excellent. Glad to know there's something we agree on! :up:

No idea.

I find it a bit weird though that the first association with an argument for divestment and boycott of a certain country because of human rights abuse...

Yeah, I'm a total Nazi. You got me.

Why would it raise suspicion? Generally the lancet is a good peer review journal and I think for laymen to trust it is a reasonable heuristic.

"Yeah, but Fatah and Hamas torture their prisoners too and it's even worse, they do it to their own people, so there."

I shared proof right there and so did Streetlight about how Israel treats activists (and that's not going into their administrative detentions in gene...

Except it does and regularly too. https://theintercept.com/2021/05/24/israeli-police-round-palestinian-protesters-global-attention-fades/ Try the Hong...

What's funny is how everybody has such problems with basic reading comprehension. I said in response to your umpteenth tu quoque: So as an example of ...

Every time you say something that's false on this topic, I'll reply. There's no obligation on you to do the same.

Israel doesn't recognise the right to a Palestinian State. No Palestinian group denies the existence of "Israel" as an entity or group of people they ...

I think for most of us it appears as a normalisation and so there's less to say that is particular to Biden. Biden rocks less boats than his predecess...

Apart from surprise, what do you think was worthwhile to mention in the past 11 weeks?

Plenty of people, including in this thread, don't see a fundamental problem with how the Palestinians are treated and will go to untold lengths defend...

define oppose. I think we still can't know but the possibility of the lab escape certainly has gone up, compared to a year ago when most people were t...

I'm not implying anything. I'm telling you it's there. Go on, read them.

Which is still irrelevant but you're welcome to use the search function and read my 4,500 posts. I'm not going to do it for you. I'll be here waiting ...

I'm not going to divulge my identity you twat. The reason to respond to my claims is because this is a public board, we have a subject, and I make tes...

ah, you're not capable of reading. Got ya.

Because it's irrelevant and I won't be offering such evidence. Maybe my human rights activism is very extensive, that won't make my arguments suddenly...

Yes, people do tend to whip out their crystal balls as an excuse not to work towards peace. Those are trust issues and it should be moved to where it ...

says the guy who came in here and couldn't answer a simple question after 4 attempts. So, right back at ya.

Yeah, it's comments like this that disqualify you. It's funny how you like to pretend to be impartial though.

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/hamas-2017-document-of-general-principles-and-policies No, I call people stupid from a position of being actually...

This is false. Hamas rejects Israel because recognising it recognises the existence of territory belonging to that State. It believes the territory Is...

Here's a two-state solution and how to get there: 1. Israel to unilaterally recognise a right for the Palestinians to have a sovereign state where the...

I'm not comparing Israel and Palestine to children, I'm comparing your moral thinking to that of a six year old.

Little man. You're welcome to offer other or additional facts and submit proof why the facts I've shared are false. Until then you have nothing but pa...

And Israel's aggression is not blatant because you're under the impression you didn't start it? So as long as I don't throw the first punch I'm in the...

your point was moot from the beginning. I've submitted several reports to support my arguments and the facts I've mentioned. All you have "but do you ...

They're pretty useless yes. And before jumping to conclusions, you still have no fucking clue who I know and don't know in the region and whether I've...

Not what I said was it? You think understanding the Jewish narrative, which I've already quite clearly demonstrated I know when we discussed Buber and...

Ah, we've denigrated to the point where anecdotal evidence trumps research. Wonderful. I've linked to B'Tselem, HRW, Amnesty and UN reports instead of...

While we're at it, let's empathise with the Nazis. How terribly humiliated they were after WWI, their economy in shambles and then you explain to me h...

What's disingenuous is people bringing up my character, my ethnicity, the country I live in and who I know. When I point out that that's irrelevant it...

Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Since I've not offered anecdotal evidence, it's once again irrelevant!

Why are you angry again? The facts on the ground can be read about if you take the time and interest to study it. Which I have done. Instead of learni...

No, they're ethnicities and racism is a social construct, which is why discrimination of ethnicities is called racism, just like blacks are an ethnici...

Were the quotes correct or not? Is Israel guilty of collective punishment?

Of course we'll have that because our position is the correct one. As happened with South Africa. Once everyone agreed it was a racist, Apartheid stat...

Also, this is quite telling. You assume my goal is to bash one side and think arguments and facts are "ammo". Seems a rather belligerent attitude. Arg...

There is no solution to be had if both sides don't agree on the facts. You need to be talking about the same thing. That's an important issue here too...

My point is that it's always irrelevant not just because we're on a philosophy forum. That's like dismissing Putin's argument that a land-grab is ille...

No, this is not true from purely a philosophical standpoint, this is simple logic. My personal background is irrelevant to the argument forwarded. It ...

Sigh. Even if it was an accurate personal attack it is still irrelevant. You complain about standards but aren't even capable of constructing an argum...

Should any country have good relationships with that kleptocracy?

A couple of years ago when I was working at the ministry of finance, there was a reasonable likelihood a right wing racist party would supply the mini...

What are those things on their chests? It looks like really low grade implants?

Nothing to add, I see, but an attempt at character assassination. Pathetic.

Which comment has zero bearing on the veracity of the claims quoted. But nice attempt at poisoning the well. It's always nice to see so little is offe...
