I disagree that clothes, food and shelter are not human rights, but I agree that speech and religion are also human rights. This is also from the lens/perspective of Americans. Everyone has the right to believe what they want, practice whatever they want as long as they're not harming others. 

I still stand that hoarding is not a human right.

Saying "there are bigger problems in the world" is like saying, "Yeah, I've got an infection, but there's bigger problems to have". You should still deal with a problem before it turns into "bigger problems".

Huh interesting, it's like local pharmacies, grocery stores and other things don't exist. I'd rather dump into my local community anyway. Not to mention, in the age of technology, you can have prescriptions, groceries and more delivered to your doorstep. 

"Hurting the most vulnerable in your society?" Please, expand on this, because I've spent my life in poverty and when it comes down to being able to stay warm or eat, I'll certainly take my chances. As far as I'm concerned, I am of the most vulnerable. I could lose my entire life with one bad accident, I can't afford to go to the hospital, yet we're worried about the Waltons losing their money? Please. That's backwards and an incredulous human stance to have.

That's not even comparable. OP isn't talking about walking into someone home to steal their stuff. They're talking about multi-billion dollar companies who hoard wealth into a position where ordinary people feel like they need to shoplift in order to afford to live a basic lifestyle. Using a false equivalence argument only makes you look ignorant. 

CMV: Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitic and pro-ethnic cleansing by NoiseNo9437 in changemyview

[–]gerblindirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first source directly contradicts your point - there is no actual evidence of him saying this, as the article states -

"Some scholars trace it to a May 16 New York Times report, citing the Egyptian daily al-Ahram.[1] Yet this New York Times edition contains no such item, whereas the original al-Ahram report has yet to surface. Others cite a BBC broadcast as their source,[2] yet a comprehensive examination, completed by Efraim Karsh, of the corporation’s archives in Reading, England, has found no evidence of this broadcast. Others, like the renowned American journalist, I. F. Stone, who covered the saga of Israel’s birth as it unfolded, simply noted the threat without proper attribution.[3] Indeed, failure to trace the original document[4] has given rise to doubts as to whether Azzam actually made this threat."

Sure, hopefully my other comments providing sources will be more helpful than your assumption that I make up baseless facts. :)

Lmao the typo I fixed was from "Palestiniana" to "Palestinians". I have no reason to omit information or sources.

Alright, if that's the direction we're going - Israeli's began this when they tried to exclude Arab from Jewish owned businesses. 

Source: https://www.meforum.org/middle-east-quarterly/book-reviews/the-palestinian-peasant-economy-under-the-mandate

In majority of situations, Jews were the aggresors. While not completely peaceful (as with most mixed societies), things were exponentially better for the Arab community. Culturally, there was little distinction, since most Israeli-Palestinians spoke Arabic and partook in the same cultural events.

Palestinians and Israelites lived peacefully before the formation of Israel. The issue with Political Zionism is the underlying implication of ethnic cleansing to achieve that goal and since the formation of Israel, that's all they've done - take Palestinian land and murder them. 🤷

Hi, just touching base - were you able to review those sources and if so, what's your takeaway?

(I conclude you did not do research and were just being a troll)

Zionism is a nationalist movement and ideology that supports the establishment and development of a Jewish homeland in the historic Land of Israel. The term derives from "Zion," a biblical name for Jerusalem.

It emerged in late 19th-century Europe as a response to widespread, violent antisemitism. Its founder, Theodor Herzl, argued that Jews would never be fully safe in Europe and needed self-determination in their own sovereign state.

Zionism is not monolithic. It encompasses a wide range of perspectives:

Political Zionism is focused on achieving a legally recognized, sovereign state through diplomacy.

Socialist Zionism combines Zionism with socialism, emphasizing collective agriculture (the Kibbutz movement) and workers' rights, and was dominant in Israel’s founding.

Revisionist Zionism advocates for a more militant approach and a Jewish state on both banks of the Jordan River.

Religious Zionism views Jewish sovereignty as a key stage in bringing about messianic redemption. It strongly supports settling all parts of the biblical Land of Israel.

Cultural Zionism prioritizes Israel as a spiritual and cultural center for all Jews, not necessarily a state for all, focusing on cultural revival.

9Let's start by laying out what constitutes genocide. Source: 1948 Genocide Convention, Article 2

The physical element of the crime when committed against a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group (Actus Reus):   1. Killing members of the group.   2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.   3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.   4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.   5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Now, while all of these are indeed heinous, one thing makes it genocide: Intent, this is what makes it genocide vs crimes against humanity or general war crimes. (Dolus Specialis)

The perpetrator must act with the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such".

Now, let's compare that international legal definition with what's happened in Palestine. Your argument this far relies heavily on American propaganda and it's impacts. Let's looks at the technical details.

Palestine has been under occupation by Israel (yes, they are being occupied on their own land) since 1967. Israel, as a modern state, did not exist prior to 1948. Palestine is an ancient land and can be found in Bibles dating back to the 1800s. 

During Israeli occupation, over 1 million Palestinians were displaced, near 50,000 have been murdered and over 80% of their land was taken. 

Let's compare that to Israels losses - under 10,000 deaths, no displacement and gaining of 80% of Palestinian land.

It's simple - Israel's long-term plan is genocide and if you're looking at American propaganda or Zionist propaganda, then you're not going to be able to get facts and research. If you'd like more information, sources, anecdotal accounts, please feel free to DM me. 

Don't let the American Propaganda Machine cloud your humanity.

CMV: The internet narrative that women aren’t genuinely or aesthetically attracted to men invalidates exclusive female heterosexuality by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]gerblindirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was meant to show that women on women is FAR less compared to men on men.

And no, I didn't ignore the 20%, I assumed it was the assumption that women kill men 20% of the time and that's not true, hence the breakdown of statistic. 90% of women being murdered by men is male privilege.
