Think this merits its own thread...

Discuss my fellow 2+2ers..

AM YISRAEL CHAI.


[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD

2+2 Rules

Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...


These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.

To reiterate some of the points:

1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.

2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.

3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.

4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.

5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.

If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.

Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]

If only the Israeli military hadn't been killing so many people and destroying basically the entire infrastructure of what you characterize as an independent country.

Yeah that should be cucks and leave with their peni tucked. They should not demand the hostages be released. And end the blockade. That won't spark more oct 7ths

I think you're moving the goalposts

There is antisemitism going on at college campuses. It's not all anti zionism

What would anti Zionism look like?


I agree there is anti semitism going on at campuses. It’s always there, the second most likely group to be victims of hate crimes.


Columbia hired extra security

Many jews went home

But there were some seders so no antisemitism?

Just lol

I'm glad there were nice uninterrupted seders. That doesn't mean no antisemitism

Some of the protesters are really there to try to get better conditions for Palestinians

Many hate Jews

You could be a more serious person. Why do the right-wingers all talk like Jr. High School boys with this cuck and beta ****?

And, being sarcastic doesn't help make a point. There could well be another October 7th in 100 years marking the anniversary of bombing a hospital in Gaza. War begets war. What you're hoping to achieve is a Treaty of Versailles.


Anonymous Jewish student:

The hybrid semester is a capitulation, not a solution. All it does is make the campus Judenfrei. Everyone else will either go to class as usual, or take zoom from the encampment. We're the only ones who have no choice.

The lesson is

Jews feel unsafe on campus

Bill and others are like "lol jews you are so sensitive. Get over yourselves "

I'll answer this myself. It's because the right worships power. That's maybe the most defining characteristic of being right-wing. Luciom just openly talks about that.


You keep calling me a right winger as an argument to attack me when I've mostly been supportive of biden regarding Israel

I guess it's the best way to attack me when i support Israel as a jew


All of the sudden, Jews who support Israel are alt right

I call you are right-winger because I'm familiar with your posting from well before 10/7.

I didn't say alt-right because I don't think you've always been all about the culture war like they are, but if you're going to go around talking about "cucks" maybe it fits. And talking about peace as being "cuck" is pretty damn pepe the frog whatever alt-right stuff.


And ive stated im likely not voting Trump at least 20 times in this thread but that is ignored by you because jews that like Israel are yucky

If Israel withdraws, doesn't get hostages back, doesn't get a border zone, and leaves hamas in power just because they are afraid of the big bad USa, i can't think of a word other than cuck that would fit

I wouldn't vote trump (for very different reasons) but if you exclusively care about Israel , trump admin is almost certainly going to be better for Israel than a Biden admin


by metsandfinsfan P

I never claimed anything about who you are voting for next time, but you voted for Trump before. Have you changed because of something he said about Israel? Something there bothers you, but it didn't bother you when he started his Presidential campaign by calling Mexicans rapists? So you are just tribal. That doesn't make you not Trumpy.


Trump would be better for Israel
Trump would be better for the economy
Trump would probably even be better for most foreign policy

That all being said i probably won't vote for him. I'm not sure if I'll vote biden either but i would if i wanted to. Actually i could still vote Trump I'm legit undecided

But the point is labeling me right as a way to say i voted for Trump in 16 so I'm deplorable so any time I'm mad at you I'll call you right wing as an insult is more pathetic than me putting jew in quotes.


You voted for Trump. You like the NYP. I'm pretty sure I've seen you talk about the rw stuff (everything is soooo dangerous.....Democrats are letting the animals out of jail....cities are overrun with homeless)

Who did you vote for in 2020?

I suppose you call yourself a centrist because you might vote for Democrat?

I don't mind not calling you right-wing, but I suspect you are accurately described of right-of-center for the United States and from my perspective that is already pretty right-wing.


I am right center that isn't the point

My point is you are calling me that as an insult

You are denying that our not realize that


How are we allowing these scumbags to take over campuses in this country?


I'm definitely a republican but that's not relevant

My biggest problem with Trump is ukraine policy and the fact that i do think he may try to hard for revenge

If biden turns hard on Israel i would vote Trump but overall I've been okay with how biden has handled Israel. I think Israel should ignore him and invade rafah, but i understand why biden is urging him not to

None of this is really relevant to the fact that every time you get mad at me you automatically call me right wing as an insult


by metsandfinsfan P

So you're right center and you're upset that I'm calling you right-wing because *I* don't like right-wing?

I don't like right center either!

I can't say I'm perfect about this as I probably overdo it with Trumpkin, but I don't call large classes of people deplorables. I objected to that in fact and was criticized for that objection back in the peak Bernie days.


The nypost was kicked off Twitter for posting the hunger biden story. Everything they posted was true 😀

Nothing i was saying had anything to do with right wing

You just called me right wing to try to insult me

And you honestly don't even realize that if exactly what you did


I'm not upset that you called me right wing

I'm upset that you did it at an irrelevant time to insult me Because that's the only way you know how to win an argument apparently
