What bothers me is that all of a sudden a lot of people are waking up to the current atrocities while not realising this is just part of the overarchi...

He could have a selection simply at home, for instance. I don't know why in my head there had to be such a convoluted reason for introducing the figur...

I find the whole court case fucking dumb and would throw it out for being frivolous. It's longstanding legal fact in every constitutional democracy th...

It will be global climate catastrophy in a couple of decades.
February 05, 2024 at 11:56
This is entirely true and which is why a staggered approach is necessary. What's particularly troublesome is, is that neither party can be trusted (th...
February 05, 2024 at 11:54
This is totally true it just doesn't excuse certain behaviour on both sides. And while one side gets all the support, it's cover for the worst atrocit...

Biden doesn't bring anything to the table except "not Trump". But yes, 84 is too fucking old. You call that age discrimination, the rest of us call it...

Pretty pathetic Biden is the best they can do.

They could settle anywhere but in the occupied territories and they know it. It's wilful with the aim to make living conditions for Palestinians impos...

Since when do we care what criminals think? Carte blanche to shoot them on sight.
February 03, 2024 at 13:31
Funny how curiousity is then followed by a straw man as if your interlocutors are this stupid. Nobody has suggested returning occupied territories apa...

1964 was the US surgeon general's report. I worked on the public awareness research for the tobacco industry during my studies as a part time paralega...

Funny how you keep insisting on that interpretation. What does that say about you? Edit: edited your comment after my reply. Also classy.
February 02, 2024 at 06:15
Still making excuses for the inexcusable and victim blaming at the same time. Classy.
February 02, 2024 at 05:35
Try over a 100 years. And really even before that it was known but tobacco companies were already peddling propaganda at the time. There were plenty o...

You're just biased and the guardian is a leftist rag.
February 01, 2024 at 22:06
This has been my point for nearly a decade because of what Likud stands for and Herut before that. This is just accelerating due to the 7 October atta...

Why wait for history? I already do.

This first part has nothing to do with antisemitism and it's simply true if we ignore the convenient conflation nobody here has busied.
January 29, 2024 at 17:26
Immigrants don't have rights but we have all committed to allowing refugees to gain asylum. So I think we should be ignoring refugees here because the...
January 28, 2024 at 21:07
Which I haven't. That's entirely your interpretation. It seems you still don't understand what an analogy is. But please continue focusing on what you...

That's because "security" is the fig leaf for illegal land grab. It's not a failure, it's the defining feature of their policies.
January 27, 2024 at 07:12
Because an oppressor is not a victim.

Guilt by association fallacy.
January 26, 2024 at 21:14
I have no interest in discussing this with you other than pointing out the obvious that once again is a stupid post.
January 26, 2024 at 17:53
You fail to understand this court case is also about international opinion. The plausability assessment by the court will affect the political positio...
January 26, 2024 at 16:40
Just finished listening. The ruling is relatively weak. Most of the things the court told Israel to do, they are already supposed to do under the Geno...

That's not how criminal law works though. So I see no reason it would here. Unless you mean "reaponsible" as something else as layman's version of "gu...
January 26, 2024 at 06:40
That's an unjustified appeal to moral equivalence that ignores context. These actors are not operating in a vacuum.
January 26, 2024 at 05:46
Once again: understand what an analogy is. Everybody understands beating a dog just makes it aggressive; this is no different than people. Why abused ...
January 25, 2024 at 17:25
Except I've done no such thing so the rest of your post is idiotic. Maybe figure out what an analogy is.
January 25, 2024 at 16:27
Except I'm not. As I've stated before I don't condone all their methods. But nuance is difficult. The point is, why don't you demand Israel to deradic...

It seems about right to you because you're dumb. There has been plenty of discussion about war and annexation of land in this thread, which is the cri...
January 23, 2024 at 05:44
You have a performative answer to your question with Wayfarer and NOS4A2 answering you and both missing the point. Well done!
January 22, 2024 at 21:50
Winning isn't about who's right or who is fair. Your arguments are irrelevant for the other side and they have their own problems with what "your" sid...
