I haven't read the sources you posted yet, I've been arguing entirely with the content of your messages as reading the sources in the middle of an argument is too time consuming, however I will go read them just to see if it changes my world view. That is the point of all this. Anyway, cheers (I am not trolling for what it's worth, if you'd rather label me an idiot then feel free to do so)

Whatever dude, Lemmy is way too far left for me to be arguing at this point. I don't approve of genocide on either side and I'm leaving it at that. I'm not gonna win or even remotely get anywhere so I'll stop wasting everyone's time. It's not productive which is the entire point of having an argument.
Of course not, depends on what it is. You can't just write a blank check so to speak and tolerate ANY behavior, that's not remotely acceptable no matter the side, but alas no matter what I say Israel doing anything other than rolling over is them doing too much for you guys.
...you should do some more research. What you just described isn't communism, it doesn't even match the dictionary definition of communism which requires there to be no private property. China has been progressively moving more free market even though they remain steadfast in their dystopian autocratic ways.
...right...so 20% of the Israeli population is Arab...and they get arrested and assaulted on the daily. That's a fairly substantial percentage for a minority population, seems unlikely for the percentage to both be that high and for them to be treated so poorly and oppressed so throughly especially when they could just defect to Palestine. Additionally Israel has an 18% Islamic population when broken down by religion. Look at Palestine meanwhile, 99% Islamic, 100% Arab...the numbers don't lie, one of them is definitely more tolerant of diversity than the other.
I said it was counterproductive for a reason
While this is true I'm not sure what that has to do with authoritarianism. I think the reasons for incarceration speak far more to what is authoritarian and what isn't. A thousand people incarcerated for murder isn't authoritarian, a single person jailed for speech is. The US doesn't have a perfect track record there but it's far better than most other countries.
2 can play that game, it really isn't productive. Where was Israel located in 900BCE?
That last part is just nuts, I mean that whole section is just nuts but especially the last part afaic. Also very uninformed
