One of the related issues i have been thinking about is tackled by Sam Harris in the vid that follows. So i am thinking either you are a run of the mill Jew hater and or you have been persuaded by the far left that Israel is Satan and is actually an apartheid, colonialist, genocidal nightmare to such an outstanding degree that…

The image is confusing. This is a two-parter and the first half is germane to this topic if the video’s “thumbnail” isn’t.

Someone didn’t give these punks the memo that the criticism is not meant against (((the Jews))):

I’m not claiming there’s no antisemitism in the world. Duh!

Criticizing the Israeli government’s genocidal tendencies in Gaza is humanism, not antisemitism.

@ Enco

How long has this order to kill been public? The only mentions of it I’ve been able to find are considerably less than a week old, like 2,3, or 4 days. Also, 34,000 at least already killed in Gaza. Has even one person been killed in this instance? How many dead so far?

It seems kind of soon and quite a bit less urgent to be decrying the…[Read more]

It does not count unless Jews are seen as the transgressors.

I believe the Gaza genocide is the most intense one going on right now. And most of the criticism I see is directed at Israel’s government, not “the Jews.”

Water supply will be a problem. Demand will rise by a minimum of 8% over the next few years and climate change will also have an impact on its supply.

@ Robert

I am not an enemy of Israel. Nor am I a buddy to Hamas. But Hamas is one of the effects the creation of Israel has had on the world. Ditto for 9/11. And the chain of events that has us going through an elaborate process to get on a plane traces back to the creation of Israel and of course before that to the Holocaust and Hitler, and…[Read more]

I am done responding.

How schoolboyish! That’s the response of someone who has no coherent response.

Nope. Just a statement of fact about all the Israel-haters and the Hamas they love.

When it comes to Israel, “I hate the sin, not the sinner.” I don’t blame Israel for existing but rather for their behavior toward the Palestinians. I don’t love Hamas, but I do understand the causality behind its existence. I’m a…[Read more]

@ PopeBeanie

Yes, I saw that one the other day and almost posted it myself.

This voice teacher/reactor calls her reaction “emotional”, and I don’t think she’s faking it. She started with TW from third grade level and jumped right to a post-grad level in under 20 minutes. (That’s my lame metaphor.) Maybe it was too much, too quick, but I like when reactors unexpectedly tear up.

If Gaza had the power instead of Israel it would be an actual genocide. An actual genocide.

It’s actually being called out by reputable sources as a genocide. An actual genocide.

People trapped in Gaza largely lack shelter, sufficient supplies of food, and potable water. As a consequence, malnutrition and communicable diseases…[Read more]

Sanders is pandering to his lefty supporters. Whether the Jew hating left ideology has completely wasted his mind i can’t say. There are Jews for Jesus too. Obviously in a vacuum criticism of any government is not racist.

Unseen, Both with his anti-Israel and his pro-Socialist worldviews, Bernie thinks that the alligator will never get to him. Same likewise with the Orthodoxers, Jewish Voice for Peace, “The Squad,” and Queers For Palestine.

They can be masochistic and suicidal if they want, but don’t drag anybody else along for the ride.…
