It's not racist. It IS fucking stupid, and Israeli lawmakers should be ashamed of themselves, as should the judge.
Agreed, although I'd also go so far as to say that while the law may not be racist as written, it certainly provides a handy tool for racist/bigoted people to use to be racist/bigoted with. That bothers -- I don't like seeing the courts and jails used as weapons by assholes.

And FinnAgain: you are fucking nuts. Seriously. Watching you go off on someone for disagreeing with you over anything related to Israel with wildly disproportionate rhetoric and accusations for what seems like the millionth time makes it clear that you haven't the faintest clue about how to actually win an argument in a meaningful way (i.e. convincing anyone reading that you're right, as opposed to just being so tedious that people give up). Israel would have a more positive image if you never posted on the topic again.
 
...lyou're lying ...lying.... Please, lie bigger next time. ...The lie that...you're going to lie ...lie big, bucko. So were you lying then, or are you lying now? ...Of course, you're full of it when you claim that you change your opinion.... ...Yet another lie. ....Good for you, but lie bigger.... so your lie is obvious ...If you're going to lie,...You're making that up too..

Does it strike you as odd that I lie and lie big all the fucking time and you're the only one that notices it (or at least the only one that thinks it lying)? And yet every Israel thread you shit on has a dozen posters saying "Oh no, Finn Again found this thread"

I used to get all worked up when you called me an anti-semite or a liar until I realized that was what you did to anyone that criticized Israel.

You may know your shit when it comes to Israel but noone trusts that you are presenting all the facts in anything close to an objective manner.

You simply have little or no credibility with anyone on this board (well maybe there are a handful of folks) and to the extent you are a crusader, you are doing your cause more harm than good.

I find it genuinely amusing that we're here, a page and a half or so later and several posts from FinnAgain, but he still won't tell me what I was lying about.

He's very good at calling people liars, but just not very good at saying what they're lying about. Because that would involve reading what other people post and understanding it. Especially when faced with facts that go against his world view, like the numbers of "rockets" that Palestinians have fired into Israel in the last year and a half. He likes to think they are raining down on Israel, so he can continue to justify his own personal racism and bigotry(*), but the facts just don't back him up.

So he just calls everyone liars without saying what they are lying about.


(*) And that is one thing FinnAgain really cannot deal with. He is far more racist and bigoted than all of the people he accuses of such things put together.
 
But that's suddenly a different conversation than the one about whether a "higher rule of non discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity and gender should overrule" a woman's decision about a man's level of Jewishness being relevant to a sexual relationship.
Of course it is - but since I never quoted the post which raises that question, or claimed to be responding to it, I'm somewhat at a loss as to why you assumed I was in the first place.

I am not making any sweeping statements here. I'm saying that in this particular case, the dude is getting fucked for no greater crime than letting some chick make assumptions about his favorite works of fiction.

I pointed out what you were lying about. And you know it. Good bait though.

Cite. Of course, you can't, as you're making it up.
Also good little trick putting the word rocket in hard quotes. You'll sure fool people that way.

I used to get all worked up when you called me an anti-semite or a liar until I realized that was what you did to anyone that criticized Israel.

You can't find one single post where I called you an anti-Semite. And you know it.
You also just admitted that I routinely do not call people who criticize Israel liars, but you discarded them because they aren't kneejerk anti-Israel bigots like you are. So you're lying there too, and you know it there, too.

Why, do you think, you engage in that behavior and folks other than me don't call you on it? Answer your own question. You know you're saying things that aren't true. Why do you think that it's accepted? Do you think it's be accepted if it was an anti-Palestinian person who was saying it? I'm saying the truth about the anti-Israel coterie, and people are flipping out about it. What if I lied about you people the way you lied about me? You folks like to lie and say things like I call everybody anti-semites, or what have you. How would it be received if I lied and said that you folks routinely call anybody who supports Israel anti-Palestinian? Why, do you think, Amanset's lie above that I'm somehow "anti-Palestinian" or Elvis' lie that I don't think Palestinians are human is accepted, but when people admit that they have an anti-Israel bias that instinctual, people go berserk when it's pointed out that that's bigotry?

As for why your pattern of lying isn't pointed out by others, I'd posit that it's probably for the same reason that the world was up in arms over the war in Gaza and then when Lebanon used indiscriminate artillery fire on a Palestinian refugee camp nobody cared, or how every year we have memorials to Deir Yassin while nobody can quite manage to remember Hama, ever.

you are doing your cause more harm than good.

