I admit that every time I think, 'zionists can't be that fucking evil and that stupid', the continue to surprise me.
Does it also surprise you that your opinions regarding Jews is a fringe and radical position on TERB?

Are you tired of watching the entire world hate you yet?
its going to be lasting a very long time now.
I didn't know that I was that famous. I always felt that I am an unknown entity to the world at large. If you consider yourself and the rest of your KKK the world, then I'll readily accept that hate.

By my reasoning the narratives and attitudes in the west, towards the 3rd world, towards Muslims, towards Palestinians is one of default racism. I am not aware of differences based on race on this subject and have not seen any studies. Your study here does not indicate anything specific to demographics either, so there is not enough information to make a statement on it.

What race is Judaism? Is antisemitism racism? Yes. What is antisemitism? Irrational hatred of Jews or harbouring negative sentiment toward Jews with regard to Judaism.
What is Islamophobia? Irrational hatred of Muslims or harbouring negative sentiments toward Muslims with regard to Islam, or Islam itself.

Both are racist. The fact that you can choose not to be a Muslim or choose not to be a Jew, is irrelevant.
Actually its more like, holy crap they don't share the same values of free speech, equality of women, human rights that we do.

Seriously we haven't had a war on NA soil since 1814. That's by choice. The ME Muslims have been at perpetual war with eachother and their neighbors. Hasn't stopped. Over religion. That's also a choice.

Just like clockwork when you're losing a debate. Just like Geno is a prefect nickname because it defines the person by the incessant claims of genocide (and hammy is moronically convoluted and unintelligible) I'll try and think of something based on "irrelevant".

Approximately 75% of America is white.
That means a minimum of 5% who were polled had to be visible minorities (probably a lot more though).

Have you ever thought that maybe 80% of Americans simply believe Israel has the right to defend their homeland from a terrorist organization like Hamas??
And that it has nothing to do with racism??
The % of the US that is white is 60%. I think we can safely say you are more “asleep “ than “woke”.

If that was the case we'd automatically condemn and call out the genocide that is ongoing in Gaza because that is a clear violation of human rights. Clearly the fact that a genocide does not move people but instead the support is for the perpetrator of the genocide indicates differently.
As I've said before. We have two sides who will never come to the table. Ever. And there is no way I will ever approve of spending blood and treasure to try to get them to see reason. The Palestinians chose Iranian Shia muslims and their allies. Who are hated by all the other Sunni muslims in the region. They chose Terrorism, violence, even support of assassination and coups. And really have just been used as pawns. They are the authors of their own problems.

So feel free to pick a side. Either way one is, in the long run, going to see a winner and a loser. That's how this ends.

You're not including people who identify as white in combination with another race.
People who identify as white in combination with another race amount to about 71% of US population:

I did not call anyone racist here. I said the narratives concerning Palestinians, Muslims and the 3rd world in general are default racist. How many times have you heard people use the phrase "Palestinians want to genocide the Jews etc"?

And woke? lol. I am no flag waving woke culture warrior amd have not said anything thay even amounts to woke the way you define it.

We do know. It's all over social media and news media and is also reflected in the decision making of the powers that be.

Here listen to this interview of AOC by Mehdi both of you.

You seem to think anybody that argues with you "hate" muslims. I have tons of Muslim friends and no, I don't try to change or challenge their beliefs...there are good people in the Islam community. The conflict here isn't Palestinians vs. Jews...It's Terrorists vs. Israel...Hamas objective isn't to free the Palestinians...it's to eradicate Israel. You simply can't get everyone get behind you if you target civilians then cry victim when you receive retaliation... Hamas won't solve the Palestinians problems...it magnified it 100x...

Sorry to shatter your fantasies once again, but neither of the UNGA or UNSC has passed any resolutions declaring that Israel has committed genocide. As Geno tells us, we must listen to the UN,

Why, you think the politics forum here represents Canadian values?
A reminder, 57% of the people who voted for Biden during the last election agree with me that Israel is committing genocide.
Your views are the minority.

Sorry to keep reminding you, old guy, but that's not how the UN works.
The UN has issued reports saying the occupation is illegal, Israel is apartheid and Israel is committing genocide.

When the ICC and ICJ come calling you will be whining and declaring some other imaginary goal line.

That is a different discussion. I am talking about what we see in the west in the media, in what politicians say that influence public opinion etc., You said they don't share our values.

Firstly there is a lot to unpack there because the west itself has engaged in horrible wars in the middle east where they have brutalized, tortured, unlawfully detained and sent people to concentration camps such as Guantanamo, thereby denying them due process which is an inherent part of western democratic values. They are also human rights violations which you said were western values. So the west itself has behaved in ways that violate our values.

Secondly even if you were to argue that the Muslims in the middle east don't share our values, that would not change the fact that we'd be guided by our own values. And if we were we'd find it very easy to collectively call Israel's actions genocide and terminate all relations with the genocidal state. But we clearly don't and instead cheer them on. Which would indicate to me that these are values we value for the purposes of rhetoric only.

On both counts that line of reasoning fails. The only one that stands up to scrutiny is the very reasonable assertion that quite simply as a society we have our biases and that we are no different than the Palestinians or Muslims from the middle east whether or not we throw LGBTQ people off of roof tops, or are engaged in sectarian conflict. We just engage in different internal conflicts and practice a different kind of oppression.

I don't care about Hamas. I have already said that Hamas needs to be taken out. But people on this thread and on social media, even politicians have repeatedly conflated Palestinians with Hamas and terrorism. That is what am referring to.
Except Islam isn't just a religion. It's a legal framework and form of government. It is a Totalitarian form of control with Big Brother at its head. It leaves no room for dissent. It is cult like in its fanaticism. It follows through with its hatred of Apostasy and being an Infidel. It is also an economic model. Whichbis also nearly the opposite of Western practices.

It is, imo, the polar opposite to the vast majority of what a Liberal Western Secular Capitalist society represents and can build upon. Which I believe is a far superior form, despite it flaws. So this goes, to me far beyond the woes of a tiny population of near fanatics, who have screwed themselves. And I do conflate Hamas and Palestinians. They birthed them, raised them, and elected them to run things. They come from their own and won't denounce them. The hide them and continue to inflate their ranks. And follow the rules of the cult.

Sorry, I have no sympathy anymore. They have had amoke opportunity to be at peace. They chose a war to the finish.
