You may want to learn what racism is buddy. Because this ain't it. Nationalism maybe? Sure. But going around calling everything racist because it involves people not of euro-ethnic origin, isn't how racism works. I don't think Palestinian people are inferior to anyone in any way - but I get it. You gotta play that victim card. It's probably won you a lot of arguments at the playground.

So, my comment about misanthropy was more to let you know that you were using an appeal to emotion in your argument. An appeal to emotion isn't a valid argument for something. Especially when the person you're arguing with, doesn't give much of a damn for people's emotions.

This is basic Trolly Car problem level shit my man. Don't pull the switch, someone dies that you know. Pull the switch, and 5 people die that you don't know.

I choose to let the person die that I know, to save the 5 others. What you're doing, is letting the 5 die because the person you know is close to you. That's all. Despite my misanthropy, the benefit for humanity lay more with making sure we don't lose America to a much larger problem.

I'd gladly turn a blind eye to Palestine temporarily to make sure we don't lose Palestine, Ukraine, Taiwan, and America on the larger stage. And you better bet that I'll be putting up a stink for the Palestinian people just as soon as Trump is NOT elected.

You lack foresight.
