Re: War in the Middle East, again
This tells me there's something in the logic of Zionism as it's been implemented in the real world which leads to expansion of settlements. That's the point I think Torco has been trying to make in his last half-dozen or so posts. Exactly! stipulating a definition that excludes bad things and then ...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
I don't get it... so we should not speak of colonialism in britain because most british people were (say, at the time of queen victoria) colonialists? it doesn't make sense to speak of nazism in 38 germany cause most germans were nazis? the dominant ideology of the dominant actor in a process matter...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
There's probably more agreement than disagreement in this thread... however, insisting on viewing 150 years of Jewish/Palestinian history through the lens of Netanyahuism is not just unhelpful, but rather ugly. I agree that it is, but from what I can see Netanyahuism is not a tangential concern her...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
I think that the zionist's answer would be something like "but of course we need Israel to be a jewish, supremacist ethnostate for jews: (though they won't use those words, cause they're yay/boo words, but still) if muslims/arabs/palestinians/whatever had political equality then Israel would be...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
That comparison is leaving out huge parts of history, like, for instance the Jews were actually being oppressed and mass-murdered. so? if the germans had been oppressed and mass murdered, would they have been right in WW2? the hutu had indeed been genuinely oppressed, does that make 94 not a genoci...

Re: Do you think it will ever be possible to go back in time?
Can't we just chalk it up to random chance? Well, what do you mean by ‘random’, exactly? The known laws of physics suggest that the randomness that exists in nature should be symmetric, and thus should result in equal amounts of matter and antimatter. sure, but at some scales that same randomness m...

Re: Do you think it will ever be possible to go back in time?
speaking of particle physics... isn't the matter-antimatter imbalance weird? if when we look at the past and see mostly matter matter, then maybe all the anti matter is in the future?

Re: Do you think it will ever be possible to go back in time?
ever is a long time. I'd say not a thousand years, though, which may as well be the same.

Re: War in the Middle East, again
I wish the solution to global antisemitism was as simple as "give the Jews a nation-state", but it really isn't. Without the support of the USA, would Israel even still exist? And if that's the case, then for Jews to be safe in Israel they have to be safe in the USA as well. An antisemiti...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
Yeah, I agree that antizionism *has* antisemites in it. it'd be kinda weird if it didn't, though, would it? but it's a lot more than one expects: it's like half the anti-israel posts I see sport a fair amount of "mustache man was right" or sth. On Israel being ultimately "colonial&quo...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
But what is going on on the other side is not resistance to an oppressor: it's fundamentalists/fascist groups (Hamas, Hezbollah) and local authoritarian states (Qatar, Iran) making power plays. those are not contradictory, though: if you're a country with enemies, you support militant resistence mo...

Re: Venting thread
targeting chocolate ads to people a day after they register their spouse's passing seems profitable. With this API, I can yield an automated daily report of recent widowers to our advertising agency, so promote me. Interesting idea, but I think I'll pass, sorry :) If that's the alternative, I'd rat...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
i mean... it's right there, in their laws: the right of self-determination in israel is unique to the jewish people... non-jewish people, therefore, do not have it. settlement is a nationa value. only jews get to "return", not non-jews, with detailed laws and guidelines establishing who qu...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
This assumes people from Gaza have much of a choice in how the war is fought, or that only Palestinians are involved. The problem is, what terms would satisfy Hamas? Is Iran interested in anything but adding fuel to the fire? It goes without saying that none of this excuses Israel's doings in Gaza,...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
ethnonationalisms have always been a rather "fuck you got mine" kind of deal: this here place? it's for us jews (or whites or whatever). you get your own place... or don't and get rekt.

I don't know how realistic this is (I'm guessing not very much) but that's certainly well-thought out.
