@KweenInYellow If your entire worldview hinges on deliberately failing to understand what other people are saying, that’s a pretty sad situation you’ve found yourself in.
@nolightupstairs Again, for the upteenth time, it’s not just observing the causal chain that got Hasan in hot water. It’s him saying the onus is on American Jews, that if THEY keep doing, violence against them is the result. That’s about as threatening as public discourse can get.
@cassetteisgod@KweenInYellow@hutchinson Truly amazing the mind of a person who can’t hold two thoughts at the same time. It’s not exactly unthinkable to express fondness of, say, 17th century German music while fighting the Nazi regime, let alone while living in the US during the 40s.
@doctor_rahmeh The liturgical claims are just wrong. Blessing 10 asks God to sound the shofar and gather the exiles. 11 asks for the restoration of judges. 14 asks for the rebuilding of Jerusalem. None of the three mentions Palestine, Palestinians, or any population to be displaced.
@Bandistranger@ClippingWings I wouldn’t call reaching all the way back decades for a dated insult “low effort.”
But, good to hear, your commitment to your cause is “meh, not if I have to make any sudden movements.” Inspiring.
@Bandistranger@ClippingWings Strange, you didn’t reply to my initial three responses, only ones where you got to talk about talking instead of just…talk.
Also, nerd? What is this, 2004?
@Bandistranger@ClippingWings You tell me. You said you’re *only* talk to me to respond to my questions, and then proceeded to keep talking to me without addressing a single point I raised. So the better question is why are *you* still here.
@Bandistranger@ClippingWings "It's ethnonationalism" proves too much. Ireland, Armenia, Greece, Japan and others have ethnic/religious criteria in citizenship or national self-definition. If this delegitimizes a state, the argument sweeps in dozens of countries. Good luck unwinding all of them 3/3
@Bandistranger@ClippingWings Israel did displace half a million Palestinians. That was immoral, as were the other contemporaneous displacements happening in Poland, in India/Pakistan, and in a dozen or so Arab countries that expunged or diminished their Jewish communities. Uti possidetis governs here. 2/3
