Student Protests Against Israel Are Wonderful

[icehorse]

If you're trying to argue that settler-colonialism does not exist, I'm not interested in entertaining such nonsense.

It sounds like you're pushing an "oppressed vs. oppressor"worldview, did I get that wrong?

 

[We Never Know]

Who on the planet is not living on stolen land?

Aboriginals?

Aboriginals?

That's probably as close as we might come, but as I understand it, there was always a lot of inter-tribe warring going on in aboriginal society as well.

Who on the planet is not living on stolen land?

That appears to be a rhetorical question.
What point are you making?

You really can't figure it out?

You really can't figure it out?

You really think this isn't just being cagey,
setting up to claim a mischievous inference?
I prefer that people say what they mean,
instead of making vague allusions.

But if you know what he meant, you
could be his interpreter.

I think the question says exactly what the poster intended to say. Your feigned confusion just indicates you know the poster is correct you just can't admit it.

Your feigned confusion just indicates you know the poster is correct you just can't admit it.

Your belief that his meaning would be
unambiguous to others bespeaks a
lack of understanding....of both the
poster's history, & the issues.
You contribute nothing to the discussion.

LMBO you can't figure everyone lives on stolen land. It's amazing

You misunderstand my post.
I never objected to that.
I asked for his intended point.
I notice that you believe it's obvious,
yet you're unable to articulate it.

I suspect dread to publicly admit
to a belief. It's safer to hint at it,
because of plausible deniability.

You know the point because you know the poster is right. No one lives on land that wasn't taken from others. It's happened over and over again throughout history and will continue.

 

[Revoltingest]

You know the point...

I know that your posts show strong beliefs
that are confused with facts, & that they
don't allow for other viewpoints.
Also that your inability to state the poster's
intended meaning means you really don't
know what it is. Perhaps you once thought
you did....but now you're thinking there might
be more to it...and fear supporting your claim.
So it seems.

I did state it. You ignore it. I understand why.

 

[Revoltingest]

You posted only the obvious superficial claim in #435.
Well, duh.
But you don't know why he made it.
Was it to devalue Palestinians' claim to Gaza?
Was it to justify Israel's taking Gaza from them?
These never occurred to you.
Think better.

project much?

 

[Revoltingest]

I notice that you won't answer the question.
Why such refusal to come right out, & say
what you mean & believe?

"I prefer that people say what they mean,

You should practice that more instead of worrying about your post count.

"I prefer that people say what they mean,

You should practice that..

I do.

...more instead of worrying about your post count.

Jealous?
I don't post to boost my count.
It just happens.
If you want a higher count, try to be more
interesting. Then other posters will
engage you more.

Steering things to more relevance to the OP.....
Are you jumping into this discussion
to further derail the thread in order
to support Israel's genocide?

You seem to be the only person who is confused

 

[Revoltingest]

You seem to be the only person who is confused

You seem to be supporting genocide.
But without the courage to take a clear stand.
