Totally agree. We've learned from the same man a good deal. And others too, including women of course. Since he's living in the country, I try to redu...

Well, you live there. It's a small country. If Hamas is planning to fight, what, they should all line up in the beach, so they could be killed and Gaz...

As a response to what happened in the Al-Aqsa mosque. X is stealing food, electricity and water from Y. Preventing food and aid from coming in is akin...

Ok. Let me try to simplify this, see if we get somewhere. If somebody, X, comes up to you and steals your wallet or hits you that's an assault. I thin...

We don't understand how we move a finger. We just move it. So if you now go "up" to things as complicated as emotions and music, our understanding is ...

Just watched a good interview with Gideon Levy live. I'll put a link here once it's available.

That's why we're here and not some other place, to ask questions and argue about stuff! :cool: I think we use words such as "soul", "spirit" and the l...

No rebuttal? :joke: Sure thing. Hope you find a satisfying answer.

I simply meant to say that whatever spirit is, falls under the category of mind. Spirit is another aspect of what we broadly consider the mental. And ...

A question in the lyrics of a song. :cool:

No need to read it actually. Only thing required is curiosity and/or interest. ;)

I'm done with you, you're not speaking in good faith. Go argue your Zionist lunacies with someone else.
May 16, 2021 at 10:26
We are talking about today, which is what matters. After the 70's it's impossible for Israel to be destroyed. Nor would the US or the EU ever allow it...
May 16, 2021 at 10:23
What you think that Israel as last resort for not giving up land they are stealing should start WWIII!?!? There are literally no words to describe suc...
May 16, 2021 at 10:22
It does not. Repeating this claim does not make it true. There is no existential threat for Israel. Did I say this? On the other hand, killing people ...

Has anyone destroyed your whole neighborhood, limited your caloric intake and prevent you from leaving an open air prison?
May 16, 2021 at 10:15
Which is a case in point of supreme lunacy. Total insanity and evil.
May 16, 2021 at 10:14
Israel need psychiatric treatment. This is paranoia on steroids.
May 16, 2021 at 10:13
I recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization which is a flea against the massive terror organization that is the IDF. Hamas cannot destroy Israel. If...
May 16, 2021 at 10:11
Yeah, sure. I don't like nation-states either. But that's what exists. So by your logic, Israel asking other countries to recognize that it has "a rig...
May 16, 2021 at 10:05
Yes I agree with the bold part. As for the rest, total lunacy and paranoia. Israel has nukes and the US as an ally. Any country that seriously attacks...

Now that they're there, yes. Palestine one race? Short term I suppose. I don't think it is feasible in the long term. But now, short term planning is ...
May 16, 2021 at 09:45
They made a big show of it. Embarrassing really. As if the settlers were going to be placed in refugee camps in Israel. :roll: They didn't belong in G...
May 16, 2021 at 09:42
This is false. Hamas has no control over the territory. No control on the blockade. They don't even have the control of being able to leave Gaza. Isra...
May 16, 2021 at 09:21
:up: Yes you're right. It's mostly a way of talking about how people are trapped in an open air prison and being massacred. All while going through Co...
May 16, 2021 at 08:53
Finkelstein and Amira Hass look at this stuff with utmost care. The Israeli media seems to accept it as a fact. This all point to your suspicion being...
May 15, 2021 at 23:36
And human shields too. Israel needs a strong left. They don't have one and this can only lead to more monstrosities. Amira Hass, Ilan Pappe and Gideon...
May 15, 2021 at 22:49
Damn. I don't know how'd I'd live after something like that. No words.
May 15, 2021 at 22:41
Yeah sure, being killed is trivially, not good. Within the possible reasons for why one could be killed, there's some room for honor, altruism and the...

I haven't looked into Israeli domestic policy in some time. I too was under the impression that Netanyahu's rival recently, Benny Ganzt (?), was more ...

Yes. If we're still around by that time... And I heard Finkelstein mention that the remaining option are to the right and to the far right of Netanyah...
May 15, 2021 at 15:27
Well, I think the line usually given for attacks such as this one would be something like "We destroyed the enemies communication center." Or the clas...

Have they bombed any UN schools yet? Can't say I'm surprised but its awful.

Wow. Such statements send chills down my spine. Horrifying.
