Because the Palestinians don't exist as a people and the holocaust didn't happen. Pretend I said something offensive about Christians too to make it a nice even three.

If the holocaust never happened, then what were all the socks and soap bars in Nazi Germany made of?

The noble German people used every part of the Jew and that's how they were caught in the end

hey, look likes gbs 1.0 is back.
looking forward to a handful of posters generating dozens of pages arguing over stuff no one else cares about.

let me get the ball rolling: according to Smooha (1998), Neuberger (1999), and about a million other researchers in social sciences, the formal religious nature of Israel precludes the existence of a liberal or even a consensual democracy. This is true not only due to the institutional discrimination of Israeli Jews but also the occupation of the so-called "west bank" or "territories" and the lack of full democratic rights of its residents.

discuss.

IMO it's always the secular movers and devices that have real impact and religion is just a form of rhetoric to justify them, even in states where there are large groups of off-the-reservation genuine believers. Also they should have said somewhere in the Law that if you have red hair don't do the curls because God thinks it's real weird.

Actually in Israel the Zionists and political religious groups are not the same.

The former are mostly secular and have been around since the turn of the 20th century, back when they were by and large socialists influenced by the Russian revolutionary groups.
The latter are the so-called ultra-orthodox, which form a sizable percentage of the Jewish population in Israel and have an even bigger say in politics since it is VERY difficult to form a coalition government without the political parties that represent them and which they all vote for.

The cross-section of these two groups are the religious Zionists, or the modern orthodox movement. Most of the settlers are modern orthodox, but their real power is their party membership in right-wing coalition parties, not the least of which is the Likud which has been in power for most of the last twenty years.



After I wrote all this down I see we both have the same point. So feel free to disregard this post.

By this logic Saudi Arabia should be an international super-pariah that no Western country wants anything to do with, and we all know that's not the case.

Israel doesn't throw enough money around I guess.

The way the military aid works is that Israel has to spend most of it on goods from US-based defense companies.

It's basically hilariously stealthy wealth transfer from US taxpayers to certain corporations.

Well, the Republicans (religious ones, at least) will have a very vested interest in Israel from now until perpetuity, as the Muslims have to be forced out so that the Temple can be rebuilt, and then usher in the return of the Messiah. That's a big deal for the fundies, and they are anxiously awaiting the Final Judgment.

I can't believe I actually wrote that in a serious context.
