1/2: Someone I've known for a long while I no longer know socially, as she blew up at me, screaming that Israel should not be a state and that if they won't stop murdering Palestinians en masse and won't get out of the Middle East their slaughter by Gazans, Hamas, and any other anti-colonialist, anti-genocide freedom-fighters would be totally justified. The conversation began when another friend and I were discussing the Two-State Solution and its history.
It's extremely difficult to have...
2/2: ...an intelligent discussion with anyone who isn't thinking reasonably or rationally but who confuses their emotions with Truth. When any faculty for critical thinking is switched off when emotions enter the fray, shit goes down twisted quick, fast, and in a hurry, and nobody, especially me for many years now, gives a shit if someone apologizes later.
3/2: It's often the same with people who are so ardently pro-Israel that they quite firmly and unabashedly say that the Israelis should "kill'em all and let God sort'em out" when it comes to the Palestinians.
Emotions are the nose rings humans get led around by by other humans.
