He did not have a mandate: he had a Congress that just barely supported him.

Stop blaming D's for R's. Stop it!

@Maggoty

Gish galloping is more than just lying, it's generating falsehoods faster than they can be refuted, which entails responding to refutations by changing the subject. Like you just did. Again.

New rule: Don't argue with antisemites. Just block them.

@Maggoty

The problem with arguments based on pretending to be stupid is that people are likely to believe you're really that stupid and just write you off.

Go back to my example of "capitalist state" and you'll see that your stupid nonsense argument was pre-refuted.

@Maggoty

You're Gish galloping.

The actual issue is whether, contrary to Iran's slur, Israel is a legitimate nation with a legal right to exist. It is and does, as it was created by the highest international authority.

Cherry-picking historical partitions (thus avoiding India/Pakistan) is a dishonest change of topic.

@Maggoty

BS. If they were, you would have been able to.

@Maggoty

Are you confused? WWII was in the 1900's, not the 1700's.

And, to remind you, the UN partitioned Mandatory Palestine. Israel accepted this, the Palestinians went to war and lost. Sucks to be them.

@Maggoty

Just like nobody cares that the Palestinians controlled this territory before they lost it. All that matters is who has it now.

The UN decided to partition Mandatory Palestine, with part of it forming Israel and the other forming an independent Palestine. However, the Palestinians rejected this, went to war, and lost.

When you go to war and lose, it's not your land anymore.

"Anyone who calls me out for my antisemitism is a troll." - some Australian antisemite

@Maggoty

Yeah, and the Jews were there before that. Welcome to history, where the people owning a land can change.

Fact is, Israel was formed on top of land owned by the Ottoman Empire, not the Palestinians. Britain won it as spoils of war, just like the Palestinians did long ago. Then the Palestinians went to war and lost again. It's just not their land anymore.

If war is a legitimate way to gain land, then Israel legitimately exists and it legitimately owns Palestine.

(1/2)

@Maggoty

No, that's a lie. Iran and its "Axis of Resistance" reject the existence of Israel, so they refuse to use its name, instead calling it the "Zionist state" as a slur.

Do not lie to me, and do not make excuses for antisemitism.

If the Dems had control of Congress, then SCOTUS would have ruled differently.
