This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Lower than what the Vietnamese, Algerians or Afghans paid.
So they took all the land except for a tiny sliver with minimal natural resources and no connection to the west bank and then put it under blockade.
Because there is absolutely no reason for the IDF to be there. The idea that a God gave them the land in exchange for parts of babies penises is absurd as a legal argument. The Palestinians did not start the fight, people who managed to get all of Eastern Europe to hate them and then decided to move to Palestine started the conflict.
I'm pretty sure there were Jews in the middle-east (and in Israel specifically) long before Eastern Europe hated the Jews.

This is a dead giveaway that you're actually attacking Jews, not Israel.
(Also, Muslims practice circumcision as well, so you could say the same thing about Gazans.)
Are you serious? Are you applying any charity to that comment at all? There's very obviously a religious factor to the existence of Israel and their claim to the land and they will proudly tell you that they are taking this land because God promised it to them. I don't think there's any point to litigating this kind of argument on the motte because Israel and Jewishness are so tightly linked that the only point to saying something like this is to uncharitably attack somebody.
How many Israelis have told you this?
The two that jump to mind first are Danny Danon and David Ben-Gurion, the latter of whom is considered fairly influential in Israel to my knowledge - but I've got a long list of Israelis making public statements along these lines to bring up if those don't satisfy (and anecdotal stories of people at protests talking about it, but I didn't actually catch their names).

Really? Because I don't recall anyone griping about a Vietnamese "genocide". And none of those conflicts were existential for the other side. But you already know this, because you've been told this repeatedly and failed to address it.
Singapore also has no natural resources. Gaza has access to the ocean. The blockade is entirely a result of Gazan aggression after the unilateral withdrawal.
Possession is nine tenths of the law. There's no reason for Hamas to be outside Gaza. Your argument about Jews getting killed is entirely based on force and who is stronger. If we're talking who is stronger, then let's see who's stronger. It's beyond ridiculous to be "might makes right" when it comes to Hamas shooting up Israeli towns and then gnashing your teeth about the eternal Jew when Israel bombs Gaza. Pick an argument, you don't get both.
If you think it's Jews' own fault when they get killed then what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
