Should Israel be our ally?

Kill journalist ✅Attack her mourners ✅

They need an intervention on democracy

Nah…they’re doing just fine.

There is a famous thing at the Palestinians put down their arms right now there would be peace in Israel if the Jews put down their arms right now there would be no Jews left.

The aggressors are the Palestinians not the Jews.

[EmbraceThePain]

THIS point is the MOST important distinction

Honestly, nothing better can be said and nothing the opposing side can say can negate this

[Stoner710]

@EmbraceThePain well I appreciate that, I’m not a Jew my self but at least two of my favorite political/cultural commentators are conservative jew and orthodox jew ( or they’re both orthodox I don’t know one of them will drive a car do something a synagogue) Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager. So unfortunately my knowledge of Judaism is limited but I support Israel from what I do know

[Lord_Saddler]

"The aggressors are the Palestinians not the Jews."

And here's how your brain works when you have schizophrenia, kids.

[Stoner710]

@Lord_Saddler I don't have schizophrenia maybe you do or maybe you just hate Jews who knows

[Lord_Saddler]

"I don't have schizophrenia maybe you do or maybe you just hate Jews who knows"

Sounds exactly like what a schizophrenic person would say.

[EmbraceThePain]

@Lord_Saddler

Not really

[EmbraceThePain]

“Not really.”

Sounds exactly like what a schizophrenic person would say.

[Stoner710]

@EmbraceThePain yea you sounds exactly like the The anti-somatic Palestinian supporters I talk to you on a daily basis

I think we should cease all foreign aid until America is truly the best country in the world.

[OddBeMe]

Lots of global corporations will have cutbacks due to foreign countries not doing well because we cut their aid. Why doesn’t anyone understand this?

[Juxtapose]

Fuck globalism and fuck corporations. The government has already bailed them out, they can take a hit for the good of the people.

[Juxtapose]

You know who would do really well if that foreign money went to the USA instead? Americans.

[Juxtapose]

*foreign aid money

[Juxtapose]

Britain decoupling itself from the EU cost them in the short term but benefits them in the long term.

[OddBeMe]

It’s like everyone I just said was completely ignored…

[Juxtapose]

Like I said, I view this as a short-term cost for a long-term benefit. Let's look at the big picture here man.

[OddBeMe]

Short term, we lose a lot of global trade…corporations decrease employment, govt gets less tax money…

Not seeing the upside. And by the way, UK hasn’t either.

[Juxtapose]

The E. U is a complete disaster. I have a friend in Germany who will tell me that when the German government wants to get something passed that the people will not vote on, they will get the E. U to do it instead and then shrug their shoulders and say they have no choice but to follow the E. U.

The United Kingdom was very wise in leaving that awful organization.

[Juxtapose]

The long-term benefit is that America can actually invest in itself. Any trade partners that would drop us just because we're not giving them free shit are bad trade partners by the way.

[OddBeMe]

I can’t speak to that. But like any trade Union the majority will rule. I just don’t se the upside in the UK quitting their euro trade Union just because they hate immigrants.

by the way, google registered millions of searches “what is Brexit” …after the vote.

[OddBeMe]

Do you think America can be an autarky? Be completely self reliant with no exports or imports?

[Juxtapose]

The reasons for leaving the European Union was for sovereignty, economics is not as important as having basic freedoms.

We can still have imports and exports without giving away free stuff. But maybe we could make it on our own? I'm not the person to ask.

[OddBeMe]

If you’re not the person to ask (and neither are most UKers) why would we leave it you all to decide? Shouldn’t economists and politcal scientists decide?

[Juxtapose]

The citizens are the one putting the bill so the citizens should be the one to decide. The governments of the world have too much power over their citizens and should remember their place as the citizens loyal servants.

[Juxtapose]

*footing the bill

[OddBeMe]

But we don’t know the facts. How are we supposed to decide when we won’t even google the issue before voting?

[EmbraceThePain]

You have any typos in what you just wrote?


Maybe it’s just me but I’m not understanding what you wrote

[OddBeMe]

Kill journalist (check)
Attack her mourners (check)

[EmbraceThePain]

Meant for @Stoner710

[Stoner710]

You know the Palestinians would kill a journalist and then blame the Jews right? The reality is externalists was killed by a straight bullet and neither side has any idea on which side fire the shot. The Palestinians as usual started their act of terror the is really government pod back and somebody got killed like I said if the Jews let down their arms right now they would not be as you left at the Palestinians let down their arms right now they would be peace in the Middle East or at least as far as Israel’s concerned

[OddBeMe]

@Stoner710 I wouldn't assume it, though.

[jshm2]

Since when has the occupying state of Israel been anyone's friend?

It's like that shit entitled uncle, who only shows up when he's fucked up something, or wants something for free.

[Anonymous]

Well we are Allied with Egypt. A place that gang rapes journalists.
Look at how any Muslim country treats non-Islamic minorities...

[OddBeMe]

Good point. I can say israel has a better record than Egypt but that’s a low bar. I guess I’m just disappointed in Issy

[Lord_Saddler]

The Apartheid State of Israel is enemy of humanity.

[OddBeMe]

Let’s not go overboard. That’s how these arguments of apartheid legislation get swept way.

[msc545]

Only if you don't mind an Ally who is also a terrorist.
