@ProfDBernstein @modadGeoP If you asked a Chabad shaliach to sit down with you and study Tanya, he would almost certainly be enthusiastic, and you would learn about what the Alter Rebbe wrote about nefesh habehamit and nefesh elokit. Chabad takes Tanya very seriously.
@academic_la@afalkhatib Why do you think Israel should avoid attacking Hamas leaders when it can? There are some possible reasons for avoiding attacking them, what is the reason you would give?
@Aella_Girl And then he should be required to pay punitive child support and forbidden from seeing his kid if the woman later decides that's what she wants?
@EVKontorovich@RepBrianMast@RepMikeLawler@BradSherman Israel doesn't claim to be the successor state of the British Mandate.

@ForCognition@robinhanson The point of the article is the reaction to claims of different atrocities. The accuracy of the claims is not necessary to the point of the article. In any case, you do a great job of illustrating that when you bemoan the sullying of the reputation of Hamas rapists.
@shulgasser@EPoe187 The problem isn't that it justifies unequal treatment (which, as you say, it doesn't), but that lack of knowledge leads to the assumption that historical and present-day racism is the only possible explanation, and that leads to bad policies (based on incorrect assumptions).
