Even among scholars far more knowledgeable than Galloway will ever be, disagreement regarding the conclusions that can rightly be drawn from the same set of facts is common.
I'm not talking about a vague event of history that
such-and-such event may not be clearly defined, i'm talking about parts of history that are so clearly defined that they leave no ambiguity in the minds of any researcher. These historical events may be events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, or Invasion of Iraq, for example.
Similarly the historical truth that i'm talking about is proof of the establishment of Israel on the land of Palestine is in fact illegal. And now that Israel is established, backed by the US and UK in any and every way, their aim is in fact the extermination of the Palestinians through any means necessary. As Geroge Galloway said in the second video I quoted in my above post 'What right does Britan have to grant you
someone elses country?'.
Watch out for my next video. It'll be interesting.
What 'view' are you talking about? There is no one 'philosophical meaning of truth', nonsensical or otherwise, nor is 'truth' a technical term in philosophy. The Wiki article you quoted (uncredited, I note) lists more than a dozen views on the subject.
I didn't copy it from wikipedia, I wouldn't turn to wikipedia unless I couldn't find information anywhere else. My quote is from dictionary.com.
The philosophical view basically questions everything, nonsense questions such as 'what really is the truth', over-questioning everything such as 'are you really here' and all of that nonsense.
The truth is what is established as a fact. If the truth is mere opinion, then how do you distinguish between right and wrong? We all agree that we are not gods, because for one our imperfection as human beings is proof that we are not anything like god, for the Creator is far beyong any imperfections.