My cause is honesty and factuality. Obviously many folks aren't interested in either. Just like even though it's been clarified multiple times that the law has been applied several times when there was no promise of marriage and no history of such behavior over a span of time and yet you repeat that error, most folks simply don't care. Or like Giraffe's little spaz fit where he alleged that despite the OP rather blatantly lying and Dio rather obviously engaging in the sort of bigotry we'd object to if his target wasn't Israel but a 'protected' minority. It's the standard behavior we see and not exactly surprising anymore.

It's just what the anti-Israel crowd does. Like the recent Israel blockade thread where Red Fury posted a "transcript" that had entire sentences which were simply fabricated, objectively, not even as a matter of opinion, and not one of the anti-Israel crowd cared because it got in the way of your narrative. It's just what you do.

Dio's bigotry goes without mention and, in fact, has defenders when I point it out. How do you like "[black people] can be counted on to do [negative thing], and I don't have to prove this because, after all, everybody knows that [black people] are bad." would have gone, in comparison? (Leave your admitted anti-Israel bigotry aside for a moment and try to answer it yourself). Why is "black people" not acceptable, but "Israel" is?

Or look at your own admission of bigotry. What do you think the reaction would have been if, instead of Israel, you'd said "I don't think I used to be so knee-jerk [against Palestine] but [people who defend Palestine] are turning me into someone who is instinctualy anti-Palestine. I don't spend time slowly digesting new facts into my gestalt of what is going on [with the Palestinians], instead I find myself trying to figure out how new facts can be incorporated into a narrative against [Palestinians] and I have to make a conscious effort to retain objectivity and that really bothers me. I don't think this was the case before I encountered [people who defend Palestinians]."
Again, do you think that folks would be fine with that? Or they'd object to such bigotry and object to the cowardice the bigot was showing by trying to blame someone else for their own anti-Palestinian bias? Again, forget that it's you saying it, and try to wonder how you'd react if I said the above. Would you be fine with it, or would you think that there was something wrong with being reflexively anti-Palestinian?

Why is it that people routinely lionize people like Jimmy Carter even though his narrative is based on claims that objectively and undisputedly false, in many cases where he provably did or should have known they were false and when they, without fail, serve to demonize Israel and exonerate Palestinian leadership and terrorist factions? What do you think would happen if a well known former President, instead, constructed an obvious campaign of fiction in order to demonize the Palestinians and exonerate the Israeli government of its mistakes? Would that be okay?
Again, look at this honestly and not from your admitted position of reflexive anti-Israel bias. Would the same people who lionize Jimmy Carter be totally fine with him if he flipped his tactics and applied them against the Palestinians instead? Why do people, by the tens of millions accept anti-Israel lies?

Prove me wrong. Criticize your own self for lying and saying I've ever called you an anti-Semite. You and I both know that you're making that up and I never have. And yet you're still lying. Apologize, and don't do it again. If you refuse to, then there's your answer right there as to why dishonesty is accepted from certain folks and by certain folks.
Why, do you think it is that your lie will be tolerated by the usual suspects? Take Amanset to task for his lie about rockets, or his rather obvious tactic of putting the term rocket in quotes. That'd be a start. Why, do you think it is that people will avoid such obvious dishonesty?

Why do you think it is that when the people who I named criticize things about Israel, I'm totally fine with it, but when people do so dishonestly or from ignorance, I'm not? Does "well, they support Israel in other things!" really make sense to you, if your claim (that you already know is false) is that I attack anybody who criticizes Israel, then why is it that the while those folks have criticized virtually every single aspect of Israeli society/culture/policy, I've never said a single harsh word to them? Maybe, just maybe, it's not whether or not someone criticizes Israel, but if they do so from a position of honesty and knowledge? No, no handwaving about how people who criticize Israel but don't do so often enough for you are really "apologists".

Can you approach this honestly?
 
Well, I wasn't talking about how I feel. But the same rule applies either way, obviously.
 
Don't stick your dick in the crazy!

So saying "I love you" could lead to a rape charge if its construed as a successful ploy to get into her pants?

How long is the appeals process in Israel?
 
""In the context of Israeli society, you can see that some women would feel very strongly that they had been violated by someone who says he is Jewish but is not," said a former senior justice ministry official. "

What context is he talking about? Is it that Good jewish girls only have casual pre-marital sex with Jewish boys. Or is it the notion that if you had a child as a result of sex with a West Bank or gaza Palestinian, the child might be expelled from Israel upon reaching majority so women would be reluctant to have sex with Palestinians generally. Or is it that Israel has institutionalized racism for much the same reason that Magellan wants to be "wary" of muslims??

