| OniRonin 12/30/18 8:36:21 PM #47 | blue_composer posted... Idk... during college there was this rise of anti israel groups on campuses across the us which were run by students that either supported Hamas and repeated their rhetoric or refused to denounce Hamas as a terrorist organization By ruling class I mean people who wield power (i.e. elected office or massive amounts of money) or are in the socioeconomic class that makes them likely to wield power in the future. I don't think looking at college campuses is a good way to get a sense of the overall american public or the rulingclass. Virtually every elected official supports israel, to the point that it made news that a house CANDIDATE didn't. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/07/us/politics/democrats-israel-palestinians.html Among "normal" people, I think most of them have very hazy views of the conflict overall but generally support israel. It is becoming more common to reject israel on the far left, though. For example the DSA vote on joining BDS recently I thought this was interesting - it would be cool to see something from the last year http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/05/23/5-facts-about-how-americans-view-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict/ Did you know a lot of Israelis make homemade pizza/toast (toast here is anything with cheese and toast) with yellow cheese and ketchup? First time I saw it I was really grossed out.... I still am This does sound gross. I don't eat cheese at all, but if I did I certainly wouldn't eat it like that --- |

| OniRonin 12/30/18 8:10:00 PM #44 | blue_composer posted... Also also this article just came up on my fb and if you read past the biased wording you can see how conflicted the conflict gets just within the world of journalism Yeah, I think a lot of journalism about israel from the US and the UK uses the topic as a proxy war for or against conservative ideas in our own politics, and it ends up feeling really muddled because of it. Like in the UK now, conservative journalists want to defend everything israel does in order to paint Corbyn as an antisemite for opposing israel's policies. Sorry if I played a role in keeping you up! It's cool that you're willing to talk about it. --- |

| OniRonin 12/30/18 8:02:40 PM #43 | And yes it is possible for both sides to have fault but more often than not (especially being a moderate liberal) I only ever see one side getting the majority of the blame and refusing to see that one side is a terrorist group that haven't had elections in so long. If somebody told me they were going to join Hamas, I would argue with them too. I live in the US, so I don't usually encounter a lot of people who are pro-hamas. It's much more common here for somebody to be labeled as a Hamas supporter for criticizing Israel than for somebody to genuinely support the methods of Hamas. On the other hand, our entire ruling class is rabidly pro-israel, so I often have cause to argue with people who defend the IDF and other israeli policies --- |

Actually one last thing it's defintely possible to change my mind - I think before I started talking to you here I underestimated the steps IDF took to reduce casulaties in many situations. If you accept their assumption that these bombings are necessary, their standard procedures take more steps than I thought to reduce deaths --- |

| OniRonin 12/30/18 5:15:30 PM #35 | blue_composer posted... You dont have to read the article just watch the video IDF is known to misleadingly edit videos so I take this with a grain of salt. Even if it is true, I don't really see the relevance though - yes, hamas is a shitty government. I'm not disputing that by condeming the IDF
This is a good source. Most of the time people link me to super pro-israel stuff when I ask about this, loI I don't dispute that there are situations where the IDF takes steps to reduce casualties. There are many other situations where Israel shows a callous disregard for the lives of palestinians. Looking at sources like human rights watch, amnesty international, and UN reports the overall picture I get is one where IDF tactics (e.g. how they go about bombing civilian areas) reduce casualties, but IDF strategy (e.g. their willingness to bomb civilian areas with overwhelming force) rests on an assumption of palestinian inferiority - a willingness to trade any number of palestinian lives for a minute increase in israeli security. That's not even getting into the other issues with israeli human rights violations in gaza - denying visas and blockading medicine. I'm not sure if you disagree with me on those though There was controversy over the soldier that killed a neutralized terrorist I agree that there was controversy. As I said before, I don't think that washes the government and its people's hands of guilt.
It's true that I don't live here, but I hope I don't only see one-sided reporting. I read a lot of news. Do you have a journalist/newspaper/whatever about israel you recommend? It might sound like deflecting but if you really cared about Palestinians you should start by taking a look at how they're treated by their own government as well as looking into how they're treated in surrounding Arab countries The implication that I must be uneducated about the atrocities committed by Hamas because I speak out against israel's atrocities is a bit strange - it really doesn't occur that I might both understand and disapprove of Hamas's actions AND disapprove of responding with violence in kind? --- |

| OniRonin 12/30/18 3:19:46 PM #29 | blue_composer posted... 1. Hamas literally rounds up the majority of these people that look the most vulnerable and puts them in dangerous situations Do you have a source for this. Amnesty international and most other (comparatively) nonpartisan sources disagree that hamas does this -- they DO fire rockets from civilian neighborhoods, but that's different from what you're claiming 2. Israel goes out of it's way most times to avoid them( (innocent people that were put there) also think about it, if we really were as evil and causing genocide like people think why hasn't it happened?and why has their population gone up?) Do you have a source for this. (not haaretz or similar israeli propaganda) 3. When something does happen there are investigations and controversies and debates on the israeli side and among Israelis all over I don't think controversy over killing civilians really erases culpability. for example, I think american citizens should be considered culpable for america's history of bombign civilians and civilian infrastructure in the middle east, supporting antidemocratic coups in south america, etc. Feeling bad abotu it doesn't excuse you from supporting it celebrates death It's cool that you are against celebrating death. I wish more people in the IDF believed that!  --- |

| OniRonin 11/03/18 4:06:51 PM #6 | The serial killer role in mafia games is stupid and should be removed. It's impossible to win as the serial killer, which removes the will to power and promotes player attritition. Ted Kaczynski made some excellent points in his manifesto. Bombing people is a terrible way to go about it and I do not condone it, but technology really ruins people's ability to control their environments as individuals instead of being totally dependent on society, and that creates a lot of the lack of self-fullfilment in the world today. Anders Breivek deserves a PS3 and games better than Rayman Revolution. --- |

Considering the fact she didn't just bring out her relative and say SEE, it means she was basing her ancestry on someone that was no longer alive, and would automatically mean it was probably going to be less then 1/64th anyway. yeah, she was basing it on her family's oral history whcih said the ancestor was 5 generations back. pretty close to the 6-10 generations that the ancestry report lists. i don't understand what the conservative meme dues think happened here. like do they think elizabeth warren made it up and just happened to get lucky, or tyhat her family actually had oral history that went back 10 generations and she shortened it, or what --- |

Former co-worker of mine said his grandmother was part Native American and he took a DNA test to see if he has enough to make a claim.

She also listed herself as native american in a law school directory. That's a totally reasonable thing to do even with an ancestor 5 generations back like what she believed at the time. it'd seem kind of odd/maybe misleading to me with an ancestor 10 generations back, but that's the minimum of what the ancestry test claims --- |

The lower end seems like a trace amount a lot of people have. horse shit. most native americans are mixed race. for cherokee (the one I know the most about) you need an ancestor from around ~1900 listed as at least 1/4 which would usually put you at 1/128 or 1/64 --- |
