How sadly true. Dennis Prager says it best on the subject of the Jews as "God's chosen people".

No matter how objective one attempts to be, few can see past their own bias.

[@unisophia]

you should consider yourself among the biased :) if your measure of someone else’s objectivity is whether or not his views match yours, you don’t seek objectivity. if your measure of objectivity is a “golden middle” between two viewpoints you deem biased, you probably seek objectivity, but by means that will never give you any :) middlegtound being always true is a fallacy. therefore, you don’t really seek objectivity. your goal is either confirmation bias you refuse to admit, or arrogant oversimplification which is probably a result of neoMarxist ideological brainwash you also seek to confirm :) therefore, in bith cases what you are seeking isn’t objectivity, but some form of confirmation bias :)

[@garyhill4990]

@@paulsimonmccarthy9209 No, or, maybe now that I think more about it. At the end of the day, most complex issues are more subjective than objective anyway. We all have our own personal experiences that contribute to our understanding of things. If I witness what to me seems to be an atrocity, I have many personal experiences, beliefs and biases built up over the years that would make me view that act as an atrocity. You, on the other hand, grew up with a completely different set of circumstances and see the event as justice. Who is there to appeal to for clarity? At that point, we have to seek our highest ideals, if we haven't already, and conform our actions to those ideals. To me, the universal concept of love trumps all else. What is the outcome that has the potential to produce harmony between all parties? Love will temper all biases if we will let it.

[@paulroberts8071]

It's not clear if 1400 non combatants did die in this " terrible massacre " ? The majority may have been combatants including women soldiers of the IDF. Some non combatants were caught in the cross fire. 40 babies were not beheaded. That was shown to be a blatant lie. How many more lies and exaggerations have been involved in the Israeli version of events ? Even if it could be truthfully be described as a massacre on October 7 what is indisputable is the Genocide that Israel is now carrying out in Gaza. 7000 to 8000 deaths of innocent civilians so far and rising. Half of them children. How could that be justified ?

[@sbaumgartner9848]

This is the first time I've listed to both men. I found it very interesting and the comments made helped me round out the deep dive into the history of this area. I' try not to take sides for the situation before October 7 as I think both groups have made significant mistakes. But what Hamas did on October 7 was totally unacceptable. It's clear than many of the Gazans who made it into Israel and the kibbutz, music festival and the military bases were a combination of top tier to 3rd tier Gazans fighters but I think many would have taken the addictive, amphetamine-type stimulant drug Captagon that Syria produces and distributes with ease in the region. This drug would have made it much easier to act like mad men and horrific forms of killing would have been easier.

[@bearowen5480]

Mister Katz is right that the internal social and political upheaval in Israel prior to October 6th was certainly one of the factors that encouraged Iran and its proxy, Hamas, to attack when they did. A deeply divided Israeli population on the verge of civil war made the country incredibly vulnerable to the kinds of attacks the world saw three weeks ago. It forces us to examine whether Israel's dream of security, peace, and prosperity can continue to flourish when it is so profoundly conflicted by a death struggle between evenly divided philosoohical visions for its future. It becomes an existential question of whether Israel can survive ideological collapse from within while coherently organizing its security apparatus sufficiently to defeat its external enemies from destroying it from without. I personally side with Netanyahu, Likud's coalition, and their slim majority of constituents on the right in this struggle against the secular socialists on the Left. The hopes and dreams of the Jewish people hang in the balance.

[@stxstudio]

Take note people of the US where he says the Israelis were essentially at war with each other politically which was going in a very bad direction and how this lack of focus and direction and in fighting opened them up to attack when they were weak. Look at where the US is right now how divisive things are right now. Americans are fighting Americans. We are fighting politically we are fighting about what is a damn woman, we are fighting such minimally important things and we are opening ourselves up to disaster. Don't think the other powers that be like china are now watching and happy to see the weakness in America at this time.

[@TheMonkeyking555]

The proportionality argument is absurd but the analogy with Dresden isn’t the best. The destruction of Dresden didn’t play any significant role in ending the war and the British public has been very divided over it ever since. A far better analogy would be with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which though terrible did end the war in a way far better than would have been the case otherwise.

[@williamjohnston6746]

This comment isn't intended to be incendiary however I'm surprised that I've not heard any references to Israel's oldest and most reliable historical reference covering their conflicts for millennium. Even if only from a historical perspective it has proven to be correct throughout human history especially concerning the geographical areas in question. This is not a religious zealot comment, it's factual. However I realize that the political left abhors this point of view, even to their own demise.

