New "Squad" talking point: Boycotting Israel like boycotting Nazi Germany

Not open for further replies.
Unfortunately the only "squad" we may be talking about is a firing squad.

Do these dummies not know about Mossad?
 
I’d much rather stand behind Israel’s morality than Hamas.

Again, those on the left are not exactly known for their morality.
 
Well if Israel continues to escalate why wouldn't they? Israel may have a right to exist and to defend itself, but all too often their actions escalate and or provoke the conflict.

Wrong!

Prove it!
 
Just because you mention 2 things in a sentence doesn't mean you are saying that they are just like each other. Not that Fox news or their completely brain dead followers care.

Of course, knew from teh OP and the BS Fox news article that they spun the title to be compete fiction. Nothing she said was inaccurate. we have boycotted countries based on their civil rights violation.

Israel has plenty of them. But then again, the US has even more

False dilemma when there is also an option to stand against Israel's, Hamas' and anybody's morality whenever that morality violates the sovereignty and freedom of the local indigenous population

False Dilemma

False Dilemma
(also known as: all-or-nothing fallacy, false dichotomy*, the either-or fallacy, either-or reasoning, fallacy of false choice, fallacy of false alternatives, black-and-white thinking, the fallacy of exhaustive hypotheses, bifurcation, excluded middle, no middle ground, polarization)

Description: When only two choices are presented yet more exist, or a spectrum of possible choices exists between two extremes. False dilemmas are usually characterized by “either this or that” language, but can also be characterized by omissions of choices.
 
If they really cared about human rights violations, rather than sticking it to the Jews, there are much worse offenders than Israel that they don’t say a word about.

Yeah, like right wingers and Trumps favorites, Saudi Arabia, Russia and North Korea. Plus, now the US joins that with not only our constant murdering of civilians, promoting civil wars and arming all sides, and the concetnration camps at the border

Hamas doesn’t care if you like them, just as long as you equate Israel as being the same as them, which you seem fine with doing.

...and you live where and are doing what about them?
 
Not even attempting to be intellectually honest anymore huh? Nobody is saying that Israel is as bad as Nazi Germany the point is simply that Americans have in the past boycotted countries that violate human rights. We impose sanctions on countries if they go too far.

If people believe that Israel is violating human rights why should they not be allowed to boycott Israel? If you don't want to you don't have to, but that should be a choice that people have. That is their freedom of speech.

It's our right to point out how ****ing stupid and anti-semiitic she is, too.

Then move to guatemala.

You do not address the false dilemma I mentioned in my post. Not to mention your assumption that all Palestinians accept Hamas when in fact there is a clear antagonism between secular Palestinians in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza.

So? Does being a close ally to the US make them worse than the ones you all are typically apologists for?

No, it makes US worse, and that's the real source of the discontent. Who we treat as our favorite nations says something about our own priorities, which, to conservatives, is money and religious hegemony. Israel is a country that has used up any political capital they earned as the victims of German crimes and now represent their own brand of tyranny.

I understand, though, that Israel has special significance to American fundamentalist Christian's, who have long desired an end to the world as we know it. The right wing love of authoritarians is another stumbling block to holding Israel accountable for their crimes.

Israel is a brutal theocracy that won't admit it's either. Being in denial about themselves makes them a perfect allie to American conservatives.

I know. The US is terrible and racist at its core with people getting killed for no other reason than skin color, but we should let illegal immigrants in for some reason even though the country they’re fleeing is no less great and probably greater than the US.
 
None that are considered to be close allies of the United States. Maybe Saudi Arabia, but Democrats have been very critical of them while Trump seems to think it's perfectly fine to sell them weapons.

Obama sold weapons to Saudi Araia, too; but you were ok with that.

People like you are so typical. You criticize the good for not being perfect while letting the truly bad slide.
 
Well, most of the Democrat candidates in the primary align with pretty much with them.

They're already thrown the race gauntlet down and no one in the party dares criticize them.
 
No, that's absolutely true, and you can tell by his sentence that's exactly what he was saying unlike the way you're trying to twist Tlaib's words to mean something other than what she said.

nope not the first time she utter complete anti-Semitic nonsense. so i figure it will continue with those 4.

They can't. Race is the entirety of their platform.
 
They're the faces of the Democrat party.

I love how the same people saying she didn’t mean to equate Israel with Nazi are themselves, basically, equating Israel with Nazis.

Israel is a socialist country. Amazes me how the Leftists hate them.

It is people like you who are so typical. You refuse to criticize the bad and let it slide as long as it comes short of reaching the level of evil in Nazi Germany and in the Holocaust.
