And in a single breath you are blaming Palestinians. Interesting reflex. Nothing about Israeli behaviour that could change to bring safety and happine...

As I said, tiptoeing around it. No colleague frames this in terms of religion but safety and happiness where it concerns their own children.

I'm not sure what you're question is. If Gaza citizens have to suffer for the crimes of Hamas then its corollary would be true as well: Israelis shoul...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD2g6fzSYW4&ab_channel=LBC I just wanted to highlight this as an example of how a narrative is being build around evil...

I fixed it for you. Maybe stop it with the double standards. If Gaza civilians have to accept their fate because of the crimes of Hamas then certainly...

As I said hubris. I can't even be bothered to deconstruct all the implicit assumptions. Nation states? A dumb idea. Liberal democracy? Another dumb id...

I think the most likely outcome is permanent occupation by Israel of all or a substantial part of Gaza.

Aha, you mean a bigger massacre.

So you're saying it isn't already? 10,000 in the meantime right?

From your mouth to God's ears. Leave it to the Dems to fuck up a shoe in though...

Let's not pin that on the US alone. Almost all of Europe was in on it. We just like to wash our hands from it because on paper everybody is now equal....

Apparently there's nothing to get your base as excited as hatred for the other side. That's how Trump won the first time and now with bland 80-year Mr...

Yeah, that's a totally historically accurate description of what happened in south africa. :roll:

It's called boycotts, sanctions and divestments. It's not the first time it brought down an apartheid regime. But sure, you can go on pretending it's ...

That's bullshit. What stokes the flames is that there are no consequences for these thieves so they continue to do it.

Interesting detail to be aware of is that those Arabs were mostly expelled and the remainder fled. And since we usually don't reward thieves, the Isra...

It's only unrealistic for as long the West thinks an inherently racist basis for a nation is worth supporting.

Costa Rica hasn't had an army since 1949

Errr... Which president invaded Afghanistan and which president handed it back to the Taliban?

Any outcome in the US is a bad outcome. Some are just worse than others.

That endlosung has been openly talked about on social media in Israel for decades. You know the type of hate speech that lands you in jail in any othe...

Read again instead of misquoting the definition and asking dumb questions as a result.

Why don't you look up the definition of genocide as agreed in the general assembly and get back to me so you can all eat crow? Oh you know what, I'll ...

And what did that get them? Slower genocide I suppose.

Welcome and interesting first post. I'm aware of the passages in the Bible but wasn't aware of the likely/possible relation to the political struggles...

Dumb religions. In this case Christianity because a Jew betrayed Jesus. So Christians thought all Jews were evil sons of bitches and were excluded fro...

Whatever you say sweety.

I'm unfortunately not familiar enough with Jim Crow details to tell the difference so will have to trust your judgment in that. It could be that the r...

I'm sure the fantasy that a tribal society invented the nation-state well before it ever existed makes you feel smart because it gives you an excuse t...

Good question. I was drafting an extensive list but then realised B'Tselem wrote about it. Please check this out: https://www.btselem.org/publications...

They're not starting a party you can vote for just sending out what amounts to a commercial. It doesn't even amount to a slap in the face of Trump but...

He posted 22 minutes after your post that contains several links to videos, the main one being 26 minutes long. I'm pretty sure he didn't even watch i...

It's not a counter argument. I'm highlighting the arrogant and elitist way you speak about people that don't view the world in terms that you do.

"these people" is an expression separating yourself from them which makes you think in terms of "pushing back" against them. Do you want to push back ...

That post was a historic account, where I agreed with the principle that Jews (not Israel) were offered land to establish themselves due to the centur...

simple questions: how old is Judaism? How old are nation states? How old are passports as a means to enforce national borders? It's a subversion for p...

Your fellow citizens and possible neighbours.

We are now at the point where Israel implements Nazi policies in the occupied territories, South African style Apartheid in its own territories and sh...

A step back: do you agree Israel commits war crimes, is illegally occupying land, commits human rights violations or not? You can agree with the facts...

You're confusing anti-zionist positions with anti-semitic positions. Israel is an oppressor and occupier of land that doesn't belong to it and continu...

Before we can have a discussion on this, I need a clear condemnation from you of Israel's ongoing occupation, repeated war crimes, crimes against huma...

I'm not sure there's a specific one but this is one of my favourites setting out the case for a binational state while touching on many of the injusti...

I stopped caring about your opinion on this subject a while ago I'm afraid. But nice way of quoting out of context I suppose.

I see you have problems reading so I'll just stop it here and not waste my time.

You're acting like an idiot pretending this is about lgbtq rights or antisemitism while people are starving due to war crimes by Israel. As if we cann...

Maybe not the land but possible compensation if we can discover who benefitted from it. I'm not entirely convinced private property is the right legal...

Yes we can. Moral rights don't lapse. The reason legal claims expire, is because of economic reasons because the administrative burden and possibility...

:up:

Hence, certain flavours of Zionism (as pursued by Likud for instance) are racist. It's also pretty cool how being "Jewish" was subverted to something ...

Japan's attack was not honourable because there was no just cause - it was naked aggression. At the same time the fire bombings of Japan and the nucle...
