Here's Gideon Levy explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZQf-YSgPto I changed it to "indoctrination". Which is a more polite word that doesn't really do it justice, but i…

If someone ignores what I say over and over and over again, no matter how I rephrase the point I was making all along, I no longer assume good faith, no. The goal at that point isn…

That's not an argument, that's a cold hard fact. The argument is that someone wishing they could commit ethnic cleansing does not excuse actually committing it on a third party. Ju…

Nope, the meaning is the exact same. > I'm not going to try to enumerate Israel's mistakes, but when you decide to invite a coterie of journalists to the hospital you damaged to pr…

Unless you think that reason is that all Palestinians are terrorist and not humans, I fail to see how they're relevant. I'd be happy to accuse Egypt, too, where applicable.

I agree with all of you that we should not tally crimes, that one crime doesn't justify another. But if I had to rank anyone morally, I'd say the same deed becomes morally worse th…

People who are calling out the genocidal speech by hundreds and thousands of high-ranking "trolls" and the genocidal actions by the IDF are in the extreme minority. As exemplified …
