Boer Genocide

[Psyche]

non-existent as it is in postwar reality

it's the official policy of several countries, some of which are close to having nuclear weapons, that israel must be eradicated

Israel has been a belligerent aggressor for most of its history. It's also a nuclear state. I can completely understand why Arabs would be hostile to them.

In any case, wanting to end the sovereignty of a particular state is not equivalent to wanting to commit genocide.

this is completely beside the point

ok but these bodies have indicated willingness to commit genocide either to achieve the eradication of israel or as an end of itself

It's very on point when the subject is Arab hostility toward the state of Israel.

Which entities are you referring to? As far as I'm aware, Iran has never stated it's support for genocide (and that's the only one suspected of being on the verge of nukes).

the subject is whether israel is under real genocidal threat

[Psyche]

Because it's fucking racist

Okay. You're going to need to explain how it is.

Why?

Because it's fucking racist

So?

[Accountant]

Well, racism is bad. So living in a racist place is bad.

1. What is racism? There are many contrary definitions in use for it, so pick one to be precise.
2. Why is it bad?

[Accountant]

Racism occurs when a racial or ethnic group is discriminated against, like under Jim Crow laws or apartheid.

It is bad because people shouldn't be discriminated against just because they're a member of a certain race. They didn't choose it, and there is nothing wrong with being of a certain race.

Why should people not be discriminated against because of unchosen qualities?

[Accountant]

Before, we begin, I'd like to clarify a few things so I know how detailed my explanation has to be. Do you think that it's okay to discriminate against people based on race?

In general, yes.

[Accountant]

Very well. I will decline to respond to your question in post 36 as I no longer have the intent of convincing you that I am right.

[Sesq]

why, james

why would you believe something so dumb

[Accountant]

You know why. Because he's a religious extremist conservative.

[Sesq]

You know why. Because he's a religious extremist conservative.

i dont trust in your ability to accurately represent others' positions

[Accountant]

All religious extremist conservatives hold despicable world views. Why are you surprised that james does?

[Annadog40]

What do you hope to gain from this?

[Loopdan]

Oh wait. Sorry James.
