Don't second guess yourself. You are spot on.
Ugh. Those people are the worst. Self-loathing, secular clowns that pull their Jew badge out of the closet when it's time to stand for a perceived progressive cause. As evidenced by the number of them that were wearing their Tallit incorrectly in Grand Central station a few weeks ago.
You'd be hard pressed to find a Jew who is Reformed or more practicing who would call for a ceasefire. No one at that march has seen the inside of a synagogue in 20 years.
They evidently don't realize they attacked the same police force that save Democracy on J6.Six members of law enforcement injured after pro Palestinian protests outside the DNC headquarters yesterday.

Insurrection?
Probably just a misunderstanding.
Democrats being Democrats. Suddenly, the mob turns on their masters.
Can't say we didn't warn them.
How many Palestinians do you know who don't support Hamas.
And I don't want to hear about your cousin Larry's Arab friend from Egypt.
One of my good friends is an Egyptian immigrant. He wanted out of Egypt. His view on the region and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict would probably blow your mind.
What do you mean he isn't mature? He's changed his screen name inumerable times. If that isn't a sign of maturity, then I don't know what is...
That was a mostly solid take. @BradStevens I saw it posted before, but lars was kind enough to post the transcript, which meant I could read it while I was in an insufferable conference call.Listened to this recently. Guy has an amazingly soothing podcast voice. Lays out his argument very well.

Transcript of podcast episode #340www.samharris.org
I don't necessarily agree with his theoretical model for why the Muslim world gave rise to jihadism, or how important a particular interpretation of a particular set of scriptures might be (I don't find it very relevant that Muhammad chopped off heads while Jesus didn't). But, that doesn't matter much, because he still arrives at the right conclusion, which I think is inescapable: jihadism is indeed the enemy of all modern civilization, and it must eventually be defeated. You can recognize that reality without infringing on someone's religious rights.
Well DANC liked your post, so that should be the first clue how ludicrous your assertions are...

As someone who went through grad school and studied critical theory, I don't think it's about skin color. I think it's more about East/West and North/South, and while skin color can certainly play a role in that, I think the embrace of the Palestinian cause by Marxist academic types isn't really about the brownness of their skin, and instead is more about the Europeanness and Americanness of the original Zionist leaders. Colonialism might not matter to the jihadis, but it's a huge part of the theoretical foundation of the type of thinking you're criticizing. Even when they talk about race, it's colored by colonialism - the British invade Asia and feminize Asian men; the Spanish invade Africa and kidnap people into slavery. Skin is a big part of that, but the exertion of colonial power is always at the center of it.
Critical theory =\=Critical Race Theory
I’m not a fan of either, but they aren’t equivalent.
I know they aren't, I've been trying to explain what they are to this forum for a couple of years, now. But, what you're deriding is a much broader version of CRT, which is ultimately just another implementation of a left-leaning academic school that goes back through critical theory, feminism, postcolonialism, etc. ultimately to Karl Marx.
When you have a chance will you put that in the movie and book thread? I always go back to it when I’m looking for something,
He is an antisemite pure and simple. You’re arguing with someone that hates Jews, therefore don’t waste your breath. You’re not changing his hate.
The large majority of my Jewish friends who have been posting on social media since OCT. 7 are not antiPalestinian at all. They post things like this: You can save space for the Israeli hostages and Palestinian civilians. We should be working together to save both from the existential threat that is Hamas.
the answer is no, pro-Hamas does not equal pro-Palestinian, Children or children, there is death and destruction on both sides.
I’ve read enough of his posts on the subject.
Have you chastised anyone for calling Mass a Nazi, ever?

Transcript of podcast episode #340
Your party is causing rampant hate of Jews right now. There’s no let up. It’s getting out of hand. The guy you’re defending in your rebuke of me is showing his hand as far as I am concerned. It’s time for these folks to be called out just like racists are called out.
He stood by idly while his peeps declared anyone that didn’t agree with them racists. A hypocrite of the highest order….
On the contrary, I think interpretation of the scripture is vital.
When one of the planners of the Peshawar school massacre tells investigators that they did all those kids a favor because they went to paradise while they were still pure of heart, and that anyone who didn’t believe as the perpetrators did would never understand, I think that’s pretty damned important in explaining how and why the massacre happened.
That’s how they interpret the scripture. That’s why, in their eyes, what they did was not only acceptable, it was actually COMMENDABLE.
There’s also the fact, as Harris points out, that Jesus and Buddha never did anything but instruct people to love one another.
Like the summer of love when democrats burned a police station, burned businesses, looted businesses and assaulted people, all was good.
Now no democratic outrage over these types of things being caused by attitudes like the attitudes of some on here.

I'm an amateur historian at best, but haven't other militaries used suicide attacks? Japan, NV/VC in Vietnam. I could be wrong, but I thought part of the reason Palestinians used suicide bombings is limited resources.
That seems very relevant to me.
Do certain posters on here have to turn every discussion into an attack on posters and a crude right/left fight? There was a good discussion taking place.Like the summer of love when democrats burned a police station, burned businesses, looted businesses and assaulted people, all was good.

No it wasn’t. I’ve heard your Jewish hate enough the last few days. You can only say it so many ways.
That is a ridiculous accusation. Critical of Israel? Sure. I'm not a prejudiced person.
Do you have anything to add other than going after posters? I'm going to guess no.
Sure you are; you're prejudiced against religious people. You've written it all here.
Ironically, the Palestinians as a group are more religious than the Israelis. Palestinian authorities lock up atheists, while Israel has a large percentage of them.
I'm a big believer in the 1A. People can believe whatever they want to, as long as they are peaceful and leave it out of the government. I don't automatically dismiss people or their opinions just because they are a certain religion. I am not a fan of organized religion or the harm/violence it has done to humanity. I do find religion interesting.
