I get why you say that as a Jew, but that's like saying that antisemitism occurred because of Jewish isolationism It doesn't cut it and it tells you nothing. Well Jewish isolationism happened because they weren't allowed so many things by the christian kingdoms or countries. I mean the German Jews were well integrated into the society in the 20's and 30's and still we all know what happened Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbHawker 6,583 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Sadly, this sort of culture will never die in these areas of the world. It'll fluctuate - maybe it'll lessen at some point but conflicts, violence, extremism and murder will always be a part of their culture. It's horrible, but it's reality.

Jewish isolationism is already visible before Christianity became state religion and it didn't have anything to do with what they could and could not do. It had everything to do with the laws of their own social group and how it fundamentally separated them from wider society and their reputation as people who lived in every country but refused to be a part of them. Anyway, I don't want to promote the isolationism leads to antisemitism point of view, so lemme stop there. This is exactly what I didn't want to talk about but ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 8,831 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 People are quick to blame the U.S. for the creation of ISIS, but Israel is just as responsible for the situation in Palestine. They are the direct cause for the extremism amongst average Palestinians and instead of owning up to it, the tactic is to demonize them even more. Be the bigger country for ****s sake. You're the one with the army. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea behind BDS is not violent and when you ban that too, what is there left? The whole world turned back on them. No one cares. They don't have greatest military power supporting them with billions of dollars and weapons. The real reason BDS is problem to politicians is because it hurts Israel's economy. Not because of flyers in front of stores. also: BDS it hurts Israel ego Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,776 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Simon, you should become a politician. You're so good in ignoring others' arguments, finding small things that are mostly unrelated to make the other seem untrustworthy, calling the other stupid or whatever, victimizing yourself, ignoring facts and whatnot. But please respond to the main point somebody tries to make rather than avoiding all good points made, you're not a populist in the last pre-election debate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
