Where Are Feminist Democrats on Afghan Women?
First topic message reminder :
On Friday, the New York Times published a story about a remarkable Afghan woman whose life’s work is addiction-treatment and women’s rights in Afghanistan. And she’s dead set against the Afghan government making peace with the Taliban. Nor is she alone. Many Afghan women are petrified about what comes after such a peace deal and its concomitant withdrawal of American troops. But Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Kirsten “the future is female” Gillibrand don’t seem so concerned.
In Kabul, Laila Haidari, 39, runs a salon-like café where men and women mix freely and talk openly. She uses the profits from this risky venture to fund her own drug-rehabilitation clinic. This puts her in the literal crosshairs of religious extremists (including the Taliban) and Afghan drug dealers. When two men broke into her apartment one night, she fired her shotgun at them, and they fled.
Haidari was married off to a mullah at 12 and bore him the first of three children at age 13. “Back then I didn’t know that child marriage was something unjust,” she says, “even though I had this feeling I was being raped every night by a full-grown man, and that was wrong.”
She knows now. And, not surprisingly, she seems to have a clearer understanding of the Taliban than do many American policymakers: “We are face to face with an ideology, not a group of people,” she said. “They believe that women are defined as the second gender and you can’t change that ideology, so I have no hope for Taliban talks.” She hopes to “find 50 other women who will stand up and say, ‘We don’t want peace.”
There are undoubtedly many more than 50 out there. That’s to say nothing of the high-profile Afghan women who share Haidari’s outrage. Rahima Jami and Shukria Paykan, both female members of the Afghan Parliament, are also scared of ending the fight against the Taliban. So is Robina Hamdard, of the Afghan Women’s Network.
Protecting women has been a big part of the American effort in Afghanistan. We’ve spent more than $1.5 billion on it since 2001, opening girls’ schools, securing the place of women in Afghan politics, and setting up various projects to keep the issue at the forefront of Afghan development. That’s to say nothing of the fact that fighting the Taliban means checking its brutal Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice.
All this raises a question: Why did so many Democrats who’ve declared themselves as 2020 presidential candidates refuse to oppose Cheeto-Faced Ferret-Wearing Shit Gibbon’s terrible plan to make peace with the Taliban and withdraw U.S. forces? Earlier this month, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Kirsten Gillibrand voted against a bill that condemned Trump’s plan.
In Afghanistan, an empowered Taliban and the absence of American troops would mean a future that’s decidedly not female. We know Trump’s thinking on this. He doesn’t believe that protecting women from a hellish life under the Taliban is worth American military action. But all these feminist Democrats? If they explicitly agree with the president on that point, they should be made to say so.

I'm going to wager a bet that your views won't fix it either, or it would be fixed by now.
How is it a disater when now women now have the ability to have an education?
Seriously, you call that a disaster?
Did you call our intervention in the Bosnian war a disaster?
Where was the terrorism from the Serbian and Croatian Christians from this against the US and British?
I can give you a clue as to why
I will take that bet and the people are allowed to have an education for a couple of generations, this will help eradicate hateful taliban wahhabism

It had no effect except to increase the size of Taliban controlled territory.
It's been 18 years. The solution is not going to come from western militaries or Afghanistan would be a functioning country. It's not.
It's not Japan, it's not Germany. It needs an organic, homegrown political solution, not an external military one.
It's another Vietnam. There are problems that cant be fixed by the US military.

What?
After 19 years you think this increased the taliban and territroies and not troop down sixe?
Please show this in numbers, because i know for a fact that is bollocks. As show me how his troop numbers were bigger than under Obama?
The solution is going to come from seeing this through.
that is what you fail to grasp
Its needs a military defense, until there can be an economical and political stability there
Vietnam?
Now you are being a fuckwit
Vietnam failed because the US had no comprehension of what hearts and minds was
Its why no such insurgency gained hold in Malaysia. As the British defeated many by hearts and minds
The problem was redneck hicks in the US army

Why? You are assuming that the UK is like the middle east, and the UK is easily provoked. If the UK was so much like the middle east, why are you trying so hard to change the middle east?

