• The Perfect Frame for Steve

    From Art Sackman@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 13 15:05:34 2023
    Racist
    Misogynist
    AntiSemite
    Misopediac

    Steve is a racist and misopediac for opposing school choice to
    enable urban black children to receive a quality education. Steve cares much more in protecting failed urban school systems that, year in and year out, cannot adequately educate urban black children. He puts the
    system ahead of children.

    Steve is a misogynist for wanting to require that Womens' sports
    include biological men who are transgendered. Women would have to compete against biological men, which creates unfair and unbalanced competition. Steve also wants to require women to accept biological
    men with penises in women, bathrooms, locker rooms, dressing
    rooms and spas.

    Steve is a misopediac for for supporting removal of children's sex
    organs, which is some cases renders them sterile. Steve supports
    sterilization of children. Steve does not understand that a child is not competent and mature enough to consent to such surgery. Steve
    mistakenly asserts that a parent can give such consent to a child.
    There are much less dangerous activities that a child cannot give
    consent to, nor can a parent give consent to, such as sexual relations
    and joining the military, and driving a car (under age 16).
    These things are just not allowed, no matter what.
    Steve also supports hormone treatments to prevent puberty, which is dangerous, unnatural, and irreversible.

    Steve is an antisemite for supporting Hamas, a world terrorist organization that attacks Jewish civilians in Israel. Hamas' agenda includes the
    removal of Israel from the Middle East, replacing all of it with an Islamic Palestinian state. Hamas does not recognize the existence of Israel. Furtherance of Hamas goals will cause a second holocaust of Jews,
    there are about 6.3 million Jewish citizens in Israel, who Hamas
    wants to eliminate.

    Below I have cited a wide variety of citations documenting the heinous antisemitery of Hamas.

    Yes, as I said, you're trying to frame the argument so that any
    opposition is indefensible.

    And I'm not defending Hamas, just pointing out the weaknesses in your
    argument. If you reject Hamas, you're rejecting the governing body of
    Israel's Palestinian Gaza Strip, therefore rejecting any diplomatic or political solution to their ongoing problems.

    I'm not saying that they aren't in power, I'm just calling them out

    At any rate, they are not interested in any diplomatic or political

    on Israel and its civilian population.

    What a ridiculous argument. Hamas entire doctrine and premise for being

    If that should ever occur Hamas knows they would quickly be removed

    Why would you make a claim that is so easily refuted? Just because
    you, a perpetually wound-up racist criminal sociopath, believe nonsense
    that you heard on Fucks Lies a few years ago is a long, long way from
    meeting the minimal standard of common knowledge.

    There hasn't been a Palestinian election since and their most recent planned attempt was aborted.

    You can't even get Hamas and Fatah to sit down and talk. Everytime anyone tries to negotiate with Fatah,

    That's a moral judgment. Politics and diplomacy are ways to get past
    historical misdeeds, as you pointed out with the rehabilitation of
    Jewish terror groups when they became part of the state of Israel.

    At any rate, they are not interested in any diplomatic or political
    solution that recognizes Israel's right to exist. Nor will they cease their attacks
    on Israel and its civilian population.

    Takes two to make that happen.

    BS....the long reign of Hamas terror is enabled by stupid western assistance

    Hamas was the declared Palestinian wing of Sadat's assassins.

    You missed the updated covenant:

    Plenty to disagree with! But Article 16 is the essence of the point I
    raised without agreeing or disagreeing.

    This is the point you tried to make
    "And I'm not defending Hamas, just pointing out the weaknesses in your argument. If you reject Hamas, you're rejecting the governing body of Israel's Palestinian Gaza Strip, therefore rejecting any diplomatic or political solution to their ongoing problems."

    and it's odd that you grant Gaza to Israel.....Are you Egyptian?

    You're just nitpicking an apostrophe to be argumentative.

    But the updated covenant still rejects the existence of Israel
    and does not support your supposed point even with article 16
    which reasserts rejection of Israel.

    Toldja there was plenty to disagree with.

    What you advocate hasn't worked forever.

    You overestimate Western influence.

    There's zero equivalence. It's just incredibly stupid to try to compare them.

    Negotiating with bad people is the equivalence.

    yes recognize Israel's right to exist.
    That will earn you goodwill.
    and come to the table and use that goodwill.

    I didn't necessarily mean you did. Gotta admit, though, that there
    aren't many calls on Israel.

    According to Shmoo-Sack, most of what you say here is "lies". He should
    reveal his amazing technology (or ESP) that underpins that accusation.
