Opposing Israel is not the action of a neo-nazi, it is the action of someone who is disgusted by Nazis.
The situation is being framed as the false dichotomy of “Pro-Israel” or “Pro-Palestine” when the real distinction is “Pro-Israel” or “Pro human rights and international law”.
We simply cannot abide by the Israeli idea that the Israelites are a people so much better than anyone else, that they are allowed to dictate who is just and who is not period They have become the very Nazis that persecuted the Jews back in the 40s
so Palestine is pro human rights and international law??? need i remind you of the failed rocket launch (aimed at israeli civilians) that misfired, hit and killed many Palestinians at the hospital in gaza??
That’s a perfect exemplification of the logical fallacy I mentioned! Thank you.
Calling Israel’s apartheid “modern” to me kind of implies that South Africa’s apartheid, whose transitional period ended in 1994, was somehow “ancient” or “old-fashioned”… Yeah, you can rest assured that apartheid/segregation always has been far too modern.
I mean… It ended. Almost 30 years ago. So it’s not happening in the modern day.
30 years was so long ago.
Flip phones, PAY PHONES and pagers!
That’s how long ago it was.I agree as I do not consider my IBM PS/1 25mhz system to be a modern computer.
I own a flip phone now, I pay with my phone and pagers are alive and well at the hospital I work at. Just saying…
I was thinking about this recently and it won’t happen given the current climate but what Palestinians need is their own Truth and Reconciliation just like South Africans did. Codify that shit.
this combined with the orders from IDF that under no circumstances were celebrations or signs of joy allowed when prisoners were returned to their families; fucking ghouls.
prisoners, why were they prisoners again? oh yea that’s right becuase they were literal terrorist
do you want examples? maybe the women who drove with a full gas tank into an israeli border checkpoint near Jerusalem and blew up half her face as well as a police officer’s face and chest - asra jabas, look her up
We can criticize Israel, while condemning Hamas terrorists
Ted Kaczynski made a lot of really solid points, but bombing people, especially civilians, is wrong.
People still cheer for Luke Skywalker though.
Humans are more tribalistic than rational. They pick sides and justify later.
The Death Star was a military installation that had already shown itself to be aggressive with death tolls in the literal billions. Not a fair comparison.
To be fair, Tarkin misused what was clearly a mining tool. Planets are too valuable a resource to blast into high-velocity debris. The Tarkin doctrine only works if Imperial policy is fair to begin with (which it isn’t) otherwise it is the reverse of common COIN theory (hearts and minds).
Tarkin behaved stupidly and provoked a terrorist attack that successfully (and spectacularly) disabled a huge Imperial asset.

How in the fuck would one do something like this and still consider themself a mensch?
I was being rhetorical, but the answer is dehumanization, which is the height of irony considering how Israel came to exist in modernity.
Israel is a product of European Colonization. It predates WW1 and WW2. After learning more about it, IMO it shouldn’t exist as it does today.
Jews and Christians and Muslims lived in the area since the religions were invented, we don’t need a European colony to still exist.
Garbage and rocks. Don’t forget rocks
Israel has a right to defend itself.
I don’t get the point of trotting out this old chestnut. Is anyone arguing that Israel does not have the right to defend itself?
No. The concern is the manner and proportionality of the defense. Both of which are barbaric and over the top.
Okay Boomer.
Is it too late to say I forgot the /s?
Nah, not your fault. The sarcasm was quite obvious.
Nah, it sounded like a typical comment from a closed-minded Israel supporter so yeah too late.
