100x less than the Valdez?

Yeah, I have a number of “progressive” friends who are calling for violent resistance, etc. I find the idea to be pretty specious, they’re just the opposite side of the coin to the alt-right, it’s not actually about making a more compassionate and livable world but about which side is on top.

Left to their own devices means nuking a neighbor or two to avoid invasion. That should really help global politics.

In regards to the Six Day War: when someone mobilizes forces along your border, and makes it pretty damn clear that they’re going to attack, you don’t consider it self-defense to preemptively attack? You actually have to wait until they kill some of your people? That’s pretty fucked up man. Every historian…

Bullshit; no one is actually arguing this point. There are trump supporters (and equivalents all over europe) actively quoting Hitler, and this clown you are responding to doesn’t even have an argument (he cites no facts, just conclusions he has made, based on whatever — things you both have agreed are true, even…

No, I would. I don’t live in Russia, never been there, don’t speak the language. I might have my opinions about their political situation but I’m not about to explain to a Russian person what’s wrong with their country. In a hypothetical situation I might express my reservations, but wouldn’t be willing to just…

No, I’m just saying that if you want to avoid coming off as an anti-semite (which I’m assuming you do) it’s a good idea to listen to what Jewish people have to say and accept that they probably have a more complex and/or full perspective on the issue as you do.

Oh, the upper-level military and the intelligences agencies hate his guts, and aren’t even really quiet about it.

I am years beyond worrying about what others think of criticizing the government of Israel, and I thought most folks were, too.

This story is sooo 1998. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict isn’t special anymore, it’s just one of many horrifying situations being covered in the news. What’s going on in Syria, Turkey, and Egypt is all bigger news now. Israel is just one of many countries with violent unrest, and needs to come up with an action plan…

If you watch this, its pretty obvious none of the heads of Shin Bet really respected him:

This is becoming the new straw man for this debate; few people truly believe that criticisms of Israel are equivalent to anti-Semitism on their own. However, let me ask you this: Where are the widespread college campus movements to boycott products made in China? Or for our continuing support of Saudi Arabia? Or to…

I think the unfortunate thing is that lots of people who speak out against Israel unfortunately do employ anti-semitic rhetoric. I’m not even talking about Muslims. The worst I’ve encountered has been from WASPs who want to portray Jews as “just as bad as the rest of us” so they don’t have to feel bad about…

I’d have to concur. No nation has a right to exist. Nations, like corporations, are human inventions created to serve human purposes. They are not separate, autonomous entities. People have a right to pursue (although not necessarily attain) political self-determination. The existence of nations is the expression of…

It’s so weird how you felt so incredibly uncomfortable to share something plainly obvious and something that shouldn’t be controversial...and that’s the crux of the problem, really.

There may be those who make such an assertion.

*der Horror-Clown (not that it matters, just being a ... wait for it ... grammar Nazi)

“You are a group of people who’s existence is opposed by pretty much everyone but the nations who have the ability to annhilate anyone who takes a shot at you.

It doesn’t seem like his hopes will be born out, however.

Fuck, man, I’m starting to think Putin might be the anti-Christ.
