You find the basic laws of israel to be racist. the basic laws set out the very idea, the very concept of the state. they define its purpose and basic...
Just to be clear here, you're saying that the mere existence of a Jewish state constitutes oppression and discrimination. In any case, if Jews were to...
You're missing the point. You cited the basic laws of Israel earlier, which undeniably establish Israel's identity as a Jewish state. It's not vague a...
Well, I'm happy to hear that you're applying the same standards across ethnic groups. From how I see it, whether it's the armenians, the kurds, or the...
There is no collective white identity. It's funny you choose white here.... what about black? Asian? How about Kurdish or Armenian? If kurdistan or ar...
This is pretty in line with what I find too. To OP: At the end of the day, ideas matter. You can't just choose to "not do" philosophy because it's una...
Good analytic philosophy is like a laser beam: Precise, clear, but very narrow. Continental philosophy tends to be broader and a little more abstruse....
I'm fully aware that the UN has condemned Israel on quite a few occasions. In 2016, there were more resolutions against Israel than the rest of the en...
Only a bad faith actor would argue that the Palestinians are completely innocent. Of course both sides have committed wrongdoings and if someone is go...
Were your ancestors/family involved in this conflict? That's the key question here. I have a hard time understand why any neutral third party would be...
This particular incident was caused by lies spread by the mufti of jerusalem. I don't really care that internal arab politics likely played a role, bu...
I get a little tripped up when you mention "social context of white identity." I understand the whole social context part, trust me, but when you ment...
David, most of those arabs were killed by the british, not by any sort of significant jewish security apparatus. there was no battle here, no struggle...
I'd say that they do. Philosophers serve on ethics boards. These boards guide what can or cannot happen within, say, medicine. Over time most of the w...
if it's not a pogram or a massacre then would you mind enlightening me as to what it actually was when hundreds of arabs murdered jews in their living...
oh thanks, yeah got it, it was zionism that was the cause behind those families being murdered with blunt objects in their homes around dinner time. y...
The victims of the 1929 Hebron massacre would like a word with you. Hundreds of arabs walked down a residential street with knives and tools and went ...
I understand where you're coming from here. However, if you were to apply this type of thinking within a disability rights perspective the conclusion ...
The Deir Yassin Massacre was roundly condemned by the Haganah (precursor to the IDF) as well as Jewish political authorities at the time. Political au...
I've been following this discussion and I'm basically in agreement with you. I just approach the topic from the disability side as opposed to the raci...
I like what you have to say here, and I do this issue of free enterprise trying to outmaneuver the state is extremely pertinent to our times and is go...
Now I need to know the actual topic because we've all this discussion about it and nothing really concrete about the actual details. Fields like epist...
I'm not an epistemologist here... just throwing out my 2 cents here so someone can crush it and I can go back to the drawing board. The boring wittgen...
Pretty much this exactly, and as you've mentioned when wealthy people face issues of substance abuse or trauma it's just a different case. I grew up d...
i dont have time to fully respond now but i'll respond later. no, my point wasn't "oh the arabs treat jews like this therefore it's ok." the point i'm...
Just curious, do you think Jews were treated as equals in pre-1948 Palestine? Were they safe? Are Israel's neighbors Jewish populations treated as equ...
I don't really feel like continuing this argument with you because I don't know what the purpose of it is. I am just curious where you heard the "chos...
Hey ssu, I just want to point out before I really respond that I don't consider us in a "debate" here. A debate implies that we're both fixed in oppos...
Yes, he was brilliant! I believe he was a student of Anscombe who is one of my personal favorites. Scruton was an absolute force to be reckoned with t...
Israel has widespread anti-discrimination legislation. Of course there are problems, but so does every other country. You're using an anti-semitic tro...
I don't even know why you're engaging me; are you seriously trying to change my mind or are you just looking to exchange insults? If you're going to p...
I really shouldn't respond to this since you display no understanding on what Zionism actually is. It has nothing to do with race. Jews aren't a race....
Thank you for the history lesson complete with pictures. It was really tragic what happened with Rabin. For the sake of our discussion, I've mostly be...
This is a very good explanation. In public discourse we're also looking for definite answers and you really can't get too abstract; both of these thin...
Yes, Eisenhower. Consistently ranked in the top 10 Presidents by both parties. I see a capable President as just a President who is capable of achievi...
We're talking about Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. Israel funds anti-Iranian regime groups and Iran funds anti-Israel groups. If Iran were to withdra...
Well, I was kind of drunk when I wrote it (I am more drunk now.) I take issue with the notion of indirect responsibility though because it seems to be...
It might not make sense to you. The Israelis still have reason to be worried because it threatens their entire existence. Israel has had several wars ...
I've never called him a terrorist. I understand what you're saying here. Let me ask you though: From a moral standpoint, do you think Soleimani deserv...
Could you tell me the last time Bush or Trump used machine guns on hundreds of peaceful protesters protesting the government? That happened last month...
You realize most Iranians do not like Soleimani? Head over to r/iran if you don't believe me. I literally haven't heard anyone sympathize with him the...
Do American generals also murder and imprison their own people when they protest? This happened by the hundreds maybe a month or two ago. I feel like ...
There's a billion reasons for this. Historically, Jews were excluded from many professions but one of the professions that they were allowed to do was...
