The only ones cashing Trump checks are E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, and Israel.

@AgnesCallard Kind of like the distinction between parent and abuser, or step dad and victim of faculty sexual misconduct.

@TheBravoDerm @olivertraldi A practicing dermatologist pointing out balding as a way to infer some deficiency? Gotta say, that’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for ‘em!

@ChrisAlvino So after four years of Covid it's Biden's fault that you and your family continue to be grotesquely obese and unhealthy, making you more likely to be afflicted with complications we've known about since the very beginning. Got it.

If you liberals really cared about Gaza and the Palestinians, you wouldn't hide your protests on college campuses where you can be protected by the weakness of liberal administrators. Protest at Israel's embassy, a military base or manufacturer, wusses.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

Are the "dead" people here representing the dead of innocent Israelis killed by Gazan terrorists or are they the dead terrorist-supporting Gazans killed while being used as human shields?

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

Paradox of intolerance = paradox of genocide, where, yes, genocide is permissible -- required, even! -- in response to those who actively seek genocide. Supporting Hamas is supporting the genocide of Jews; the world has the ethical obligation to destroy those who support Hamas.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

Israel doesn't indiscriminately kill civilian Palestinians. They're killing terrorists who use civilians (and hospitals) as body shields. If the Gazans didn't allow a terrorist group to control them, they wouldn't find themselves between Islamic Jihadists and Israel missiles.

Tomorrow, MPs will be voting on the call for a ceasefire in Gaza. It is a simple moral choice: do you support the indiscriminate killing of human beings, or do you want to stop the further loss of life?

In the aftermath of horror, we need voices for peace and diplomacy. Instead, our government has given the green light to unconscionable death and destruction.

I condemn the targeting of all civilian life. That includes the deplorable acts of terror by Hamas against Israeli civilians. And that includes acts of terror by the Israeli government against Palestinian civilians. More than 11,000 people in Gaza have been killed, almost half of whom are children.

Without a peaceful and political solution, this cycle of violence will go on and on, and it is the responsibility of members of Parliament to demand an end to the ongoing loss of life. We cannot become distracted from our overriding goal: to bring about freedom, justice and peace for all Palestinians and Israelis.

With every passing minute that the bombing continues, another human being is killed. This must end, now.

I will vote for a ceasefire tomorrow, and I will continue to demand the release of hostages, an end to the siege of Gaza, and an end to the occupation of Palestine. I urge colleagues to do the same.

Leftist professional philosopher not understanding that commitments to Gazan Palestinians means supporting terrorists, anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry, capital punishment for crimes against Islam, *and* codified antisemitism. Choose more wisely.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

Comments like this are why it's necessary that Israel raze Gaza and take it as their own.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

Unsurprised at my fellow liberals who are willing to cut their nose off to spite their face by supporting illiberal terrorists who killed thousands of innocents in Israel as part of Hamas' failed attempt at a genocide of Jews. Hope they enjoy another failed Trump presidency.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

If you want a cease fire, you should first implore the terrorist organization who kidnapped people to give them all back, not implore the victims of terror to stop defending themselves from the terrorists who have never given two shits about civilian casualties.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

The best thing for all would be for Israel to raze Gaza and build it as their own. Let the Palestinians flee to whatever country will take them. The audacity of philosophers defending terrorists and people who elect terrorists continues to amaze me.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

And that *is* the crux. *That* equality isn't one in which transwomen compete with biological women, which is *unequal* to biological women. To advantage one is to oppress another. Liberal women have given way to trad masculine tactics by the trans lobby. It's time to wake up.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

There *is* a reasonable debate to be had, but it's been commandeered by extremists on both sides: liberals who prefer to yell "TERF!" instead of engaging with even moderate, non-transphobic views, and conservative transphobes who call trans folks groomers.

[philosoburner @philosoburner]

You've shut down reasonable debate and mischaracterized reasonable views and reasonable people. And you won't win. And when you lose, you'll lose doubly, because those who you claim to protect will lose even more than had you engaged with moderates who could've secured equality.