And people still think Carter is an anti-semite for comparing this situation to Apartheid. :boggle:
 
Disingenuous

Yep.
If you require more verbiage: a disingenuous gloss of my post in order to toss out your flippant inanity while acting as if you'd responded to my point.
The same people who take me to task for correctly stating facts (or, like you, because you have a personal grudge and you're an asshole, so you don't like me), never can seem to spare a word for blatant dishonesty, racism and bigotry. Your response was to ask just how often they had to bother to condemn vile behavior (when my point was that they never, ever do). Maybe four times? Lol, har-d-har-har. Yuck yuck.

Wow, Kreskin, you sure know what's going on in my mind. It's too bad you can't use your extraordinary mental powers to answer my question honestly, without dodging. Obviously people aren't going to spare a word for what you suppose is bigotry and racism if they don't think your accusations are deserved. Instead they'll just call you out. This causal chain is not complicated, yet apparently it eludes you.

"Finn's an asshole."
"Well, why?"
"He calls people bigots and liars a lot."
"Well... are they saying bigoted things or being dishonest?"
"How am I supposed to know? But I am am totally prepared to start spazzing the fuck out about it!"

If only calling people bigots and liars were the sole symptom of the personality defects you exhibit in writing, it might be easier for you to correct. Tell us, how has your personality worked out for you in your life?

Only one person appears to be spazzing out in this thread. I'll give you a hint: it's not me.

I'm glad to see that you're willing to speak for people and tell me who "on my side" (we have sides now, idiot?) feels what. I'm sure that they aren't posting that because, well, just because. But you, Kreskin, you know what they really think even though they haven't said it. Mind reading is awesome.

"Side" is an obvious shorthand, you cretin.

All I have to do is read what people write. How many people have to tell you you are an ass before you check your ears? You have people telling you they are sympathetic to your point of view but think you do more harm than good.

And of course "bigotry" and "lying to demonize a nation" are "below the radar", but calling them out is goddamnawful! Says a lot about you. Just like most of the folks who've objected to calling bigotry bigotry and dishonesty dishonesty admitted that they don't care about the facts, at all.

It says a lot of what I think about your mewling accusations.

Think about the stupidity inherent in your argument a little bit.
"There are a bunch of people who admit they don't care about the facts but don't like heaving the truth about things if it's too harsh and/or if it's repeated too often because it keeps happening. These people who admit they don't care about the facts? You totally need to win them over."

That would be a great summary if it weren't completely disingenuous.

So, yeah, you're disingenuous.
You understand full well why it's important that the folks who'll ignore bigotry and dishonesty as long as it's coming from someone who's also anti-Israel, or why they'll decide that bigotry, racism and lying are "totally below the radar" but noticing them is horrible. Someone who can't or won't challenge vile behavior but spazzes out when someone actually does is not the kind of person who matters in any intellectual sense.

What I said is that life is to short to correct every inaccuracy on the SDMB.

Someone who spazzes out in the presence of any perceived factual inaccuracy and presumes the basest possible motivations is not someone who matters in any intellectual sense. You have plenty of people here challenging vile behavior, but as it turns out, its your vile behavior and your spazzing that is objectionable.

Do you have intellectual accomplishments outside the SDMB and a video game? Perhaps you aren't exactly the best person to determine who matters.

I missed the edit window. My above remarks were unnecessarily personal, for which I apologize. I've said my piece and elaborated as much as I think is merited. Anyone is welcome to take or leave my opinion as they think it deserves. For what it's worth, I have no personal grudge against you.
 
Where? Where is this information recorded that it's supposed to be so easy for me to find?

I know that talking to an "Expert" about basic logic is wasted when he's getting his hate on, but the point is that you find the information first and then make the accusation, not make the accusation and say you believe it because you're so bigoted against the group in question and it's just unfortunate that you don't have any actual proof to back up your hate.

They make him a sleaze -- they do not make him a rapist.

Seriously, what part of "under the law in question, dishonesty used to convince someone to have sex is rape by deception" is confusing you?
You do know that other nations actually have their own laws, right?

Your arguments made more sense when you used to try to compare Israel's action with arab actions.

Yah... you're making that up.

When do I admit that I am an anti-Israeli bigot (BTW, when you say anti-Israeli bigot, do you mean anti-semite?)?

It's interesting just how easily you, repeatedly, manage to 'forgot' inconvenient facts. Like how you repeated something like a half dozen times how the UN created Israel and one of the ways you knew this to be true was that the Arab armies attacked on the very day that the Partition was supposed to go into effect. But then it was pointed out that, no, those events were months apart. So you repeated your fiction, several times in fact. Each time changing it just a bit. You knew you were right, because the Arabs attacked the day before the Partition went into effect? No? Months before? Okay then, you knew you were right because they attacked the day after the Partition was supposed to into effect? No? Months before. Okay, then you knew you were right because...

