  • Your first statement of “there’s totally Christians in Palestine”

    Yes it’s true. Your own links prove I am right LOL. Not only that, many figures in Palestinian resistance are Christian. Examples: George Habash, founder of the PFLP. Shireen Abu Akleh, she was a journalist that Israelis murdered last year in cold blood.

    There’s an entire Wikipedia article about Palestinian Christians. You might learn something (I doubt it, you don’t seem to be the kind):

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Christians

    nice whataboutism, bringing up the 2nd Gulf War without addressing the very real issue in the first one

    I didn’t imagine you would have so much trouble understanding that the west has a record of justifying war with bullshit claims. The first gulf war was due to, supposedly, Saddam’s involvement in Kuwait and doing horrendous things. It was later proven that the woman who testified in front of the UN to justify this war was lying. More here:

    I chose not to continue arguing your other points

    “I only cherry pick the arguments I may have a chance not looking stupid responding to”. I am sorry to break it to you, you look just as stupid in all the arguments, and your cherry picking is not a good look.

    You said you would stop replying yet here you are. I urge you to stop wasting my time and spreading misinformation.

    Last thing I’ll add: you’ve started to engage in adhom attacks. I’m going to let it pass since I personally don’t care, and imo you only embarrass yourself doing them. But if I see you doing that with anyone else in this community, I’ll have to ban you. So please keep your insulting in check.


  • At least bother looking some of this stuff up…

    I’m not sure which part of those statistics you think contradicts what I said. Can you please quote which part of what I said contradicts it? Your statistics confirm what I said. Go back and read what I said.

    These guys seem like complete nutcases, secular or not.

    Is this an argument? I am going to ignore it because I find no substance here, but if there’s something I’m missing, let me know.

    Also they are by no means politically popular, as opposed to Hamas and Fatah.

    They were very popular before Hamas became the only group left fighting. Check out the PLO, of which they were a part of. Many of the prominent Palestinian figures were part of PFLP as well.

    It’s not bad faith at all, they literally have eradicating Israel as their mission goal.

    I literally just explained to you why it’s not. Feel free to argue my points directly, rather than restate the same statement I already disproved.

    Iraq wanted to kill everyone in Israel with nerve gas in the 90s, that’s why the first golf war happened

    And the second gulf war happened because of their WMDs. We all know how the state department narrative was correct without any issues at all, right? Right?

    Yet I dare you to look up any imagery from the last 72 hours and tell me that you prefer the approach that Palestine is taking in Gaza.

    Do you want to see the Palestinian child that was burned alive by Israeli fire? I can provide you a link.

    I’m not going to bother to continue

    That’s good. I prefer if you don’t. It’s not a good look. Please don’t spread misinformation elsewhere either.


  • You can only be talking about Palestine here, right? There is limited Muslim representation in Israel and no jewish representation in Palestine

    Israel is a Jewish theocracy by its own admission. Palestine has Muslims and Christians. Palestine was never ruled by a theocracy. The most popular groups have always been secular (example: PFLP). Even the Palestinian Authority is secular.

    Whatever “muslim” representation there is in Israel, it is as good as none and does not change that it is an exclusive theocracy. Literally there is no equivalent to their religious exclusivism in any Muslim-majority nation. It is only matched by militant groups like ISIS.

    Meanwhile I have no doubts that if Palestine had a button that would make all jews evaporate, they’d not hesitate to push it in an instant.

    Source? This is an extremely bad faith argument. “A is genocidal. B has never done so. But I’m sure B would if they could, so that means A is justified!”. Please read that again and tell me you don’t see how ridiculous it sounds.

    And you don’t have to hypothesize. Before Israel was created, and during the increase of Jewish migrations in the 19th century and early 20th, Arabs never enacted any genocide against the Jews or did what Israel does today. In fact, European Jews found it to be a safe haven in comparison to Europe.

    Hamas is massively antisemitic

    Hamas only garners support because it is the only group left putting up a fight. It was never popular before that. But because of that, it has many non-Hamas-ians joining its ranks, and many of them reiterate their support for living peacefully among Jews.

    And its important to point out that Hamas only climbed up to this position because of Israeli support more than a decade ago. This is Israel’s own admission. They did not want progressive groups leading the resistance, and propped up Hamas instead. I’d be happy to cite you Israeli officials saying this.

    even the more moderate part of Palestine seems to condone the military push

    That doesn’t mean they’re anti Semitic. The operation primarily targeted military installations, soldiers and officials. It is resistance against the Israeli state. So supporting this operation is being opposed to the Israeli state, not because they wish to evaporate all Jews. That’s ridiculous.

    This situation is massively more complex than the Russo Ukraine war and there is no obvious good guy you can point to.

    It is quite the opposite. Russia-Ukraine involves two States with crimes on their records, and I only side with Ukraine because Russia is the aggressor. But Ukraine is far from being a good guy. Israel-Palestine is an apartheid state against stateless people getting murdered and expelled from their lands, and their best fight is minor incursions on the border. It is very much a one-sided fight.




  • can anyone rightfully claim it the land belongs to “Palestine”

    You should tell that to Israel, which is expelling Palestinians from this land every week for decades. It is not the Palestinians who are claiming the land exclusively to themselves and expelling others from it. It is Israel doing that. I find it crazy that you somehow argue this as if Palestine is doing that.


  • all this land is my country’s, the other country should not exist.

    One of those countries is an ethno-religious state that is exclusive of the other. Can you guess which one?

    If you are an ethno-religious exclusivist who says “your country shouldn’t exist only mine!” and I am a country that multi-religious, and say “actually my country should be the prevailing one, not your exclusivist one”, you gotta realize those two are massively different, unlike you portray.

    The Russo-Ukranian conflict is clear. One leader is claiming the land of the other

    Russia’s original pretext for the war is not about territorial gains. It was supposedly regarding Ukraine’s attack on Donetsk, Luhansk, and ethnic Russian populations in general (such as the Odessa massacre), what they also called “de-nazification” of the Ukrainian government, and Ukraine’s bid to join NATO. This is easily verifiable, but I can provide you a sources on this if you doubt me.

    I am not claiming what Russia is saying is true, but it is not what you make it seem to make your argument.

    EDIT: based on another commenter, OP’s claim isn’t even factual.

    And it took the US until 1996 (after fall of USSR)? Not to mention that it was capitalism (General Motors) that spread the hoax about leaded gasoline being safe, under the guise of scientific research in 1921.

    This is not the gotcha you think it is.


  • iOS is fully proprietary, so while some might argue that it is more private, it is almost impossible to know. What we do know is that it isn’t private, and apple has a track record against privacy.

    I think comparing the two platforms from a privacy perspective is pointless. You’re not going to be private either way. Might as well focus on other factors.
