    I am concerned with how dogmatic I have observed the leftist response to the conflict. I deviate from the interpretation in other subs in the fact that I am unwilling to view the Israel/Palestine conflict from the same exact framework as any other colonial state, because of the fact that the state of Israel originated in circumstances that are uniquely different from any other case.

    It boils down to this I suppose. Most leftists as I’ve seen think that if a situation can possible fulfill the model of colonial oppression, than it must. Myself, I favor a more mailable framework from which to operate. It is up to you to decide if by this I mean to convince people to adopt a framework which is more apologetic towards the state of Israel, or if I’m simply building a more robust framework based in critical analysis and observation.

    Philosophy is not dictated by demonstrable truths. You seem to be misunderstanding the point of philosophical inquiry. To say that philosophy should be “true” is a broad sweeping claim which is inaccurate. Different kinds of philosophical inquiry have different goals. There are certain kinds of philosophy that you may be interested in if what you seem Is a philosophical look into truths, but that is not nor has it ever been a constitutive premise of philosophy.
