They have a worldview that is so different it is effectively an alternate reality. This mostly comes from seeing different information streams or being in different social circles.


The same could be said of any worldview. So tell me—what part of UNESCO’s decision to admit the “State of Palestine” as a Member State strikes you as objectively righteous?


I didn't say I thought it was objectively righteous. I didn't say anything about my worldview.

It seems objective that many civilians have been killed and a lot of land stolen.

But my point is that things that seem objective to one group of people might be objectively false to another group.

Which isn't to say that there is no real truth. Just that the premises people hold are so different that the worlds are not compatible.


"...a lot of land stolen" let me just say that your limited understanding is painful.


Can you explain? I'm going to ignore your arrogant decision because I am genuinely curious. What is it about Israeli "settlements" that makes it different from stealing land?


Only in a morally inverted world is a nation blamed for keeping land it took while fending off an attack.
