(3,386 posts)Rational discussion can only occur if we have common understandings of concepts, rules of evidence and rules of logic. We don't have that, because you have some extremely peculiar beliefs. By that I mean, that they are unique to you and sufficiently at a tangent to the real world and real world understanding of other humans that we might as well be in separate universes. For example, your apparent definition of racism includes things that are not racist because they aren't based on racial distinctions. For another, you have previously admitted that your basis for believing in a right of return is your feelings on the matter. Except your feelings aren't the basis of a rational discussion.
Of course a big part of the problem is that your ideology (radical Leftism) denies important aspects of humanity. Demanding a non-existent right of return and denying a Jewish state isn't a demand for equal treatment of Arabs. It's a denial of Jewish human and national rights. Your false claim of equal rights doesn't lead to discrimination; it is directly discriminatory because it denies to Jews the same right as to everyone else to express their national culture in a state. The fact that you deny that right to everyone doesn't mean you believe in equal rights. It means that you are anti-human.
