If you think Hamas isn't genuinely interested in peace then you are simply clueless about the politics. Just because everybody calls Hamas a terrorist...
The 1967 war was complex because it is based on a pre-emptive form of self-defence that was previously not recognised as valid. But I don't think this...
Maybe. I've disagreed often with him but I think we're usually cordial to each other. Not sure I was everywhere in this thread but he's been so. This ...
1. Except for the hickup that was Rabin, more or less all of them? I'll concede I'm not intimately familiar with every government of Israel, especiall...
The worst crime is how Zionism, as an idea of the Jewish people returning to their original homeland, which was in itself a beautiful thing, has warpe...
If the Russians had annexed land like Israel has done through its settler policy and had politicians in power actively claiming the goal is to annex t...
Occupation and settlement/annexation are two different things. The military campaign into Germany wasn't an act of aggression, because they withdrew a...
That would be stupid considering Hamas currently has a much more pragmatic leadership than before, willing to discuss 1967 borders - and possibly less...
That Israel has offered the Palestinians a State in the past is disingenuous. If you look at those proposals, it requires Palestinians to cede land th...
Without international law, the Israelis wouldn't have a right to self-determination or any need to respect their borders. So let's go with that in whi...
At least he's honest. I'd rather have a Jewish Israeli like that than the two-faced bullshit where they pretend to want peace (I'm looking at Likud fo...
@"BitconnectCarlos" I'm wondering, what part of the facts we're not in agreement about, aside from the conclusions we derive from them. So here's a li...
My God the number of fallacies is just staggering for one post. One, you're equivocating Palestinians in Gaza with Hamas and confusing them with Pales...
This is a silly thing to say or you don't realise what this factually means. Palestinians do not control access to clean water, electricity or gas, ca...
There's many things in the world I don't want to happen and they still happen. It quite obviously doesn't follow from the fact that Arabs didn't want ...
Nahum Goldmann: “o use the Holocaust as an excuse for the bombing of Lebanon, as Menachem Begin does, is a kind of ‘Hillul Hashem’ , a banalization of...
things we can do : fund J Street. I think that's the shortest way to policy change in the US. With a bit of luck, Republicans will split in two partie...
So admittedly the bombings are of no strategic value but only meant to punish people living in Gaza, as if the brutal oppression wasn't punishment eno...
tu quoque fallacy mate. And you do this every time. As if it's a good look for Israel to be compared to autocratic Middle Eastern regimes just to look...
This is not true! There's a huge difference in how Israeli citizens with the Jewish nationality are treated and those without the Jewish nationality. ...
No, I'm just accusing you of committing fallacies. That last one is just another one. If all you can do is offer red herrings or poison the well, just...
do you want to start charity dick measuring? Or maybe, how much people can we influence? What's the point of your comment except for being a twat? I m...
One, I didn't call you stupid, I said your comment was unless it was made in bad faith. Second, I also never called you a moron but since you identify...
I care strongly because I care about fairness, justice and human rights. I'm originally a human rights lawyer after all. There's no Jewish Homeland de...
It's not genocide because it's not going quickly enough to your liking, or what? How fast should the destruction of Palestinian society go exactly bef...
Let's weep for personal tragedy to obfuscate the slow genocide of an entire people. Sorry. Not playing. I can empathise with the personal tragedy but ...
Violence against oppression isn't evil. I'm not cancelling anything out. Sorry. And the conclusion that if there's no way out and they should just rol...
If you only look at the results and don't look at causes, both parties will look equally guilty. That's why people keep repeating "each civilian casua...
I think the main problem is that some people think there's a moral equivalence between the violence of Palestinians and Israel. That requires you to d...
There's no secret handshake mate. You're just being an ass. Begin gets elected after the atrocities were committed. Obviously he was more "moderate" a...
Wiki is not a good source for most things political. I advice an actual history book or comments from people living at the time. The writing was on th...
