After my devastating, demoralising post Sally was reduced to little more than a dead horse not worth kicking anymore...
Sally is a dishonest, arrogant poster who assumes to know everybody's stances on everything better than the persons themselves (often after reading just one post by them) in an effort to demoralise their arguments using these silly little games to compensate her lack of solid counter-arguments.
Not to mention the fact that this is one of the most childish ridiculous fallacies someone can use is a discussion:
The famous two wrongs make a right... It's OK to corral palestinians in Gaza because someone somewhere in the ME is doing the same or similar.
Absolutely laughable.
I proved her wrong on both counts:
I'm have no sympathy for muslim theocrats and don't treat the jewish racial dictatorship any differently than the other oppressive middle east regime.
But you is an entire different story, FY...
You always debate in good faith, have never seen you say a single word you didn't truly believe, just to get a reaction from people, you moved the entire board sharing the history of how your father lost his entire family.
I also remember you posted a moving, tremendously heartfelt post I unfortunately didn't have the time to reply to at that time.
A post in which you passionately described the need of the jewish people of a safe haven, of how the jewish people isn't really safe even in the United States, even a rock would be moved by your words.
I don't even know what to say to you, FY...
I would love to defend the right of a jewish homeland to exist, anyone would be hard-pressed to find a people that needs a homeland in which they can be a majority, a place where their security is not in the hands of other peoples than the jewish people.
One of the few things I can say to you to "prove" that my criticism of Israel is not motivated by any kind of anti-semitism, by prejudice against the jewish people is this:
At the beggining of XX century, Europe discussed the possibility of creating a jewish homeland in Uganda.
If this plan had been implemented, and the people of Uganda had accepted (or even welcomed) the mass immigration of european jews, if there had been no mass displacement of the native population I would be here defending the jewish state right to exist.
But as far as ethnic supremacism is concerned I have to draw a line to my support of a jewish homeland, FY...
I'd love to see a country where jews can be a majority without depending on the goodwill of any "host", but I can not support a jewish country where the native population is kept herded in racial enclaves against their will surrounded by barbed wire, electric fences, minefields and machine gun nests manned by soldier with orders to shoot of kill.
You accept this obscenity, not only because you're an askhenazi, not only because of the tragic events that happened to your uncles, the brothers and sisters of your dad and the rest of his family.
You accept this immorality because you like 99% of the people in the West are the result of the prevalent mindset that dominated the world in the second half of the last century.p
A mindset based on the superhumanization of the jewish people and the dehumanization of the palestinian people.
I seriously doubt you'll be able to get rid of this mindset because it is deeply embedded into your upbringing like most people in the West.
But people who managed to get rid of the dehumanization of the palestinian people, like Tinmore and I, have to draw the line here, FY:
We would wholeheartdly support a jewish homeland where the security of the jewish people is on the hands of the jews where it doesn't depend on the charity of the goyim but without discrimination of any other people native to the homeland where the state is created.
I can't speak for Tinmore but from what I can gather from his posts I think he wouldn't oppose a non-supremacist homeland for the jewish people either.
Show us a jewish state that does not murder the other ethnic groups of the land when they tried to move about and I'm sure we will both immediately support it.
I tell you all this so that you understand that I'm not opposed to the idea of a homeland for your people, on the contrary I would be an ardent supporter of it, provided no ethnic supremacism were involved.
There is a very simple test you can do to see if a given person criticizes Israel out of anti-semitism or not, to see what motivates their criticism.
If someone criticizes the discrimination of the palestinian people but is always making up excuses for what happened in South Africa, Nazi Germany, always lamenting the dismantlement of those white racial dictatorships than this person is clearly lambasting Israel due to a dislike or resentment towards the jewish people.
All i can say to you is that I would pass this test if it was applied to me. I dont care if the racial dictatorship was created:
1 - By the English and their descendents like 17, 18 and 19th century America.
2 - By the Dutch like Apartheid South Africa.
3 - By germans like Nazi Germany.
4 - or by Jews like Israel.
Do you remember when I dropped another of my "hydrogen bombs" on the US Message Board some time ago, when I posted pictures of South Africa under apartheid and compared them with photos from the Israeli\Palestinian border calling South Africa a white racial dictatorship?
People can "accuse" me of hating the jewish racial dictatorship and wanting to see its peaceful dismantlement.
I plead "guilty" of all these charges.
But I totally, strongly reject any accusation of unfairly targetting the racial dictatorship created by the jewish people because I criticise them all regardless of which race created them.
If you don't see me here lambasting 19th century America, Nazi Germany and South Africa everyday is simply because unlike Israel those apartheid states do not exist anymore.
