Re: Israel & Palestine
“What has anybody in this thread said which would lead you to believe that they were Anti-Semites?”
The fact that you have said Israel should not exist…That gives me a clue.
“I think the majority of the people who are debating in this thread are Semites (Whether they're Jew or Arabs.)”
You really don’t seem to understand the term anti-Semitic, do you? If you take it apart then yes it means against Semites including Arabs. However the word as NOW used as a synonym for Jew hated.
“Also, that the majority of your arguments are based on deflecting the questions which are asked and conjecture. (You provide little evidence of what you have said and instead counter arguments using irrelevant information.”
Actually my arguments just take apart the other persons arguments, show the problems in their arguments and then offer a counter argument. For example read above
“It's not her beliefs. Who are you to judge whether a Semite is an Anti-Semite, whether a Rabbi is Anti-Judaic or anything else for that matter? From now on, before you throw out any accusations (ad hominem) like accusing other of being Anti-Semitic or having MPD (Multiple Personality Disorders) explain the relevance to the thread and the proof (most importantly)”
My bad, she can live in denial all she wants but she is still an anti-Semite. Just because a person doesn’t believe they are an anti-Semite, doesn’t mean they are. If someone puts out their personality for attack, then attacking it is not an ad hominem, it’s a legit argument. If however I was to start attacking her perceived personality out of the blue, then yes it would be an ad hominem.
"Of course not. When 5,000 Jews or Israelis hold a belief it is irrelevant and not representative of the entire population."
Because they clearly don’t and have been rejected by the Jewish community. Their only purpose in life is to create controversy and show support for the likes of people like Ahminajad.
“But when less than 5,000 Muslims or Palestinians hold a belief, it becomes grounds for generalising the whole population. (Double Standards?)”
If this is a reference to Mien Kampf, why is it a best seller? Why are the protocol of the elders of zion best sellers in the Arab world? These are clearly anti-Semitic books which instigate hatred against Jews, double standard? I think not.
“I don't believe every Jew believes that the Jewish people deserve a home at the expense of 5,000,000 Palestinians suffering and being displaced from their homes. (Which they've lived in for over 30 generations.)”
OMG, you can keep saying this when I have clearly defeated the argument, really you need to check back on my previous posts. These people clearly were not pushed from their homes. Anyway, you are right, only less then 2% of Jews believe that Jews should not have a homeland in Israel. Congrats.
“Regardless, whether every Jew thinks it's fair and justified is beside the point.”
No, what is besides the point here is that this fringe group is in the wrong and has been rejected by the other ultra-Orthodox communities and sects for a reason. They are in the wrong. Easy to understand?
"It's hard to argue with imbeciles? When you bring perhaps the most biased sources on the internet, and then criticise her source which is much more reliable (It was Jewish-led right?)"
No, I was just criticizing her for stating that from know on she will not use sources. Her source was Jewish led, that is true; but it’s reliability is a totally different thing, check the point above^. On the other hand I consistently give mainstream sources, Jewish Library, MEMRI…
“Just remember, you're not the judge on this issue. Untill you start reading her sources, I will not be reading your sources. (I'll claim as you have that they're biased and made by Zionists.)”
More ad hominem? You claim I do read her sources when I clearly do and form arguments against them. But you not reading mine? How do you expect to debate? Lol, never knew I was dealing with such stupid people (if you can call me an imbecile then I feel like I can call you an idiot).
“More ad-hominem. (Use your dictionary on that one.)”
I feel that if someone wants to say something as stupid as I am not going to use sources in my debates, then the comment was justified.
“I think I've figured out what you do when you can’t counter somebody’s argument. You try to attack the person and use cheap insults which are very generalised and not even directed at parts of her posts. Well at least I'll be able to explain myself when I do it. You're too pathetic and moronic to counter other peoples arguments so instead you accuse them of being Anti-Semites or attack them.”
Don’t you just love when you accuse people of an ad hominem? You clearly think you know me, but you don’t.
