They are insecure and want to appear smart, and think long writing == smart.

To be contrarian isn't to be a "free thinker", it's to be led around like a dog on a leash. You're just a reactionary saying the opposite of an actual opinion.

If I had to wager, I'd say both of those points stem from being bullied in school more often than not.

If by "near eastern" you mean Khazar, then yes.

This is the paper you linked to btw, just absolute mythical nonsense:

> Cohanim (plural of “Cohen,” the Hebrew word for priest) are, in Biblical tradition, the descendants of Aaron the brother of Moses; Levites are, in that tradition, considered to be those male descendants of Levi, the third son of the patriarch Jacob and paternal ancestor of Aaron, who are not Cohanim. The Cohanim have both rights and duties in religious law, as well as being subject to restrictions that do not apply to the other castes.

Uses the term "pro-pallies", calls other people bots. You can't make this up. Do you even know how you sound to normal people?

Lol that you cropped out the rest of that sentence:

> This has indeed been attempted, with the MSY results interpreted plausibly to suggest an overwhelming majority of Near Eastern ancestry on the Ashkenazi male line of descent11,18,19,20,21, albeit with much higher levels (>50%) of European (potentially east European) lineages in Ashkenazi Levites22, suggesting a possible Khazar source in that particular case.

It's always a good thing when a terrorist, genocidal country goes away. Israel is worse than Nazi Germany as it's lasted longer and has much deeper influence on the rest of the world. We'll all be better off when it's gone. No more pedophile blackmail, no more political bribes, no more stealing my tax dollars, no more manipulating my media, no more removing my rights and most importantly no more genocide of Palestinians!

You are not arguing in good faith. Ashkenazis are not native to Palestine. Genetic records show they are from Eastern Europe. Building a country outside of Eastern Europe requires ethnic cleansing and genocide, which is exactly what they've been doing. If Poland or the Ukraine wanted to rename themselves "Israel" and make Judaism their country's official religion, no one would have a problem with it. It's the slaughter of Palestinians on their indigenous land that the world rightfully rejects. This will be my last comment in this thread because it's become nothing but a hasbara fest.

Israel can only exist via ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide. Supporting its "right to exist" is to support all of those things. I do not.

Zionism is the belief that Israel should exist. This whole "one jewish nation" stuff is ridiculous. Scientologists don't have a nation and they don't have a right to go genocide indigenous people to make one.

I won't be responding anymore to this thread since you're not arguing in good faith.

Israel fully depends on the US fighting their wars for them. It's not just the weapons and money we send, it's also cover in the UN and elsewhere, our media running Zionist propaganda and all of the wars we've fought on Israel's behalf. Let's put it to the test. No US support, only sanctions. Let's see how far they get.

I'm not avoiding anything. The only country that has ever used nuclear bombs on a population is the US. Both the Soviet Union and South Africa had nuclear weapons and were successfully dissolved.

Are you saying all Jews support Israel? I’m told that’s antisemitism.

@dang already warned this guy to stop posting Israeli propaganda a few days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49938968

He’s been doing it non-stop ever since. The only reason dang even did that is because he banned an anti-genocide poster and another commenter pointed out the double standard on this site.

Yes, Israel has spied on and stolen nuclear material from many countries, answering your own question as to why the world will be better off without them.
