Well go ahead and tell me where you think I’m wrong or inconsistent. Maybe I’m missing something. And opinions are informed by beliefs to the extent that the two are effectively synonymous, at least in my view, but feel free to argue it.
at least you'd have that choice with Christians
don't be too sure. many who didn't convert were beheaded, or enslaved, historically
He's intentionally naive. Or maybe unintentionally since he is irreligious.
You're changing the subject from what I asked you to expound on, apparently because you don't have anything good to add. I never said I wanted to live in any theocracy, christian or muslim. I said you can live in muslim countries without converting. There are no christian theocracies left that I'm aware of. In the past, you'd get the same treatment in a christian theocracy — for denying the ridiculous trinity for one: https://www.gotquestions.org/Calvin-Michael-Servetus.html
I told you if you wanted to talk about the jews/Israel and this conflict from WWII and british white paper that I would talk about it. Not sure I could've laid it out any more plainly.
@denialist post 920.
Yes, that's what I was responding to. You suggested I might be mistaken about my understanding of the history and inconsistent or biased in my views. I was asking you to expand on that, specifically. I said:
I don't know what you believe about the founding of the state of Israel but it seems tto have the typical "evil apartheid nation stolen from palestine" flavor to it. So it struck me that maybe you weren't aware of all the restrictive laws against jewish immigration during the war when intelligence services knew what was happening and perhaps how that played out into jewish violation of british white paper. It seems like you subscribe ot an alternate history.
This is probably the third time I've posted this. It's not long. Watch it and tell me where you disagree, to start:
That was before Israel was formed. What’s the significance? …I thought it was notable that the 700k Jews got expelled from Arab countries only after the state was formed.
Basically the world turned their back on the plight of the jew, galvanizing support among jews for a homeland in palestine so it kind of plays in to everything that happened afterwards.
So you are arguing that because the international powers turned their backs against the plight of the Jews, the subsequent formation of Israel and all that ensued was justified?
Are you curious what the Israelis think of their government, are they absolved?
