Why are you so certain that was the only determining factor?

Because it is what he wants to believe.

I would be interested in what she thinks about October 7. I am guessing she would say that those were despicable atrocities (as would I).

But she didn’t, she said Israel committed crimes. Full stop.


And I like how they bring up South Africa. How’s that going?

This was written after oct 7 2023 and they bring up 1980s SA but no mention of October 7.


You do the math. These people would rob you of your land and slit your children’s throats while they sleep. There is a reason why they won’t say what Palestine did on October 7th was wrong.

It was ONE piece of writing that contained ZERO hate for Jews and ZERO support for terrorist organizations.

Anyhow...thanks for the discussion. I was just curious what others thought. We see things differently. This is the USA. As citizens, we're still allowed to do that...and write about it.

Cheers

I don't WANT to believe anything. I'm just going on what's publicly available. If you know anything else, please enlighten me.

I don't think this has much to do with the U.S. and it's more about another country.

You just demonstrated the efficacy of the propaganda. NOWHERE does she state anything about hating Jews.

Please answer this question: can someone oppose the policies of the state of Israel and NOT hate Jews?

No.

The Israeli power structure (whatever that may be) has so successfully conflated criticism of Israel with anti-semitism, that to criticize the actions of America's real 51st state is the same as firing up the gas chambers again.

Despite Israel's enormous regional and American political power, they still have everyone convinced they're victims. The entire Israeli identity is wrapped up in victimhood and Americans still get suckered by it.

This woman writes her op ed against Israel after Palestine raped and murdered Israelis.

This is the center of our disagreement. You think the actions of October 7 are attributable to "Palestine" and, therefore that ALL Palestinians are subject to whatever punishment (including death) that Israel (with US support) decides to inflict.

I think the despicable acts of October 7 were carried out by a terrorist organization, Hamas. A very small percentage of Palestinians committed October 7. I think the collective punishment of tens of thousands of Palestinians who had nothing to do with October 7 and have no control over Hamas is wrong.

Of course, I realize that some collateral civilian deaths would be expected due to the nature of the pursuit of Hamas. The complete destruction of most of Gaza and the tens of thousands of innocents killed, however, is too much in my view. That doesn't mean I hate Jews or simp for terrorists.

Rookie numbers. Should be 300,000 plus
