Israel/Palestine thread
Think this merits its own thread...
Discuss my fellow 2+2ers..
AM YISRAEL CHAI.

But no foreskin in the game apparently
By all accounts the insurrectionists at UCLA made a good showing. They repelled the first charge by the LAPD, and the state had to bring CHP auxiliaries in to break the line.

I see what you did there 
Israel-Palestinian is in essence a regional territorial dispute. But the far left that is trying to destroy civilization and usher in a new dark age for humanity has made the destruction of Israel their cause celeb, so we all have skin in the game, whether we realize it or not.
Come on, you have to give me kudos for that one

Send them all to Iran, Good plan!
It would be a cool experience and they should take them up on that offer
Mets, Rafiki:
I think this is a fair summary of your position: antisemitism and Hamas support in the encampments is so well proven, so obvious, that it needs little comment.
But there has been next to no evidence at all in this thread.
I say antisemitism and Hamas support among the protesters is vanishingly rare.
The basics have not been proven.
Have you got even one data point?

I didn't say not a real jew. I apologized for the quotes that one dayThe race traitor comment that you made is closer to my true feelings Jewish is complicated. It's a religion. It's a people. Hitler or victor or any other antisemite won't give you a reprieve from the gas chamber if another holocaust happens. So no matter what i say in fits of frustration or anger, you'll al
Quoting on this site sucks. Time for new software.
Ok...be nicer is fine.
You did apologize for the quotes, but that's what they implied.
I'm not that much of a sjw, mostly I'm just not anti-sj and I am anti-anti-sjw. You should read more carefully.
Do I hold Israel to a higher standard than Saudi Arabia or Hamas? Unapologetically yes.
You know I've responded directly to you that I thought some military response from Israel was warranted. And you have said that some of the response has been too much. You just want me to wave a flag. Flag waving sucks. I like people helping each other and working together and stuff, but I'm not a collectivist like that. Tribalism is odious.
Because Bibi needs Hamas. It's a co-dependent relationship.

wtf the bold?
They "conquer" and occupy buildings and put "intifada" banner out of the window lol.
They have cardboard with the most heinous pro hamas positions, one i posted here.
They chant "from the river to the sea". Some occasionaly chant.
"break open the gate, globalize intifada" at university of chicago
Jews blocked from accessing areas
"have you got even one data point"
The encampments at US universities all have Jews in them. Some of the people doing the blocking at all the encampments are Jews. Some of the people being blocked are also Jews.

whites can be anti-white racists, some rightwing blacks are called anti-black racists by the left, why can't some jews be antisemites?
In general people who hate their own group always existed, and in general the left structurally caters to people with that sense of identity, just think of how much hatred for your own country is a defining element of most western radical leftist groups.
Would a political party having black members in congress preclude you from calling that party racist against blacks no matter what they say or do as a party? why should that work for jewish presence in the encampments?
That's dishonest of you. There's no suggestion anyone was blocked for being Jewish.
You might as well state that people with two legs were prevented entry.

No one at UCLA was hindered from being in the encampment or passing anywhere because they were Jewish. People were not allowed in the encampment unless they passed through a line and agreed to some rules, none of which were about being Jewish ethnically, culturally or by religion.

This is the kind of thing that makes it not worthwhile to talk to someone at all. I mean you are doing bad-faith here. What's your logic? When you say "by the left" you mean that it's wrong for those rightwing blacks to be called anti-black. Right? You think that's a bad thing. And then you go on to use it to justify calling jews antisemites?
What are you doing? Ok, profess whatever beliefs you have that you know I consider horrible. But be honest. Otherwise what are you doing here? It's just people chatting with no consequences. It's ridiculous to be like that.

Pretty sure that is all of us here.
It's a lot of people, but not everyone. I'm not perfect about this, but I try not to post arguments that I think are wrong just because it looks like I had an argument? or whatever reason people have for doing that. And, I understand that you hold your tongue on some of your ideas because the hall monitors will ban you, but I haven't noticed you just throwing out arguments you don't believe to see if they stick like that at all.

My point was more that we're just here to discuss and argue for fun without real consequence to anything or anyone, not that we should be allowed to argue in bad faith.
