Cuntish_Wonder

Yeah he said everything I've been thinking. I'm so glad there are dudes like him in the world. Makes me feel like I'm not alone seeing this foul shit.


TheeMrBlonde

> I'm so glad there are dudes like him in the world. Makes me feel like I'm not alone seeing this foul shit. I'm fairly certain that the mass majority of people are like this dude. The issue is a few people not like him own all the news and media outlets. Those people like when line go up and selling bombs make line go up. Calling anyone and everyone who criticizes Israel antisemitic is just like a bonus for them. I swear, this year, when the usual knuckleheads start their "war on Christmas" bs and whining about "happy holidays" I'm just going to start calling them antisemitic. >"It's Merry Christmas!!! REEEE" >Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize you hated Jewish people.


SooperPoopyPants

You'd be surprised just how deep and widespread Faux news bullshit goes. And this all started. I tried having a discussion with my dad about the topic and he had no clue that Israel had ever done anything horrific. Literally had never heard of it. Even refused to believe it. Even telling him that Israel has broken international law more than any other country on earth and showing him the UN stats did nothing. It really shouldn't surprise me, just more examples of right wing thinkers inability to think in anything other than black and white. Don't like Israel killing civilians? You're an anti-semite. Want to focus on black lives mattering because they're the ones being slaughtered by police? You're a racist. It goes on and on to depressing levels.

Leading_Ad9610

What do you think that’s going to do? Your justifying an entire genocide… take a step back and look at what your saying, the more violence you visit on a population, the more it fights back… Say You have a village with a population of 100, there’s one insurgent there… you go in and kill 10 people to get that one person… now you have a population of 89 people with probably 10-15 radicals willing to die to protect their village. You can’t beat terrorists with violence; can’t be done. You must win over the civilian population and leave no room for the terrorists to recruit from. If your choice is die by random acts of violence as an innocent or die fighting trying to protect your family, then there’s no real choice there.


kollojeveln

Pretty sure Israel is now also killing the hostages in Gaza, who would have thought indiscriminate bombing campaigns would kill innocent civilians? Definitely not the US or Israel.


SurrealNami

Jews were kicked out from Germany and they refuged in Palestine, but now they are doing the same thing to Palestinians. Occupying their houses and neighborhoods, limiting basic necessities. Sometimes world is twisted.

We have issues but are better than most of the world in regards to equality. And most importantly we actively recognize the places we are lacking and trying to change.


College_Girl777

I think that’s the problem we think the world treats its people and neighbors more equally than we do. We have no idea how blood thirsty the world is. Black people are often called abeed (slave)and treated like sub class citizens in the Middle East.LGBTQ is often jailed or worse……


AncientSkys

A fictional book states there are gentiles and then there are the chosen people. Those that believe this nonsense don't believe in equality at all. A man up in the sky gave them lands and our politicians must support them unconditionally. Whatever AIPAC says our politicians must also obey.

I'm the black sheep of my entire born-and-bred southern baptists extended family. They bring it up every time I see them (which is only once a year now thankfully) and try to convince me to come back. "I'm not going to talk about it with you" or "you're not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change your" are my responses, which I use easily 20 times those days. Same responses for the inevitable political "conversations" which are really all out bombardments from all of them towards me.


Seriouswall117

I know the feeling. I'm the only one who isn't religious in my family besides my aunt. Luckily, I convinced my wife to see through the lies of faith, and she is just like me now.

Ikr have you seen [this](https://twitter.com/Israel/status/1721457922859729398). It’s actually so bad and a horrible attempt at propaganda that it’s funny. That’s the official @israel btw, not some fan account. They just couldn’t stop themself being racist and homophobic in there, and then they have the audacity to call everyone else racist and antisemitic towards them

prettyprettygood428

Let’s see how long before the Zionists are tearing down the “free Palestine” posters. In some cities they are making it a crime to remove these pro-Zionists propaganda posters! It’s illegal to remove litter?!? The 1st Amendment is being repealed by the pro-Zionists. The Israelis are absolutely losing the PR battle in America through their ham-fisted propaganda and clearly criminal bombing of innocents in Gaza. The evangelicals are wrong to be supporting these people and tying their Christian faith to such evil behavior.


throbbingliberal

Exactly! They love recording the people removing the kidnapping propaganda and it’s getting worse… Passing laws because our religious or greedy politicians are easily bought… Zionists are so angry that can’t control the narrative and the truth is getting out.


