  1. Yes, the PA not only stopped fighting israel but helps crush Palestinians trying to resist the destruction of their people, No South African rebel group ever went that far to placate apartheid. Israel’s response is to ramp up violence and theft even more. Did any Israeli care that more children died in the west bank by September 2023 that year than since the second intifada by their doing? No. Yet the want the whole world to care about Israelis killed on Oct 7. The idea israel just wants peace and if Palestinians lay down their weapons their will be peace is a complete lie. Their definition of peace is Palestinians are a subjugated people who they can brutalize at whim for all eternity. The only language israel understands is violence, economic cost, and sometimes shame. At no point in Israel’s history have they ever relented their expansion unless they faced a large amount of this, and even then it was usually a ploy to expand the brutality elsewhere. Israelis always say “Arabs only understand force”, it is complete projection.
  2. Correct, Palestinians largely lived in peace with Jews in Palestine prior to Zionism. The Hebron massacre was in response to zionists marching with weapons chanting the country was theirs, as bad as it was it small in comparison to the hundreds of massacres of Palestinians by zionists since then. One massacre does not justify another, let alone hundreds. They are literally carrying out pogroms every week in the West Bank, and all you are interested in is going back 90 years, ignoring all context, and complaining about bias.
  3. I like how every example you brought up was after zionists had already begun colonizing Palestine and you clearly didn’t even read your post since it even mentions how some examples were in reaction to Zionist terrorist attacked. None of this compares to the constant mass murder and pogroms Israelis have inflicted on Palestinians in the past 90 years either which you don’t mention. One example being during the civil war you mention before any Arab army invaded Zionists already killed thousands of Palestinian civilians and expelled hundreds of thousands.

  6. It’s harder in small towns because there are far less options. In cities a lot of them actually have more young women than men so it can be easier, though its harder in its own way since there are so many high status men women share.

  8. Leo misunderstands the Bible and Judaism. It doesn’t actually say Palestine belongs to jews. And for most of jewish history it wasn’t considered to be land they should take. In the Talmud the three oaths actually say they shouldn’t retake it until the messiah returns. The idea of religious Zionism is relatively new and only formed after atheist Jews founded Israel.
  9. No it wasn’t. A primary election is not the same as a general election. You can lose in a primary (or win in a primary) and get the opposite result in a general, it’s a completely different circumstance and electorate. The reason why they don’t admit Bernie doesn’t have wide appeal is because it is contrary to evidence. The only time he lost were primaries where a small amount of mostly older democrats voted, his “wider appeal” was not tested here. Polls consistently showed he did better among independents and even republicans in hypothetical general match ups than his primary opponents. Primaries test appeal among the party base, general elections test the appeal among the general electorate. Sanders loss proved he lacked appeal to the party base. Hillary and Kamala’s loss proved they lost among the general electorate. Concluding that we should keep going with Hillary and Kamala esque status quo politics for general appeal makes no sense based on these data points.

  12. No, Russias attacks are far more selective than Israel. Russia hasn’t been regularly using 2,000 lb bombs on civilian areas. Russia hasn’t destroyed or damaged 90% of residential buildings, Russia hasn’t repeatedly struck areas it told civilians to flee, Israel did all of the above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fP-J8m-BF0 https://frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/updates/attacks-following-evacuation-orders-in-areas-where-civilians-were-directed-to Israel is purposefully targeting schools, hospitals, water infrastructure, and even paying civilians to use bulldozers to flatten what’s left of cities. They’ve also killed exponentially more doctors and journalists than Russia. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/09/bulldzoer-gaza-genocide-idf-meta IDF reports find they can only confirm 17% of those killed are confirmed combatants in Gaza. https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/aug/21/revealed-israeli-militarys-own-data-indicates-civilian-death-rate-of-83-in-gaza-war When the US coalition was invaded Iraq or Afghanistan, a majority of those they confirmed killed were confirmed combatants. Israel also purposely induced famine in Gaza, Russia didn’t do this in ukraine https://archive.ph/GTAqI
  13. No, israel is the cause of the war. Israel was attacked many times prior to Hamas even being founded. This is because israel violently subjugates millions of people and seeks to steal more and more land. The war has not ended because of Israel, because as always they reject peace offers until they face economic pressure or massive violence. Offers to end the war and have Hamas step down were given repeatedly, israel rejects them because it wants to kill more people. Israel itself admits they funded Hamas, why? Because the PA agreed to stop fighting them, but they needed an excuse to not seek peace and keep stealing land in the West Bank. So they sacrificed safety of Jews for the opportunity to steal from and kill Palestinians. Their propaganda narrative is that somehow when the people they brutalize finally fight back it is their fault for “starting it” and justifies israel committing mass murder of civilians. Of course believing they were untouchable. That failed on Oct 7, when they had the some of worst losses in their history followed by collapsing international approval and damage to their economy. They’re trying to save it by going all the way and genociding the Gazan population and using it as a pretext to steal more land elsewhere now. As long as israel doesn’t recognize Palestinians as equal human beings, they will be attacked again and again, because legally and morally people have the right to fight against oppressors.
  14. Not only did this not happen, it was the opposite. Progressives repeatedly warned neoliberals they were empowering right wing populism and Trump, and were ignored but proven right. Examples being, Progressives criticized trade deals like NAFTA and supported movements like occupy Wall Street, neoliberals supported the deals and crushed occupy. The result of this was a hollowing out of the rural white working class and growth in their skepticism of economic elites creating a vacuum filled by right wing populist movements which trump later exploited. Progressives were against Hillary Clinton being the nominee claiming she represented the establishment which working class voters disliked, and was herself an extremely unpopular politician. The neoliberals backed Hillary to victory and she lost to trump, partially because of many Obama to Trump voters in swing states. Progressives were also against Biden for the same reason, however lost again and Biden ran but won, however progressives later wanted him to be a one term President with New Democratic primaries, neoliberals again got their way and the primary was essentially cancelled with Biden running again. However Biden revealed how degraded he was at the presidential debate and was forced to drop out, now much later in the primary damaging any new candidate. Progressives again were mixed on Kamala Harris being the candidate, as she bombed the last dem primary not even making it to get votes and didn’t seem particularly popular or charismatic. They argued Kamala should signal a more anti-establishment bend such as distancing herself from Biden and pledging to condition arm sales to israel. Again they didn’t get their way and instead Kamala declared she’d do nothing differently than Biden, not only refused to say she would condition arm sales but actually campaigned with Liz Cheney, someone deeply hated by not only progressives but also independents and conservatives after she turned on trump. Some progressives also pushed for Kamala to take a more pro union stance and to reach out to independents and young men by going on popular podcasts that invited her on such as Joe Rogan, Flagrant, Theo Von, Lex Fridman. Again neoliberals got their way and ignored this suggestion and Kamala did none of this, the largest Union the teamsters President said Kamala refused to signal she’d do anything different and instead vaguely threatened them, so they didn’t endorse her and he spoke at the RNC, Trump went on the podcasts and got probably hundreds of millions in free media. Kamala lost by worse margins than Hillary Clinton.
  15. I would say yes, however he discounts that men or the masculine is more evolved in its own opposite way. For example, while women seem more present and in flow naturally, men tend to be more minimalistic and focused than women and less wrapped in their thoughts.
