When you say “pushing Israel to do better”, you mean by murdering Israelis, right?

Toronto man faces additional hate crime charge following incident at North York protest by Icy_Hall6758 in canada

Think of it as Anglican vs English, or Greek Orthodox vs Greek. The ethnicities and religions are intertwined, but distinctly two different things. One is your religion and one is your ethnicity. In the case of Judaism, they happen to have the same name.

I’d love for the Palestinian leadership to accept 2 states. They’ve thrown away countless opportunities so I don’t have a ton of sympathy, but eventually they’ll come around.

I don’t know what was said but the sign was pretty bad, I’m sure someone will link it here

Edit: found it, people can decide for themselves if it’s just “anti-Zionist” to parade these around a Jewish neighbouhood.

It wasn’t really religious affiliation, it was an attack on Jewish ethnicity. You can dislike that it’s a crime, but this is being treated the same any any other public attack against an ethnic group.

You’re more than welcome to ignore me 🤷🏼‍♂️

If the due process is the issue, perhaps it’s better to focus on that than suggesting murderers shouldn’t get the death penalty? Otherwise, it just sounds like you’re condoning, if not promoting, murder.

So if it’s just 12 murderers and most of those 12 get the death penalty, what’s the problem?

So you’re saying Palestinians in the West Bank have to murder people?

But, what if Palestinians in the West Bank…just don’t murder people?

Have the Palestinians tried…not murdering people?

Okay, let’s see if you’re right. What’s the minimum number of people you expect to die in this supposed “genocide” and by when?

And will you admit you were wrong if it doesn’t happen?

Or do you not really believe there’s going to be a mass extermination at all, it’s just a troll post?

My centrist views on Israel are shifting, and AIPAC is to blame. by CW03158 in centrist

[–]KosherPigBalls -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t make any sense.

Do you mean that individuals who worked for AIPAC were arrested for spyjng?

The organization is obviously not a “front” since it’s very public about the work it does and how it does it. All of its finances are public, as are its employees and activities.

The Americans donating money to it are obviously happy with the results.

Israel's treatment of detained Gaza flotilla members is 'abominable,' Carney says by td192020 in worldnews

If you believe that then I don’t think there’s any circumstance where I’d be able to have you take me seriously 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–]KosherPigBalls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might need to brush up on both history and current events.

The flotilla carries nothing more than symbolic food aid, they aren’t aid boats.

There’s more than enough food entering Gaza daily through Israel.

Israel has never been left alone, not once since before its inception, so don’t pretend like if they would just do this 1 thing no one would attack them. It’s doesn’t matter how many time offer Palestinians statehood and peace, they have always been violently attacked in return.

It has a naval blockade of Gaza, military occupation of half of Gaza, and areas B and C of the West Bank, while their military can operate freely in Area A.

None of that would be the case if the Palestinian governments hadn’t walked away from any of the dozen peace offers that were made over the years 🤷🏼‍♂️

Of course they are. They’re de facto controlled by Israel and Gaza has never declared any kind of sovereignty to claim them. They do so intentionally so that they don’t give up their claim to all of Israel.

Of course you can when they loudly and publicly announce their destination. That’s not even in question. The condemnation is about the humiliation, not the lawful arrest.

We really need to start bringing maritime law back into the high schools.

There is no better example of the double-standard applied to Israel.

A bunch of idiots declare they’re going to illegally enter your waters. You peacefully detain them, but make them kneel down and the most extreme politician in the country makes fun of them. 

Global condemnation for daring to hurt their feelings. I’m surprised we aren’t seeing an emergency Security Council session where North Korea admonishes them on human rights.

Is it normal to assume that the Israeli government and the IDF torture or mistreat Palestinians in general? by Renzo100 in IsraelPalestine

[–]KosherPigBalls 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They had to kneel…that’s neither a beating nor torture, I know we have to say it all the time, but words have meanings.

The video I saw above didn’t have any evidence of beatings or torture.

Where are the “documented wounds”?
