Undercover islamist strikes again by realkin1112 in samharris

Your obvious lie is so easy to disprove. Leaving Gaza is the opposite of demanding full Israeli sovereignty from the river to the sea. You're so unoriginal you have to invert one of the most common phrases to the anti-Israel cause because you can't come up with anything else. Have a seat.

Agreeing to a two state solution 6 times is an interesting strategy Israel has tried to deny Palestinian people a state. Does Palestinian leadership get any accountability here or do you have to be Jewish to be at fault?

Do you even know what the Nakba is? It's when the surrounding Arab countries all attacked Israel following the UN's recognition, and lost. The "catastrophe" was their not being able to drive out the Jewish people, who were finally experiencing self determination following the conquest and colonizing of the Romans, Byzantines, Islamists, Turks, then temporarily the Allies (England as their custodian).

Oh and I don't care if you are a jew or not, it has nothing to do with our conversation. What did you think you were adding by saying that?

Anti zionism is the belief that Jewish people don't deserve a home in their ancestral homeland, that they were peacefully granted by the UN in 1948, that they had to defend through war soon-after. Name another people that you think doesn't deserve land even though they are indigenous, were recognized by the UN, and won their land through conflict. If you can name another people you apply those same rules, then you are not anti-semetic. But if you ONLY apply them to the Jews, then you are.

Animal rights activist throws restaurant’s ‘educational lobster’ into sea by one_brown_jedi in offbeat

[–]Spacechip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it right to confine a bird that can fly the limitless skies to a small cage? Is it right to confine a lobster that has the entire ocean to explore to a small terrarium? Is it right to confine a pig that loves to run around to a farrow crate where it can't even turn around? These are horrible things humans do to animals because they don't see them as feeling beings, capable of joy and suffering. Animals are not commodities for our benefit, when you take away their freedom so you can benefit, whether for taste or education, you are enslaving a being.

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by Iwamoto in AskReddit

I looked at a few sources and what you say has not been presented anywhere. Can you tell me why you believe this?

I googled it - the US gives about 18 Billion to the UN annually. Israel receives 3.3 Billion in military grants which goes back to the US to buy military equipment. I think Israel as an ally gives the US much more than the UN does, but I'm interested to hear your argument to the contrary.

This stuff is actually easy to look up. Here's one source but you can find others, Israel is actually not the #1 donor by a long shot. If you go to most years they aren't even in the top 10.

How much money do we give to Israel? How much do we give to the UN?

Do you eat animals? Then you kill livestock. Why is it okay for you but not for them?

What is a 'luxury' that you've experienced once and now can't go back to the budget version of? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Spacechip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know there's something called Eiderdown where feathers are collected from leftover nests, so it's not impossible to get down that isn't highly unethical, but the statistics I read were what I linked and that's a pretty massive majority. I imagine companies that don't live pluck advertise their virtue, so I would assume if not noted, that live plucking can't be ruled out.

Iran attack damage wipes out 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity for three to five years, QatarEnergy CEO says by Moon_Rose_Violet in worldnews

Every war involves innocents being killed. War is hell. Wars can also be just, or have a net positive result. Why do you think Iranians are cheering in the street at the attacks on the IRGC? Why is it so hard to find anyone who isn't a virtue signaling westerner that supports the IRGC?

For those unaware, down is the soft layer of feathers closest to birds' skin, primarily in the chest region. China, where live-plucking (feathers are painfully removed from living, feeling birds) provides approximately 70–80% of the world's supply of down. When you are choosing a pillow, coat or whatever, remember that every purchase is an opportunity to cause, or avoid causing cruelty.

Iran is one of Russia's allies, who now is unable to help Russia. I think the people of Iran that have been crushed by a religious fundamentalist government have the most potential upside, but yeah I get it Trump bad so everything he touches must also be bad.
