You can't hide behind "Jews / Palestinians aren't a race" You know full well what racial discrimination is. Are Nazis not racist? The 'Aryan race' isn't a race either...

Please realize that I'm not even a jew. And i still think that they are better. Put that into your liberal mindset. Some people think that Asians are the most intelligent, but nobody is crying a river over that. The only reason why you care is that you are the anti-israel guy in this forum and you hate any positive sentiment of them and their people. Get off of your high horse. I'm gonna spank both you and rolstoppable for my jollies. |
That's your problem. That implies others are worse.
I'm not crying any river over Jews scoring better on IQ tests or attending Ivy league schools in higher percentages.
I'm the anti genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing guy. I applaud those brave enough in Israel to resist the norm and not go along with the superior Jews vs inferior Arabs sentiment. Which is what has been driving this conflict since the 1920s.
If anything my wish is for a unified Israel, home to all in the area. A 2-state solution is only a 'necessary evil' on the path to unification and freedom and respect for all including their religions. An official state religion doesn't mean it has to be an ethnocentric state.
I have nothing against Israel as a country, but I do have a problem with Netanyahu and his support from/from far right extremists keeping/further turning Israel into an ethnocentric state. That's not the 'beacon' bringing democracy and peace to the ME, it's only providing more 'fuel' for other countries like Iran to get more support to also progress further to an ethnocentric state.
I also have nothing against Brazil, but Bolsonaro is threatening to pull Brazil apart and entering the road to Netanyahu's policies.
A new Netflix documentary, "Apocalypse in the Tropics," examines the role of the evangelical movement and right-wing politics in Brazil and its parallels with U.S. politics. Director Petra Costa joins "The Takeout" to discuss her film.
Just released a couple days ago, watch it.
