Re: Netanyahu wants billions more in US aid after his advisor calls Pres a Jew hater
See that's the thing. I don't think it was. And not because we don't have the same position, cause that's a necessary condition for having a good debate.
I just honestly don't see how any of your responses sought to actually engage or respond to anything I said. Previous expulsions or migrations are completely irrelevant to the fact that jews wanted to get out of Europe in the 30s and had nowhere to go. You refused to acknowledge or even engage on the fact that Israel is not the central issue in the middle east and never was. You refused to engage on the impact of European control of the middle east and what would have happened in the absence of that control after the Ottoman collapse. Seriously, go back through things again. I'm always looking for people to argue through things with.
But there was none of that here. It was like one person saying I think that smoking causes cancer for reasons x y and z and the other saying - look a puppy, and by the way people have been getting cancer for years from being exposed to asbestos. Just doesn't make any sense.

Knock this off. You guys haven't been on-topic in the last several posts. This thread is not about the history of Israel. If you want to discuss that or the I/P situation, please take it to another thread.
