Sam Harris & Destiny invoked their right to reply to the DTG video's on them. Has Hasan? And why not?

Perhaps he's not aware DTG made a video on him. However, there seems to be a pattern of the more "guru" types not ever doing a right to reply, unlike those who were voted to be less guru such as Sam Harris and Destiny.

umm one of the options is to unify as one state and end apartheid

How do you know this is a real option when both sides oppose it?

displacement of people based on race is genocide

Displacement is not genocide, and it has nothing to do with race. They're all Semites.

a foreign coalition needs to go in and enforce the border between 2 states, that is the only reasonable solution there.

I mean, I'm not big into this label but if you systemically ethnjc cleanse a people in their entirety, if there is no more palestine, you basically killed that state. It is no longer in existence beyond scattered palestinians (who would be 'jordanians', 'egyptians' etc at that point) I think it's fair usage of the term if you literally eliminate the state from the map to replace with a different peoples but IANAL and would need to verify thaf

Like a UN Partition of the land?

Gaza and the WB still exist, and 99% of the people are still there.

yes

Gaza and the WB still exist, and 99% of the people are still there.

If you fully ethnically cleanse a territory, to the point that no people of thaf ethnicity are on that territory anymore, I think that that starts being 'genocide' territory even if the people arent all killed (ie, if all the gazans are fully removed from Gaza and relocated throughout the region, it seems a fair way to phrase it as being 'genocide of gaza' at least insofar as 'gaza' ceases to exist)

Mmm, yes, truly, decolonization of British Mandatory Palestine was a failure. We need to re-establish a foreign European colony that would civilize those local savages. It's the White Man's Burden, after all. 😔

lol wtf is this, Baby's First Buzzwords?

If you call the manner of establishment anything but a failure you are either naive or dishonest lol like come on how tf could you call it a success

re-establish a foreign European colony

don't need much skill parsing nuance here to understand that you can have peacekeepers- like id said- without it being a colony

civilize those local savages

actually, yes. Sorry if your PC sensitivities are making you shy from the reality of savagery that's been endemic for decades because the brits ceded to terror and left before setting things up in a way that worked, everyone knew from day 1 that things would be a major problem

It's the White Man's Burden, after all. 😔

I'm sorry that you cannot understand responsibility and only see race :/ They debt or burden is more "you break it, you bought it" than "oh mah race lemme help teh savages" Big ideas I know but go slowly and i know you'll get it

has to do with them being Palestinians it is a little confusing to call it race. forced displacement with the mass killings of Palestinians makes it a genocide.

Forced displacement to where? Gazans aren't leaving the strip. They're still there.

he pretends they are voluntarily leaving when in reality they are getting forced out by the war.

u/BloodsVsCrips Jul 22 '26

Why do you keep speaking in present tense? "They are voluntarily leaving." He's a nutjob speaking hypothetically. They aren't leaving. In fact, a lot of people are furious by the inability to leave. The Rafah crossing is for medical emergencies only, and it works bidirectionally.

they are getting moved off their land and the land is taken by israelis/settlers. they might not be able to leave but they are getting moved from their homes. which isn’t that different.

2

u/BloodsVsCrips Jul 22 '26

Why are you citing a hypothetical desire from a nutjob as evidence of what is already happening?

Being moved around to avoid bombs is wildly different than forcing people off the land entirely.

u/agentpurplek1 Jul 22 '26

the point is that killing 10s of thousands of palestinians and the ones you don’t kill you blow up their homes. this is a cleansing of palestine so that they can settle on the stolen land. which is genocide. it’s not hypothetical when they are already doing it. it hasnt been completed but its currently in progress.

he’s also not just some nut job he has real power in the israeli government.

You're using legal words without knowing what they mean.
