[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]
Proportion of Gaza + WB residents over current Israeli population is approx 40% iirc.
150m is 40% of current American population.
One of the proposals is to let Gaza and WB residents join Israel and vote all happily thereafter right?
That's like adding 150m traditional Muslim voters to the American population
Guess you deleted?
He gets the number from what it would take to Mahe muslim the majority here
Adding Gaza Judea and samaria makes muslim the majority there

No I get it as a proportion of Palestinian population vs Israeli population.
Muslims become the majority because you (in Israel) already have 2m of them, wouldn't be the majority in the USA but they would be 40% of voters, and more in the future (they have more children), lucky if you can still eat pork in 2050 in the USA if that happens
Another great point
In this bilateral state can you behead gay people? Do you recognize gay marriage done in other countries? Do women have to have heads covered?
Is there room for 150m more people in the USA? Yes if housing regulations change dramatically and you wait the 15-20 years needed to build the necessary housing and infrastructure.
Would it be smart to import 150m people with values very detrimental to everything that made america successful giving them a right to vote? Lol no

So would abortion be legal or illegal in this bilateral nation?
I wouldn't but I won't spend too much effort to avoid that because unlike Muslims, there aren't hundred of millions of Orthodox Jews around to begin with.
Yes, quantities matter.
But if the "price" to pay to make it constitutionally illegal for a religious person to naturalize as an american would be to exclude Orthodox Jews as well , yes , tell me where to sign.
Add trad Cath and trad Hindus to the list and I am a happy man

Luciom, it's not "sensible" for any country ever to bring 150M people in overnight ffs.
He's saying abortion would become illegal
Because they would vote against abortion. And gay marriage. And other things
Not over a long period of time they wouldn't, and as I just said no one ever brings 150M people into anywhere overnight, or even in a few years.
It's just a stupid mind game.

Here's an article telling palestinian women how to sneak past checkpoints to have abortions in Israel. Hadassah hospital will perform them free. For palestinians and for Israelis
When i visited hadassah hospital they explained how any time a palestinian comes, they send them back with birth control and imunnizations hoping they can sneak them to palestinians who want and need them
What will be the status in this bilateral nation with a Muslim majority
--'xxx
What is more unpalatable to you
A jewish state that still allows Muslims to practice and be citizens or a bilateral state where women and Jews lose their rights
Which do you prefer?
Not over a long period of time they wouldn't, and as I just said no one ever brings 150M people into anywhere overnight, or even in a few years.
It's just a stupid mind game.
They do. They are asking Israel to take Gaza + WB residents in overnight with voting rights.
At least that's one of the proposals on the table.
If you disagree with that idea (of Palestinians ever voting for the same polity current Israeli vote for) we are fine
Which is why it is not sensible for a country of 10m people to join 4m trad Muslims giving them voting rights!
Because you know that's literally identical to adding 150m trade Muslims to America, proportionally
If you're so concerned about LGBTQ+ and not merely using them as a weapon I expect to see you railing against bigoted Christians too - but never see this.
I can't quite put my finger on why that could be.
you support trump who wants to ban abortion, among other things. should all republicans be deported somewhere? (yes)

I don't support trump, trump doesn't support a complete ban to abortion, and I am a normal European wrt abortion (free first trimester, then a lot of rules because the fetus becomes a human life)
