/r/stupidpol thread: LAZY_TITLE

i haven't watched this yet, but i understand there's a lot
of knowledge here, with three scholars (and not from the
monkey twitch streamer), that are all over the spectrum,
including a bonafide zionist

read were decent)

We have established that Norman Finkelstein is not
the Messiah.

Finally, the XLT led peace process is making some headway.

Finkelstein doesn't seem too bad to me. a bit odd, yes. it
should be noted he's Jewish and his parents were the only
holocaust survivors in their families

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Finkelstein:
On Holocaust denial
In a July 2020 online discussion with British activists,
Finkelstein called Holocaust denier David Irving "a very
good historian". Finding insufficient the evidence of
Richard J. Evans as the expert witness in Irving's
unsuccessful libel action in 2000 against Deborah Lipstadt,
who had labeled Irving a Holocaust denier, Finkelstein said
Irving had "produced works that are substantive … If you
don't like it, don't read it. In the case of Irving, he knew
a thing or two—or three".[125]

In October 2020, Finkelstein published an extract from his
forthcoming book, Cancel Culture, Academic Freedom and Me on
his website following the banning of Holocaust denial from
Facebook and Twitter. According to Finkelstein, "Holocaust
denial should be taught in university and preferably by a
Holocaust denier" as a means "to inoculate students" against
it. He states: "If one is committed to the purity of truth,
not just in its wholeness but also in its parts, then a
Holocaust denier performs the useful function of ferreting
out 'local' errors, precisely because he is a devil’s
advocate—that is, fanatically committed to 'unmasking' the
'hoax of the 20th century.'"[126][127]

why do you hate brown people?

(pretty genuine question: islamophobia intersects with that
greatly.)

also what Fleet says, with 'it is very simple' (i'd include
civilians with journalists and kids, though)

i started watching: it's very informative and it has some
interesting dynamics (like: the zionist is also respected
for his historic work, by the other side)

don't call people "zionists" as a pejorative unless you want
to alienate jews (including leftist jews). if what you mean
is "supporter of the far right israeli government and the
massacre of palestinians", say it as such.

Fuck Islam, sure I'm Islamophobic. Who wouldn't be? It's a
violent crock of shit. Prove to me it isn't. What do you
know about Islam? Bearing in mind they won't let you into
their mosque to casually browse their DVDs and browser
history. What with you in your pink shorts.

i mean it a 'zionist'. his wiki page says he calls himself
that. would be odd if he wasn't. like: would be odd to be a
scholar and in support of Israel's politics and not be a
zionist

why would it be that bad, though? i don't think zionism is
good. and the far right israel government is rooted in it
(as is the state Israel)

Most Jews are zionists, ie they believe Israel has a right
exist as the home of the Jewish people. You're against that.
You'd rather there was yet another failed Islamic state.
Why? Because you're a poof.

Shame. You sound like my Dad, who’s a good man but
becoming twisted with hatred.

Of course there’s good in Muslim faith and Muslim people.

What was Christianity up to when it was roughly the age
Islam is now? ‘Member? In my worthless opinion it’s all
down to interpretation and the fact some rather scary people
decided stuff had to be rigorously taken word for word and
no interpretation was allowed.

Funny how most Islamic terrorists (the ones who actually do
the nasty work, not those who plan it) were known to play
video games, smoke weed and drink beer.

Roger, no one in their right mind would accept terrorism as
being the correct way. But I also think it’s extreme to
put everyone in the same basket. In its youth Islam was the
religion of science, art and poetry. Some people are cunts,
that’s all. All over the place.

Also I have to agree with big, not all Jewish people believe
in the state of Israel as a right.

What is it with generalising everything?

and so, you know, i'm not a big fan of nations and borders

for wanting a jewish state after a couple millennia of
persecution is a bit inconsiderate at best

but if you want a more practical answer: anyone who's just a
tiny bit attuned to antisemitism encounters the word more
often as a sort of euphemical slur than as a
meaningful descriptor, and that is how it will come across

honestly, bar some very specific expert contexts, at this
point i just don't see how the word could be useful in
political discourse, except for raging antisemites to
maintain plausible deniability. it's not worth the confusion
if you're truly only using it to mean "supporter of the
current israeli government" (which is a very reductive usage
of a concept that has a very long and very broad history).

dan i don't want to ruin our moment but if you can't manage
a she i'd really rather be he'd than they'd lol.
