It’s funny that you single out aid to Israel when we give aid to many different countries. Why do you think only Israeli aid should be abolished?
Yes, there's a parallel thread going on about how liberals single out Israel and barely give a hand slap to non-Jewish countries guilty of far worse.
The more liberals talk, the more they reveal about their dangerous insistence that some minorities are worthy of special benefits and treatment, and other minorities.....criticize them up the wazoo. But they are so convinced of their moral superiority in selecting who is good and who is bad, that they don't see it.
You did say take all the aid to Israel and give it to black people in the form of reparations. Not in those words of course, but see your reply to Rachel. Of all the aid to countries we give, we really only get quid pro quo from one of them in useful technology, and that is Israel. We give aid to Palestine too. And many African countries. And many Latin American countries. And many Middle East countries.
Nope. I pointed out that she is in favor of giving BILLIONS to Israel because that is what we give every single year. I am not against aid but there is no reason to give that much aid out is sympathy for what did not occur here among other reasons, when there are wrongs to be righted in this very country.
There of course are identities and sub identities..... but they are irrelevant to the success or failures in your individual life.
Who your ancestors were simply does not matter... which is why no one is owed anything even if they think their ancestors were mistreated.
Don't look at someone else giving you a handout as your only path to success. Black people neither need nor deserve any assistance in succeeding in life, they'll either do it on their own as many have, or they don't deserve it just like everyone else.
So if I was born in a wealthy suburb, to wealth parents who were doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc, I would have no advantage over someone born into a poor inner-city housing project?
What if your ancestors passed down a genetic trait for heart disease? That does not matter?
What if your ancestors was wealthy and left you millions in stock? That would not matter?
What if your ancestor was a racist and you grew up being subconsciously or consciously indoctrinated to see another race as inferior?
What if your ancestor attended Harvard. Would that have anything with you getting into Harvard?
I can go on and on about how where you come from impacts where you are. Sure, one of the great things about America is that there is room to break out of these castes......but the castes still goes a long way in explaining outcome differentials in life.
No, it actually is not. Israel receives more aid than any other nation and this country has great sympathy about what Jews endured all the way in Germany. We do far more for Israel than we do others. Nowhere did I say it should be abolished.
However, no other nation should receive priority over American citizens whose ancestors were enslaved here and endured Jim Crow until the 1960s. Since Israel receives the most, start significantly cutting from them first.
Israel gets more aid than any other foreign country? That's your bigotry talking. Try again - Arab countries get more, two in particular. But yeah....go back to criticizing Israel.

Yes, you believe Israel is worth of special benefits and treatment over American citizens who are in fact displaced peoples. whose ancestors were never compensated for their slave labor, whose parents or grandparents or they themselves endured Jim Crow
Not a liberal. So take your delusional accusations elsewhere.

Which Arab country receives more? I’m curious and not in favor of that either. Still doesn’t make the billions in aid to Israel necessary. It is not.

Exactly! She didn't say to take the money from the two Arab countries that get more than Israel and give it to blacks, did she? Nope, she said to take it from Israel (IOW, the Jews) and give it to blacks. What a tell.
Wow. LIsten to this liberal ^^^ talk with disdain about me and my fellow Jews. As if we needed any more evidence as to the degree to which liberals harbor animosity toward Jews. (And thanks for demonstrating the overlap between the anti-Israel liberal attitude and the disdain toward Jews.)
Why bring Israel and Jews into this discussion at all?
Pure idiotic drivel. Firstly, I am not a liberal. In fact, I lean libertarian but identify with none. One does not need to be liberal to recognize that Israel should not be receiving so much.
Brought it up to show your hypocrisy. Don’t give American descendants of slaves reparations of any kind but pour billions into Israel because you’re Jewish. It’s not about right and wrong for you. It’s simply about who.

Of course you're a liberal. Your insistence on race-based benefits in college admissions proves it.
And WHY do you have to dump on Israel on a thread having to do with giving blacks other people's momey?
Exactly! She didn't say to take the money from the two Arab countries that get more than Israel and give it to blacks, did she? Nope, she said to take it from Israel (IOW, the Jews) and give it to blacks. What a tell.
Ooooooohhhh that just burns your soul. You want those billions for Israel. Not for American citizens. Your fellow Jews only. Incredibly biased.