Where did i assume that?
i never did.
You did. As I said based on your methodology
i am only trying to help people have the rights to an education
Why are you not supporting that?
So the questionm to ask. Is do you support the right of eveyone to have access to have education?
Under the taliban that would not happen
So who do you support?

OK, then your change of position is helpful. The response of the UK is not a model of how the middle eastern insurgents behave. The middle east is a land of insurgents, and insurgency is like infection. Infesctions spread, and our presence there spreads the infection.
Insurgency, also like infections, doesn't lay down arms when some "legitimate" government tells then to. You defeat one, and his sons will take up arms to perpetuate the conflict.
Legitimate governments mean crisp decisions. Germany was a quick and crisp 6-years. The Japanese took a little longer, indeed because there was an element of insurgency with them. But in the end, symmetrical wars mean symmetrical endgames.
Not so with the middle eastern nations. In the middle eastern nations the divisions are much more closely linked to the culture, and particularly the religion. They don't exactly follow orders to lay down arms.
The result is that in the middle east, a foreigner's presence does not yield the war's endgame. A foreigner's presence yields resentment, and perpetuates the war. You may be able to defeat an army in a field, but you cannot defeat a culture in its own country.

If it was why did the Britsih arm the Jordanians an lead them agains the newly formed nation of israel? I mean do yuou have any cromprehension of what you are talking about? The grand Mufti of jerusalem was in league with Hitler in regards toexterminating the jews. Even the British produced a white paper in 1939 to restrict jewish immiration. Which i am sure you would be against as you are against Trump restrictions on immigration. Except in this case, ensured hundreds of thousands more Jews ended up in the gas chambres

Seriously what history have you read?

The Arabs are foreigners in the majority of the Middle East. Its called Arabization. They are the foreigner in many parts of africa and the Middle east and you claim that is not the problem? Yet the west is?
One moment
What the fuck are you talking about
The arabs took over from a mainly greek population
Who took over from the romans
Who ethnnically cleansed the Jews from the area
You are simple the biggest tit i have ever known when it comes to history
So based on your view, how or on what reason, do the Arabs have any view here, when they are foreigners?

Yes its called the Byzantine empire, who were mainly Greek

The greeks had colonized the areas, as they did centureis ago as the Philistines. They were a sea faring people from against the Greek shores
The point is the Greeks were invaders, as was the Arabs
The jews are indigeneous
Its where there culture, religion and lanugues were formed
The Arabs formed in the Arabian Peninsula and they colonized the Middle east and North africa.
They betrayed then Byzantine rules who they were in the pay of as mecenaries
The only time the area really becme known as palesintine was because of the Romans after Hadrian. Who was antisemitic and hated the jews.

Really?
So based on your thinking, the jews in Israel have been there all of their lives, correct?
Half of the populaion of Jews the Sephardic jews have been there longer in the Middle East than any Arabs
The Arabs as a people never came into existance until mucy later
For example the People of iran do not see themselves as Arabs
You have not a clue what you are talking about
There is many indigeneous groups
Yet you worship the Arabs

I'm talking about middle-easterners, no matter their origins. Presumably, we all come from Lucy, somewhere south of there. At some point they coalesce into a culture.
I don't need a narrative of their comings and goings. We're talking about now.

Don't be foolish. They are Europeans, followed by Americans. The original, indigenous Jewish population was miniscule. The subject is not a Jewish population, but middle-easterners.

The relevant answer is: Not us! As we are talking about what breeds terrorists, the point is that outsiders coming in to kill people are what cause consternation. That consternation breeds resentment, which in turn motivates people to become terrorists.
So Maddog is right, all you are doing as outsiders over there, is creating terrorists.

I would suggest that if the Afghanstanis want to change their own system, they do it themselves. This is not only the fairest way, but assures self-determination.

Their war was not an insurgency. It was a symmetrical conflict, nation to nation. There were no insurgents.

That's not very nice. If you need to be insulting in order to make your point, it must not be a very good point.
Didge wrote:The only draw here is ideology

Well, the ideology is an accompaniment of the culture. Under principles of self-determination for a nation, the culture gets to choose it's own cultural values and mores, and select its own form of government.
The only way to go astray is for an outside culture to come in and impose its own cultural values and mores. Seems to me that is the very thing for which you are arguing. It's a recipe for resentment and disaster.

