I guess the question is why did we start labeling slightly socially awkward people as the same category as the people you describe in the first place?

Dreamers are not protected by congressional law, they're protected by an Obama executive order (DACA). Which means that protection could be removed by Trump at the stroke of a pen. Dreamers really entirely on the moral compass of Trump

A general bias that Jews are supposed to "forgive and forget" losing 3rd of population in a genocide, losing land multiple times the size of Israel etc. While much smaller tragedies are used to justify forever war by Hamas against

What if the Arab states stole property multiple times the size of Israel from Mizrahi Jews? Which they did. The Arab states clearly owe Israelis more reparations than the other way around.

No but when someone says "Israel is uniquely evil and must be destroyed because of [reason that also applies to dozens of other countries whose destruction they're not demanding]" it implies either ignorance or bad faith.

Well it's in their self interest to deny any culpability. That way older generations could say "Jews get out of Poland! Go back to Palestine!" And younger generations can say "Jews get out of Palestine! Go back to Poland

How much plausible deniability would Iran have if they gave a nuke to Hezbollah who fired it over the border at Tel Aviv? "That was Hezbollah, not us!" You might say using a proxy would be a hopelessly transparent ploy, but Hezbol

My understanding is those don't accomplish much militarily since they just give people cancer 30 years later. So you commit a war crime for no military advantage, then what? The other country just hits back with a dirty bomb of their o

If Joe's plumbing hires an assistant plumber, they get to fully deduct the assistant's salary. Why do I, the hardworking tax payer, have to subsidize Joe Plumber, who already has a big house with a pool?

But most employee salaries are deductible right? If you hire a chef at your restaurant, you aren't depreciating their salary. Doesn't that make software engineers one of the few employees with much worse tax treatment?
