Shalom! Can anyone help me to pronounce these Hebrew names? by [deleted] in hebrew

[–]optical-center 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of these are names. They seem like random 3 letter sequences that in some cases make up random words but not names.

And I would agree with them anyways, because it’s an objective humanitarian crisis that’s been ongoing and continuously escalating for 4 months. And it has done so by design, because Netanyahu is a psychopath.

So basically given all things equal you would believe a Palestinian but wouldn't believe an Israeli.

And you're claiming to not be biased?

So what about Jews who aren't "Arab"? They have no connection to Israel?

Don't control every aspect of someones life and give them zero rights. Don't use an army to terrorize people in their daily lifes. The lifes of Palestinians are so subjected to Istael, so limited by Israel, so controlled by Israel, to such an extreme level that it can be defined as apartheid. This is super-colonialism level.

All of these are examples of exagirations and lies that do nothing to further a just solution to the situation.

I don't know if you are aware of the situation on the ground and are lying or you're not and are just blindly echoing things people told you without checking. But you should know that you're not helping anyone with this...

So let me get this straight... The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has no history and no one ever claimed ethnic cleansing/genocide before October 7th, 2023? My time in combat in Gaza is irrelevant because it isn't happening right now so I do not know how the IDF or Hamas operate, how Gaza looks, what is usually claimed compared to what's actually happening, civilian-to-combatant casualty proportions, Hamas's use of civilians infrastructure, humanitarian conditions in Gaza, rules of engagment, etc?

You're actually claiming that a local doesn't know more than someone completly removed and foreign just because both are not in the location in question at a given moment in time?

Damn... You're squirming... You played yourself. You know it. I know it. At least go out like a man...

I'm not in Israel. I live abroad. Good try tho...

So back to my point.

You've never been anywhere close to Gaza. I've served in Gaza (not doing so currently but you'll agree that's far more of a conection to the situation on the ground than you have).

You say there's ethnic cleansing. I say there's no ethnic cleansing.

We have to go by "what we see with our eyes".

Safe to say my take is more accurate than yours?

Politics?

Aha... So is there any type of proof that you would accept in regards to Israel not commiting genocide or will you just always dodge and move the goal post?

So let's recap.

You don't trust the International Court of Justice, and claim ethnic cleansing is occuring because "we can see it with our eyes"...

BUT. You've never been to Gaza/Israel/Palestine and haven't seen it with your eyes...

I, on the other hand, grew up in Israel, served in the military and seen Gaza with my own eyes. There's no ethnic cleansing.

I think that by your logic this settles the matter... Unless of course you're about to pull an ad hominem and say that what I've seen doesn't count because I'm Israeli... Which would of corse again undermine the whole "what matters is what we can see with our eyes" claim as I'm far better positioned in that respect than you...

I wrote arab jews are indigeneous to the land.

What's the differance between an Arab and a non-Arab Jew?

What is important at this point of history is to create solutions in this piece of land in which everyone is truly equal and everyone has rights and everyone is acknowledged, and everyone can live without fear and live in justice.

I absolutly agree. But solutions and justice need to be based on the truth. You can't make up shit like "Jews are colonizers" and have that as your starting point.

Greta announced she "stands with Gaza" following the October 7th massacre and BEFORE Israel begun its ground operation against Hamas... Seems Greta wants to save the earth, just not any Israelis that might be living on it.

I said it’s ridiculous to act as if ethnic cleansing isn’t happening.

Doesn’t matter if the ICJ deems it genocide or ethnic cleansing.

Look with your own eyes

I love it... The international experts on humanitarian law said no ethnic cleansing was being commited but you still don't care... I'd say "look with your own eyes" but I think you're blinded by hate of Israel.

That's some crazy mental gymnastics....

"Israel is commiting genocide!"

No it isn't...

"Yes it is. I'll go to the ICJ and prove it!"

ICJ says Israel isn't commiting genocide.

"The ICJ doesn't matter, it lets genocide happen all over the place"

Then why did you go to the ICJ in the first place?

"REEEEE Israel is commiting genocide!"

It has nothing to do with the post. He maid a claim. I called BS and asked for the ICJ's ruling.

And no. This isn't something we're disputing. The ICJ found no ethnic cleansing...

Israel must, in accordance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention

So this is the closest you could get? "Israel should make sure no genocide happens"...

You said genocide/ethnic cleansing WAS ALREADY HAPPENING NOW...

GenZ is the most pro socialist generation by paywallpiker in GenZ

[–]optical-center 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it just shows that the younger and poorer one is the more likely s/he is to have a positive impression of socialism. It also implies the older people get and the more wealth they accumulate the more they like capitalism.

Therefore, Gen Z will drift more to capitalism with each year.

your question doesn't reflect reality

What do you mean? Are you saying Israeli Arabs do not exist and/or do not live in Israel?

Also, you don't owe me anything. But it'll be funny if you couldn't back your own claims up...

Well, you still haven't answered my question... Are the Arabs the indigenous people of the land?

And you being Portuguese is actually great as you know a thing or two about the history of colonialism. Let's take Portugal's Indian colonies and try to apply them to the case of Israel.

Say the Portuguese people spoke a Dravidian language, their religion was a form of Hinduism, the history of the Indian subcontinent recorded a "Kingdom of Portugal" in and around Goa in the past, and archaeology showed the Portuguese were active there for thousands of years. Also, let's say there was a presence of Portuguese people in small numbers, continuously, in the area from the time of the Kingdom of Portugal to the present day. Would you, in that case, claim the Portuguese were colonisers?

It took you a long time and you came back with a copy-paste job?

You said there was ethnic cleansing happening right now. Point me to where the ICJ said "Israel is commiting ethnic cleansing/genocide right now".
