Speaking of Israel...

[Husar]

Quick question for you all, so I was having a debate with an acquaintance on Facebook about this conflict, and she kept bringing up how the rest of the world isnt paying nearly enough attention to "(insert crisis here)" and saying how it was antisemitism how much everyone was concentrating on Israel. I said she was practicing a classic case of Whataboutism, to which she denies the claim, saying that can only be leveled at the USSR (ignoring how she was appealing to hypocrisy). Is that a valid claim or not? I think that its perfectly valid to say its Whataboutism.

You're probably right, but you should take her up on how she does apparently not deny Israel's wrongdoing and only complains about the amount of attention it gets. There is probably some antisemitism involved but using that to distract from the actual issues is not a solution.

I think we need a new thread about not voting. It's an interesting topic, where I am right and you are all wrong.

You can start a new topic if you look forward to being proven wrong, but with your attitude it seems either pointless or it will hurt even more when you finally have to admit your mistakes.

Joke dude! There would be no point in debating otherwise.

I must have been wasted when I wrote that last bit. I don't remember it.
