Political Discussion
Where do I say “Jews”? I say “Israel’s leaders.” Your claim is absurd. Please stop throwing up melodramatic smoke screens about Jew hatred in a blatant effort to hide Israel’s repugnant behavior. Israel has admitted to organ theft, especially skin theft, in the past, and it is at least possible it is still doing the same thing. This is not conduct an ethical person would want to support. |
If Israel cannot exist as a sovereign nation on its own two feet then that is a huge problem. It is not the responsibility of U.S taxpayers to fund Israel’s “existence”. They have been very successful for mooching off billions of dollars in the last 70 years but this madness needs to stop, they are a thriving country and surely they can exist on their own. People there are enjoying a great quality of life while poor schmucks funding them are filing medical bankruptcies. |
Nothing to do with being “an X.” Please don’t put words in my mouth. It’s disingenuous. Germany also stole land and used stolen organs (in that case, skin to make lampshades). It’s what fascists do. Being “an X” is immaterial. |
This is gross distortion of reports - unsubstantiated and denied by Israel - from almost a decade ago. There is no evidence this is happening now. This rumor has been fueled by unsubstantiated claims from a Hamas-aligned organization. An ethical person isn’t spreading blood libel-type rumors to fuel hatred against Jews. Enough. |
You'd be wrong. I have a very involved Boomer relative who has taken to protesting Israel with the same zeal he once brought to SDS meetings. I see all his social media posts. I read the gibberish he posts for arguments. And this isn't new. I've even seen his slideshows from his tragedy tourist trip to Gaza ten years ago, in which an Israeli soldier, all of 18, laughed and said "we killed Jesus hah hah." "See?" My Boomer relative told me at the time. "Israelis, they're not good people." I know how easily people like you--and my own father--can be convinced to dehumanize entire groups of people based on the actions of a few. I've seen how seductive the call of a cause can be to people like him--like you. We all want to be on the side of the angels. We all want to believe we're good people. The truth is, most of us never have to actually decide anything. It's just posturing. |
Which is why the repugnant Netanyahu brags that Americans are “easily manipulated.” No more. We may be good-natured, but we draw the line at funding genocide. |
But blood libel type rumors to fuel hatred against Palestinians are ok? |
They weren’t unsubstantiated or denied by Israel. The IDF admitted to them, and Israel changed their laws to make it explicitly illegal. |
Also, allegations, substantiated, and admitted to. Whether they are continuing is clear, but since they lied about things like stopping use of white phosphorus and continue to use it, who is to say that they aren’t lying now on other things, too? |
You don't support the much more expensive and probably pointless war in Ukraine, are you? |
The only thing that will make the U.S. stop funding Israel is if someone loses an election because of it. |
And that is why some people are making the US' support of Israel a single issue vote. |
No, I don’t support Ukraine. If Zelensky had an iota of sense he would have remained in Putin’s good books as Putin lives NEXT door to him, he wouldn’t be clamoring to bring NATO to Putin’s doorstep and then expect no consequences, what an idiot. And what has Ukraine gained from all this? Setback their economy by 20 years, thousands of young lives lost and for what? To join NATO? |
But today, American taxpayers are still funding whatever Netanyahu wants. Exactly which of our politicians will stand up for us, and anger the massive Israeli lobby base in Washington? Heck, where’s that mile long list of current politicians who maintain dual citizenship with Israel? |
Not just politicians but half of Biden’s cabinet probably has dual citizenship. |
