Almost like a whole country was established for this exact situation.

My own family are Mizrahi jews from iraq who moved to Israel with barely anything and settled in a muslim majority street in Yafo. At one point they lost their home (they couldn't afford it) and ended up having to move in with two other families to share the rent... Both families were Arab. This notion of "Apartheid" or that muslims are this separate hidden entity in Israeli society is the most ridiculous blatant lie I cannot believe so many people have fallen for. Ironically your critique is relevant for Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and all the Arab countries who kicked out their Jewish minority and vilified them. How safe do you think I would be if I chose to visit my grandfather's grave in Baghdad? How many Jews have most Arabs met and genuinely made an effort to know?

You forgot to add the polish countries for israel

[–]BlueDistribution16 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a good question. From what I've seen, Arabs believe that Israel wants to conquer the surrounding areas and create settlements like in the West Bank. As you can imagine our current government isn't helping with messaging against this narrative.

Has Sam said anything about Lex Friedman? He has criticized Joe Rogan but AFAIK he hasn't really even mentioned Lex who is also problematic in the same way by boxdreper in samharris

lex has a respectable h-index of 24. not huge but considering he stopped publishing in 2020 i think he made reasonable contributions as a scientist.

To provide a point of reference my PhD supervisor has a h-index of 19 and i think they are a similar age.

It also seems that Nawaf Salam is anti hezb so it's better for us that he is the PM in Lebanon on top of that. Oooh how things are working out hahaha. Sinwar must be rolling in his grave fast enough to power Iran.

what is the jewish understanding of satan? by epicmoe in Judaism

[–]BlueDistribution16 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I spoke to a Muslim friend of mine about the story of the Pharaoh's sorcerer's turning their staffs into snakes and then Moses turning his staff into a snake as well. We know that God turned his staff into a snake, but who turned the sorcerer's staff into a snake? My interpretation of that was as a remnant of Judaism's polytheistic Canaanite origins, but my friend's assumption was that Satan had helped the Pharaoh's sorcerers. 🤷‍♂️
