  1. Perhaps not explicitly. And yet two lines later you point to international law.
  2. I agree not a good example. People essentially invited into the country ... why would they not be afforded citizen benefits? I think Israeli settlers in the West Bank is a political mistake to deal with with a short-term problem in Israel.
  3. I don't think @magnkarl or I have said otherwise. I want Palestinians to be able to live peaceably in the Levant too. I think the displacement of people by Israelis is a political mistake. Counterproductive to a peaceful settlement. Hamas going on a rampage was incredibly stupid. Not beneficial at least not in the immediate term to the Palestinians in the Gaza strip. Firing rockets at Israel (and apparently occasionally missing) is incredibly stupid.
  4. Probably true, but then it has been said truth is the first casualty of war.
  5. You are confounding what I want with what is reality. I would use every lever I had to protect what I think of as mine.
  6. Arguing for one side or the other in terms of people's rights won't get us anywhere.
  7. You are buying into your own rhetoric here. Do you actually have an argument?
  8. OK 'rights' are a social construct and meaningless beyond the social construct.
  9. OK good. How did they get the rights?
  10. Have you been to Israel? Try visiting the Arab city of Nazaret.
  11. I agree with your post above ... a minor quibble is the rights bit. I get what you are driving at ... but really what we are driving at is the wants and perhaps the needs of the people involved. What I don't get from a Hamas point of view, Israel has routinely responded to Hamas's stupid incursions in the past with what for me is disproportionate force. What did they expect this time?
  12. Do you believe people have rights to own land?
  13. It is absurd ... but you appear to be arguing for this sort of thing. People who have or do not have 'rights' to a particular bit of land.
  14. That is what I said. We all have a common ancestor somewhere. Rights of residence is an interesting philosophical concept.
  15. The Europeans that moved there obviously. People who are descended from ancient Hebrews and other Semitic tribes.
  16. I don't know. But it is not "breaking news". It was inevitable from the moment Hamas did its thing. And this is what I find sad.
  17. Depends if you mean the right way or the right way… It was the right way 150 years ago!
  18. I was thinking of people like: James Damore Jodi Shaw Bret Weinstein Peter Boghossian James Bennet Tabia Lee Erika López Prater
  19. Ahh I got it ... football fans are on the side of the angels when it comes to Judaism and Islam.
  20. It seems to be people who are on the left who are hounded out of their jobs etc. By people who are on the rabid left.
  21. Aston Villa does not need to tell me there is no room for racism in the Premier League.
