Yes they are. It's rote hypocrisy.

I think you don't recognize what sort of things are facts and what sort of things are opinions.

How far did you go in school?

Read the dude's quote that you quoted.

It "resembles apartheid."

It's not apartheid though.

Howard Friel writes that Tutu "views the conditions in the occupied Palestinian territories as resembling apartheid in South Africa."

So when South Africa says Israel is an apartheid state, they're just expressing an anti-Semitic opinion? Not based on any evidence? And all people who overwhelmingly agree are just also anti-Semitic? Can't you see how this just makes Israel above criticism so it can continue its genocidal landgrabbing?

Bud, I'm sorry to say that you have been tricked™.

You're delusional. Listen to how you speak in absolutes and put words in my mouth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hmmm do you know more about Apartheid than South Africa?

Great, at least you’re an honest ~~idiot~~ genocide denier.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

And this?

How will you run away from this one?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh gee how will I "run away" from an opinion piece in Qatari state media. If you're just pretending to be a fool you are doing very well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

an opinion piece

Do you not see how dumb that was to say given it was NOT an opinion piece?

and how about running away from this one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] sorry, no response on this yet??? Is this also an "opinion piece" from "Qatari run state media"? Or is this just another piece of reality that you want to ignore?

I have lots more btw. You don't like the NYT? no problem, I got the same piece of news from a lot more outlets spread over many dates.

Youre not smart enough for these conversations at least not with me. I have tried to block you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

You have tried to block me?

Did you try going to my account from the web interface and clicking "Block User" shown in the top right? Otherwise, tell me what app you're using and I can google a method for you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Any success in blocking me, bud?

Maybe you finally realized my life is worth just as much as your own? Do I detect a smidge of empathy?
