THEGODDAMNBATMA 07/15/19 5:32:13 PM #1:	Donald Trump always tweets about how people will "turn against the Dems" because they "are embracing anti-israel people". Who the fuck cares? I don't think someone's opinion on Israel is going to sway anyone. If anything I think anti-israel would sway more people because then we wouldn't waste so much taxpayer dollars on their country. <cite>THEGODDAMNBATMA posted [p:924729866] in Does anyon...

I remember how when "You don't mess with the Zohan" came out some people criticized it for "being insensitive to the issue" because the moral of the movie is the war is stupid and Jews and Palestinians should get along. The problem is that it's easier said than done. And Israelis have some pretty valid concerns about preserving a state for the Jews, considering that the Holocaust was a thing and antisemitic attitudes aren't just common through the region but are widely accepted in Europe and, even in the US, aren't just limited to fringe hate groups. --- "If I were a ghost, this is certainly the kind of place I'd haunt."

Granted, oftentimes the biggest death tolls were from European diseases, most of which happened naturally. As for the "full blown genocide claim," that genocide is as real today as it was then. Native Americans are still being poisoned by Europeans who sell them alcohol to destroy their communities, their reservations are continually encroached upon, tribal law is widely disrespected, and Native children are being stolen by the government through CPS and other agencies. That's not even going into the fact that the LBJ administration had government doctors sterilizing Native American women, which greatly curtailed several generations of Native American children. --- "If I were a ghost, this is certainly the kind of place I'd haunt."
