There is a big difference between “collateral damage to civilians who don’t leave a warzone after a week of warnings” and “breaking into someone’s home in the middle of the night and executing an entire family for no reason.”

My god how ignorant can you be. Netanyahu DOES NOT want a two-state solution. Fatah, which controls the West Bank, does. They have been willing to negotiate. They have cooperated with Israel on security options. They have done everything “right” according to what the western world says it wants. Their reward has been…

Facts: the average Gazan is 18 years old and was one when that election took place. No elections have taken place in Gaza since

Likud hasn’t exactly done a lot to win them over, have they? You think cutting off their power, water, economy, and ability to travel endeared Israel to Gaza’s residents? When ‘settlers’ marched through Arab neighborhoods destroyed shops, when they tore out olive trees standing for generations, when they illegally buil…

The ethnic cleansing of Palestine has been going on non-stop since 1948. When is it ok for people to speak up and say the deliberate targeting of civilians is a war crime? When would you grant that permission? When they’re all dead and gone I suppose. 

Condemning Israel for committing war crimes is antisemitic? What do you call the countless Jews who have called out Bibi, Likud, and the “settlers” for a decades-long campaign of ethnic cleansing and provocation?

2006 was 17 years ago. The average age in Gaza is 18 years old. Most of the people the IDF is trying to genocide into oblivion did not choose Hamas because they weren’t old enough to vote.

That is a total mischaracterization of what she did.  She condemned killing of innocents by anyone.  How on earth is that a controversial take?

It’s almost as if “being an adult for many years” leads to “making adult decisions about your life”.

Oh I think it’s very clear why they are doing this. Old Benji wants a genocide and the Israeli government can’t let all these high visibility celebrities influence their followers with things like reason and empathy. It unmuddies the water they’ve worked so hard to keep dirty. I can’t begin to tell you how many people…

“He said there was a 5% chance he might be president someday,”

Can’t wait to see her don a red robe and white hood to show the world that “together, women can do anything!!!”

Imagine reading the Scarlet Letter and thinking the takeaway is “we must never criticize powerful women”.

“I’m wearing the scarlet letter after the week that I just had, last week, being a woman up here and being demonized for my vote and for my voice.”

Self Aggrandizing Asshole comes to mind.

My comment has nothing to do with the book— it seems interesting. I just need to point out to you that often gray commenters are better informed than the writers and approved commenters across these blogs. Not everyone is a troll. The elitist attitude of being an approved commenter sucks and being approved says…

Oh great, now I have yet another book to add to my year-of-reading backlog.

Tell us you don’t know what irony means without telling us you don’t know what irony means.

But when it comes to the issue of life, look, this is a delicate issue.
