{Thread about Israel & Palestine launched from} Majority Leader Schumer Delivers Major Address On Antisemitism On The Senate Floor

What on Earth are you talking about? I ask again. Does the existence of England oppress an entire people because of the Church of England, or is it only Jews who are inherently oppressive creatures?

And you’re landing All three D’s like a champ.

Conflating “the Jew” with Zionists is anti-Semitic. As with other oppressive states, sanctions must be imposed against the state of Israel.

There is the widely held opinion that the 10/7 attack is only surpassed by the Holocaust. The situation portends to get worse.

More evidence-free assertions.

No I am not.

What is oppressive about Zionists? I am a proud Zionist, and I don’t seek to oppress anyone; I think us Jews should have a country to take care of us, and I think the Palestinians should have a country to take care of them, because peoples without a country that makes them a priority historically suffer horribly.

That’s not oppressive, unless not being able to murder me is something you find oppressive.

Delegitimization:

Demonization:

Double standard:

What is oppressive about Zionists is that they necessarily oppress the Palestinians in maintaining their state which denies the Palestinians their rights in Palestine.

A two state solution would give both Palestinians and Israelis a state.

A necessarily oppressive state is not legitimate.

In regard to the existence of Israel necessarily oppressing an entire people, the shoe fits.

How is that a double standard?

In what way is the Jewish state of Israel oppressive while the Christian state of England is not?

A two state solution would negate the Palestinians’ rights in Palestine.

If it’s oppression when Israel has a state religion, and not when other countries do it, that seems like one to me. Since your own words are that “a Jewish state is necessarily oppressive”. But a Christian or Muslim one isn’t?

No, it wouldn’t. A one state Palestine would negate the Israelis’ rights in Israel. A one state Israel would negate Palestinian rights. Two states protect everyone.

The argument is a straw man. It is not my argument. Israel is oppressive because it denies the Palestinians their rights in Palestine.

And a one state Palestine denies Israelis their rights in Israel.

A two state solution protects everyone.

A one state Palestine wouldn’t negate the Israelis’ or Palestinians’ rights in Palestine according to international resolutions and accords.

Like Iran, Iraq, Saudia Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain…

:rofl:

No thanks, I’m not gonna take the bet that Hamas and the PA will morph into humanitarians overnight.

You still haven’t answered this question, but that’s OK; you’re hitting all 3 D’s so perfectly that your motivation is crystal clear.
