I have been hosting some debates, and thought yall on here might appreciate them, if you don’t, don't worry I'll still be making some long form articles and whatnot. This is the second part of my debate from December 3rd, this one specifically is on israel and zionism

I talked with a Zionist who had no clue what they were talking about, but I think it is a good helpful primer on almost every single hasbara talking point made in its weakest, and consequently most honest form. This is not a debate of equals, she ends up conceding that she does not actually know what she's talking about, so I think this is most helpful as a guide for how to engage with arguments like this from actively bad faith misinformed people - here is a timeline - also a reminder that you can listen to all of these always as podcasts uploaded on most every platform except for Spotify.

2. Indigeneity & Genetics (06:00–30:00)
