Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion

333 readers

The sole purpose of this community is to discuss Israeli and Palestinian issues. It is not the place for hurling insults, rehashing grudges, or making up history. Any conversation that veers into the "if only your people had" realm will be deleted or locked right away. I started this community in the potentially fruitless hope that we may have a civil conversation about this issue.

Rules:

  1. References to historical events must include a reputable source. The definition of reputable is up to the mods. Keep that in mind.
  2. Articles from reputable sources only.
  3. No name-calling. That's what DMs are for. /s
  4. Keep it in English. If I don't understand the word, it gets removed. Obvious exceptions would be the use of proper names and references. For example, "wadi" when used to refer to a place is acceptable.
  5. Discussions that are heading into the probability of becoming a flame war will be locked.
  6. Repeat offenders will be forced to find another community.
  7. Anti-Zionism is ok. Anti-Semitism is not.
  8. Whataboutism is for toddlers. Try to grow up.
  9. Posting articles about current events is encouraged. Posting the same story from 20 different sources is not.
  10. Posting an article purely for the purpose of saying "Look what monsters they are" is discouraged unless it can generate an honest discussion. This is probably the most difficult rule to follow.
  11. No calling anyone a terrorist.
  12. No YouTube links. Some of us can read.

Nobody except someone who’s either a Zionist defending the weapons shipments or extremely pessimistic would make such a wild claim in good faith.

Bolded the part you apparently didn't read.

I've seen you do it in every Palestine thread.

First of all, no. That's simply not true.

Secondly, even if it was, the people who disagree with my pro-Palestine views will tend to be arguing for Israel being in the right, which naturally leads to a higher concentration of Zionists than elsewhere.

You might as well complain about how I sometimes call people who call Biden "the best president ever" neoliberals. Because they are.

Those links were from 3 seconds of googling

So it's ok to base your entire argument on irrelevant and/or misleading data if you found it fast? 🙄

(which is more you've ever done since your dad jizzed inside your mother)

Hardy har har. That's some Faux News level shit in both factuality and funniness 🤦

because numbers & figures are irrelevant

To how much of a stockpile the IDF has? Wtf are you smoking? Do you think arms capabilities are independent of reality? Come to think of it yeah, it very much sounds like you do.

And yea, when I say "you people" I mean cum buckets

What happened to never calling people names, Professor Aboveitall? 🙄

to grandstand on social media for brownie virtue points.

Yeah, there's no point in grandstanding for likes this many comments in. Everyone else will have long since lost interest in our bickering.

The only reason I'm still wasting my time on your nonsense is an unfortunate combination of stubbornness and poor impulse control. What's YOUR excuse?

You can bold whatever you want, but you still felt the need to throw the label in --as is the way shown by our sanctified fathers of the left at ml. The options it seems are either pessimist or Zionist. God forbid anyone else question the sacred texts of the oppressed. We shall not stray from the path. Now go back to gobbling up that Hamas cum. Gobble gobble slurp. :P

As one of two possible reasons why anyone would ever make a claim that stupid, except for pure trolling.

The options it seems are either  pessimist  or Zionist.

For making that SPECIFIC ridiculous claim, yes. There's simply no logic behind making such a claim if you're neither.

God forbid anyone else question the sacred texts of the oppressed.

Fuck off with that strawman bullshit. It was about your SPECIFIC claim from the start. Nobody ever demanded lockstep agreement like you're implying.

Now go back to gobbling up that Hamas cum

Yeah because that's a totally normal thing to say to someone who's never uttered an approving word about Hamas 🙄

Whether or not you're a Zionist, you're sure as hell using some of their favorite arguments to deflect criticism