90% are againt the Taliban in the country
So how do you eradicate poverty Quill there?
You see people like you that hold a very selfish concept. Have no idea how to solve world problems
You only see local problems and also bitch about Trump
How is that?
You have no understanding of tactics or long term strategy
The way to conquer the taliban is education

Vietnam failed because the US had no comprehension of what hearts and minds was
Its why no such insurgency gained hold in Malaysia. As the British defeated many by hearts and minds
The problem was redneck hicks in the US army
Is that why the French failed there too?
They never learnt the concept of hearts and minds mate

Don't be foolish. They are Europeans, followed by Americans. The original, indigenous Jewish population was miniscule. The subject is not a Jewish population, but middle-easterners.
Prime example of antisemitism, as you deny Jews their identity and ancestry, based off some leftist racism, denying their ancestry. You only do this because you are antisemitic, through the lens to back the actual colonizers in the Arabs. As why else make such a false claim? You only do so, to deny an indigeneous people the right to return to their historical homeland. It also is the same hateful view that Jews should be ethically cleansed from Judea and Sumaria. To form a future Palestinian state, free from Jews. Something even Hitler never accomplished in Germany. As why cannot a future Palestinian state have jews live within such a state? Its the only example where the left call for the ethnic cleansing of a people to form a nation that would be only Arabic. Its abhorant how the left are the worst antisemites today. The Arabs have a right to a nation also as long term residents. Yet they are not indigeneous, as they speak Arabic and identify as a modern people, the palestinians. They have a right to self determination, but have rejected 5 times being able to create a palestinian nations. As they constantly reject the Jews living alongside them in a state of Israel through self determination. That means you back their hate and antisemitism. There could be peace tomorrow if the Palestinians stopped hating the Jews. Nobody would have died or any Jews and Arabs would have been displaced or fled their homes. If the Arabs had respected the rights of Jews with self determination. That is what you antisemitic far leftists cannot comprehend.

https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/224254/bellerose-aboriginal-people
So 75% of jews are from the Middle East. Where does that leave your warped argument, denying the vast majority of Jews, who are middle easterners? They are the one people you deny as indigeneous. Why is that? Because you are a proponent of intersectionality that views Jews as not being able to suffer discrimination and prejudice based on antisemitic toupes based aound wealth and their skin colour. People like you are inherantly the worst racists, as you only base racism on skin colour and power. Showing you have no comprehension of what racism actually is.
Its bery easy to prove that the BDS is antisemitic
They claim to fight for the rights of Palestinians. Yet they never call for the boycott of Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. Where Palestinians in refugee camps have zero rights. Where we have the only example whee people born to refugees, become refugees. In these countries Palestinians are denied the right to work, own properties, have a right to citizenship etc and the plight of these palestinians are ignored by the left. The reason why, because Arabs to the far left are allowed to discriminate against other Arabs. Where Arabs actually have equal rights in Israel, they call this apartheid, I mean seriously WTF?
If people actually cared about Palestinians, they would boycott all nations that deny palestinians basic rights. The jews are the only nation that actually gives Palestinians rights, those living in Israel and yet the left ignore the blatant suffering of Palestinians living in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Proving such supporters of the BDS are inherantly antisemitic.
Arabs descend from the Arabian Peninsula. Then later conquered and Arabinzied the Middle East and North Africa, So why are you not speaking out on this colonization?
You also fail to understand what it means to be indigeneous and this is the problem today, the worst antisemits come from the Far left

To the contrary, you are the anti-Semite, as you deny the Jewish people an important piece of their own history. They tried to make it as Europeans, but were denied by you, a Christian European.
Then they took their admirable resilience and built a beautiful oasis on the desert, to their immense credit. Yet, you would deny them that great legacy.
Shame.

