    The whole claim to having a “right” to exist on conquered land is kind of a weird one, philosophically.

    If it’s legitimate to acquire territory through conquest, then there’s no debate that the land belongs to the Palestinians. But, consequently, if conquest is a legitimate means of acquiring territory, then the Israelis are not doing anything different in acquiring the land than the Muslims did when they first conquered Palestine and established their colony there.

    On the other hand, maybe conquest is not a legitimate means of acquiring territory and the Israelis are in the wrong for trying to gain land that way. But if that’s true, that conquest is not a legitimate means of acquiring territory, then the Muslim conquerors who took Palestine in the first place were also in the wrong and their claim to the territory is similarly illegitimate.






  • This, but for Wikipedia.

    Edit: Ironically, the down votes are really driving home the point in the OP. When you aren’t an expert in a subject, you’re incapable of recognizing the flaws in someone’s discussion, whether it’s an LLM or Wikipedia. Just like the GPT bros defending the LLM’s inaccuracies because they lack the knowledge to recognize them, we’ve got Wiki bros defending Wikipedia’s inaccuracies because they lack the knowledge to recognize them. At the end of the day, neither one is a reliable source for information.
