team overhead smash posted:How is that different from the IDF's indiscriminate killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians? Is it simply the fact that the IDF do so with high-tech weaponry like bombs and artillery that isn't available to police forces and so are able to murder on a far larger scale? I think we all know that killing people with high-tech weapons (preferably American made) is 100% A-OK. It's throwing stones at people that's intolerable. </sarcasm>

team overhead smash posted:Israel isn't a natural ally except in the sense that there are a lot of evangelical Christians in the USA who want to support it to help bring about the end times or whatever. In strategic terms, Israel is a liability if anything and the US allies with it mostly due to internal political concerns as Israel is popular with the American public. Israel is also a large (although not at all sole) recipient of US military "assistance", about $2bn a year, which in turn comes back to feed the maw of our voracious military industrial complex. We also partner with the Israelis on intelligence and weapon development - although getting them in the F-35 doesn't seem like much of a favor.

I'm sure they could go faster if they threw on more dogs. The UN and ICC business is what really drove home Israeli insincerity to me. The long slow maneuvering of international diplomacy seems vastly preferable to the violence of guerilla terrorism...if your goal is to reach a resolution.

Kim Jong Il posted:Not all, just the pro-ethnic cleansing BDS movement and similar radical groups not supported by mainstream Palestinian organizations. This is indeed a grave threat, given the Palestinian's large standing army, sophisticated weapons industry, unfailing support of the world's superpower and nuclear arsenal.

Cugel the Clever posted:Wait, are you saying that removing the illegal Israeli settlers from the West Bank is tantamount to ethnic cleansing? Are you advocating for a one-state solution? This is his schtick. Anything short of the most retrograde ultra- conservative position is genocidal. It's the international relations version of "You're oppressing me by not letting me discriminate against gay people"

Because the reality is this poo poo isn't going to stop until both sides decide to put down their hate. I'm guessing that won't happen before Gaza's water supply runs out.

The sustained protest and boycott movement in the US and Europe certainly helped delegitimize the South African regime, so it could work against Israel. This is why we must repeal the 1st amendment and outlaw such behavior!

FlamingLiberal posted:One Palestinian woman activist who was interviewed on Chapo Trap House recently said that she believes the only path forward is a one-state solution and that a two-state solution is effectively impossible now thanks to the settlements. I had not previously agreed with that point but she makes a strong case that even if you had an agreement right now, you could not build a viable Palestinian state. Hasn't this been true since the 90s, early 2000s at the latest?

Cat Mattress posted:Nobody, nobody has any reason to fire missiles at a zoo and to shoot caged lions. The people who choose to do that are irredeemable psychopathic monsters. That they then choose to do some concern trolling about animals accidentally killed by an uncontrolled fire just shows the depth of their depravity. Clearly they weren't caged lions, they were terror cats.

This is Cardin's baby, but even so I've called his office several times to give him a piece of my mind. At least I hope it damages the position of the Israel-is-always-right crowd, since this kind of move proves it isn't defensible on its own.

FlamingLiberal posted:I’m pretty sure it’s unconstitutional just like those laws in some states that make you sign a pledge not to boycott Israel when you are being employed by the state. The problem is that there has to be a court case to knock it down first. It’s just incredible to me that our government is doing these kinds of things for a foreign country. Well, good thing our courts are fair and just and not stacked with right-wing ideologues.
