EV chargers have a standard that everyone other than Tesla uses. EU is basically forcing usb-c to become the standard for phones and laptops. The plugs in your house have a standard. The batteries in your remote have a standard. The various mechanisms by which we are communicating over the Internet have many standards. Standards are regularly implemented and entitely possible.

Not saying anything about this implementation but standards are incredibly common and more the rule than the exception. They don’t even need to be followed 100% to be effective.

Yes let’s not blame Hamas for building their bases in these places. Let’s not acknowledge that Hamas is still launching rockets every day at cities full of civilians. Let’s ignore that Hamas exclusively targets civilians. Let’s avoid that. Let’s only blame the Jews.

Note the keyword there: only

This is what happens when fake leftists apply their aesthetic politics to everything. They start unironically doing apologism for terrorist governments.

Should Israel have never supported Hamas to undermine Palestine? Absolutely. Should we be apologizing for Hamas’ war crimes? No.

It is so embarrassing how few people understand how our system of government works. The President is not a king.

Good points

Wow a terrorist government that hasn’t held a free and fair election in decades (or possibly ever) is shirking all responsibility for their people. Color me shocked.

Where has dismantling worked without giving way to exploitation and coercion?

This is very contested land. The people living there before them had just driven out the people living their before them who had also done the same and it goes on like that for a very long time. When you get back to it the best archaeological records say the earliest people there were likely one of the less popular sects of Jews.

If we’re going by who was living there then everyone after the Jews is an occupier that denied today’s Jews the land of their ancestors. But this is a bad argument.

The truth is in the details:

Palestine and Israel both became states at the same time. There were both Arabs and Jews living there.

Jews had purchased land from Arabs living there before Israel became a state.

A lot of that land was very empty.

The Ottomans kept very poor land ownership records. No one knows who exactly owned what.

There were several wars started by Palestine against Israel where the Palestinians lost land.

The Gaza strip and West Bank are undeniably Palestinian land. Israel needs to stop attacking the West Bank and taking its land.

Gaza, Iran, and all the nationalist organizations and governments that believe in the genocide of Jews as the end goal here need to be removed by their people.

Yeah dude you’ve just solved the question of where to send 8m people of various means who are so widely discriminated against that they formed a state to defend their remaining people.

The answer of where to send them both is nowhere. It’s to cease fire and everyone accepts a two state solution.

The uncomfortable question no one wants to answer.

You can’t just start with an unsupported assertion and derive a logical conclusion from it. Your axioms need to be provably true. Logical reasoning does not work when bases on either false or unfalsifiable premises.
