I shouldn't have given you the benefit of the doubt and tried to engage in good faith, my bad.

In short because the Israeli state wants to completely kill or displace the Palestinian population.

I'll let an Israeli Holocaust historian make the case instead of me.

This person regularly engages in insidious faux-intellectual Islamaphobia and then hides behind a "hurr durr I also think Netanyahu bad, why do you love hamas so much" when pressed at all. Every single time I've seen them call out a specific user for antisemitism it's been them conflating anti Zionism with antisemitism. It's simultaneously excusing genocide and watering down antisemitism to being a meaningless term.

It's blatant, embarassing, and morally bankrupt.

What are you talking about? The US sends billions to Israel every year. We support Israel because of a mix of wanting a permanent outpost in the middle east and Christian Zionism.

Same to you. At least I'm not carrying water for liberals excusing genocide.

They really started padding it towards the end to get to 50 but the first half or so of this listicle has a lot of good examples, quite a few that I didn't know

Sometimes a soulless megacorp is the one in the right.

Sorry, I assumed you were trying to say something that made any sense at all. Your objection is even dumber than I thought if you think the Democrats' only selling point being that they're not the Republicans is even a remotely controversial point on the left.

You have to give them your email address to get a download link? Fucking yikes

No, what I'm arguing in favor of is doing something we actually we actually have the power to do. Of course Palestinians who want to leave should be able to do so, but unless you're suggesting that we should send a massive convoy of boats to pick up hundreds of thousands of fleeing Palestinians, we have no power to help them get to safety. Even if we could force Egypt to to accept refugees, we would have to get Israel to open the Rafah Crossing which would take as much time as it would to get them to stop bombing entirely.

If you think that leftists disliking Democrats is "leftist infighting" you have a fox news brain definition of what a leftist is.

The Democrats aren't a "big tent" party they're a "vote for us or you get the fascists" party.

Yes, we have a conservative party and a fascist party.

Is it because it reaches a critical mass of usage, so the people get to take it back?

It's not my point but that's literally how it legally works in the US. That's why Velcro insists on calling their product "Velcro brand hook and loop fastener"

Whatever you have to tell yourself so you don't have to confront that you've wasted your life defending made up nonsense.

Are you suggesting it's quicker to relocate 2 million people than it is to get a dependent colony to stop committing genocide?

No, I understand how it works, nothing in your rambling justification is new to me. This one case is not the only reason why I think "intellectual property" is stupid. Just like with crypto weirdos, people who support "intellectual property" absolutely cannot fathom that someone knows how it works and doesn't like it.

I can't shit talk taco john's because we have Jim boy's tacos out here in Norrhern California lol

They put Parmesan cheese on the shells

So if I read the article correctly, they owned the trademark to "taco Tuesday" in States they didn't even have stores in? "Intellectual property" is such a farce

Right now, civilians don't have a choice to leave the warzone. That's intentional thaks to Hamas, Netanyahu, Egypt, Jordan, etc.