[@Glory_inthe_3rd77]

It won't be an advantage when they wake up in Hell. In case you haven't already, I encourage you to look for proof and evidence for the things you believe especially the vastly important things about life and go look and see if the King James Bible is actual recorded history or not, if it's told the future and it come true or not, if the places it talks about are here or not and the events and look at any and everything else you might believe and for the proof and evidence of those things.

There are already like a million Arabs and Muslims in Israel as citizens with rights, privileges and political representation there. They dropped the radicalism and live well in Israel. The Palestinians have been given this chance but refuse to do so. And any Arab country that took them in also suffered destabilizing and now they refuse them. They are losing.

I'd appreciate someone answering for me the following. 1) Why was Dresden a city of civilians chosen for such destruction by the British in WW II? Where is a good write up that talks about the British/Allies thinking it would stun the Germans into realizing it was time to end the war. 2) I wish Carr or Katz had talked about how much the use of the Captagon, the addictive, amphetamine-type stimulant made by Syrians and easily distributed throughout the Middle East, had on Hamas and general Gazans supporters /looters to do so much slaughtering. 3) I realize there is corruption or at least the ability to make money as an elected Israeli cabinet member, but why aren't Gazans outraged at the amount of money their leaders manage to make? e.g. Yasser Arafat, the Abou Abbass and family, and the senior Hamas leaders? 4) Plus the senior Hamas leaders live very deluxe comfortable safe lives in Qatar giving orders to the Hamas leaders in Gaza. I guess the hatred of so many Jewish Israelis surpasses the money that is supposed to go to the Palestinians to improve their lives is accepted.

It's plausible that this directive played a role in the incident on Oct. 7th... Additionally, the possibility of 'friendly fire must be considered.'

The Palestinian issue is a just issue historically, humanitarianly and legally. Every people has the right to live freely on their land. They reviewed the United Nations resolutions on the issue. They listened to the opinion of a person known for his fairness and justice and not taking sides. Refer to the old maps. What was the name of this region before 1900? Was it Israel or Palestine? I do not justify any inhumane act. But you must know the motives for everything. Listen to what the Secretary-General of the United Nations said about the Hamas attack, that it did not come out of nowhere and that there was occupation and persecution. I hope you will investigate for yourselves. The issue did not start on October 7th. It began in the year 1917, when Britain was occupying the land of Palestine. There is a quarrel between two people.

Syrian refugees in Canada came with lots of kids and many low skilled/educated parents; this hasn't stopped them from continuing to have more children than the Canadian average. Our apartments aren't built for these larger families. They all got houses to live in thanks to the generosity of their sponsors.

Well, you know what it’s been happening since the Bible, the curse of Cain, Joseph’s brothers, Adam, and Eve we could go on and on pride is a deadly sin . Nice talk.

Are “Jews” synonymous with Israelis?

[@yardi09]

Is stupid synonymous with antisemite?

[@lapserdak24]

Not quite. Yet Muslims boycott Jewish businesses all over the world now. And say it's because of war in Gaza.

[@ArchesBro]

Kind of, because the vast majority who were muslim or christian were basically forced into little ghettos like Gaza or the West Bank cities and denied citizenship. The reason this happens is because the muslims outnumber the jewish people, therefore they are not allowed to vote despite the area they live being policed by the Israelis and all utilities and building permits strictly enforced by Israelis. However, not all jews are Israeli, therefore they are not synonymous at all. Its conflated intentionally to make comparisons to the holocaust to shield them from criticism

[@patriciablue2739]

@@ArchesBro thank you. It also seems to permit the idea of anti-semitism, no?

[@soilentgreenn]

Why ask idiots on the Internet, instead of using the Internet to find out yourself? Look how 1 dumb reply that is a blatantly a lie , have so much power to plans a seed in your mind! That's how it start. There are over 2 1/2 MILLION Arabs in the state of Israel. They have EVERY right as their fellow Jewish country man. Don't take my word for im ,look it up yourself!

Pretty blind arguments there, looks like you failed at the first step of peace - understanding

[@brianlee360]

How about we give up on them both agreeing since that's gotten nowhere...instead howabout a third international power force both into a 2 state solution...their mutual hatred for the power imposing it will unite them...im serious about this...

[@erikrungemadsen2081]

And that is why the British left in the first place, both sides hated their guts. There is something very Monty Pythonesque about such a solution “What have the Romans ever done for us?” But if it stupid and it works, it is not really that stupid.

