Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

I didn't even explain my opinions since my opinions don't matter.

I explained the facts, that's all. That's all I did in my presentation, that's all I did in my letter... apparently laying out the facts about Israel without putting a pro-Israel spin on the subject makes you Anti-Jewish.
You said 'the Jews have no right to the holy land', not "theocracy isn't a good idea in any form, international relocation programs not exempt."

If you can't tell the difference you'll never make it.

Well FallingWhale...

I said that the State of Israel has no right to exist, which it doesn't (unless it claims the right of conquest), but I only said that on this forum. I did not say that to my teacher, or to my class.

I think that given there is probably a generation of Israelis that had been born in the country, probably more than one generation even, that the territory has a right to exist. Just the mistreatment of ethnic groups does not.
Oh Fine.

It does not have a right to exist as it currently does, and no state has that right. Israel claims the righto of conquest over the Palestinians, and that isn't a right that we acknowledge (at least in the open) in our modern society. If the Russians took Georgia and tried to continually displace the Georgian people (as well as the other NUMEROUS peoples of the Caucasus Mountains) the way the Israelis are to the Palestinians, we would call it inhumane, criminal, and an attack on human rights.

Does a state have the right to exist? Of course it does. But whatever state that is to exist in the replacement of the current one must, as I have said, allow the Palestinian refugees to return and live in settlements like those built for the Jews, and the Palestinian community must be accorded equal rights and paid reparations. This new state, would be entirely different from the one that exists, as the one that exists is a socialist, apartheid theocracy. Changing the foundations of the state so fundamentally makes it incompatible with the old one.

I said territory, not state. The land, people, and borders. The way all that is governed can change drastically for all I care.
Oh Fine.
