Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

[Heisenberg]

Nothing.  I've said Israel is well within their right to respond any way they see fit, including sending troops.

I'm not the one turning it into a culture war.

Hamas turned it into a culture war. It is either their culture or the Israeli (western culture).

As much as you want to pretend this is a glorified police action against some thugs, and once they are arrested, this is over, it is not.

Both sides are saying it is far more than that, and both sides are fighting as if it is more than that.

[Pakuni]

I don't.  I doubt you even bothered to read it, since it is laced with dog crap.  You likely gave it the time it deserved.  Zero.    Unfortunately, I'm kind of dumb and read it, instead.

None of those things make Tlaib awful, in my opinion, but we can disagree on that.  I also sincerely doubt that her entire view of those positions can be explained so glibly.

When I say awful, I don't mean as a human being. I have no idea what she's like as a human being. I'm saying she's awful in the sense  that she's espoused awful positions and policy proposals as a member of Congress.

I'm going to need concrete reasons she is awful.  If you read that article, the people talking about her are ideologically opposed to her in every way... they're going to say anything they can to remove her from office.

Saying a couple of dumb things doesn't make her awful.  If that were the litmus test then pretty much everyone in congress is guilty.

Really? Let's start with her displaying the Palestinian flag in her official capacity as a member of the U. s. House of Representatives. This isn't hard. Its elementary, aina?

They marched 100 women and children (this is what "human shield" means) onto the battlefield to stand between them and the IDF.

They do this because they believe whatever happens next, they will win. 

The IDF does not attack, and they win.
The IDF attacks, and women and children die. The West expresses its outage against Israel. Calls Israel war criminals. Hamas wins.

IDF troops who engaged in fierce combat with Hamas terrorists for control over an operations base in the Gaza Strip were met with a disturbing tactic: roughly 100 women and children were pushed forward by Hamas to act as a human barrier.

Soldiers of the Givati Infantry Brigade encountered the shocking scenario during the battle for the base of Hamas's elite Force 17 near Jabaliya in the Gaza Strip. "We stand ready to face more instances of such cynical and brutal use of civilians," an IDF officer said.

ADDED LATER

Hamas told the world last week this is exactly what they do (what do you think "sacrifice martyrs" means). However, it is so hard for the Western Progressive worldview to accept this that the West rejects it. It cannot be correct!

Hamas knows this, which is why they will say it to your face.

"Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country, because it constitutes a security, military, and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation, and must be finished. We are not ashamed to say this, with full force.

"We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.

Then, it is a war over culture.

I'm sorry that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Yes, the American culture wars are very similar to that of a war between Hamas and Israel.  Good lord, you're an idiot

I have no issue with someone being a proud American and being proud of where they came from.  That you do, is awfully telling.  If a rep that was born in Israel wants to place the Israeli flag outside their office, that's just fine to.  I don't know why people care about this stuff at all.

I have no idea what you're referring to.  I haven't brought her up once in this thread.  So you'll need to make some sense of your question.

If a skinhead was elected to Congress and has displayed a swastika, are you okay with that, too?
How about a southern member of Congress displaying a Confederate flag?  Cool too.

The Palestinian flag has a similar meaning as it represents the genocide of 8 million Jews in Israel.

The US Government currently bans its display on government property.

Does the US Government currently ban the display of the Palestinian flag? 

If not, then there's your answer.  Why is this so difficult for you?

Personally, I don't care.

Thank you lawdog. This is a perfect example of why it is a waste of time to try to have a legitimate discussion with douchey.

Ignore list is your friend, everyone.
