine with this...

What is so confusing? All I was saying was that we should not frame the conflict like X. Some posters do frame things as X. I do not. I don't know wha...

You can play your little "gotcha" games with me that no one else understands, I don't care, but maybe keep in mind that there's another poster here wh...

You're not furthering the conversation and I'm not going to respond until you lay out, clearly, exactly what you're saying.

What are you talking about? I said 180 frames reality like this and he doesn't even try to hide it.

I strongly reject all framings like this, and I'm aware that there are Israelis - like there are Arabs - who take this framing of the conflict. It's n...

The Nazis loved to describe themselves as victims and frame reality as an intractable struggle between groups you would fit right in.

You're a waste of time, 180. You exist for no other reason than to foment conflict and pit brother against brother. That's your ideology - constant wa...

A few things to consider that aren't highly publicized: -Hamas kills its own civilians when its own rockets misfire or someone aims poorly. I know of ...

You fail to understand the difference between the intentional murder of innocents, say, putting a knife through a stranger's back because of his ethni...

Yes, there are real victims on both sides. What do you mean "even if these victims' circumstances were also caused by the victims themselves?" I agree...

100%. We must reject this type of error/framing of the conflict.

Killing innocent people is not what is pertinent here. Was FDR a war criminal for bombing Germany and Japan and killing innocents? Israel actually tak...

If I were to take a step back and view Israel as just another state I could say that Israel is using Gaza and the WB as a bargaining chips. It has sho...

Agreed. I'm against any further aggression from here as long as Hamas stops as well. Would you wish Joe Biden dead if he were to do something similar?...

First sentence - Yes, Israel is extremely important to the Jewish people and the country will defend itself to its last breath. Second sentence - I ag...

Yes, Russia was an aggressor in WWII - my example was only in regard to the Eastern front fighting against the Germans. I completely agree with your a...

1. Which Israeli government? Netanyahu? Olmert? Sharon? Who are you blaming exactly? 2. So what happens then if we want to go back to '48 borders? Wha...

I literally brought this topic up like 2 pages ago and he accused me of spreading lies and refused to condemn hamas.

just so you know you're talking with an actual genocide apologist who refuses to condemn the genocide of Palestinian LGBTQ by Hamas among other crimes...

Even in the Warsaw ghetto the Judenrat would have been responsible had they turned on their own LGBTQ population. Being a victim doesn't absolve one o...

You have a very strange view of blame. If your boss is mean to you at work and you go home and kick your dog is it your boss' fault? Even if he was re...

For everything that's happening? Including Hamas persecuting LGBTQ? That is Israel's fault? When Hamas executes its own civilians for gay sex that is ...

You're impressing me today: Just today you've both condemned the Soviet Union and you've condemned Hamas for their treatment of LGBTQ -- and done so s...

See these are the conversations you don't want to have. You're shutting down conversation here. Now who's the quiet one? You call me the one who's ign...

Speaking of genocide apology, since Hamas openly executes and persecutes LGBTQ wouldn't this qualify as genocide for you? And that by that I mean Hama...

that was the conversation that ssu and I were having before you decided to jump in and criticize me for not talking about a different subject.

Streetlight, all we're talking about WW2 here. This is the scope of the conversation - nothing past it. That is all ssu and I were talking about - "wh...

The reason that the military campaign into Germany wasn't an act of aggression was because the Germans were the ones who initiated aggression and the ...

I'm not asking about whether Soviet control of East Berlin was good; I'm asking whether we can conclude that the Soviets were the aggressors in WW2 be...

Was the Soviet Union the aggressor after the pushing back the Germans on the Eastern front? Poland fell under their control. So did Berlin. Do we desc...

Israel struck first because the Egyptians closed the strait of Tiran to Israeli shipping and then began mobilizing on the border after kicking out UNE...
