    “Not all jewish people are Israelis so it would be anti-semitic to start hating random jews over this. It’s correlation not causation.”

    “Yes, that makes sense and is fair. However, I can say that Israel as a country is being pretty fucking awful and since they’re separate things then I should be able to criticise one while leaving the other out of it.”

    “No, now you’re being anti-semitic.”

    It’s like, pick one.

      Never believe that Zionists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The Zionists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

      Amazing how it’s still 100% accurate

      That’s a hot take, I’m interested to see how that works out for you.

      I always debate with myself whether it’s worthwhile to weigh in on these things because no matter what opinion you have there’s a group of very opinionated people who will disagree with you, despite not being involved in the conflict and having no personal stake in the outcome.

      All I’ll say on the matter is: are we not passed the point of killing eachother for land/resources? No? Alright then.

      Wow you are missing a lot of history, over a dozen civilizations had that land before the Palestinians. Why does it not belong to them?

      Lot of mental gymnastic there. The ottoman no longer rule the land. Israel is the current occupier of palestinians. Palestinians are decendent of the cananites and was arabized they are not colonizers like you claim