WTF?
I am not a Christian and have never denied them their legacy, that is you denying them being Middle eastern
Seriously are you smoking crack?
Half the Jewish population in Israel never were ever in Europe. They were always in the Middle East. They are called Sephardic Jews
It was you here that denied Jews their ancestry and did so to deny them their right to settle in their historical homeland, as why else make such an ignorant and unscientific claim as you did?
You tunr this one me, being one of the out spoken critics of antisemitism?
Hilarious and it shows you are clutching at straws. You claim I stand against Jews, based off past Christian hate and antisemtic conspiracies they formed
Hence you are smoking crack
You see this is what it boils down to. Only people on the Far left and Far right are joined by one single factor

Re: Where Are Feminist Democrats on Afghan Women?
By any objective measure, Palestinians in Lebanon are treated far worse than those who live under "occupation" - even in Gaza.
They are banned, by law, from holding jobs in dozens of fields including law and medicine.
They are banned from owning property.
They are forced to live in terrible "refugee" camps, in pitiful conditions, and they need a permit to leave their camps.
Even within the camps, they are banned from building new buildings or additions on buildings.
They are banned from owning businesses.
They cannot ever become citizens.
They have a 67% poverty rate.
This is all institutional discrimination. It is so bad that over half of the Palestinians registered by UNRWA as living in Lebanon have left to live in Europe or elsewhere.
The Palestinians who cannot leave say that living in Lebanon is like living in prison.
The European Union claims that "human rights are at the heart of the European Union's external action and the EU reaffirms its role as a leading global proponent of the promotion and protection of human rights. "
Last year it issued a report on the human rights situation in Lebanon - and it did not mention one of the facts listed above.
Its summary of the human rights situation in Lebanon says "Lebanon generally upheld and preserved respect for human rights and the rule of law and undertook some important key reforms."
The EU, of course, doesn't hesitate to condemn Israel when it is perceived as doing something that the EU disagrees with, like cutting payments to the PA that go to terrorists or allowing Jews to build houses in their homeland.
The hypocrisy is only fully seen when we compare how the EU describes Israel's human rights record towards Palestinians and how it ignores the blatant discrimination and oppression of Palestinians in Lebanon.
It isn't only the EU, of course. No one calls on artists to boycott Lebanon because of how it treats Palestinians. No one says not to buy Lebanese products.
Based on this EU report, one can say that there is a conscious effort to suppress news about how Lebanon mistreats the remaining 200,000 Palestinians who live there. This is more Palestinians than the number who live in Area C, under Israeli rule, who are in the headlines constantly.
Lebanon's direct oppression of Palestinians is consciously downplayed and ignored. Israel's much better treatment of Palestinians is highlighted and condemned, daily.
The only conclusion one can come to is that the people screaming about human rights for Palestinians aren't really concerned about human rights for Palestinians.
They only want to use that issue as a bludgeon to go after Israel.
What is the reason why they are obsessed with blaming Israel beyond all logic and facts while ignoring the abuses that Palestinians undergo in Lebanon and the rest of the Arab world?
Apparently, those who pretend to care about human rights of Palestinians are really more concerned about denying the human rights of another people.

Am I?
By origin?
I have never denied them anything and you are making now a poor and quite fuckwitted argument based on guilt by association through Christianity, even though I am an athiest. You then use the most dumbfuckwitted claim this makes me a holocaust denier. When ever have I denied the holocaust? I am the biggest outspoken person on this forum against antisemitism
Not only is that utterly dimwitted by you, it shows you deflect from the real antisemitism that came from you
That you denied Jews their ancestry, based off again unscientific claims
The only shame here, is you exposing what a complete fuckwit you are being
So will you apologise to all Jews for your complete an utter lie denying their ancestry, being as 75% descend from the Middle East?
I guess I will instead suffer this

When you denied that Jews were ever in Europe, and claimed they were indigenous peoples of the middle-east. The holocaust happened in Europe, mostly Poland.

Did I ever claim that some Jews were never in Europe?
Nope, more made up antisemitic crap from you, to divert from your rampant antisemitism
Which again exposes you as a lying antisemitic runt
You claim they were not Middle eastern, as if this means they cannot be in their historical homeland. Where 75% descend from the Middl east. You claim they were only europena, whilst backing Arab colonisors to the historical lands of Israel. Through Arabization
In other words, you wish to deny Jews being indigeneous to their lands in historical Israel
In other words, you like many on the left are the New Nazi's
So at no point did I deny the holocaust
You simple invented such a bullshit claim, to divert from yur own antisemitism, denying Jews their ancestry
