253. We should work to find peaceful solutions.

We keep hearing how Iran wants to obliterate Israel, and yet there are Jews living in Iran. I have not heard that they are being exterminated, have you? So it isn't Jews who are the problem - and we should be careful about playing the anti-semitic card whenever an organization threatens or attacks Israel. To say Jews are the problem fails to address the issue because obviously Jews can live in peace in the nation that is supposedly planning to destroy Israel. To find peace, one must start by understanding what the problem is. What do you think the problem is? Do you think the Israel foreign policy is a problem to its neighbors and nearby enemy? Do you think American policy has anything to do with it? Do you think modern day Zionism is the problem? Or do you think it can all be explained away by saying it is hatred of Jews?

Anti-palestinians have watered "antisemitism" into meaninglessness - as camouflage	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#204

For the most part I find your assertions baseless	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#218
Of course you do. And no specifics, of course.....	shira	Dec 2012	#220
Shira is wrong about these organizations because Shira provides no evidence	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#235
I've provided plenty of evidence....	shira	Dec 2012	#240

And FreeGaza's current board all support her. In fact, Greta Berlin remains on the board.....	shira	Dec 2012	#263
You're right, I didn't respond to that.	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#276

Bunk.	aranthus	Dec 2012	#228
I don't agree that Zionism only means the continued existence of Israel.	Democratopia	Dec 2012	#234
Now I see where you're going. You assume we're against criticism of Israel....	shira	Dec 2012	#238
But that isn't what Zionism is.	aranthus	Dec 2012	#244
Zionism was a movement to give the Jewish people a safe haven. They have that. The Zionist movement	Democratopia	Dec 2012	#246
Respectfully, you don't get to define Zionism. n/t	aranthus	Dec 2012	#249
well then why don't you define Zionism for us n/t	azurnoir	Dec 2012	#252
From Dictionary.com	aranthus	Dec 2012	#257
well the poster you were addressing seems to fit that description	azurnoir	Dec 2012	#259
That isn't as important as you think.	aranthus	Dec 2012	#265
yes it is important because how can one support Israel's existence	azurnoir	Dec 2012	#266
You support Israel within the green line, but with RoR ensured....	shira	Dec 2012	#270
Thank you for proving my point	azurnoir	Dec 2012	#271
Thank you Azurnoir.	Democratopia	Dec 2012	#283
oops	King_David	Dec 2012	#295
Your point being that you didn't mention you're for RoR into Israel....	shira	Dec 2012	#301
lol no one in this conversation save you has mentioned RoR	azurnoir	Dec 2012	#302
Oh? Am I wrong? Suddenly you're not for RoR anymore??? n/t	shira	Dec 2012	#303
That's the argument made in the OP, however	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#237
It isn't just a dismissal of other Jews, but a dismissal of a religion and of a democracy,	Democratopia	Dec 2012	#248
oops	King_David	Dec 2012	#297
As I said to another poster, you don't get to define Zionism.	aranthus	Dec 2012	#250
I can't believe you would bring ethnicity into this. In fact, I am appalled.	Democratopia	Dec 2012	#255
It's about ideas of a movement.	aranthus	Dec 2012	#256
I am saying that others have redefined Zionism - it is not me who is defining it.	Democratopia	Dec 2012	#267
There are many different varieties of Zionism, aranthus	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#268
Yes, of course.	aranthus	Dec 2012	#274
I just go by what the loudest "Pro-Israeli" people keep telling me	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#280
Zionism is NOT about there not being a Palestinian homeland.	shira	Dec 2012	#272
Iget it from you, Shira	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#281
No, you really don't. Do you think those claiming "disputed territory"....	shira	Dec 2012	#288
Ahhh, the trolley problem! Sort of. In a stunted fashion.	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#311
You cheated.	shira	Dec 2012	#313
No, I pointed out the inconsistency of your argument	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#314
Okay then....so let's make it more similar	shira	Dec 2012	#316
Except that's still not similar; there are alternate choices.	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#317
No, there aren't alternate choices. He has already started firing away....	shira	Dec 2012	#318
The thought experiment is not a good mirror of reality, Shira	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#319
While you were typing, 2 more kids were shot dead...	shira	Dec 2012	#320
What do I do?	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#321
What you just did was let the shooter kill dozens....	shira	Dec 2012	#322
because your example was stupid and far removed from reality.	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#323
You were in a lose-lose situation. And you chose for dozens to be killed....	shira	Dec 2012	#324
You can't keep your story straight, Shira	Scootaloo	Dec 2012	#325
So the Jews I know who are anti-Zionist are anti-Semitic? Bullfuckingshit. Your post is hatespeech.	MotherPetrie	Dec 2012	#233

No surprise coming from you. You're for Palestinian nationalism....	shira	Dec 2012	#286
I am for Palestinian self determination which you redefine as nationalism	azurnoir	Dec 2012	#289
If Hamas runs the show for a Palestinian state, that's perfectly okay with you....	shira	Dec 2012	#299
No it isn't	intaglio	Dec 2012	#326