[@JoanoftheArk300]

I know what they did to the women

[@GGWarMonitor]

Hmm, I wonder why don't Palestinians love their children and are not giving birth to a lot of them.

[@brentoconner2537]

It is my understanding that the Judges at the Israeli Supreme Court had all but complete control of who was chosen to replace them. That court was constituted by extremely left thinking Justices that perpetuated an extremely left trajectory for Israel. The Knesset was continually being overturned by that liberal court notwithstanding that conservatives held majority. While this is an oversimplification the fact remains that since Israel has no written constitution the Supreme Court has no foundational governance nor citizen restraint. The fifteen members of the Court not the Knesset in essence makes the law.

[@A.A.7365]

That’s exactly right. It’s that left wing pressure and decision making that resulted in the naive policies for handling Hamas and which are largely to blame for this current catastrophe.

[@bryanbergman4241]

I'm an American Jew who's lived in Israel for years. People have never been particularly nice to me. To say nothing of the atrocious and daily rudeness and rip off business practices. There's tons of employment discrimination against Americans, immigrants in general..the level of affluence here is ridiculous compared to many rust belt cities..I'm sick and tired of seeing Israel get free aid that amounts to an entitlement package from American tax payers. When Trump says global freeloaders are gonna to start paying, it's music to my ears

[@TimothyDeSomerville]

October 7th saved Netandyahoo from being sacked as PM too. Netayahoo got lucky again thru the blood of his fellow Israelis, just like he did from the assasination of Yitzak Rabin.

[@edgarskalnins5390]

It wasnt luck, they orchestrated it.

[@fsnox]

How is it ok to say 'the world will be better place when palestinians cherish their children the same way israeli's do?' for an 'expert' its an extremely ignorant and dehumanizing comment to make. Have we not seen the grief of the parents who lost their babies in Gaza? its unfortunate the conversation is always is about Israel winning. rather than looking at the nuances of how Israel is continuining to move towards a far right stance where somehow they believe they are special enough have only jewish state where no other ethnicities can exist. this is clear just from the ministers in their parliament and their comments. Israel's existence as a occupying state is exactly the reason why antisemitism is so prevalant around the world. and this is coming from anti zionist jews. Acts of the IDF is just like how they behaved in 1948 and the world is fine with it.

[@jenniferwenkel9191]

Explain Arab Israelis and Christian Israelis then? It's called FREEDOM of RELIGION. The only Mono-Theo states are Islamic Countries.

[@fsnox]

Explain "Israeli". There is only Palestenian. They can be Arab, Christian, Jew or whatever other religion you want. Islamic states don't stop you practicing your religion and there is no race supremecy. Zionists literally believe they are a superior race to everyone else. It's out on plane sight

[@sidbullet1]

Hang on, are you actually blaming antisemitism around the world on the existence of the Israeli state?? 😂 you missed out on over 1,000 years of history buddy - why do you think Zionism was even conceived as a political ideology? It was antisemitism. You’re a Painfully uninformed commenter

[@desolator108]

The occupiers can never claim to be victims thus can never claim self defense. At the core of the conflict, that's the fact that matters

[@orboakin8074]

Any group or people willing to throw human life away for ideology are doomed to fail as no one,even on their side,will ever work with them. There are already like a million Arabs and Muslims in Israel as citizens with rights, privileges and political representation there. They dropped the radicalism and live well in Israel. The Palestinians have been given this chance but refuse to do so. And any Arab country that took them in also suffered destabilizing and now they refuse them. They are losing.

[@maGnetar333]

Spin history any way that keeps you deluded. Almost all Islamic nations are OCCUPIERS and medieval savages. Their core values are based on spreading their religion by violence and conquest. No scope for any false equivalence. No matter how many indoctrinated drones spew a convoluted narrative, squeal garbage at 'protests' supporting Jihadis, REMEMBER....Israel will suffer, but it will ALWAYS PREVAIL, always. Islam is going to be DIRECTLY responsible for its own demise.

Hamas and Islam are evil. But the Jews have sinned in their tx of the Palestinian people.

[@dougcruickshank7393]

When they got to the bit where they both blamed the Palestinians for not loving their children, I was done. How utterly disgusting to suggest that.

[@malawiplaces315]

Maybe you are not familiar with Gaza education.

[@sidbullet1]

Except it’s 100% true. Palestinian culture is one of martyrdom. Parents encourage their children to martyr themselves for the cause and the brainwashing begins as early as kids can speak. Hamas leaders openly say this and they’re proud of it…
