Hi Paul,
Yes well I remember those Sydney nurses, it wasn't long ago.
I'm pretty certain the thing that was 'fuelling Jew hatred' was GAZA.

But hey, I suppose when you go to the trouble of knocking off all the countries around you that supported the Palestinian cause so that you can do what you originally wanted to do in the beginning, and get away WITH IT without with the wrath of your neighbours, then you're not going to worry about what anyone else thinks are you.

'We've been murdering and assassinating people for decades to finally be in this position, don't all you non-Jews understand We've come so far!'

"That directly contradicts how democracy functioned rhetorically earlier in the discussion. If it was never the justification, it wouldn’t need repeated defence or clarification."

"Because I never said democracy was anyone's sole justification"

Its amazing that he say two diametrically opposed things in the one thread and still thinks he has some credibility.

But note how he slipped the world 'sole' in. This will become his latest path to backtracking.

No, I'm not backtracking in the slightest, mhaze.

There's nothing contradictory about saying a claim functioned as a justification while explicitly rejecting the idea that it was the sole one. That distinction only matters because you reframed my criticism as "the justification" to make it easier to knock down. I've already clarified scope and laid out the sequence.

Try again - without the projection, preferably.
