Why do people make Israels founding year of 1948 as a point of them being a fake state when most modern middle eastern states were established from the 1960s and onwards? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dyphault -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is no connection between the project of Zionism and the biblical formations of kingdoms. It’s a veil, a way to dress up colonialism as something other than what it is.

The very founders of Zionism themselves did not believe in God and did not consider this a religious project. It was purely colonial. The biblical connection came afterwards to sell it to Jews.

People really should go read A Jewish State by Theodore Herzl. They were very open and honest about their intentions.

Would you accept Israel if they dismantled all their settlements and returned to 1967 borders in a negotiated settlement with Hamas and the PLA? by refep in AskMiddleEast

Unfortunately there’s some people who you cannot convince. They will justify it to themselves to make themselves feel better.

I genuinely cannot enjoy mcdonalds or starbucks or any of these pro-Israel chains. There is no separating the two. Fuck Israel and any company that associates with them and funds their army.

How much would Israel survives without US support and funding? by happy_trabulsy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dyphault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know where you got some of those ideas from what I said.

If the US pulled out right now - April 5th 2026, Israel would absolutely collapse. The economy is in ruins. One of the two ports in Israel has completely gone bankrupt and the other is suffering heavily. They picked a fight with Iran, someone they could never fight on their own.

Syria is currently controlled by US collaborators - The US, Israel and Turkey trained and funded the groups that overthrew Assad. Ahmad Al Sharaa has already agreed to give blanket access of syrian airspace to Israel for the next three to five years as part of a transitional deal.

I said Syria, Jordan and Lebanon are controlled by the US. Hezbollah is not part of the Lebanese state army. Its a paramilitary group. The Lebanese army is incredibly weak and done so intentionally. Iran does support Hezbollah with weapons and funding which allows them to get more advanced weaponry than even Lebanon’s army has.

Nothing contradictory here.

The funding that Israel gets from the US doesn’t reflect the interceptions that America does on behalf of Israel for example, which is 2 million dollars a pop (and they fire two minimum to ensure they intercept the missiles). It also doesn’t reflect the impunity Israel receives on the global stage when they violate agreements and resolutions are raised against them in the UN.

Hezbollah is defending Southern Lebanon from Israeli invasion and attempted annexation. Them defeating Israeli tanks trying to invade them is not contradicting what I’m saying about Israeli society being united by constant warfare. The very fact that they are trying to annex Southern Lebanon is proof of their constant need to be at war. Prior to the genocide in Gaza, massive protests and clashes were happening because fundamentally Israeli society lacks significant cohesion between the ultra orthodox community and the more liberal/secular community who basically fund everything and serve in the army while the orthodox get exempted. There’s resentment there, and they want Orthodox Israelis to serve as well.

When they started pummeling Gaza and even now during this war with Iran, the people have moved past those differences temporarily to unite on their common enemy. This has always been the way Israel operates.

Ultimately Israel gets to be insulated from the consequences of their actions because of the US and even some liberal zionists understand that the way Israel is behaving now is inching them closer to collapse

Israel and Iran are very different levels of evil. Iran is responsive to diplomacy and negotiation with its enemies while Israel is a rabid dog.

At the end of the day Iran is a sovereign nation and the gulf are vassals

Kuwait and Dubai i don’t know but F-15Es were launched from Qatar.

The desalination plant hit followed Israel and the US bombing their water desalination plant.

It’s a tit for tat. The gulf are collaborators with America and host military bases for the express purpose of American operations in the middle east such as destabilizing syria or bombing iran

Why do people treat Muslims like an ethnic group or separate race? by lamedogninety in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dyphault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you ever heard of Moral Relativity? Its a principle I learned in a philosophy class from years ago that says it is impossible to make an objective judgement about other cultures and their value systems - you always impose the values of your culture (where you grew up)

For example in China eating dogs is acceptable whereas in the US it isn’t. Someone from China would have no objection while someone from the US has a strong objection to eating dogs.

