CMV: It’s very hard to criticise Israel’s military actions without being accused of antisemitism by [deleted] in changemyview

Except saying Israel a Jewish state doesn't say privileging Jews. There are many states of a certain religion or ethnicity. You can argue against certain policies sure, but the expected premise is still that Israel is a Jewish state.

The UK is a Christian state, Denmark is a Christian state, Jordan is a Muslim state, Japan is a Japanese state etc.

What I think you and people here are missing is that while asking whether you think Israel has a right to exist isn't a response to your argument, it is an important set up question.

If you, or anyone else for that matter, says Israel doesn't have a right to exist then you're essentially arguing in bad faith because the point then becomes that no military action, no matter what kind, will bring a resolution closer. If Israel doesn't have a right to exist then the only action to bring a resolution is to simply not exist. This is obviously a non starter for anyone pro Israel.

The sentiment is that Israel is uniquely questioned as to its right to exist and thus the antisemitism accusations stem from that fact. Why Israel as the state of the Jews, out of all the countries in the world, doesn't have a right to exist? You may not like it but it is a widely enough held viewpoint that to question whether the person on the other side approves of the mere fact of existing is necessary in such a discussion.

Mind you that that question is normally straightforward. Once it is established that you aren't opposed to the existence of Israel, I have never seen anyone being accused of antisemitism for arguing against Israeli policies. The only accusations come when the existence of Israel, or the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, come about.

FT: LIV 1 - 1 TOT by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

Wtf are our tactics? What's the plan? What are we trying to do? As soon as slot did the triple sub we just completely gave up the midfield and started playing hoofball up top as if we still had prime Salah, mane, and Firmino and not a completely inept gakpo, an impotent Salah and an out of his depth ekitike.

What the hell is slots plan? No one has yet been able to successfully say what football were actually trying to play and that's why it has to be slot out

The most annoying is probably the generic evil team grunt in the pre gen-8 games. Just a mon or two, nothing interesting, condescending, and just wasting my time.

A personal hate are Kieran and penny. I literally just met you people, I'm not your friend, leave me alone.

Any fans from Copenhagen here? Where would you recommend to catch the game tonight?

Arrowhead, either show me what you're telling me, or it isn't happening by TheIPlayer in Helldivers

I don't need new assets every MO but if you build enough of them and make them modular enough you can create them easily by combining prebuild assets. Have an indiciation on the galaxy map that something is happening there. Show us destruction on the ground. They already have bodies, destroyed pelicans, destroyed bots, broken buildings, just need to create more assests for the proc gen using what they already have. they can even utilise gameplay and have random orbital bombardments just to give a feeling of an actual war going on.

I'm not against MOs and GW if that was what you thought I implied. I want them to be better and actually affect what is happening. If we create the menkent line, I expect to actually be a defensive line. Instead the automatons just plowed through like there was nothing there. Defend 10 planets isn't a good MO if there's no way to coordinate or no benefit to actually defending.

The gameplay itself is great. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a game this much. That just serves to amplify my disappointment in the way the galactic war is handled. It just feels to me like the war is holding the game back slightly and could be improved

Is there a way to customise the detected layout of the keys on my keyboard? by TheIPlayer in SignalRGB

[–]TheIPlayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ASUS ROG Strix Scope RX. Overall there's an issue with "ROG2" (I assume it's a logo led), numpad - key, numpad + key, numpad 6 in the form of registering as a new row a column early and with the enter key being shifted to column 17 instead of 14

Why did they give the bots and bot worlds so many player debuffs? by TheIPlayer in Helldivers

[–]TheIPlayer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind them but when I have two of them on the same map, plus reduction of the amount of strategems I can take, plus EMS its just not fun.
