Dressed like that…wearing tight pants…she was asking for it.

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION!

Zionist plot!

If only the Germans had gotten the job done. And they would have if it had not been for the powerful Jews controlling everything!

Oh, hey Unseen. You got this.

I wonder if the combat will be above ground & under? House to house is bad enough. But going into tunnels that they’re waiting on ya? Can the IDF wait at the egress points? They gotta run out of food and water eventually. Or is there a gas that can be used to knock em out without harming hostages? If they go will they use flamethrowers like US v…[Read more]

Thanks Reg. Ultra horse shoes.

Davis volunteering like that is a trippy yet totally cool act. I had a gf who was almost killed in Sudan. And ya wanna talk bad lives? The aid was filtered through idk like war chiefs. It is funny how all over the world there are issues of aid not going to intended beneficiaries. Actually it is utterly consistent with civilization.

I have read…[Read more]

Unseen, it is not exactly argument from popularity but it is just as bad.

If the other side offers a more impressive list of advocates for a particular position have they won the debate? Or should each issue stand or fall on its merits. Additionally there is a tendency to be impressed by a person’s credentials in one are and assume they are an…[Read more]

Davis, from what i know and gather you are unusual. You do question your own assumptions and not simply adopt party lines and hackneyed narratives. You can be persuaded. You can change views based on evidence and arguments.

Ya don’t have to read Zinn to know about America’s sin. A Christian wave of invaders to a land populated already who took…[Read more]

Unseen,

You have told us how you play this game. I am not saying it is wrong. Apparently you think it is wrong. I was only curious if it changes your opinions. Legit question, no?

Giving a list of names of people who hold opinions you have adopted or share is an argument from popularity. Poisoning the well? Well we know who is responsible for that.

Here is an interesting conversation i encountered. Give it a listen. It even has some ideas in how to resolve the intractable.

Unseen, it is not easy to be reflective about oneself. But at some point in your endeavor to be controversial and stir up debate you keep reading tendentious trash to further your objective. Transgender issues, Russia/Ukraine and now Israel/Palestinians. (other issues to i assume) Do you find it alters your opinions? I bet it does.

Davis you have some typos so i am not sure of everything you are saying.

Here is what i am saying a nutshell.

Jews are only human yet held to a higher standard than all other humans. I am not excusing the government of Israel from any of its wrongdoing. The main problem from within Israel comes from Orthodox Jews. The problems between Israel…[Read more]

Robert is correct.

As i have said repeatedly nothing has fundamentally changed in the middle east. I will keep it simple right here. Both Palestinians and Jews had legit claims to a state. The Arabs reject ANY form of compromise. They have always wanted one state. An Arab state. The recommendation by the Peel commission to give Jews 20 percent of…[Read more]

Autumn i disagree.

Ever hear the warning about the stock market? Can’t remember the specific language but it is to the effect: past performances are not an assurance of future performance. Things happen for the first time. 78 years not a long span either. And we know it is just luck that the right people have been in right place to stop the…[Read more]

Yes to date the death toll is miniscule. That is why i said it is not fair to extrapolate the death rate.

It is not magical thinking. Obtain nukes. Use nukes.

Hamas infiltration into Israel attacking people with guard down at a public event is perhaps the new paradigm. Israel is a tiny tiny place and yet never even saw it coming in spite of…[Read more]

Autumn, i think you downplay the threat from Islamic terrorism. To this point it is in relation to civilization a minor risk. But i don’t think it is reasonable to extrapolate the threat of terrorism to Canadians, Americans and Europeans continuing at the same rate which is i assume somewhere in the neighborhood of being struck by lightening.

Now that i think about it…got an uncle whose Dad was from Sicily and clung to the goomba mafia cultural nonsense. Took DNA test and discovered he was like 6 percent Jewish and the rest from Greece.

I took a DNA test recently, not for my benefit but a relative who is reconstructing family tree. From my dad 50 percent Jewish. Not an iota of…[Read more]

Yeah the ones who call themselves Greek today probably have very little connection to Greeks of antiquity who were in Athens or other city states.

Robert writes”

I think most of the hatred is just because wherever they were, the Jews were a minority, didn’t really integrate for religious and cultural reasons and were just different. Plus, Christians and Muslims consider themselves to be more ethical for some reason.

I think that is part of it. Perhaps for a parallel to Jews see Gypsies. A…[Read more]

Enco, i have a memory of reading about Palestinians slaughtered in Jordan and a few other middle eastern countries. I guess that may explain in part what happened in Jordan.

I have been saying all along proof is in the pudding. The other Arab countries either do not like or do not care for the Palestinians. The reaction from these countries and…[Read more]
