Political Discussion
Just because it bothers you doesn't mean it is a problem. |
As it happens I sent quite a lot of mail to my elected officials about Yemen in the 2017-19 years. Thank you for asking. And I also didn’t support U.S. sales of weapons to Saudi, and didn’t vote for Trump. Biden has a year before the election to listen to what the voters he needs to win are saying. Thanks for asking though. You’ve identified my very strict foreign policy criteria of “bombing and starving children is bad”. I can’t believe that constitutes a bleeding heart position these days. |
Your whole argument is that Jews are just so terribly inherently evil, of course they will steal organs. If you think a person or group is the definition of evil, where evil literally flows from, everything that is bad on earth flows from them. |
I’m not who you’re quoting, but it sounds more like their argument is “IDF has admitted to organ theft in the past, there are now additional allegations of organ theft which are unanswered” but your version is quite a lot more dramatic. |
Everyone involved is white. Having an olive skin tone doesn't change that. Or maybe people with olive skin should be their own race, since they love to be called POC when they are not getting what they want, but want to be called white when compared to black people. If Muslims in Michigan only care about what goes on "back home" that is a judgment on them. |
Not not drama, he said "If you can steal Palestinian land and lives, why would you not steal Palestinian organs". If they are X, why not this activity that only an X can do? |
I’m Jewish, and I’m voting based on this issue. I’m not alone. Many Jews, especially younger Jews, cannot accept what Israel is doing. Biden and Blinken backed the wrong horse and need to step down. |
If you cared about babies you would ask Hamas to surrender. Will you be ok with Israel existing as an independent state? No, you won't. That is why you are so so concerned about U.S. funding, you think Israel would not exist w/o the funding. If only that money would go away your dream would come true! |
Actually, Trump did ask us to stand with KSA. And, if you refuse to vote for Biden... well, I guess that will show them!! It's a luxury you have, being able to be so principled. If the Democrats lose this election, you may lose that luxury. Are you relying on Canadian passports in case that comes to pass? Consequences for me but not for thee. Sadly typical. You are upset about things that are objectively terrible, but you're so hung up on looking principled that you refuse to consider the damage you can do. |
Who would you like me to ask? What is their mailing address? Do I need an international stamp? Should I specify in my note that I believe they need to surrender to the ICC so there can be a public and international accounting for their crimes to counter the astonishing amount of mis and disinformation? You let me know. I’ll get on it. In the meantime while you’re getting me that information I’ll work on influence the people facilitating the killing of children on the other side of the divide and doing so with my tax dollars. Israel will be just fine and continue to exist without U.S. money. |
Which is the exact same thing Israel says about the Palestinians. Baking babies in an oven like Little Red Riding Hood, necrophilia, 40 beheaded babies, etc. All of those things were claimed by Israel but didn't happen. All of those things were part of an argument that Palestinians are inherently evil and of course will do the most heinous acts imaginable. As you say, If you think a person or group is the definition of evil, where evil literally flows from, everything that is bad on earth flows from them. As outsiders we should all acknowledge that that rhetorical dynamic is at play for everything that comes out of the mouth of both Israeli and Hamas propagandists. |
You're giving her too much credit. Also, you sound paranoid. Which is understandable. I'm sorry it's all come to this. She doesn't want Israel not to exist. She refuses to follow the logical train of thought that leads there because she doesn't want to be responsible for anything more than the empty words: "killing babies is bad." Perhaps she read "A Modest Proposal" and thinks there's some place in the world where people think killing babies isn't bad? Or, more likely, she's never had to live in a world where killing babies in her own neighborhood was actually on the table. It's easy to take a stand for something you never have to defend. |
You really need to stop demeaning Jews by identifying them with Zionist extremists who have an acknowledged history of organ theft and many, many other crimes against humanity. You are being antisemitic. This is not who we are, either as Jews or as human beings, and we need to condemn it. |
You are very naive if you think only Palestinians and Muslims are voting based on this issue. I think your bubble is too small and too privileged for you to understand that lots of people are unhappy with the way Biden has kowtowed to Israel and has made the US complicit in the murder of innocent women and children. |
I think it's cute that you have this wide-eyed earnest belief that you writing letters will make the US divest from Israel. It speaks to your comfortable life, the luxury of your convictions. No doubt your kids walked out of school to protest for BLM, you probably send them to Quaker camp, you have a placard on your lawn that says you believe in science and support apartment buildings, although there are none in your immediate neighborhood. Perhaps you volunteer to help refugees, although your kids go to private school, not the local public, for reasons you will deflect upon if pressed. And you're willing to make sacrifices. Look at all those letters! The poor trees! I'm not mocking you to be cruel. I just wish you understood that your simplistic thinking is more damaging to others than it ever will be to you. |
