The people who marched on this “protest” are just awful, hateful and terribly dumb people who deserve no support and all the criticism. But not everyone protesting because of the current situation with Israel is therefore automatically doing it for awful reasons.
So you'd put them all together? Say in a bucket?
That's an interesting number. How did you arrive at it? Why ex-muslim, if you don't mind me asking?
The past wars in Gaza or the proportion of civilian deaths in wars in general? I understand that it's your personal opinion that's why I was curious. 1/5, maybe 1/10? That's not a lot, is it? Do you feel that changes with the importance of target? Does it have to be important targets or are there acceptable numbers that you'd attach to any combatant?
From the article:
In a memo released Thursday, Biden campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez said her team feels “well-prepared to defeat whoever emerges from the extreme MAGA Republicans’ primary field,” but “this will be a very close general election.”
Biden won 64 percent of the Muslim vote in 2020, and Trump won 35 percent, according to exit polling by The Associated Press.
New polling this week showed Biden’s support among Arab American voters plummeting to just 17 percent, down 42 percentage points compared to 2020. The Arab American Institute, which conducted the poll, said it marks the first time in 26 years of polling Arab Americans that the majority did not claim to prefer the Democratic Party.
Between this recurring news and the fact that it's being taken seriously it feels like team Biden is going to have to go further than an Islamophobia policy implementation. These numbers can likely lose him Michigan as it stands, and ignoring the Midwest has never worked out to a candidates (and all of our) detriment in the recent past. We need concise action to support these communities if we want to keep Michigan blue.
Yeah, but they also kinda don't.
Also, why do you have a problem with the numbers when historically they've always been proven accurate?
Yup, there it all is! No problem!
What about these UN guys? Them Too?
"We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide," the group of experts, made up of seven U.N. special rapporteurs, said in a statement.
Nice try? Huh?
You're mistaken, please let me help you!
Hamas, as Gaza's ruling authority, exerts control over the Health Ministry. But it's different than political and security agencies that Hamas runs.
The Palestinian Authority, which controlled Gaza before Hamas overran the area in 2007, retains power over health and education services in Gaza, though it's based in the occupied West Bank. The ministry is a mix of recent Hamas hires and older civil servants affiliated with the secular nationalist Fatah party, officials say.
Interesting... What percentage of the deaths do you think are Hamas soldiers?
How many people did those rockets kill? Was it a lot?
Where is there any bad faith there? If you don't feel like talking that's fine but at least flesh out your opinion to demonstrate it's validity.
Sure, let me redress. You're saying there's a problem between Islam and Democracy correct? So what kind of solutions do you think there are to that incompatibility? Is this an Islam problem, or a religion in government problem?
I personally don't think religion has any place in government. So that would be the more existential issue for me, in terms of compatibility.
