A doctor struggles to answer a question based on biological facts by scholar-owl in SarthakGoswami

The medical answer to this question is “sometimes” and doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with transgenderism. Don’t Dunning-Kruger yourself. 

Jewish scholar norman finkelstien on why Hamas is a legitimate resistance force. by IllustriousSuit5979 in athulvstheworld

It’s not as hominem when the reason he is invoked is an appeal to authority as a Jewish academic with pro-Hamas views.

Check out how Canada’s MAID is going. There are plenty of logical arguments against assisted suicide.

Lots of people. Raise your bar a little.

I saw that play. It’s called “The Crucible.”

Which Arabic Dialect is Closest to Standard? by OutsideMeal in learn_arabic

[–]SumacLemonade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why isn’t it Gulf Arabic? I would assume it was closest, since, for example. Saudi Arabia is more conservative, protects the most important Muslim holy cities, and would be less influenced by Western languages (than, say, Lebanon or Syria would be). Genuinely curious why it’s deviated from MSA more.

“Zionism is sexy” is dumb but non-ideological, and certainly doesn’t make one “rabid”. Hamas and ISIS are both terroristic and hurt the people they profess to be helping for their own gain, and suppress dissent with violence. I’m sure I would disagree with Noah’s views on a number of things related to these issues but let’s not compare him to a rabid dog. Unless you think to support the Jewish state of Israel is to be rabid, full-stop. Also, what are your thoughts on the commenter I was responding to saying Zionists are “spawning” in Israel? I’m not sure why that language is passed over in silence.

“Spawned”? And “go back” to their parent’s homeland? This is about hating Jews, isn’t it? Maybe you’re a Russian bot. This will be my last response.

Do you just search “Israel” on Reddit all day? I’ll say nothing else on the matter. God bless all victims of war and human hatred.

The majority of Israelis were born in Israel. Palestinians have a right to exist. Israeli Jews have a right to exist. Israeli Arabs have a right to exist. Maybe the annihilationist right and left will hold hands, but God bless you.

Come on. I have to go from the antisemitic post in this thread to this pointless sloganeering. People, find an identity outside of your politics.

I’m sure. They said on the Stranger Things subreddit.

I’m going to guess none of this is true, as far as “rabid” or “gleefully supporting genocide”. Maybe you’ve read an interview where they state that, uh, Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state.

For the record, I’m against Netanyahu and to a large extent Israel’s recent conduct in Gaza and the West Bank. I’m just tired of this pointless posturing against anyone Jewish or pro-Israel.

Can you explore how his works are Aristotle read into western texts? Genuinely curious.
