It is when you refuse to elaborate and act like you staying this makes it true in and of itself. I’ve laid out a line of reasoning and you’ve just smugly accused me of bias.
Laugh all you want but all you’re doing is proving me right about you with every response.
Lovely photo! I think this is Corniglia right?
He had bad solutions but his criticisms of capitalism are spot on.
Also I prefer to blame the authoritarian strongmen who consolidated power as opposed to a guy that advocated against hierarchy. Is Adam Smith culpable for the Bengal famine?
Is that due to not liking teaching? Or because lawmakers and administration have made the job far more frustrating and difficult than it needs to be among other external factors?
That’s such a cool project!
I haven’t made up anything. You just don’t want to accept the facts I’m sharing. Why else would you ignore the details to make character assassinations towards me?
Explain how Netanyahu and Likud actively opposing a two state solution during Oslo means their known support for Hamas had nothing to do with undercutting the contemporary peace talks. Couple that with the known fact that Netanyahu refused to meet with Arafat upon taking power. You’re being willfully naive and it’s sad.
Sure Netanyahu’s Israel could act like Russia and not care about pr but that’s not how you keep your allies closest. For all your condescension you are profoundly stupid and disingenuous when it comes to thinking about this. They play the same game of geopolitics as everyone else, you’re just too stubborn to consider it.
Bringing up the US is a non sequitur.
As I already stated in my previous response (ironic considering your insistence that you are responding to my claims), Israel is not a monolith.
“To suggest they funded Hamas to sabotage peace deals they wrote…”
Who wrote those deals and who propped up Hamas? Do you think it was the same people? That’d be pretty idiotic. Again, the Israeli government is not a singular entity but a collection of politicians, each with their personal/collective ideologies.
It was Rabin’s moderate coalition and others that set up the accords and it was right wingers like Likud that propped up Hamas and scuttled the deal. Different people were involved with these events and I’ve made that pretty clear multiple times so cut the shit and stop being disingenuous.
Is that clear enough for you to understand?
You think it’s dumb because you’re treating the Israeli government as a monolith. The likud party was vehemently against those peace deals and Netanyahu is known to have refused further diplomacy with Arafat once he took power in 96. Why would they not pursue policy they explicitly advocate?
If you’re an extremist party that supports the militant settlers in the West Bank then Hamas is the perfect casus belli to keep pushing for the one state solution the most extreme Zionists want.
The only reason you’re denying historical facts is because you’re determined to defend your own position at all costs.
You haven’t responded to anything I’ve cited. Just a vague allusion to me being totally biased. Attempting to sidestep the actual points I’m raising is a sign of intellectually dishonesty.
I was merely providing information to validate the claim of the previous commenter. If you agree that Israel is largely responsible for the growth of Hamas then fair enough, your phrasing wasn’t very explicit on that front.
Doesn’t matter whether you agree or not. Reality exists all the same and you can’t change the fact that in 1984 the leader of what would become Hamas was detained by Israel for caching weapons. What should’ve been a 12 year sentence turned into an almost instant release.
Right wing Israeli politicians and military leaders did everything they could to prop up Hamas until it could violently overpower the Palestinian secularists and moderates.
Only Israelis that support Likud and other right wing extremist parties. There’s enormous support for removing Netanyahu among average Israelis because as usual the citizens aren’t as extreme as the manipulative politicians that maneuvered their way into power.
Much like Hamas doesn’t represent Palestinians as a whole, neither does Netanyahu’s Likud represent Israelis as a whole.
Exactly, the FSB never blew up an American warship and got away with it.
