Lakshmi.Zerowone said: » Shiva.Shruiken said: » Lakshmi.Zerowone said: » Obsolete or not it's a good practice to use it accurately. Quote: The root word Semite gives the false impression that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic people. However, the compound word antisemite was popularized in Germany in 1879 as a scientific-sounding term for Judenhass "Jew-hatred", and that has been its common use since then. Language evolves. The proper terminology for hostility or prejudice against Jews is "antisemitism", not Anti-Ashkenazi. Yes language evolves. I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding in what I wrote. When I wrote anti-Ashkenazi I did not mean it was the proper catch all phrase for being Anti-Jewish. I meant it purely in identifying the specific ethnic group that is being referred to when people talk about "Israel" and it's "Zionist" policies. Anti-Zionist is less esoteric obviously. But on the subject of linguistics, what is your reaction when you hear/read : irregardless ? I find the English language to be overly complicated with way too many exemptions and rules. I've studied a little bit of French. And it seems a bit easier than English. I tells ya ! Offline

Blazed1979 said: » Quoting me on Jerusalem is again ironic, since the occupation of Jerusalem by Israel is illegal and recognised as such even by the US, and 178 other countries. So you want to call me out for supporting none violent means of attaining what is legally right, go ahead. We are actually doing something perfectly democratic by western standards and that is to boycott Israel and attract investments away from it. AIPAC is trying to make that illegal. That's is at odds with your own constitution that protects freedom of speech.(youre going to be told you can't refuse to buy a product because you have reservations or objections about it ethically- how wonderfully democratic) Keep misusing the antisemite card. Each time you do you, You expedite it's exile into ridicule and discredit it of having any relevance. Israel is desperately trying to play that card because it doesn't have anything left to stand on or hide behind, except military superior force. And any time a nation or Empire had to bet on it's hard power instead of it's soft power, has been followed by ruin and demise. The fact is there are several military, political, social and law enforcement public figures who have said what I am repeating; Israel has a disproportionate influence on American politics and is the single most influential foreign body on American politics. None of this is for Nobody's benefit. I don't think he actually wants to increase his knowledge on this. This is for the benefit of others who might not be aware but just never had the time or interest to look into it. That's how I feel about Africa. I don't know much and at first glance it looks too complicated with nuances and a history for me to make a judgment or even contribute to a discussion about. YouTube Video Placeholder

You want the proof...you want the proof...you can't handle the proof !
As for the conclusions he spoke them about, let's crack those open too. Those conclusions are just people's opinions.
Hey fone you've heard of frinkiac.com right?
It always makes me laugh when people take the word of Julian Asange as legit... I guess it depends on whether you agree with what he's saying or not...
You're against leaking classified language but the word of the guy leaking all of it is appearantly trustworthy and you will use it as evidence to back up your claims lol... too funny...

Like you said, you have to be in a very specific group, and even then, I highly doubt the wellbeing of Israel was even in the top 5 topics for those people in your group (outside of Israeli citizens, of course, because they are human just like everyone else, regardless of what some people here say). Regardless, those IC "conclusions" on hacking, aren't a smoking gun.

As you said what on the previous page? Hacking the dnc is not hacking the government right? So those had nothing to do with government over reach and speaks more to a political agenda... maybe he was just pissed off at the Dems for pretty much confining him to that embassy... Personally I couldn't tell you if the Russians had anything to d with it and I don't really think Trump himself had anything to do with any of it either... but for you to sit here and talk like Asange is some kind of reliable person well then I guess you're the type to use anything or anyone you can to justify your position regardless of any validity... Just like someone else here who wanted to prove to you that they Russians hacked the dnc you don't have definitive proof either that they didn't... both sides are just believing what they want to and going with it...

Right now, assange's own statement that he didn't get the info from Russia is more solid evidence that Russia didn't do the hacking than the "conclusions" of the IC are that they did.
If someone wants to contest that, let's bust open those "conclusions" and find out. The IC doesn't know ***. The DNC even refused to let them examine their servers during the election. Offline

They want to talk about Russia so the Democrats look like they are doing something.

Lakshmi.Flavin said: » I'd be interested to see how you do... it's not only a big thing in politics but big amongst average ordinary citizens... it's one of those weird things that crosses party lines too... How can Israel be a big thing in politics when it wasn't even a big voting issue for the general election, nor is Israel even a top contender of foreign policy issues period. More people are concerned with Mexico and Canada and Russia than they are about Israel. Look, we get it, you love to argue and make statements that don't fit with reality, nor do you provide evidence to support your statements. But do you really need to argue for the sake of arguing? |
