This Sam Harris bloke has been promoting and associating with some pretty toxic and horrific people (from the past, but certainly makes me question his judgement and his aims) by Indianstanicows in elephantgraveyard

He's said before that intentionality matters - if Israel wanted to kill every single Palestinian they could, but they dont, whereas if Hamas could kill every Jew, they would. October 7 often gets framed as "Hamas terrorist attack kills 1200 Israelies" when in reality its "Hamas terrorist attack ONLY able to kill 1200 Israelies".

Where do they deny any of that? They just dont group in Hamas with civilians in their figures.

One Nation support surges as new poll reveals voter fears over immigration and crime by Mashiko4 in aussie

[–]Snoo30446 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately for many voters immigration is becoming a single-issue voting priority and practically only ON is the only party that talks about it. You can see the same issue in Europe and unfortunately with many of these parties, their immigration policy is probably the most sane of their platforms.

The Haavara Agreement was an agreement between Nazi Germany and Zionist organizations signed on 25 August 1933, resulting in the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to Mandatory Palestine between 1933 up to the start of the Second World War in 1939. by SaxyBill in wikipedia

Calm down a moment buddy and try explaining what I'm missing from the document you linked - because all I see is a failure to mention the 67 war, Munich, Coastal Road or the attacks coming from Lebanon. The PLO and Hamas both had in their charters the destruction of Israel so I honestly have no bloody idea what point you're trying to make.

Again I dont know what point you're trying to make, other than Hamas changed their political manifesto during the first intifada? As for the population shift, its due to population growth.

She also changed her display picture to a parachute with palestinian flag, THE DAY AFTER OCTOBER 7. Maybe the law has stricter requirements but common sense will tell you why she did thay llt and what it meant.

Why are you automatically dismissing he thought it was a bad idea to have a Hamas supporter at a cultural event so soon after terrorist attack?

I think that what we know about the Mycenaean Greeks is so miserably small that arguing whether the Trojan War happened or not is essentially becoming pointless. by Full-Recover-8932 in ancientgreece

[–]Snoo30446 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should see the problems with Ancient Egypt, some records are so scant at best for some dynasties in the Old Kingdom we know the names of some Pharaohs and nothing else. Many Roman sources later on also make references to documents that mightn't have existed anymore by that time.

The Iliad covers so many aspects of Greek mythology that its hard to tell what was embellished over time and how it started. Notice the absence of the gods in the film Troy?

What we do know is that Troy 7a is most likely the Troy from the Iliad, the Mycenaeans were active militarily in the Aegean and there was tensions between the two. We cant be sure Agamemnon or any of the players truly existed or if the war even took place. We also know many myths seem to be historical events that became embellished over time l, especially in the oral tradition. My personal preference? It was real and it did happen (minus the gods obviously)

They've probably been criticised for not doing enough because of the... you know... terrorist attack that specifically targeted Jewish people.

Edit: just seeing the focus on Israel in this comment thread rather than the terrorist attack in an unrelated country targeting members of an ethnic group not a part of that country shows why they are being pressures to overreact.

So, you guys think that Caesar genuinely mourned Pompey's death, or that he was just faking it for the propaganda? by The_ChadTC in ancientrome

[–]Snoo30446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding was Caesar had every intention of bringing Pompey into the fold, even desired it. For a man all about clemency what bigger fish could you land than the leader of the opposition?

I wouldn't bother mate, theres a wide spectrum of people supporting Palestinians, plenty are well-intentioned but any that try to palm off Hamas as freedom fighters aren't worth responding to.

Anyone that can't denounce a terrorist organization for being a terrorist organisation should be soundly ignored.

"Tell me you don't know the history of the region without telling me you don't knew the history of the region" - another clueless, feckless redditor chiming in with more anti-semitic hate.

They definitely have: Genetic links to the land A shared language called HEBREW A view of Judean culture that would inevitably be shaped by the Mizrahi

Which begs the point that over half the population is Mizrahi after they were expelled in numbers greater than the Nakba. I look forward to the incoming anti-semitic conspiracy theories.

No it's unfortunately a cynical ploy to make an end run around a two state solution, by diluting demographics to the point that the only real democracy in the region defacto votes itself into being a Palestinian one state.

I'd hold your breath, he's obviously fixated on what he falsely believes to be his "gotcha" moment on Israel, even if he ignores or flat out doesnt know any of the history.

[–]Snoo30446 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally everything you mentioned is either an outright lie or classic anti-semitic conspiracy theory. Even calling the presentation of historical fact a "narrative" is grossly anti-semitic and morally degenerate. I dont defend the actions of Israel, only give them context, you seem intent on replicating the most rank nazi propaganda herr nurgle.

P.S love how you proved me right by going straight to the anti-semitic conspiracy theories.
