In reply to the discussion: 'From the river to the sea': Why these 6 words spark fury and passion over the Israel-Hamas war [View all]The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)The top of the head response is 'well, this concerns a war threatening global peace, and in war sides must taken,' but I understand this is hardly a line to press in discussion with you, because you feel, and I do not disagree, that a war on women is certainly going on, one which it is fair to call of global scale and pressed with brutal cruelty. I'm not going to press for points where we might disagree over whether some thing or another is really part of it, because I expect we both find substantial agreement worth having. I do think the relation between mostly idealistic leftists in the West and the various armed bodies of Arab Palestine from Suez on an odd coupling, and not to the credit of the former group. I do not expect they will agree with me, but I will maintain they are wrong, and drink of a poisoned chalice. Because certainly, any body of fundamentalists in arms is on the other side of a war against women, and I would bear that in mind choosing political and cultural causes I wished to forward.
