"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Well the other crazy thing with voting is how narrow the margins are.
It doesn’t have to convince everyone. Only a small percentage across the country mixed with a few people in key locations and you can change everything.
At least 200 are variations of saying “kill”
It is varied and complicated throughout history-
-
Pre-Christian anti-Judaism in Ancient Greece and Rome which was primarily ethnic in nature
-
Christian antisemitism in antiquity and the Middle Ages which was religious in nature and has extended into modern times
-
Muslim antisemitism which was—at least in its classical form—nuanced, in that Jews were a protected class
-
Political, social and economic antisemitism during the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment Europe which laid the groundwork for racial antisemitism
-
Racial antisemitism that arose in the 19th century and culminated in Nazism
-
Contemporary antisemitism which has been labeled by some as the new antisemitism
Christians have some historical antisemitism because the Jews are blamed for crucifying Jesus.
Muslims i have less knowledge, but i know in modern times they hate the founding of Israel among other reasons pertaining to “conflicting sky daddy”
Also for some other context, many practicing Jews kept traditions that made them stand out in the past. Leading to negative (and often false) stereotypes.
Lastly, it doesn't help that they proclaim themselves God’s chosen people in the eyes of outsiders.
Edit: corrected mistake
Religion, plus they were an easy minority to scapegoat historically.
Right? Like great, vote for the GOP, they will definitely care about Arab policies. /s
Foolish and short sighted. Sorry but 2/3 of the US population supports Israel in this conflict, and likely all of the remaining 1/3 is from the young liberal left. Biden is an old democrat, expecting any other result was naive.
But sure, elect an authoritarian Trump. Then instead of protesting, just get thrown in a camp for not being white and christian.
2 quotes come to mind
The problem:
“you cant reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into.”
- Jonathan Swift
And the solution:
”He drew a circle that shut me out- Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle and took him In!”
- Edwin Markham
You have to draw a bigger circle. It is the way to deprogram people from that tribalistic mentality. Teaching them and “winning” debates will not work.
Even if it was an iron dome rocket, which is not impossible; it was not targeting the hospital. It was targeting a hostile missile launch.
I also trust international orgs fatality reports more than local sources on this one.
Y’all keep talking about war crimes, but Hamas is not even distinguishing themselves from civilians which is the basis from where almost every other IHL rule stems.
Well more than 1… but also form and motive are important here.
The “1” was an innocent woman who was raped, tortured, and murdered slowly and publicly to spread terror because she was at a music festival.
The “3000” are civilian casualties of war because said terrorists are hiding behind them as a combat strategy.
Both are horrible, but you are making a false equivalency.
Good thing Hamas never lies or we would have no idea who to trust.
Like when “500 people” died in that hospital parking lot from that IDF bomb that totally didn't look like a failed Hamas rocket explosion. /s
This is why stochastic terrorism should be taken more seriously.
Honestly, i dislike his age, his stance on Israel and some other general things but overall I think Biden has accomplished a lot of good things as president.
Some examples:
