Looks like a war is looming in Israel

[jellyrug]

Yet here you are, still posting. Ego, anyone?

Sure, as I said, posting articles about the war, not posting or defending my opinion.

If I post an article, and the response is an attack, as from you and Blanca, you are just rewinding and replaying the same old stuff over and over. Blanca since 2012, perhaps even further back.

Really, try and add a bit of value, other than your Mano Mano ego battle.

Throughout this entire thread, over and over, the only thing you have done is whined. No substance about logical solutions, no substance on strategy to end the war, stop the carnage, really no substance at all. Any attempt to draw you into an intellectual logical discussion, of how to get from point A to B, failed.

None of us, save Blanca have added anything in quite a while. Pages. I have stated possible outcomes and you use your personally edited memory and your other favorite tool, personal attacks, when you exhaust your ability to demand that your way is correct, and define it as intellectual.
It’s probably worked for most of your life, so I get why.

The very real thing we can all face is...........we are all on a Hayabusa forum and nothing we say or feel will mean a hill of beans when it comes to world events......

Nobody really cares what we think and all it is seeming to do is get people against each other here on the forum....

We all have very different life experiences which that can be to the benefit of current world events...or it can be a detractor.......

Remind me about your view of possible outcomes?

A debate is either won, or lost. Those who don’t win, or lose get stuck in the middle, defending their ego’s. I often lose a debate, because I don’t let my ego get in the way.

Only you can decide where you fit.

My attempts to draw Blanca into an intellectual debate, was met with name calling and a final statement saying something like he would rather be a non-intellectual than a murderer.

My attempt to draw you into an intellectual debate ended often with a bruised ego and no logical substance, other than I think I am always correct.

No time now. I'll type later

I agree with everything you say.

I find it very interesting though, to explore how others think, and if they complain about an issue, but are not willing to offer what they think might be a solution, to try and figure out how their minds really work.

Yep, we all have very different life experiences and we have different opinions about a lot of things.

And we have egos of very different sizes.

I would like to see a 2 state system finally employed in Gaza. The Israeli and Palestinian population in the area are for it, but Netanyahu is firmly against it, and Hamas remains a problem.

I made another post going into it with a little more elaboration and it led us to discuss what Biden's course of action should be. My opinion is that it should be minimal; it's not our (this country's) deal. The ongoing disagreement seems to revolve on whether sympathy for the innocents in the Gaza region adds up to antisemitism.

I don't think either one of us is capable of knowing without a doubt the right thing to do about Gaza, without seeing the circumstances, boots on the ground type thing. I don't dislike debate, I don't like the practice of questioning a person's thought process based on a perceived inability to intellectually explore. That's what you do, intentionally or not, you attack personally. I imagine it's been successful for you before, so I get it. You say a person has an opinion based on emotion or just being dense when actually it's an opinion that doesn't match yours. As Bee said, none of our opinions don't add up to a hill of beans on this.
Trying to figure out how a person's mind works is an honorable task and takes time and intricacies that we don't really have on an internet forum. I don't feel any loss in our discussion, and I doubt you feel any either, as we aren't friends.
