I simply disagree. I don't think calling people who disagree with you "a disturbed mind" as you did is helpful, nor leads to understanding. My advice is to assume those who disagree with you have information you do not have,

I 100% agree that free speech and academic freedom protections must include even reprehensible speech. I also think that criticism of Israel on an international/California forum like this is probably anti-Semitic, but at least misi

Yes. So you understand, then, that Free Palestine does not mean freedom. You good with that? I mean no disrespect when I ask: are you an Islamist?

Let us both take a calming breath and step back. I think the salient point is that we both care for Palestinian children. We both differ on what to do about it. From my perspective, they live under a brutal, genocidal dictatorship who will

What makes discussion of this difficult is that whenever someone neutrally discusses this, someone invariably jumps in, angry, with an uncharitable whatabout. Please ignore it when it happens. When you dig into the history of the region, as

We can listen to the Palestinians themselves: "Would you be willing to share land equally with Jews in peace?" https://youtu.be/Ry6kpYFHnxs "Would you compromise with Israel for peace?" https:/&#x2

Nah. White supremacists hate Jews and do not argue for Israel. You know this. Jews including Ashkenazi and Palestinians are genetically similar, and Israel is a non-white nation, including Mizrahi, Muslim, Druze, and Ethiopians. No, white

Nah. The term Semitic was coined to refer to a class of languages, not people. The term anti-Semite was used by anti-Semites such as Heinrich von Treitschke and the Antisemetic League to describe their anti-Jew stance. This is the word as

As I said it before, you should know by now that the "free" in Free Palestine does not, and has never, meant "freedom". That is a Western expectation imposed on the phrase. Determining what it actually means, I will leav

Like you, I am concerned for "thousands upon thousands of murdered" Palestinian children. We differ only on where to place blame. You blame Israel. I place responsibility squarely and solely on Hamas. There has been no debunking o

Ok, but in your long rant you imply there is a causal connection.

My condolences again. I'm neither Israeli nor Jewish, and I don't personally know anyone directly affected by the attack (as far as I know), but what makes this attack particularly nightmarish for me personally is the world reacti

The repetition of any and all anti-Israel rumors and dismissal of anything pro-Israel, and the rabid fury therewith, suggests that there's something more going on than just sympathy for the plight of the poor beleaguered Palestinian pe

> Palestinians were forced from their homes by Israeli settlers only days before the October attacks. You know there are zero Jews in Gaza, right? No Israeli settlers at all. They are flat out forbidden to go there.

It comes from the Gaza Ministry of Health, which is Hamas. They assert that no one at all who has died in Gaza whatsoever was in the military. All civilians.

There are a lot of people who just credulously cite any statistic when it makes Israel look bad and dismiss anything that mitigates Israeli action as Zionist lies. It's hard to reach these people.

I think even if we got storage that could store enough information to be indistinguishable from reality itself, we would still want to save variations, clips, duplicates, intermediates... I don't know that there is a peak fidelity.
