Not at all. I believe Norman Finkelstein compared the events of October 7 to a slave rebellion. Imagine how the Confederacy responded to slave rebellions, and how Israel responds. One never gives in to demands from such oppressors, but actually has a duty to fight them all the more.
The Confederacy lost the civil war.
Why is it, when people here fail to author an authentic post, and then are trying to defend said post, feel the need to turn to false comparisons or to whataboutism?
They did. But unlike nearly every other civil war in history, the Confederacy did not lose BIG. Normally, the Confederates would have been forced into accepting a very harsh Reconstruction of civil rights and suffrage for the freed slaves. Instead, the Republicans of 1877 decided to do a deal with Southern Democrats to end Reconstruction in return for getting electoral college votes that would put Republican Rutherford B. Hayes into the White House. And this was after Abraham Lincoln had put a Southern Democrat as his running mate in the 1864 election, when a Radical Republican had previously been his vice president.
The Union represented industrial capitalism in the civil war. The Confederacy represented chattel slavery. The two systems were clashing to the extent of secession and open civil war by 1860-1861.
In my experience, anyone who complains about somebody else engaging in "whataboutism" is trying to hide their hypocrisy from being exposed.
Lol..they lost the civil war. Israel did not lose their war.
Yes, difficult issues take time to work out and you have no patience.
The civil war was about slavery. The Union, who wanted to end it, won.
Why does your experience matter to anyone but you?
Yet then came Jim Crow laws after 1877, and nearly 90 years of it. This is very atypical of most civil wars. The only other one that comes close is the English Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, 11 years after Charles I's execution. Usually, the losing side in a civil war loses in a very big way.
Yes, the war didn't end slavery.
It means that transsexuals are delusional about Muslim countries.
Does it? How?
Transsexuals who support the cause of the Palestinians think the Palestinians share their cause.
I qualified my statement by writing "who support the cause of the Palestinians" without the use of commas.
Yes, I understand the use of commas, and my question still stands.
No. Not all of them.
Nov 14th, well I'd be fucking against Israel too, if they were indiscriminately bombing me, killing my family indiscriminately. You gona claim you wouldn't feel the same if it was happening to you???
Thanks for clarifying.
Your tweet author fails to acknowledge that the current conflict has not been going on even two months yet.
Please point out any hypocrisy on my part. I've already highlighted yours, and so by your own definition you agree you're a hypocrite.
Let's put this in perspective, shall we?
I think it has do do with the facts that most Jews are intelligent and good people, who have been unjustly persecuted.
