I engaged with Joe Walsh in good faith to debate the facts. He committed to responding. A year later he’s nowhere to be found—because he knows Israel’s actions are indefensible.
I’m an Illinoisan and I know who Joe Walsh actually is. He brutalized Tammy Duckworth when he tried to avoid her defeating him in his Congressional seat. He has been trying to reinvent himself for years and progressive media has been allowing his ‘conversion’. Please stop giving him the air to conduct his self-serving agenda.
I remember your discussion with Joe. He had nothing and he kept calling you “brother” and it struck me as false familiarity and condescending. Interesting to learn he now ignores you! Keep up the good fight Qasim! This Jew loves you ❤️
Democrats, liberals and Zionists never will engage in good faith. As far as they are concerned, good faith is strictly for chumps.
"As a human rights lawyer, I am accountable to facts."
See, there's your problem right there. Walsh is a congressman, a Zionist and a democrat. Like his republican colleagues, he cares nothing for facts, except to the extent that they can be weaponized.
What he cares about is winning. That is all he cares about.
Winning.
If that means drinking the blood of a million children, he'll do it with a song of victory on his lips.
Thanks for this Qasim. I’m currently dealing with an online buffoon thinks that because I speak out for the Palestinians he believes I’m a Muslim. My last reply to him had some quotes from your essay. I also informed him that I’m an atheist and was not from a Moslem country. Usually he’s quick with a rebuttal but this time its crickets. Maybe he’s trying to find something he can criticise lol. Lotsa luck! The truth might get through which means you’ve helped at least one person see the light.
I just got a reply telling me I’m a jihadist, and he hopes I have a knife to my throat! This time I blocked him after wishing him a perfectly delusional day.
People like Joe persist in their claim that Israel has a RIGHT to defend itself, a right to exist. What law? says Palestine has no RIGHT to defend itself, to exist?? And that thinking has WHOA! moved on to Lebanon, Iran. If they assert their RIGHT to defend themselves, to exist, they are dubbed TERRORISTS! Those Europeans/Americans in Israel have usurped Middle Eastern land and are now telling born Middle Easterners to "get out!" That is a freaking Hell of a lot of arrogant nerve.
Israel doesn't want peace. If they did they would accept that Hamas has said they will disarm and not participate in any election in Palestine. The majority of Israel's so-called defensive wars have been started by Israel. Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians and now the Lebanese.
QUASIM you always do an excellent job, especially in debates. Everyone should know in advance that you bring receipts, you thoroughly researched the topic and before speaking, you know what you’re talking about. Mr. Walsh should have been prepared for this. Honestly, after following you for a number of years, I think that this is one of your best arguments, honest, thoughtful, detailed, accurate and unbiased review of what has happened with Palestine and what continues to take place. I picked up that Mr. Walsh was biased in a direction of Israel, but until I listen to this post, I had no idea that he was part of the cult. He presents well at times, but obviously he has fallen short when he is challenged. Truth is he can’t explain away his position in support of what the Israeli government is doing because a blind person can see that is unethical. It’s illegal. It’s immoral. Mr. Walsh is choosing his tribe/cult over human dignity.
Israel has one of the most advanced security/intelligence teams in the world , they sneak in and out of countries killing people. I have never bought that they didnt know the attack was coming . I have long believed Netanyahu allowed it to happen so he could wipe the Palestinians out. A PBS show democracy now from the beginning provided accurate reporting. They had multiple Palestinians , doctors, writers etc in addition to Americans who traveled there.. Thank you for laying it out so precisely.
Any debate about Israel cannot last long, no longer than it takes to read what follows-.
Israel is indefensible. The proof is simple. Ask a defender of Israel to speak about liberty and justice for all. There can be no response.
Israel is the Golden Rule inverted - do unto others what you would never tolerate being done to you.
In my two years on the street I have endured a hurricane of profanity in response to my stand for LJ4A but I have yet to hear one rational sentence to defend Israel. The rage I get is a natural consequence of being unable to make a case, any case for Israel.
There is nothing bad about LJ4A nothing good about Israel and nothing profound about this statement no more than there would be in saying that the moon and sun are in the sky. Facts are facts.
Nobody would object to living under LJ4A except Israelis because that would end Zionism. No one would consent to live under Zionism except Israelis.

Thank you for being a good person. Thank you for standing up for women and children.

Truth is of interest to such people, solely to the extent that it can be weaponized.
I just got a reply telling me I’m a jihadist, and he hopes I have a knife to my throat! This time I blocked him after wishing him a perfectly delusional day.
It’s funny, I was just thinking about this very thing and what Joe’s response was. No wonder I never saw it, his arguments collapsed upon themselves.
Good commentary. I can only hope the right wing side of the Democratic party begins to react to reason instead of money (AIPAC, AI, AI-I-YI!)
I can’t stand listening to Joe Walsh, I’m glad you brought the receipts! He’s disgraceful!

Thank you. I have learned a lot. I hope that Joe replies
Very strong post. Thank you for bring so thorough and dilgent with these complex arguments.
Israel doesn't want peace. If they did they would accept that Hamas has said they will disarm and not participate in any election in Palestine. The majority of Israel's so-called defensive wars have been started by Israel. Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians and now the Lebanese.
That's because Israel has become indefensible
It never was defensible in the first place.

Thank you my friend. Means a lot to me ❤️✊🏽

I have read articles supporting the view that Netanyahu allowed the attack to happen.
