37. Why are you so afraid of engaging in real questions/answers?

The post-Zionists are about as leftwing as it gets in Israel. They aren't for BDS and full RoR like you are.

What do you make of your own views when you realize you could never reach an agreement with Israel's most leftwing activists?

So you support Mahmoud Abbas' peace plan? shaayecanaan May 2013 #57

There was no Mahmoud Abbas plan. We went over this make-believe invisible offer. n/t shira May 2013 #58

And this is why you're a liar shaayecanaan May 2013 #59

I don't recall seeing any of those articles before.... shira May 2013 #60

I linked to the NY Times article before and you ignored it... shaayecanaan May 2013 #61

And youre ignoring it again (nt) shaayecanaan May 2013 #68

There's no set offer there. Only negotiations and bargaining.... shira May 2013 #70

You're refusing to admit facts that even AIPAC's think tank have no problem with... shaayecanaan May 2013 #75

Assuming that's true, it seems reasonable. So why does Abbas deny it.... shira May 2013 #76

Well, just about everyone on the Israeli side confirms that it is true... shaayecanaan May 2013 #77

I'm not Israeli nor am I trying to 'fool' anyone azurnoir May 2013 #23

The point is, you can't even agree with the most leftwing Israelis shira May 2013 #24

ah yet another 'factual' proclomation azurnoir May 2013 #25

Yeah, it is. Try denying it, like you did regarding yr support of RoR. n/t shira May 2013 #29

but shira I'm not denying anything as there is nothing to deny azurnoir May 2013 #31

So I'm right. Why not just admit it? shira May 2013 #32

becuae you are taking pokes at nothing you create the 'dilema' of your chosing azurnoir May 2013 #34

Why are you so afraid of engaging in real questions/answers? shira May 2013 #37

I appreciate the pleasant response oberliner May 2013 #73

The trouble is the word "worse" Scootaloo May 2013 #52

Actually it wasn't Scootaloo May 2013 #28

I get that you don't think much of liberal zionists... shira May 2013 #35

I don't think much of ANYONE who dry-humps sources like those I listed n/t Scootaloo May 2013 #42

I asked about the post-zionist left in Israel. Well? n/t shira May 2013 #44

And I was talking about Oberliner's lack of journalistic standards Scootaloo May 2013 #45

You brought up liberal zionists in your post to Oberliner... shira May 2013 #48

No, I believe post-zionists actually exist n/t Scootaloo May 2013 #49

You're still evading the question. n/t shira May 2013 #50

No, I just answered you Scootaloo May 2013 #53

Post-Zionists are for 2 states, against full RoR. shira Jun 2013 #78

Have you been on vacation, Shira? Scootaloo Jun 2013 #81

Post-Zionists aren't Zionists... shira Jun 2013 #82

Wait. Scootaloo Jun 2013 #83

Really there is only one source that is specifically not allowed and that is azurnoir May 2013 #36

Yes it was oberliner May 2013 #39

Well, I was going by the posted guidelines on the old site Scootaloo May 2013 #43

Fair enough oberliner May 2013 #74

Can't figure Meretz out... shira May 2013 #13

Meretz is definitely a Zionist party oberliner May 2013 #14

you cant figure Meretz out... Israeli May 2013 #16

I see it as a liberal zionist party, not post-zionist shira May 2013 #22

I love Oz and Yehoshua to Israeli May 2013 #69

The way I see it, if Oz & Yeshoshua like Meretz that's good enough for me... shira May 2013 #71

How do you feel seeing your fellow "leftists" here.... shira May 2013 #30

You know as much about "leftists" as you do about "Palestinians" delrem May 2013 #46

Your views are extremely rightwing, not left.... shira May 2013 #47

Q.E.D. delrem May 2013 #56

shira your awareness of what is Rightwing and what is Leftwing (progressive) is azurnoir May 2013 #63

Where would you put Ma'an News on that continuum? oberliner May 2013 #64

neither Right nor Left Ma'an presents news from a Palestinian POV azurnoir May 2013 #65

There are, of course, a wide range of Palestinian points of view. oberliner May 2013 #66

and I just answered you Ma'an presents a spectrum of Palestinian POV's azurnoir May 2013 #67

From far right-wing to far left-wing? oberliner May 2013 #72

So then... Shaktimaan May 2013 #62
