They certainly aren't the ones directing Western foreign policy. Although it is interesting to note the Trump administration was probably the closest the US has gotten to this theory of mind. And it probably isn't an accident his administration seemed to relate much better with Russia and third world dictators than our Western allies.

Truly a sick, depraved individual.

Yeah because Jews have been historically persecuted and the victims of genocide. All about the context innit?

At least your taste in music doesn't suck

I was responding to your post asserting that Israel was in no way an ethnostate and now you're saying yeah, they are an ethnostate and that's fine. I'm not really criticizing either position, I'm just posting some reason and facts and you can't even follow your own argument.

I didn't assert any such thing, Luciom did. My point was that ethnostate seems to be used as a slur against Israel, the world's one Jewish state.

Israel isn’t an ethnostate.

Arguing that point is moronic.

I think you would be quite disappointed on where they stand on political issues

No no no no. This is you saying Israel is not an ethnostate. You are saying either they aren't or the term is meaningless. You, not Lucium, saying that. And now you're saying something different.

Their politics are laughably hypocritical, like all communist elitists, considering their financial status and capitalist tendencies. That said music wise, their tunes are pretty kickass.

The term is used as a slur against Israel. I don't regard it as an ethnostate due to the right to return, due to the context.

Israel is an ethnistate under normal (bad, wrong) definitions, such as using American race labels.

but if it is, then south Korea , ireland, Spain and mamy others are as well so no argument can exist denying Israel right to be an ethnostate unless it is used against all others as well with the same intensity and disgust and criticism

You do realize you’re making up propaganda. A child is defined by age in legal terms. Often we break that legal protection when the child does something society really doesn’t like. They are still children. They can be hostages and criminals. Commiting a crime doesn’t mean you are now supposed to go to some occupiers jail

Israel won’t let black/African Jews in while they let non religious but ethnically Jewish people

You’re just wrong. Feel free to argue against

A 16 year old stabbing people didn’t “do something society doesn’t like.” They’re a violent criminal. Sure as hell aren’t a hostage.

I’m wrong?? How many non Jews are citizens in Israel?? That’s all I really need answered.

There's discrimination of course, but not only did Israel allow Black/African Jews they went to Ethiopia and Sudan in the middle of a war and picked up 22 thousand of them.

no doubt they were less successful than you would've liked

I had never heard this, but just saw it when I went to get the link for Operation Solomon etc.

Israel paid Morocco per person for 97000 Jewish emigrees in 1961.

Wow, that's wildly dishonest even by Kelhus's standards.

Almost none of them have done anything wrong let alone stab anyone

Damn these Hamas supporters on campuses are injuring more folks than the Jan 6 th protesters.
Pretty sad

I don't want to give the impression that things were ok for Jews in ME countries at the time, but it is not true that Jews were universally expelled. Iraq initially forbade Jews from leaving (much like the USSR did until the 80s), Israel helped thousands of Jews leave and then when Iraq allowed emigration Israel did airlifts of 130000 Iraqi Jews from 1951-1952.

Kelhus may well have not known this. I didn't.

For the most part Jews wanted to leave other ME countries after Israel formed (Iran being the biggest exception) and Israel definitely wanted the Jewish immigration.

And I think that's all fine, and even noble, as long as the rights of other people aren't trampled.

It's a fascinating read.


As always, great work mods, letting a racist propagandist spread dogshit lies during the ongoing conflict in Palestine was a good call.

Lol

Look at these “kids” not doing anything
wrong viKKK.

Hardly anyone really reads anyone else's posts so it doesn't matter much one way or another, but for anyone actually reading it's been educational which is something that can happen because of free speech.
