    “Go Back to Poland,” Columbia Students Shout; But My Jewish Family is from Egypt

    "IDF" appears only once in that whole thread, in reference to their killing of Israeli hostages during the invasion of Gaza. You explicitly said "Hamas had one plan: take Israel hostages to trade for [kidnapped Palestinians]," as I quoted. That's a direct quote from the conclusion to your OP of...

    “Go Back to Poland,” Columbia Students Shout; But My Jewish Family is from Egypt

    You have in the past explicitly tried to claim of the October 7 attack - in fact started a brand new thread to claim - that "Hamas had one plan: take Israel hostages to trade for [kidnapped Palestinians]," as if the slaughter of over four times as many mostly civilian people as they kidnapped...

    “Go Back to Poland,” Columbia Students Shout; But My Jewish Family is from Egypt

    Current American nativism is a far closer comparison for the Arab nativism of the 1920s forward, though it fell somewhere between the two. Trying to cast the most recent century of a millennia-long trend of Jewish migration (and periodic bouts of oppression/expulsion) back to their cultural and...

    Similarly, the reason why militant right-wing politics prevails in Israel is a result of 50+ years (~1920s to 1970s) of escalating Palestinian and broader Arab nativism, obstructionism, aggression, warfare and openly-expressed genocidal intentions: From the 1920-21 Battle of Tel Hai, Nebi Musa...

    “Go Back to Poland,” Columbia Students Shout; But My Jewish Family is from Egypt

    I agree, but notice that you've added a conspicuous qualifier for your own country's crimes which was not present when you said that "Israel is the problem." I'm not saying that it's always wrong or illegitimate to say "America invaded Iraq" or "Israel is slaughtering Palestinians," just that we...

    “Go Back to Poland,” Columbia Students Shout; But My Jewish Family is from Egypt

    Israel is not the problem any more than Palestine is the problem; the likes of Likud and Hamas are the problem. Of course it's pretty common and legitimate to identify a country with the policies of its governing party - America invades foreign countries and props up evil governments, America...

    Okay... seems a bit harsh, especially since the other poster was you. I'll stick with merely delusional.

    Pretty sure no-one has suggested that's the case. If you were just trying to nitpick over some (merely inferred) point of semantic trivia, instinctively leaping on the single word "grant" out of some compulsive urge to beat your chest over your imagined American superiority (as is kind of...

    Odds are they weren't, and they didn't; that's part of the reason why they left the 2nd Amendment so open to interpretation. Ah yes, the 2nd Amendment "extends to all instruments that constitute bearable arms" (eg. RPGs, anti-aircraft missiles) and obviously the 'subordinate clause' about...

    Mithrae: Those that existed in their day. They obviously did not grant Americans the right to a personal nuclear arsenal; it was future generations of governments and courts that have decided what does and does not fall under the 2nd amendment right. Sorry, I'm not sure what you're disagreeing...

    Agreed; and very few gun control advocates aim to remove from the people the right to keep and bear arms, whereas almost all gun proliferation advocates agree that the right should be restricted for all of the people (eg. rocket launchers) and entirely removed from some individuals (eg. violent...

    I didn't make a muzzleloader argument: I pointed out that the claim made by another poster (that his view on 21st century firearm regulation was somehow supported by the founding fathers) was totally delusional since, obviously, they had no clue about 21st century technology and society, and the...

    The US is a full participant in genocide

    Good grief. Bosnian genocide, 1995 (Srebrenica massacre) Context: Committed by Bosnian Serbs against the Bosniak population during the Bosnian War of 1992-1995 8372 killed at Srebrenica, 25k to 33k killed more broadly 1.2 million people displaced Total 2.5 million Bosniak population (current)...

    As I noted, the 2nd Amendment would be perfectly consistent with much more well-regulated gun ownership like the laws of Canada or even Australia, more conducive to people's security and freedom, which would still be a higher potential level of firepower in private ownership than was being...
