Political Discussion
There are numerous credible sources saying otherwise, that senior Hamas operatives were in fact killed or captured. You're lying and/or deranged, and you only make the pro-Palestinian cause look all the more delusional and dishonest. |
By the IDF bra and panty brigade? lol |
Hahaha! They are so accustomed to naive people just taking them at their word, but the streaming age has revealed them to be the shitty, serial liars we always suspected then to be. |
Why hasn’t Israel been able to get itself off U.S. welfare after all these years? |
Any sources not Israeli? No. So let’s just take this as typical Israel propaganda to provide cover for war crimes. You religious zealots will lie about anything as long as you can continue to kill women and children. What a bunch of Nazi. |
| You’re so cool! You call Israelis Nazis. You’re so knowledgeable! From your desk in Chevy Chase. Or Russia. |

These accusations of antisemitism are malicious, disingenuous, and highly illogical. They are equivalent to saying that anyone who expresses solidarity with the Rohingya must be "anti-Buddhist." The ignorance behind such a claim is apparent when you consider that most Burmese people are Theravada Buddhists (the official state religion of Myanmar), so an "anti-Buddhist" accusation would include millions of people outside this specific group. Also, there are many Buddhists, Theravada and otherwise, who do not support the Myanmar government's crimes against humanity. Obviously, the accusation would not make sense. As well as ignorant, such an accusation would be uncharitable. It would accuse good-hearted humanitarians of irrationally hating all Buddhists when their major concern is with the way Myanmar treats the Rohingya, and their secondary concern is with the Myanmar government's supremacist policies. You get into a similar mess if you define support for Palestinians and concern about Israel's ethnic dominance as "antisemitic." There is nothing antisemitic about expressing solidarity with the Palestinians, especially while they are being slaughtered en masse, starved to death, and denied access to healthcare, basic sanitation, and education! Increasingly, Jews, and especially younger Jews, are expressing the same sentiments. One of the most vocal and active anti-Zionist groups on college campuses is Jewish Voice for Peace. These young people are calling for a ceasefire, a free Palestine, and an "intifada" (which is variously defined). Are you calling these Jews "antisemitic" when they are being truly authentic to their humanitarian and egalitarian values and beliefs? |
Indeed, not all Israelis are Nazis. There are Orthodox Jewish Israelis and progressive Israelis who strongly oppose Zionism and the creation of Israel, even though they may currently reside there. Unfortunately, though, the Israeli government is fascist and has several criteria in common with Nazism. It's built on a belief in ethnic supremacy and racial entitlement. Interfaith marriages are banned in Israel, which underscores the racist nature of the government. Similarly, Nazi Germany passed laws forbidding intermarriage between Jews and "Aryans." In both cases, these laws are designed to preserve "the racial purity" of the privileged ethnic group. Both the Zionist government and the Nazis abuse(d) a despised ethnic group that is held in contempt. Both consider(ed) plans to relocate these "inconvenient" people. One genocided them in the death camps; the other genocides them in the Gaza Strip. Both have aggressively seized Lebensraum; one continues to do so (Israel just seized 800 hectares of land in the West Bank and declared it "state land"). Both limit(ed) free speech and use(d) state violence to suppress dissent. |
We are not arguing over Myanmar. If you want to talk about Myanmar, you can start a new thread and I think we would be in agreement - the Government of Myanmar’s actions have been absolutely despicable on a level that is approaching the evil of Hamas/Palestinians. If Hamas would release every last hostage, and surrender unconditionally, this war would be over. It is Hamas and Palestinians dragging out this war with their continued attempts at genocide against the global Jewish population, not Israel executing their right to defend their nation and people against these acts of genocide. The only people to blame for any supposed tragedy in Gaza is Hamas - the democratically elected government of the independent Gaza’s State that has built their headquarters in hospitals and schools, stolen billions of dollars of aid intended for their civilian population through their alliance with the UNRWA, The Red Crescent, and other crooked “humanitarian” organizations, and has continued to call for the global genocide of the Jewish people. They hold blame for any Gaza’s killed as a result of their campaign of hate, and this war cannot end until Gazans recognize this and welcome the stability and kindness of Israel. And no, 99.9% of Jewish people support Israel, and love Israel. It is our ancestral home, and we dream of one day being able to live there once again. Terrorist pro-Hamas organizations like “Jewish” Voice for Peace are little more then shams put together by Hamas and Hamas affiliated individuals to sow discord and propaganda and to pretend you could be Jewish without supporting Israel. If “Jewish” Voice for Peace actually cared about peace, they would be championing the Israeli cause, and bringing in IDF heroes to speak on how their mission of liberation in Gaza, not convicted Hamas terrorists: https://www.timesofisrael.com/jewish-voice-for-peace-to-host-convicted-terrorist-at-confab/amp/. |
But you're not seeing a Part III 700 page thread expressing sympathy with the Rohingya because there's no way to twist things to blame Jews for their problems. Ultimately, this is a hot topic here in your life because Russian, Chinese, and Islamist propagandists (and their many useful idiot friends among our local pro-Marxists) are taking advantage of foundational antipathy toward Jews to create a false, simplistic good/evil binary that serves their own political interests. The theme of Jew hatred as a virtue runs 2000 years deep in Western culture and gets activated in troubled times to redirect popular frustration away from actual problems and toward the world's oldest scapegoats. Antisemitism is not a social prejudice. It is a conspiracy theory that holds you had better destroy the Jews because they have become too powerful and will hurt you if you don't hurt them first. Jew hatred is always framed as "punching up," and is always described as virtuous. |
Heyyyy! Tell me: did god personally literally gave you this land? |
You see absolutely no irony in calling Jewish people Nazis, as they defend their Country against the largest genocide they have faced since the Holocaust, and are increasingly facing more and more international anti-Semitic forces pushing against the safety of the global Jewish population and their own inalienable right to sovereignty, including a United Nations that has formed a clear and inarguable alliance with the Hamas militants that are conducting the ongoing genocidal actions against Jews. This is a war that has gone global. You either support Israel and Jews basic right to exist, or you support Hamas. You have made your decision, I hope you can live with it. |
Kindness of Israel!!!! Did you consider a career in standup comedy? |
You realize how anti-Semitic this “joke” is? The Jewish Bible clearly outlines that their God was highly influential in the founding and establishment of Israel as a Jewish State in the ancient times. Jewish people do generally believe that God provided Israel to them after seeing the suffering and horrors they went through as a primarily nomadic people, as a place to settle and to build prosperity and security. So no, we don’t believe that God “personally literally” handed Israel to us, but we do believe that Israel was provided to our people (as a whole) partially through acts of God, and we do believe that God intends Israel to be a land where Jews can be free, and can prosper alongside our Arab brothers and sisters. Attacking Jews based on these beliefs are no different then attacking Christians on their belief that Jesus, “personally literally” came back from the dead to ‘save’ all Christians from going to hell. Obviously, as a Jew I personally find that story to be questionable, but I would never use it as a sick attack against every Christian who did not agree with the crazy, extremist viewpoint I theoretically was espousing about, for example, how a genocidal group of atheists dead set on killing every Christian in the world were actually the good guys. |
