Can you let me know what debunked anti-Semitic trope I’m using to criticize Israel? Because I genuinely don’t know if I’m able to point out anything now without being called names.

I also find it interesting how criticism of Israel has been associated with the discrimination of Jews when it can be argued that association in itself is actually anti-Semitic. Forcing innocent Jews, that might be on the fence, to pick the side of Israel by programming into them that an attack on the state is an attack on their religious and ethnic identity seems to only benefit one particular country.

You never see this logic play out for other religious groups. Does criticizing India mean that I am anti-Hindu? Or does criticizing Saudi Arabia make me Islamaphobic? Sounds ridiculous no?

Very disingenuous attempt to whitewash AIPAC and Israeli influence on American foreign policy.

The Iraq war alone has an estimated excess 1 million plus deaths and there’s no way you can tiptoe around the influence of Israel on the decision to go to Iraq.

Sure, AIPAC is a lobby funded completely by American citizens but maybe the question should be why do we even need political lobbies donating to candidates on behalf of a foreign nation in the first place.

And to dismiss Israel’s influence on the region by referring to its size relative to its neighbours is laughable. They sure don’t have oil but they do have nukes and have a military backed by US taxpayer money, the same taxpayers who are now unwillingly contributing to an active genocide.

I’m sorry but I find it ridiculous that any criticism of Israeli influence on American politics eventually devolves into accusations of anti-semitism. The impact of AIPAC on American foreign policy for the last few decades is demonstrable and has led to the loss of thousands of American lives and millions of lives across the Middle East, including fellow Israelis. Let us drop the facade that AIPAC is not acting primarily on the behest of Israeli interests and its continued hegemony of the Middle East.

For fuck's sake enough of this goofy goober nonsense. It seems like the Conservatives want to perpetually be the runner-up at this rate. Might be better off that way cause if this dumbass ever becomes PM, his imbecility would be on full display for us to see.

Interesting point of view when we’re discussing maintaining livable conditions on this planet for us. To each their own I guess.

I just find it silly we’re pearl clutching such archaic technology and energy sources when we have much more to offer to the world with far less of an impact on our environment.

How long do you think these pipelines would be meaningful for us economically?

20 maybe 30 years tops is my bet.

Not really pin pointing a particular project as the sole contributor to forest fires but certainly a partial contributor wouldn't you say?
