  • they can’t see nuance

    Na, they got something else going on.

    I’ve already gotten a few to explicitly say that the people mascaraed on October 7thdeserved it” or" “the Jews zionists did it”. Not to mention the few people who said “peace with the Jew zionist is impossible” and then follow up by citing the PLO’s One-State solution as the way to create “peace”.

    I’m not arguing with them to win, I hope my comments are more of a counter point for reasonable people reading these comments. Not sure how well it works, but oh well.

    As I see it Biden couldn’t disarm Israel as Israel disarmed would be obliterated, and that’s political suicide in America

    Yep, and without a reasonable administration Israel will face zero opposition to the actions they are taking and want to take.

    That is why I don’t care about ‘winning’ these arguments.

    And also sometimes, I’m just pissed that these people view this conflict in black and white, at best.



  • People in this context appears to be plural, thus I don’t see how Montreal_Metro’s take is Great Man Theory.

    The system sets the conditions of who is going to be empowered or rewarded for their actions and positions.

    Ultimately, any system is operated by mere mortals who will arbitrarily reward and punish people based on their own bias, morals and desires. Systems only work so long as the people manning them follow the rules. Systems only last if the people running it punish rule breakers.

    According to all of history, corruption, apathy, and pure human greed and ingenuity will gradually eat away any system, economic and political, until it collapses. Only for the failing system to be replaced by a “better” system, which begins the cycle again.

    the only way out for Palestinians has proven to be violence against their oppressors.

    Bullshit.

    In an effort to acknowledge a continued commitment to the Palestinian cause on the part of the Saudi leadership, Saudi Arabia and the United States sought concessions from Israel on issues related to the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. As the possibility of an imminent deal gained plausibility in August–September, the Palestinian Authority also became involved in discussions with Saudi Arabia and the United States in an effort to gain sway over the deal’s final shape. But concerns remained that the Palestinians’ grievances in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would remain unresolved and that they would lose a key point of leverage if Saudi Arabia normalized ties with Israel. On October 7, Hamas orchestrated a devastating assault on Israel in part to disrupt the deal from taking place.
