  1. It can't always be that if you don't agree with me then you are biased.
  2. I have never in my entire life gambled. I love the structure of the word itself
  3. I understand. To add to what you're saying, I'm always in conflict with ignoring what radicals online have to say vs engaging them. On one hand ignoring them is easier and saves you the headache and time, but on the other hand you feel an obligation or duty that compels you to say something.
  4. I don’t need a moral argument. Also the whole point of the creation of Israel was on the basis of partitioning land between two peoples. The same law responsible for creating Israel is responsible for a future Palestinian state. But if you don’t want to respect laws because they’re subjective, then forget about the rule of law. Just pick and choose when it’s convenient for you.
  5. Saying America needs to be disbanded is as lazy as saying a future Israel where Palestinians accept a one state solution needs to be disbanded. No at that point both parties have ended the conflict. There is no retroactive disbanding. This is lazy. I regret wasting my time here.
  6. I don’t have to discuss immorality. Israel is not entitled to Palestinian Territories (West Bank and Gaza) by way of international law. That is the homeland of Palestinians that they are entitled to. You can’t see your own bias. @numbersinarow
  7. @numbersinarow Nice to see you engage in oppression Olympics. You can have that. The fact that you have yet to discuss my point that you don’t think Palestinians are entitled to have their own land, and completely ignored what was bolded which was you saying we need to support Israelis taking back their own land (only thing left to take over is occupied Palestinian territories) and the irony that you can’t see your bias in that others are also entitled to their own land (under international law, occupied Palestinian territory is Palestine, which is West Bank and Gaza) and instead went on all these random distractions demonstrates you aren’t someone worth talking to.
  8. Also Jews are not victims nor oppressed. This is maximum cringe. if you meant to say historically oppressed say that instead rather than manipulating language.
  9. Reddit and Quora? Where is that coming from? Do you use Reddit and Quora? Also the quote bolded wasn’t about Jews being oppressed or not oppressed. In that quote you said we need to support Israelis taking back their land. I assume taking back their land means the West Bank, also known as occupied Palestine, no? As for the double standard whatever you’re on, I have no idea what you’re saying.
  10. Ironic coming from someone who thinks Palestinians aren’t entitled to their land.
  11. Can we get some a summary? The first video is an hour long..
  12. So it should be done through mocking and sexualization? Why?
  13. @Gennadiy1981 From Pew Research Center's: Israel’s Religiously Divided Society: "Virtually all Muslims (99%) and Christians (96%) surveyed in Israel identify as Arab. A somewhat smaller share of Druze (71%) say they are ethnically Arab. Other Druze respondents identify their ethnicity as “Other,” “Druze” or “Druze-Arab.”" https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2016/03/08/israels-religiously-divided-society/
  14. Yes, I know, some don't see themselves as such and they are endogamous so they don't marry outside their community. I already acknowledged this. Even some Iraqi Christian get offended when you call them Arab meanwhile others do view themselves as such. If you don't think this is the case with the Druze, so be it.
  15. I removed the genetic part because, you are right, people being similar on a genetic level isn't what determines their ethnicity. But if you want to know, genetically they are a levantine people similar to other Arab Levantines rather than Mesopotamian, regardless if some of their paternal lineage is indeed from Assyria. But I don't know why them being different in religion and customs doesn't make them similar to your average Arab. Christian Arabs have different customs and religion than Muslims, yet are still Arab. Arab is a pan-ethnicity of those who speak Arabic and share some cultural practices and traditions with other communities that make up this pan-ethnicity. If you want to appeal to Wikipedia and other encylopedias, Druze are considered Arab. But to end this conversation, like I said, some Druze consider themselves as such while others don't. So, cheers to getting through the technicality with me.
  16. Some Druze may choose to not identity as such, but others do. And yes, they are endogamous.
  17. half way through i realized i wasn't american which took me by surprise.
  18. The Druze are an Arab people, and they also live in Lebanon too. Obviously they weren't the target for that rocket. Extremely tragic. Prayers go out to the families and victims.
  19. That period saw occasional instances of violence but not enough to accurately be characterized as "eradication attempts"
  20. While the PLO did take up arms against Israel in 1948 (and why shouldn't they have? Israel went to Arab villages expelling Palestinians, the so-called "transfer of population". Again, I referenced to you before the Tantura documentary where the film makers dig up documents and even IDF veterans in the film testify the order from Ben Gurion to drive Arabs out. They even show a document where he ordered a report to find the best way to cover it all up. This despite Israel's propaganda that the Arabs willingly left because of orders from Arab leaders), they did recognize Israel's right to exist when it signed the Oslo accords, and while that recognition is now ambiguous, there is still support for a two-state solution so that demonstrates the acknowledgment of Israel's existence. If we are talking about the past, again the creation of the nation of Israel signaled the undeniable "transfer of population" of Arabs from the "Jewish homeland". There was reason for both to eradicate the other under the belief of "my land, you won't kick me out", "our land, we can't have you all be a part of it". But again, one side has shown recognition of Israel's right to exist before and demonstrated acknowledging Israel's existence via support of a two state solution. Israel on the other hand has never recognized Palestine's right to exist. In fact, Palestine doesn't exist. And Palestinians don't exist.
