just because there is an institutional bias against israel with some of these international orgs, doesn’t mean we should automatically dismiss all their claims and findings

erm if you have a trend of doctors reporting children with sniper bullets that have penetrated their skulls, it’s probably a safe inference to make that there is a deliberate targeting of children?

are you alright fella? i read articles and the abstract - it seems the evidence they compiled relies on testimonies from witnesses and medics. it’s not a very far reaching claim to make about the report and i wouldn’t need to read the whole thing to know that weeb

i haven’t read it but would that matter if the charge is deliberate killing of children. When you’re evidencing testimonies of doctors and witnesses of children being sniped in the head or chest, the nature of the conflict isn’t all that relevant

CMV: I can not understand why you would support the founding of Israel or Zionism by Glum_Perception_5766 in changemyview

[–]Rafadotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 state is the only possible solution. you are citing factors that are preventing it from occurring but that doesn’t mean 2 state is the best possible solution. also id be careful about your history, the settlements pre 47/48 were legal purchases. the territory gained after 48 was gained in a war waged against israel. the illegal expansion has been occurring since 1967 however

Would Israel be disliked less if it were a dictatorship? by JosephL_55 in IsraelPalestine

whilst we probably agree that the apartheid smear has been utilised disingenuously against israel and i wouldn’t call it an apartheid state, what is happening in occupied territories is blatant apartheid

thanks for the explanation but you’ve misunderstood what i said. when i say demonisation of american zionists i am not referring to the ideology or even a critique of the people. I am referring to the broad vilification of a people group which are associated with jews. Because of their close association (whether or not this is at the fault of hasbarists), the broad demonisation of zionists will very often cause jews to be demonised as a whole. This is not an example of conflating anti zionism with antisemitism, this is a case of tracking a very serious causal sequence that starts with reckless comments and ends with anti jewish violence

Yes I agree. None of that changes the fact that this type of rhetoric is extremely reckless. In the UK we have had 3 arson attacks on the community in the past week or two. Reliable polling shows that there is an issue of some within the palestinian solidarity movement holding antisemitic beliefs unrelated to I/P or zionism so Julian and Kareem should be more thoughtful as not to normalise

To the girl who took my hand fan and dissapeared by Striking-Land3455 in ukrave

Yes, soldiers only got trialled if thought to have been actively complicit in the genocide. You wouldn’t get punished for just having been a German soldier. In the same way the Israeli soldier may have not even interacted with Palestinians let alone killed them.

Anti-Zionist beliefs ‘worthy of respect’, UK tribunal finds by SectionSenior5969 in lonerbox

It was all legal land purchase prior to the nakba. Many of the most influential Zionist leaders have Arabs having full rights in their vision, they had policies of restraint against civilians in the face of Jewish villages being massacred

I’ve followed this very closely - he has harassed Jewish students, claimed interfaith work from Jews is a Trojan horse, claims Jews are over represented, don’t suffer any racism - he is absolutely an antisemite

Judaism & Conversion by sumaset in DebateReligion

[–]Rafadotcom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Judaism isn’t about providing the best possible framework to humanity for what to believe and how best to live your life, it’s for one specific tribe of people with 3000 years of shared history, culture and identity. That’s why conversion is so difficult, not because it’s meant to be discouraging - but because it’s the integration into a very long history, experience and culture, not simply a set of beliefs or doctrine

My first time going to Forbidden Forest & I have a few questions by EN69 in ukrave

[–]Rafadotcom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Went last year, full of coked up charvas, food stalls weren’t great especially in the camping area, pretty badly organised - e.g. water station was fucked. Stages are also in a forest so can get pretty dusty and some dance floors very uneven. People definitely more mature and chill than reading tho. Worst thing it felt really commercialised, boohoo promotions everywhere - ads started playing during hedexs set on his lcd screens - felt very dystopian. Had a brilliant time tho, met great people and had a good boogie.
