Unsortierte Gedanken: Die Männer, die das Massenverbrechen am Samstag begangen oder es bejubelt, angefeuert haben, waren nicht „verzweifelt“. Es entlud sich nicht der Hass von Unterdrückten gegen ihre vermeintlichen Unterdrücker, sondern offen zur Schau gestellter und… (1/n)

@xBro7x @USkolebuss @motihari1903go Sinnlose Diskussion, aber ich versuche es noch einmal: Selbst 83% zivile Opfer belegen keinen Genozid, wenn man einfach übergeht, wie hoch der Anteil der Kombattanten an der Gesamtbevölkerung ist. Die nackten Zahlen zeigen das komplette Gegenteil von „indiscriminate targeting“.

[David Markus Rutsche @dm_rutsche]

@xBro7x @USkolebuss @motihari1903go Etwa jedes dritte bis vierte Todesopfer hat Kombattantenstatus, obwohl deren Anteil an der Gesamtbevölkerung kaum mehr als zwei Prozent beträgt. Damit fällt dieser absurde Vorwurf schon völlig in sich zusammen.

@ParanoidPol If you have time for the Negev: Timna, Mamshit, and/or Shivta National Parks. Going to be warm though.

Excellent take on Heidegger‘s life by Bob Brandom, from his current graduate seminar.

@Mblaz39 The price is a bit steep, unfortunately (at least for the institutionally unaffiliated), but otherwise it looks great! I remember listening in on the conference during the pandemic, lots of great speakers and discussions.

[David Markus Rutsche @dm_rutsche]

@Left_Hegelian I think where it breaks down is in the fact that AI lacks recognitive attitudes about us in the way that we may have them about it. It doesn’t itself participate in our practices of subject-making, and with no reciprocity, there can be at best the appearance of normative status.

[David Markus Rutsche @dm_rutsche]

@PhiloCasey @CreatorJamesF From my understanding, yes that’s right. He has that curious line somewhere in the Grundlegung saying that the moral law „needs not be taught, only clarified“ (aufgeklärt).

[David Markus Rutsche @dm_rutsche]

@CreatorJamesF @PhiloCasey Not to be *that guy* but he specifically does not teach that. The „Golden rule“ is, as he puts it, a hypothetical imperative („if you want x, then do y“) whereas the very point of the moral law is that it holds categorically, i.e. irrespectively of what you might want or not.

I am both British and Israeli.

I love both Britain and Israel with a passion.

And that's why it drives me bananas to see Labour pick a pointless fight with Israel, using a housing project on the outskirts of Jerusalem as the prelude for a diplomatic war to placate its woke/Islamist base.

Open a map, Ed. E1 is a tiny sliver of land connecting Jerusalem - Israel's capital city, which we are not going to divide - from Ma'ale Adumim, a town of 40,000 people. In no universe is that bridge ever becoming part of a Palestinian state, and in any case, it obviously does not bisect the West Bank (if you insist on using the colonial name for the territory).

And read the room. The October 7 taught Israelis it would be suicidal to create a Palestinian state in the mountains surrounding Jerusalem and overlooking Tel Aviv. 20 years of Hamas rocket fire from Gaza killed the two-state delusion. The massacre buried it. You can't just pretend that never happened, as if Israel wasn't invaded by a barbarian army from territory it gave the Palestinians in the hope of peace.

Britain stood back and watched the destruction of the two-state delusion when Hamas fired rockets at Israel for nearly twenty years from the Gaza Strip, and it failed to give Israelis a single good reason why that wouldn't happen from Judea and Samaria too. It stood back and watched when it pressured Israel to leave Hamas standing, teaching Israelis that if they ever came under fire from Judea and Samaria too, the international community would not stand by its right to self-defence. It would continue to sanctimoniously lecture us as we fight for our lives, alone.

You want a global influence? Help us end the Palestinians' century-long war against any Jewish state. Stop your terror financing for UNRWA, which took part in the October 7 Massacre. Because steps like this only encourage and embolden the extremists.

But it's clear the die is cast. After recognizing a non-existent Palestinian state in response to the October 7 Massacre, a step Hamas praised as a "fruit" of the massacre, Labour has decided to take an axe to relations with its second-biggest defence supplier.

Why would you jeopardize that?

Ah yes, the mobs on your street baying, "From the River to the Sea!" Grow a spine and stand up to them.

Der prozentuale Anteil unterernährter Kinder in Gaza ist so niedrig wie in Deutschland. Der Genozid ist folglich ein Propagandamärchen.
