They are insecure and want to appear smart, and think long writing == smart.

To be contrarian isn't to be a "free thinker", it's to be led around like a dog on a leash. You're just a reactionary saying the opposite of an actual opinion.

If I had to wager, I'd say both of those points stem from being bullied in school more often than not.

If by "near eastern" you mean Khazar, then yes.

This is the paper you linked to btw, just absolute mythical nonsense:

> Cohanim (plural of “Cohen,” the Hebrew word for priest) are, in Biblical tradition, the descendants of Aaron the brother of Moses; Levites are, in that tradition, considered to be those male descendants of Levi, the third son of the patriarch Jacob and paternal ancestor of Aaron, who are not Cohanim. The Cohanim have both rights and duties in religious law, as well as being subject to restrictions that do not apply to the other castes.

Uses the term "pro-pallies", calls other people bots. You can't make this up. Do you even know how you sound to normal people?

Lol that you cropped out the rest of that sentence:

> This has indeed been attempted, with the MSY results interpreted plausibly to suggest an overwhelming majority of Near Eastern ancestry on the Ashkenazi male line of descent11,18,19,20,21, albeit with much higher levels (>50%) of European (potentially east European) lineages in Ashkenazi Levites22, suggesting a possible Khazar source in that particular case.

> Ashkenazi Jews are descendant from ancient Israeli Jews

Wrong:

It's always a good thing when a terrorist, genocidal country goes away. Israel is worse than Nazi Germany as it's lasted longer and has much deeper influence on the rest of the world. We'll all be better off when it's gone. No more pedophile blackmail, no more political bribes, no more stealing my tax dollars, no more manipulating my media, no more removing my rights and most importantly no more genocide of Palestinians!

You are not arguing in good faith. Ashkenazis are not native to Palestine. Genetic records show they are from Eastern Europe. Building a country outside of Eastern Europe requires ethnic cleansing and genocide, which is exactly what they've been doing. If Poland or the Ukraine wanted to rename themselves "Israel" and make Judaism their country's official religion, no one would have a problem with it. It's the slaughter of Palestinians on their indigenous land that the world rightfully rejects. This will be my last comment in this thread because it's become nothing but a hasbara fest.

Israel can only exist via ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide. Supporting its "right to exist" is to support all of those things. I do not.

Zionism is the belief that Israel should exist. This whole "one jewish nation" stuff is ridiculous. Scientologists don't have a nation and they don't have a right to go genocide indigenous people to make one.

Israel fully depends on the US fighting their wars for them. It's not just the weapons and money we send, it's also cover in the UN and elsewhere, our media running Zionist propaganda and all of the wars we've fought on Israel's behalf. Let's put it to the test. No US support, only sanctions. Let's see how far they get.

I'm not avoiding anything. The only country that has ever used nuclear bombs on a population is the US. Both the Soviet Union and South Africa had nuclear weapons and were successfully dissolved.

Are you saying all Jews support Israel? I’m told that’s antisemitism.

@dang already warned this guy to stop posting Israeli propaganda a few days ago:

He’s been doing it non-stop ever since. The only reason dang even did that is because he banned an anti-genocide poster and another commenter pointed out the double standard on this site.

Yes, Israel has spied on and stolen nuclear material from many countries, answering your own question as to why the world will be better off without them.

Nuclear armed Israel? They literally stole enriched uranium from the US to make that happen. Israel is nothing but a non-stop series of crimes against humanity.

Not only would it be good for the Middle East, it would be good for the entire planet. Imagine a US without Zionist influence?

No, it started with the creation of Zionism, which pre-dates WWII.

Why is this "antisemitic" when it's the clearly stated goal of Israeli leadership? We're also commenting on a post where Israel destroyed an entire city. There's a great twist of propaganda where people are more upset at people being upset about a genocide, then they are about the actual genocide. Expecting that to work is an "avalanche of stupidity".

The Zionist ethnic cleansing and now genocide of Palestinians is even more straight forward than WWII. Europeans created Zionism which at it's very onset, required the removal of Palestinians from their land. They've been enacting that policy with Western support since then.

> The question is who started it.

Zionists. Their ideology, created in Europe in the late 1800s, has the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians at its very core.

Hamas has every right to resist. Unguided rockets? There's IDF in nearly every building in Israel. The excuses used to genocide Palestinians far more aptly describe Israel.

> Pay Palestinians to leave? That’s the easiest way about it!

That’s not what reparations are, that’s ethnic cleansing.

Is there any acknowledgement in Israel that Nakba and the very formation of the country is to blame? That Zionism is a European colonial ideology and at it's very core requires ethnic cleansing? I feel like most of the world has become educated enough to reach this conclusion and thus stands against Israel. The only peaceful way out of the situation Israel is in would be serious and massive reparations (similar to what Germany has given to Jewish people). Is there any support for that?

And yet there’s no way to get yourself blurred in Flock videos.

Working a McJob to make some CEO and their investors rich is not a virtue. The Protestant work ethic really is a toxic ideology that can't die soon enough. It's the very basis of exploitation.

I’m 100% certain that China won’t be sending any goons to my front door.

Good. Over the past few years, VCs have proven that they’re warmongering psychopaths. Hopefully China puts every last one of the Palantir/Flock/Anduril class out of business.
