Israel-Palestine and Ukraine-Russia are different enough for it to make absolutely no sense to compare them.

It makes perfect sense to compare them. Two atrocious wars, but one gets universal condemnation, the other gets the "both sides" argument.

Both are occupying territory that is not their own.

Most young people in America don't even know American history. The middle east might as well be another planet.

  • and those other countries went to war with Israel and lost, so you can't really blame Israel for taking more territory than they started with.


What kind of stupid logic is that
By that logic Russia now owns half of Ukraine
But no they don't and israel has been stealing land and killing people since its inception.

From what I have read, Israel's only claim to the area is "that God told them to" .

Which is total bullshit in ANY circumstance.

Ukraine wasn't worried about Russian nationalists pre-2014 and then stabbing random ethnic Russians in riots, for reasons of "they started it kinda".

If you're going to just reduce it to that, you can KIND of compare them.

This isn't "shit at politics". This is Hillary Clinton expressing her genuine belief. Her genuine belief is that protesting against genocide is more morally repulsive than carrying out genocide.
Yes we're being condescending
Yes that means we're talking down to you

Its both. You are entirely correct aside from your first sentence. Politics 101 is put on a fake smile and hide the negative aspects of yourself and your actions, and so of course her expressing her genuine shit belief is an example of her being shit at politics.

therefore, either hillary clinton is right and the protestors don't know history, or the protestors really are anti-semitic

This conclusion is flawed.

It's drawn from the assumption that (1) protestors, as a movement, are "rooting for hamas," and that (2) the river-sea chant means only the things you're ascribing to it.

Those are assumptions are deeply incorrect.

Oh. Well, then.

Is that gone for good now? Or a proper purg or suspension is required?

I mean... she's right, I'm not a damn scholar on the intricacies of Middle Eastern politics, but do I need those credentials to recognize the very obvious wanton murder and destruction taking place in Gaza?

The Clintons can't fuck off fast enough. You fucking lost, Hillary - go away

I mean, she's not wrong.

But I was hoping this was heading toward "so here is my X-year plan to update our education standards" instead of more of this shit.

The history doesn't matter because no history justifies genocide in the present.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Exactly.

Republicans are like one step away from just saying all winner first world nations are built on genocide and anyone who has a problem with that is a wuss that deserves to be enslaved or something based on how there reactions have been the past months.

But many people know how to spot genocide when shown clear evidence, though. Something some corrupt politicians wish people couldn't do.


young people are just copying what youtubers are doing without doing their own research

No, she 'lost' the election because thousands of people were unconstitutionally disenfranchised by Republican local governments in swing states (and probably also Russian interference). I don't like Clinton and she's full of shit in her comments here about Palestine and the protests, but it's important not to pretend Trump's victory in 2016 was in any way legitimate (even by the warped standards of the electoral college system).
