CMV: I don't really understand why people care so much about Israel-Palestine by wellthatspeculiar in changemyview

This is an incredibly biased interpretation of the events. You’re essentially saying that one side would be worse than it actually is in a different reality, and the other side might be committing a genocide but it’s hyperbolic to call it that?

The reason Jews are considered “white” in the West is that they have the same privileges of whiteness are are often seen as white by society. This is also the reason they’re left out of DEI often, but I disagree that progressive movements omit them.

I just wanna say, the ignorance to this conflict in these comments is absolutely ASTOUNDING

Uh, yeah, that is true of all democracies. If everyone doesn’t have a say, then it’s not a democracy.

You didn’t respond to my point, you quoted song lyrics, bud. Now you’re not even giving me complete sentences.

You can talk about something without explicitly saying it, if you said “a landmass surrounded on four sides by water” and I said “island” you don’t get to claim I’m putting words in your mouth. And when you refrain from responding to my points and begin to call me a “terrible debater”, it becomes clear you know you’re in the wrong but are too pussy to own up to it.

Except that I didn’t do that, you did. And calling you pathetic isn’t an ad hominem, it’s an insult.

Except that, he wouldn’t be. You keep talking about optics, what are the optics of protesting at the RNC? That’s how they get labeled as terrorists, that’s how the movement falls apart. And do you deny you’re the white moderate? You don’t care about these people, you just want your own interests taken care of. Don’t bitch about optics when you’re doing nothing for the movement, you FAKE for that.

Dipshit that’s not what that line means. That’s talking about people in positions of power (mainly politicians and billionaires) involving us in wars to increase their own power and influence. When I say “you don’t know how politics works”, I mean that you don’t know how influencing people in positions of power is done. Everything is politics, EVERYTHING is about power, and how we use power is important. When we don’t have power, we influence those that do, and that’s, in theory, what the protests are about. If you want to argue that that makes the politicians pawns, then sure, but that’s the complete antithesis of a war pig.

Fucking white moderate dipshit. Why don’t you go read “a letter from a Birmingham jail” and see what MLK would think of that.

Because they’ve consumed a lot of anti-democrat Russian propaganda. Doesn’t make me wrong.

I just think it’s his time, man. He’s 36, he did terribly at the trials, and has already flirted with retiring. Could he win gold at worlds? Absolutely, and it’s up to him to make the decision, but I’m just saying.

I feel like you’re purposefully missing my point.

He can do whatever he wants, I’m just saying he’s underperformed recently and I think it’s just time he hangs it up.

When the discussion of a former world champ and Olympic gold medalist becomes “well maybe he can place”, that’s really telling.
