He did not have a mandate: he had a Congress that just barely supported him.

Stop blaming D's for R's. Stop it!

Oh, look, it's the Intercept spewing more Trumpian propaganda. Must be a day.

Gish galloping is more than just lying, it's generating falsehoods faster than they can be refuted, which entails responding to refutations by changing the subject. Like you just did. Again.

New rule: Don't argue with antisemites. Just block them.

@Maggoty

The problem with arguments based on pretending to be stupid is that people are likely to believe you're really that stupid and just write you off.

Go back to my example of "capitalist state" and you'll see that your stupid nonsense argument was pre-refuted.

@Maggoty

You're Gish galloping.

The actual issue is whether, contrary to Iran's slur, Israel is a legitimate nation with a legal right to exist. It is and does, as it was created by the highest international authority.

Cherry-picking historical partitions (thus avoiding India/Pakistan) is a dishonest change of topic.

BS. If they were, you would have been able to.

Are you confused? WWII was in the 1900's, not the 1700's.

And, to remind you, the UN partitioned Mandatory Palestine. Israel accepted this, the Palestinians went to war and lost. Sucks to be them.

@Maggoty

Just like nobody cares that the Palestinians controlled this territory before they lost it. All that matters is who has it now.

The UN decided to partition Mandatory Palestine, with part of it forming Israel and the other forming an independent Palestine. However, the Palestinians rejected this, went to war, and lost.

When you go to war and lose, it's not your land anymore.

Iran denies the legitimacy of Israel. They say it doesn't have any right to exist and their goal is to make it cease to exist, through genocide.

That is why, once again, refusing to call Israel "Israel" and instead calling it the "Zionist state" is a slur and a genocidal threat.

Repeatedly ignoring irrefutable facts is bullshit. Stop bullshitting.

@Maggoty

Yeah, and the Jews were there before that. Welcome to history, where the people owning a land can change.

Fact is, Israel was formed on top of land owned by the Ottoman Empire, not the Palestinians. Britain won it as spoils of war, just like the Palestinians did long ago. Then the Palestinians went to war and lost again. It's just not their land anymore.

If war is a legitimate way to gain land, then Israel legitimately exists and it legitimately owns Palestine.

@Maggoty

This is a lie.

Iran and its pawns refuse to call Israel "Israel", using "Zionist state" as a slur. It would be like the USSR saying America doesn't exist and only calling it the "capitalist state".

The Palestinian claim to the area is rooted in their own colonialism; learn some history.