No, of course, after you admitted to instintually filtering any and all information through your standard anti-Israel mindset (also known as "bigotry") and that you had to fight to actually analyze the facts and not just fit them into reasons why you hated Israel (for which you blamed me, naturally), you've totally forgotten it. What luck!

Here, let me remind you.

I don't think I used to be a knee-jerk Israel criticiser but Finn is quickly turning me into one. I don't sepdn time slowly digesting new facts into my gestalt of what is going on in the middle east, instead I find myself trying to fifure out how new facts can be incorporated into a narrative against Israel and I have to make a conscious effort to retain objectivity and that really bothers me. I don't think this was the case before I encountered Finn.

Naturally, you're bigoted against Israel, and it's all my fault. That's right up there with "Sure I don't have a natural revulsion to black people, but it's their fault, a bunch of black kids once robbed me!"

Yes!!! Raging anti-Israel bigotry is EVERYWHERE, the only possible reason anyone could possibly criticize Israel is because they are bigots.

Yah, you're making that up too. Dio decides that Isreal simply must be horrible because no court in Israel would prosecute and no part of the justice system would bring suit if it was a Jewish man who tricked an Arab woman into having sex, and he knows this because, well, he just knows that the Israelis are bad, bad people. And his hate is enough for him.

And you, habitually taking all new informationand finding ways to work it into your anti-Israel worldview, why, your're shocked, shocked you say at why someone might call you a bigot. Why, if you and Dio are bigots, then everybody who criticizes Israel must be! Of course, I've criticized Israel, Jack's criticized Israel, Malthus has criticized Israel, Captain Amazing has criticized Israel, DSeid has... and none of them are bigots.
Funny, aint it?
 
If you take the Haaretz article at face value (assuming there weren't other mitigating circumstances), then why was he not convicted of fraud instead of rape?

He was convicted of Rape by Fraud. Which, like Statutory Rape, uses "Rape" to mean "Sexual Intercourse Without Consent of One of the Involved Parties" as opposed to the popular meaning of "Rape" as "Beat the **** out of a girl and have your way with her".

If you take the Haaretz article at face value (assuming there weren't other mitigating circumstances), then why was he not convicted of fraud instead of rape?

Same old same old. he was convicted of rape by deception, which has been clarified numerous times in this thread, over and over and over.

The only precedent appears to deal with coercion more than deception:

Why did you post something that you know not to be true and that was, in fact, debunked by your own quote right above it? Another case dealt with, for instance, a man pretending to be a neurosurgeon to make women think he was more desirable than he was. It's in your own cite. You couldn't have missed it.
Why is it that you'd post something that your own cite says isn't true?

And, of course, the Anti-Stylistic Rigidity Warriors couldn't be bothered to notice that 'honest error' either. Totally unexpected.

I think you've both missed the point. In the case of the neurosurgeon, the man was convicted of fraud, not rape. As the article points out, the only precedent for "rape by deception" appears to be a case where the victims were coerced into sex with a false offer of free stuff, not simply deceived into sex. In previous cases which involved just deception (like the fake doctor) the charge was fraud, not rape.
 
This case certainly shocks me. This guy says he met a woman, introduced himself as "Dudu", and later they had sex. She discovers that despite his being called Dudu he is not Jewish, so goes to the cops. The guy then spends two years behind bars based on her claim that his family and friends calling him Dudu led her to think he was Jewish? How is anyone defending this shit?
 
Giraffe, I get it, you're absolutely retarded or simply dedicated to being an asshole.
You've proven it. You can go away to your board now.

Can you even defend the fact that you're thoroughly dishonest here?
Was the OP not lying? Was the case really about someone being jailed for being Palestinian?
Was Dio not evincing bigotry? Would we all be fine if, instead of saying it was fine to assume the absolute worst about the entirety of the Israeli legal and law enforcement communities, we'd be fine if he said "You can't trust black people on a jury or if they're a judge/DA/cop. Blacks are all racist in those positions"? That'd be cool, or it's only cool when it's Israelis that are the target?

Honestly, you're behaving in a truly abhorrent manner, don't you have any shame, at all?
Not to mention that you're pretending to be very stupid in order to annoy me. Does pretending to be an idiot strike you as a way to embarrass someone else? Really?
 
For what it's worth, I have no personal grudge against you.

I was going to spend time refuting all your nonsense, but I think this is fine.
Anybody who can read the post you just wrote and figure whether or not it was written by someone with "no personal grudge".
 
Looks like some US states have such laws: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/29/politics/uwire/main3894875.shtml

California and Tennessee already have "rape by fraud" legislation. If the law passes here, a common concern is that the legislation's vague language regarding deception will result in women who have been seduced by men posing as someone else or claiming to be unmarried filing rape charges.


Though the article is short on details.
