I knew how Bill was going to view the conflict. Ever since the movie Religiosity the man has made no secret his disdain for those that oppress people with religious fundamentalism. He just doesn’t vacillate on the topic out of a sense of tribalism like so many do. If you’re against it, you’re against it everywhere

Still can’t get over my hardcore progressive leftist friend’s brain getting tangled in knots saying “well, some cultures don’t mind being [religiously] oppressed”. Like what? Howwww? Like the trick is you just have to wait a few generations of doing it until people think it’s the only way to live? Just say you support Muslim religious fundamentalists only because tribalism. Trying to explain “well it’s ok for these people here, but not these people over here” just sounds crazy

And Bill does make some good points that sexual harassment of women, spousal rape, domestic violence, and child marriage are not prosecuted there

Ouch, hits with the “there’s no such thing as a moderate Republican” jab at the end though

God damn that's like my enlightenment post from a week or two ago, and I can't even go back and compare because it got deleted. Really takes the wind out of my sails to do anything but shitpost

yea here it is, cached by google:

Quote:
The Enlightenment was one of the best things to ever happen to humanity, it is the Western political legacy, and theocratic-Islamic societies like Palestine are wholly incompatible with that. Israel and Palestine have both done horrible things, but only one of them at least attempts to be a modern liberal democracy as well as an ally of the West. That alone should be enough of an impetus to not go waving Palestinian flags in the court of global public opinion and discourse. Just totally antithetical to US interests. And it doesn't matter how much of a contrarian, subversive political hipster you are-- fundamentally, Western interests are the path that leads to greater justice and liberation, when pitted against Islamic theocracy.
Bam! Fuck those maher writers ripping me off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do you support Free Palestine and the Hamas terrorist Oct 7 attack on Israel that involved rape of women and abduction of children, Smoofers?

If so then you are an anti-semite and you have zero moral standing on this matter.

The palestinians are oppressed more by other arabs, the arab world, and the government they chose to elect (hamas) than anything israel has ever done ever. It's not even remotely close, it's an incredibly easy moral question and the only people who have a problem with this analysis are moral relativist idiots.

Hamas violated the ceasefire. There was a perfectly functional ceasefire in place until oct 7th. Take it up with hamas if you want a ceasefire, and maybe tell them to stop being bloodthirsty religious lunatics.

Gosh guys which side should I support?? the cut the heads off the babies side or the let's not do that side?! This is really tough! It's like one of those infomercials where all the plates fall out of the cupboard I can sort this mess out!!

It’s a bit more complicated than that but yes, Hamas is learning that when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes

Thousands of Jewish nationalists, some of them chanting “Death to Arabs” and other racist slogans, paraded on Thursday through the main Palestinian thoroughfare of Jerusalem’s Old City, in an annual display that caused new friction between Jews and Palestinians in the tense city.

Israel’s national security minister, far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, joined the march later Thursday, his first time participating as a Cabinet member. Ben-Gvir is a leading figure in Israel’s new far-right government

The parade helped fuel an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.

Jordan, Israel’s neighbor which acts as a custodian of the Jerusalem shrine, condemned the Jewish visits there and the trajectory of the march.
never once (not annually)?
