I saw classical music was underrepresented so here's a crash course. Ludwig van Beethoven's Ode to Joy is a celebration of universal brotherhood, Enli...

He'll be back in 4 years.

Maybe read the Talmud again and what it says about theft. These principles are as old as dirt. It's progress, I suppose, you are comparing Israel to o...

I'm all in favour of letting natives settle and vote in the US. Oh wait. Already happening.

Yes, that's what you get if you steal. You have to give it back. It beggars belief you're arguing in favour of thieves keeping their spoils.

No it isn't. If being Jewish is based on religious law then insisting on a predominantly Jewish citizenry is religious.

No international lawyer worth his salt talks about war at all anymore due to the abuse of the term during the time of the League of Nations.

I've already answered this pages ago and how current Israeli blood has been diluted to such an extent that their claims to other areas in the world wo...

You should explain why people's rights cannot be exercised. This seems self-evident otherwise it's just the arbitrary exercise of power. I know the co...

I enjoy how quiet this thread had become.

So Palestinians have a right to return but you shouldn't do it because it would be difficult? I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Why would there ...

No international lawyer describes it as a war because these aren't groups within the same country, it's a group in an occupied territory and another g...

Seems rather important since you think it justifies not treating for peace, no? Since I quite obviously disagree and believe the right of return is a ...

rhymes with Trump.

How does the right of return result in the destruction of Israel? Walk me through it.

BTW, to clarify, when I said a war between equals I mean they should both be sovereign nations I don't expect any kind of equality in power.

But Hamas was amenable to peace. It's been Israel that refused to treat, every time. So one again you lie and use it as an excuse to not treat with th...

a civil war isn't just a war now is it? But this is also not a civil war because Palestinians aren't Israelis. Furthermore, most slave revolts and dec...

A war requires two sovereign nations. We have one country basically controlling all the land. It's not a war.

bark bark.

Nice decontextualised quoting there. Maybe read that post again and see what it's juxtaposed against. What is the Palestinian plight according to you?

I'm hardly dismissing it, I'm saying that it depends how it's framed. Invariably, we've only seen one type. Your tendency to share information without...

There's an inherent problem to both-sideism though when people think equal monks, equal hoods but they start forgetting its corollary: unequal monks. ...

no, you call for the destruction of only some oppressors. So you're just a hypocrite. I dare you to be consistent and voice the same about Israel if y...

Only a fool ignores what is right in front of him. My posts included a multitude of verifiable links. Good luck.

As I said, read this thread. But you've repeatedly shown zero interest into educating yourself about simple facts which is why I have zero interest in...

Maybe question yourself a bit more when you feel the need to lie to yourself to make yourself feel good for defending oppressors and murderers. You ne...

Never mind that this has not been the position of the PLO and hasn't been the position of Hamas for years. So what you're doing is lying, plain and si...

At the expense of an actual woman's choice. Very logical.

I seek for no law unlike you who's arguing for a prohibition unless local states rule otherwise. So no, it was a dumb archaic and backward ruling and ...

Naive and dumb reduction of my position on government. You seem to miss the point entirely your completely inconsistent. That's a consequence of your ...

Why do I need to travel to make decisions about my body? Funny how freedom all of a sudden isn't important to you anymore. Being pro-life isn't degene...

It's degenerate because it flows from an archaic worldview that is essentially illiberal. Nobody having an abortion has every hurt anybody. Someone ca...

Nobody was forcing people who didn't want an abortion to have one so in fact we don't need regulation but freedom. Which Roe vs. Wade offered but was ...

So the freedom to vote trumps the freedom to choose? Good we've got that cleared up. We can return to a lot of your previous positions and reassess th...

Historically the dumbest comment so far. Back when women were still chattel in Europe, they had family law giving rights to women to the estate. Maybe...

Not what I said. So either you can't read or your memory is a sieve.

Laws in place to protect weaker party from stronger party. Poster believes he's stronger party and unwilling to carry responsibility for consequences ...

I don't sympathise with any brutal regime, regardless of whatever dumb religion they believe in.

Says... A Jew whose people have their own apartheid country and still gets free bombs from its allies to commit war crimes. Islam is almost exclusivel...

Do what exactly?

Saves a lot of time. Here's my speech for whoever dies next: "Your life was like a vacuum cleaner. After sucking up shit all your life, you overheated...

Yes, you can rest assured only half of that original post is true. I don't read obituaries since I don't really care about dead people. They get too m...

No, I'm good with general directions. I was also considering killing every troll and politicians like Farage and other pond scum.

So death by starvation. I'm missing the humanitarian part... :wink:

Compliance, legal operations and legal design for the financial industry is what I give presentations about after having build a legal service desk fr...

There are no invisible tigers no, only invisible tiggers and throbbers. I'm very bourgeois indeed. Since nobody seems to get organised to resolve the ...

You never liked me so this admission is baffling. :kiss:

I've gone with your advice and told them 5k per half day needed for me to travel and prepare for a 1 hour presentation.

Does anyone have experience with public speaking and calculating fees for that? I'm being asked regularly lately and don't want to do it for free anym...
