> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Where? Where is this information recorded that it’s supposed to be so easy for me to find? I know that talking to an “Expert” about basic logic is wasted when he’s getting his hate on, but the point is that you find the information first and _then_ make the accusation, not make the accusation and say you believe it because you’re so bigoted against the group in question and it’s just unfortunate that you don’t have any actual proof to back up your hate. > [@Guinastasia](#): > > They make him a sleaze – they do not make him a rapist. Seriously, what part of “under the law in question, dishonesty used to convince someone to have sex is rape by deception” is confusing you? You do know that other nations actually have their own laws, right? > [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > Your arguments made more sense when you used to try to compare Israel’s action with arab actions. Yah… you’re making that up. > [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > When do I admit that I am an anti-Israeli bigot (BTW, when you say anti-Israeli bigot, do you mean anti-semite?)? It’s interesting just how easily you, repeatedly, manage to ‘forgot’ inconvenient facts. Like how you repeated something like a half dozen times how the UN created Israel and one of the ways you knew this to be true was that the Arab armies attacked on the very day that the Partition was supposed to go into effect. But then it was pointed out that, no, those events were months apart. So you repeated your fiction, several times in fact. Each time changing it just a bit. You knew you were right, because the Arabs attacked the day before the Partition went into effect? No? Months before? Okay then, you knew you were right because they attacked the day after the Partition was supposed to into effect? No? Months before. Okay, then you knew you were right because… No, of course, after you admitted to instintually filtering any and all information through your standard anti-Israel mindset (also known as “bigotry”) and that you had to fight to actually analyze the facts and not just fit them into reasons why you hated Israel (for which you blamed me, naturally), you’ve totally forgotten it. What luck! Here, let me remind you. > [@Moderators seem biased \[Moved to the Pit for continued inter-poster bickering\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/moderators-seem-biased-moved-to-the-pit-for-continued-inter-poster-bickering/541820/64): > > I don’t think I used to be a knee-jerk Israel criticiser but Finn is quickly turning me into one. I don’t sepdn time slowly digesting new facts into my gestalt of what is going on in the middle east, instead I find myself trying to fifure out how new facts can be incorporated into a narrative against Israel and I have to make a conscious effort to retain objectivity and that really bothers me. I don’t think this was the case before I encountered Finn. Naturally, you’re bigoted against Israel, and it’s all my fault. That’s right up there with “Sure I don’t have a natural revulsion to black people, but it’s their fault, a bunch of black kids once robbed me!” > [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > Yes!!! Raging anti-Israel bigotry is EVERYWHERE, the only possible reason anyone could possibly criticize Israel is because they are bigots. Yah, you’re making that up too. Dio decides that Isreal simply must be horrible because no court in Israel would prosecute and no part of the justice system would bring suit if it was a Jewish man who tricked an Arab woman into having sex, and he knows this because, well, he just knows that the Israelis are bad, bad people. And his hate is enough for him. And you, habitually taking all new informationand finding ways to work it into your anti-Israel worldview, why, your’re shocked, shocked you say at why someone might call you a bigot. Why, if you and Dio are bigots, then everybody who criticizes Israel must be! Of course, I’ve criticized Israel, Jack’s criticized Israel, Malthus has criticized Israel, Captain Amazing has criticized Israel, DSeid has… and none of them are bigots.