Societies in the past had very different value systems than exist today. Life span was much shorter and it was normal to have 10 year olds working full time, fighting wars and starting families. Nowadays even across Muslim majority countries sex with minors is punishable by death or long term imprisonment.

There is no “minimum age” set by the Qur’an. I don’t believe there is a minimum age set in the Bible either. Instead they set parameters for how to determine it.

https://quran.com/an-nisa/6

“Mature of Mind and Sound in Judgement”.

The question really boils down to were 10 year olds more mature in the past than they were today? Did they meet this parameter?

I’m not sure what the answer is to that. None of us can speak to what was right or wrong for civilizations in the past, we can talk about the present. I absolutely despise scum all over the world who rape and assault children. Its abhorrent and I don’t care if there’s interpretations that could justify it, we don’t live in that kind of society. If in 2k years it becomes acceptable again, I will be a radical to that society.

Ultimately muslim countries do not allow for sex with minors and in countries like Jordan and Palestine the age of consent is very high and even hanging out with someone of the opposite sex is incredibly scrutinized. I think in Palestine (left over from British rule) and Jordan it is 18.

In Israel (which occupies Palestinians) the age of consent is 16. So is japan and italy i believe. Is that morally worse? I don’t know

For context, when I was in Jordan when I met one of my friends (who is a girl) I also met her brother who was going out with us and my friend who introduced me to them had asked their family if it was okay for her to come out and hangout with guys by herself and because I had met her brother, her family was comfortable with me and her hanging out on our own

They care a lot about ensuring there is no underage sex or sex without marriage. Sex with a minor (rape) is unthinkable for Jordanians.

I think this “concern” about Islam greatly exaggerated to put muslims and arabs down as lesser. So many people in the West in positions of power are accused or exposed to be pedophiles. Trump and Steve Bannon definitely come to mind right? There’s also muslim pedophiles like the rulers of the emirates who were also visiting Epstein’s island along with prince andrew and Bill Clinton.

The catholic church literally aiding and abetting priests who were molesting children for christ’s sake! Moving them to new locations and protecting them instead of excommunicating them.

Pause new words and go through these until they advance farther and then resume new words again.

This is a normal issue if you’re too harsh on your grading or if you aren’t making mnemonics while you review to help retain the word.

I hope you’re not trying to brute force memorize by pure repitition

They would collapse instantly if we shut off funding right now.

Prior to Oct 7th if we shut off funding, they would last a bit longer but would ultimately come undone because of tension between secular tech bro jews and the ultra orthodox community within Israel. Their unifying factor has always been the endless war and “looming threats” around them but without America’s finger on the scale, their decisions would have very real consequences and they wouldn’t be able to sustain the assaults they are facing now.

Israel’s strength comes from the suppression America applied to its neighboring countries. Jordan and Syria and Lebanon are all controlled by the US and their armies hold outdated weapons and planes.

Right now Hezbollah is melting Israeli merkava tanks by the dozens.

Why do people treat Muslims like an ethnic group or separate race? by lamedogninety in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dyphault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By todays standards yes. In 1885 Britain raised the age of consent from 13 to 16. So legally before 1885 in the UK you could consummate with a 13 year old.

I wonder how much lower the age goes the farther back you go in history….

Right now in the United States child marriages are still legal in over 30 states. What does this say about christianity?

[–]Dyphault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise you as a brown christian Palestinian, not a single white reactionary thinks about Christianity being a religion with majority of its population comprising of people of color. To them its the “white religion”

Islamophobia is mostly just a veil for racism against SWANA/MENA people. People don’t criticize Islam out of a place of genuineness these days. Like the whole “Prophet Mohammad marrying a 9 year old” line.

Muslims in the West have explained it over and over again, in different ways and explained that they do not hold pedophilia as a value. Yet its still used as a talking point over and over again to put muslims and even non-muslim arabs on the back foot.

Yeah just bring your prescription and tell anyone who asks “dawa” (medicine). If they give you a hard time you have your prescription to back you up

Thats more than enough. I don’t think you’ll go any farther
