I’m sure it was by design

It's amazing that he has posted so much in this thread and doesn't realize this.

and I would go further than describing the settlements as merely consensus. they are integral to the Israeli Zionist project. Israel cant stop the settlements bc they are fundamental to their state. an Israel without settlements would no longer be Israel.

You logically think that a newspaper that’s allowed to broadcast on a national level , is freely and accurately representing the will of the people in Israel?

The newspapers are controlled by wealthy businessmen who answer to the government. Cmon bro


Plenty of Israeli publications are also speaking against the violence. Shows you’re wrong.

Victor is right that Israel has to control the Golan Heights and West Bank, or their lowland cities would be destroyed by above from Palestinian rockets. There is actually no real practical way to give up control of West Bank. Even if some theoretical Palestinian govt built a peaceful state, and 95% of the population bought in, the 5% would constantly be threatening and attacking Israel.

The Palestinian culture of support for mujihadeen fighting for the ummah really makes it an intractable problem.

brother, I am not just talking about newspapers.

also, "speaking out against" the gaza genocide has nothing to do with the settlements and expansion.

--Just a reminder that in November Victor's favorite Nazi's, the Houthis, took hostage 25 sailors (0 Israeli's) and have been holding them 4+ months with no imminent return. And Iran recently kidnapped 20 Filipino sailors of their own.

Just a reminder the value system of the people Israel, and the rest of the civilized world, is up against. Israel really is a shining light in a sea of Stone Age darkness.


--Oh yeah, look at a new set of laws Iraq just passed.

They're not ad hoc, they aren't "piling on". You can't argue the logic so you insult. No, there's not a 3 year limit on reporting, I never suggested anything like that............ I said the closer to the trauma happening the more likely a group is to find this kind of thinking reasonable. Is 3 years ago closer than your example of 180 years ago? When you see things from a neutral perspective, it's easier to be less judgmental about completely understandable reasoning.


A linguistic group whose most recent mass trauma you could come up with occurred 2 centuries ago taking over the entirety of Europe is no different from a far far far far far far smaller area of land being by given by the UN to waves of people who are fleeing the Holocaust 3 years after it occurred? I'm the one being asinine about this? Look at it from a neutral perspective and tell me these is no noticable difference in these examples.

I can think of a group whose mass trauma started after the holocaust and still occurs today.

but we all know why that group is disqualified by you. we all know why you dont even consider them an example. they arent real people to you. altho, tbf, as a typical liberal I dont think you even recognize humanity.

They aren't disqualified and I've defended their rights and their ideology (even some awful aspects of it) as defensible and understandable. Please quit spreading lies about me.
