One is about concrete human rights, the other is a matter of theology

He says, in the context of a discussion about a video of how people are reacting to human rights views in a church, and without any apparent hint of self-awareness. They are both about human rights, you nimrod. They also both involve "group consensus". Saidit is really something else.

Just admit you agree with the crowd and that's why you're here, not because you're a pure heart that wants to defend strangers or just argue semantics with some random, lol.

earth isn't 6,000 years old

You're trying to compare tangible genocide to an arbitrary and arguably inconsequential factoid. They are not the same thing.

The other poster said:

A better comparison would be someone standing up in a mosque and saying Jewish people had a right to live.

They figured it out just fine.

Whoops, forgot I edited my comment. Originally I used Black Lives Matter as an example of what would agitate you.

But no, both are at least in part matters of theology. If you're deep in the Jewish faith and you believe you're the chosen people, the implication that what Israel is doing is wrong will offend you on a religious level.

People who are even deeper in the Jewish faith understand that the Jews are condemned to exile until the coming of the Messiah. The establishment of an autonomous Jewish government (i.e. Israel) is expressly forbidden in the Torah.