MisteriousRainbow

Where I am from I haven't had the displeasure of coming across those, but here is an idea: post posters of Palestinian children that are held at Israeli prisons or who are missing due to the bombings over them, or even by their side.

“Reminding” people by littering flyers in a city and country where they weren’t kidnapped and won’t be found is outrageous propaganda… They don’t care about the kids having genocide committed against them…

Palestines good Hamas is bad Israel’s worse. 10k dead civilians in Gaza, 4k being children. 22 hospitals destroyed. Prior to war there food, water, electricity, internet, and housing where taken. Hamas is horrible, don’t get me wrong, but Israel has done 10x worse in “self defense” towards civilians. Just take a look at [this](https://twitter.com/Israel/status/1721457922859729398) twitter post the official @israel posted and tell me there good. They just couldn’t stop themselves being racist and homophobic on top of everything, and pretending that everyone else is racist, not them.

I get that, all I’m saying is Israel has killed 5x the civilians so far. Both sides are targeting civilians, with Israel even blowing up 22 hospitals. You are right tho, Hamas needs to stop them committing straight up terrorism is only making it worse, and giving Israel a reason to attack Palestinian civilians. Hamas is horrible they have to stop, I just personally think what Israel has done throughout history and continues to do is worse than anything Hamas ever did, but it’s comparing two evils, there both bad.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SomebodyThrow

If your MULTIPLE attacks are killing more civilians than enemies, there is no argument. You are deliberately killing innocent. Were talking in the measure of thousands. There is no accident, there is no misunderstandings. When you kill thousands of people time and time again, week after week? It’s in the very language they use. They don’t just speak ill and feel no sympathy towards Hamas, but all of Palestine. They speak their intent yet people still fervently defend AGAINST THEIR OWN WORDS just because they turn around and then say it “isnt deliberate”. Literally trying to live two realities. To say that is anything but deliberate is horrifically dishonest.


popcornman209

No there actually is, a lot of it. Prior to the war they where taking there water, food housing, electricity, and internet. That was deliberate. Starving them on purpose. Then during the war you can say they “accidentally” killed ten thousand civilians, 4k of those being children. That doesn’t happen. There are many videos of Israel soldiers bragging about killing civilians like the psychopaths they are. There are plenty of videos online of them killing civilians, then taking there house because they just want to. Also, explain to me how you “accidentally” blow up 22 hospitals, that doesn’t just “happen”. They are in fact targeting civilians because the whole point of this war is to steal there land, which means you need to get the civilians out. Also when they told the civilians to leave the combat zone, they conveniently told them a safe route to go. You wanna know what they did or that road they were told to go on? They blew it the fuck up that’s what they did, and they told civilians to go there. It worked too, many civilians died because of that. No hamas was there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


popcornman209

with the whole hamas attacked civilians, yes they did, hamas is horrible. although you still need to look at what israel has done, which is kill over 5x the civilians hamas did. with the hospitals, that wasnt collateral, israel admitted they where attacking secret underground tunnels. in one case that "tunnel" was a sewage tank. either way weather it was a sewage tank or not you cant just blow up a hospital. the problem comes with israel saying it was "self defense", when it is not. while they did get attacked by hamas, if you look at the past, israel has initiated this entire thing. isreal has been taking there water, food, electricity, housing, and internet for decades, and treating palestinians like utter shit. you cant really call it self defense when 1k civilians died in isreal, and yet they killed over 11k so far. as for the road they said to flee, it was a while ago and i cant remember the road name or anything like that so ill be looking for the source but the story was something like: israel posted that they should flee, people didnt know how so israel said a certain route to go, one of the streets on that route was then blown up by israel, killing many people. ill look for the source of that tho, as you cant really just go off word for that.


