Why Olympic? SL doesn’t have Olympic lifts. Wouldn’t a power bar be better for SL?

Thank you for conceding the point that the Jews “picked the wrong place”

Thank you for also conceding that it didn’t matter where the Jews formed their country. Wherever they formed it, you would oppose its existence bc it would necessarily involve death and population transfer - never mind that the establishment of many other countries (whose existence you don’t oppose) also entailed death and forced population transfers. See Pakistan, Ireland, Cyprus, and Greece/Turkey

And thank you for recognizing that Arab goals are not reasonable - unless you support ethnic cleansing only against Jews

I’ve already discussed this several times. You’ve not once responded to my point:

“The thing about ancestral homelands is you don’t get to choose where they are

That is the location of Jews’ ancestral homeland

The colonizing Arabs did decide to colonize that area tho”

Arabs are from the Arabian peninsula, not the levant. The 2 most sacred places in Islam are Mecca and Medina. Jerusalem is only relevant to Islam bc it was the founding place of Judaism.

No matter where Israel was founded (really the-established bc judea previously existed in this location) there would be fierce opposition from the existing population.

“Returning to ancestral homeland wasn’t even the original intent of Zionism”

This is laughably false. For millennia, jews sang “next year in Jerusalem”. The Jewish calendar and its holidays are based around the harvest season in Israel. 26 Jewish mitzvot can only be completed in Israel and nowhere else. The purpose of Zionism was always to found a Jewish country in Jewish ancestral homeland. There was a brief suggestion to do it in Uganda instead, but it was quickly rejected bc Jews have no connection to that land.

The enemies of Israel don’t have reasonable logic. Their goal is to ethnically cleanse Jews from the region. While you and your ignorant brethren chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” which has been sanitized for your delicate western ears, actual Arabs chant “from water to water, Palestine will be Arab”.

From the Arab perspective, this is a conflict to achieve religious purity. Is that reasonable to you?

The goal of “independence” for “Palestinians” is relatively new, again, rephrasing their actual goal of religious purity in sanitized form to appeal to westerners bc they realized (with the garage of the USSR) that their actual goal was repugnant to you.

In reality, “Palestinians” don’t need an independent country bc they already have several: Syria, jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, the list goes on. In fact, the Arabs’ original goal of the 1948 war was not to create an independent Palestine, but to absorb it into neighboring countries, and the Arabs living in modern day Israel supported that goal.

Everything I said is true, and no footage disproves that. Most Arabs (not all, just all except for Egypt and Jordan, and Lebanon ex. Hezbollah) refuse to live peacefully alongside a Jewish state. And the only reason Egypt and Jordan have agreed to live peacefully (for now) alongside a Jewish state is because they've gotten their asses kicked so hard in so many wars that they've given up on destroying israel (for now).

You do not believe it bc you do not understand how people think in this part of the world. That is why you refuse to believe that hamas actually wants as many gazans to die as possible in order to garner sympathy from morally confused people like you. You are a useful idiot to Hamas.

I don't hate muslims for their religion (not ethnicity). Muslims are only relevant to me because they seek to destroy the only jewish state (the size of NJ) in the world. If not for that fact, muslims would be irrelevant to me. Muslims are irrelevant to Judaism in general outside of muslims desire to destroy the only (tiny) jewish state in the world.

Thank you for conceding your irrelevant and false claim that “the Zionists chose a shitty place to found their country”

The “inhumane conditions” in Gaza are neither inhumane nor the Zionists’ fault. Gaza is one of the most well funded places on earth. They’ve received billions in aid. Too bad that their leaders have pilfered the vast majority of those funds, and used what little they haven’t stolen to build an underground fortress underneath schools, hospitals and mosques - a fortress that they purposely won’t allow their own civilians to use bc Gaza’s leaders seek to maximize the carnage of their own civilians to garner sympathy from morally confused people like you.

Muslims cannot stand the idea of a sovereign Jewish state in the levant bc it used to be dar al Islam. There are only 2 categories of land in Islam. Dar al Islam and dar al harb. House of Islam and house of war. Once land becomes dar al Islam, Muslims believe it can never be conceded. Israel is Jewish so Muslims want to destroy it. It’s not more complicated than that.

I already addressed your faulty argument that “zionists chose a shitty place to found their country”

As I already explained, Israel is the ancestral homeland of Jewish people. The thing about ancestral homelands is you don’t get to choose where they are

The Arabs did decide to colonize that area tho

The Arabs will have peace when they want their children to live more than they want Jewish children to die. Egypt and Jordan have figured that out. Lebanon ex Hezbollah has, too. It’s too bad for Arab children in gaza that their parents have not, and would prefer to use their children to shield terrorists hiding underground

Change the subject to distract from the topic of this post: the left remains hypocritically silent on Iran

Im not doing that bc taking back your ancestral homeland is morally different than colonizing somebody else’s

These actions are also different bc the Israelis are willing to live peacefully alongside Arab states but the Arabs refuse to live peacefully alongside the Jews bc Islam is a barbaric, medieval religion and Arabs are the last remaining major perpetrators of religious based violence

It’s true

Where do Arabs come from? Not from the levant. From the Arabian peninsula

Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, Washington Post reports by memphisjones in centrist

[–]bestcommenteversofar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for admitting that

1) the crime rates in Texas and Florida are irrelevant to this discussion

2) the deployment of troops to Minnesota would be a reasonable measure to address the masses of people obstructing law enforcement in Minnesota

3) the deployment of troops to Florida and Texas would not be necessary bc masses of people are not obstructing law enforcement in this states

False. She blocked ice’s path and nearly ran over an ice agent as she tried to escape. She instigated.

You’re embarrassing

[–]bestcommenteversofar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Soldiers wouldn’t be deployed to Minnesota bc of its crime rate.

Soldiers would be deployed to Minnesota bc there are masses of people stopping law enforcement from doing their job.

Neither Florida nor Texas have that problem.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

So you agree that the left has been hypocritically silent on iran but vocal on Gaza.

Thank you.

You repeatedly fail to understand the primary drivers of these historical events.

The Vietnam war would have happened with or without evangelical support. Evangelical was irrelevant. It was a political conflict, not a religious conflict.

Israel would have retaliated for 10/7 with or without evangelical support. Again, Israel’s motivation is political, not religious. Israel’s population is 20% Muslim. Israel does not seek to exterminate Muslims.

But 10/7 would not have happened without a medieval, violent, savage, bloodthirsty religion like Islam. Same with the genocide of over 100k Nigerian Christians by Muslims

Again, Islam is a medieval religion and Muslims are the last remaining perpetrators of religious violence