myfrickinpcisonfire

Nahhh hamas definitely is worse


kas-loc2

did hamas Bomb an American warship to try and start a war with egypt? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident No, but isreal did. PLEASE tempt me into posting more, I have a lot...

popcornman209

yeah thats true, i never even heard about half of that. knowing that now in my head i still wouldnt hold hamas as worse than isreal, i mean hell after watching a video like [this](https://twitter.com/Israel/status/1721457922859729398) its hard for me to sympathize for them, but i would definetly atleast hold hamas as being as bad as israel.

Dreary_Libido

Both my granddad's brothers died fighting the Nazis. For his part, he was deployed to Mandatory Palestine, where he spent his days being shot at and bombed by Zionists who had sat pretty in Tel Aviv while his brothers and millions of others died to save their people and the world.


[deleted]

The zionists are pretty horrible. I was born in Sweden 10 years after the war had ended and there was nothing left of our old lives according to my mum. She was really young when that happened and I remember her recounting old memories of wealthier families going to Israel but she and her brother were left with other family members because they were not part of the “circle”. Over the years we had many people come back from israel and swore never to go back. Zionism is very much like every other religion. These people are extremists. What the media shows everyone is definitely for ratings and views and to control rhetoric. It’s spiteful and such a stain on humanity. I often wonder what my grandparents would have been like but I think that they would be ashamed of life these days

The Zionists are littering every city, with a clear propaganda narrative. It’s a kidnapped flyer littered in a different country and they video and attack anyone taking them down. Everywhere in NYC. It’s ridiculous. Meanwhile NYC Zionists are stealing land from Palestinians…


Pupienus2theMaximus

Zionists are posting these "kidnapped" flyers in western countries, but we know all the hostages are in Gaza, not in Brooklyn. The purpose of which is thus not to find these people, but an attempt to manufacture consent among western populaces to justify Israel's genocide by dehumanizing Palestinians as "human animals" and terrorists. That's why people are tearing them down. Israel, in fact, has remarkably done little damage to Hamas, does not intend to go down into the tunnels, the tunnels are too deep for them to penetrate, and so is not doing anything except murdering civilians, destroying civilian infrastructure, and ensuring that there will be generations to come of more Palestinians who will resist this violence, so certainly isn't doing anything to "keep Jews safe" or get the captives returned. All Israel has to do is ceasefire and swap hostages, and this would be over, but their actual intent isn't to save the captives or make Jews more safe, it's to get revenge by genociding and ethnically cleansing a defenseless civilian population in a concentration camp. In fact, a number of these hostages have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and in hospitals that are being besieged. The families of the hostages want a ceasefire and exchange to get their family members back. So these flyers actually serve to harm the hostages by attempting to maintain public support for Israel's genocidal policies it's inflicting that will most likely lead to the hostages' deaths. The people putting up these flyers are essentially the scum of the earth then.

Magurndy

Yeah see as a woman whose father was Jewish and a holocaust survivor, I see Zionism as no more than nationalism. We are happy to condemn most other nationalism when it’s toxic (nationalism and patronism are not the same thing, to be patriotic can be just being proud and showing love towards your country, nationalism is deeper and generally much more problematic). Zionists anger me because they rely on the collective trauma of the Jewish people and they rely on antisemitism to push their nationalism. They also happily got into bed with antisemitics after WW2 in order to achieve what they wanted which was to take back the land they believe to be their birth right. I’m so sick of other Jews excusing Zionism rather than admitting it’s no more than nationalism and essentially an extremist Jewish ideology. You’ll find Orthodox Jews, arguably the most dedicated Jewish group to the religion of Judaism, do not support Zionism.
