Proud GenXer here. True dat! I’m not Israeli. I’m not Palestinian. It’s not my problem. My world doesn’t stop if Palestine is destroyed. My world doesn’t stop if Israel is destroyed. Their hate for each other is their problem not mine. |
Look up on this page and tell me how no one said "all Palestinians." |
But your tax dollars are being used to fund a genocide against innocent Palestinians. You don’t have to pick a side but you should care that your money is being used to fund the terrorism of the Israeli government. |
Exactly. What an uneducated moron. |
Then figure out a way to not give "glory" to Hamas terrorists. |
Maybe figure out how not to draw the wrong conclusions based on your limited knowledge of another culture? Are you going to boycott British people for talking about fags too? |
Oh come on, this is just getting absurd. |
I'm not drawing any conclusions. "Glory" is the term being used. Nothing about a suicidal barbaric murderer deserves "glory." |
My tax dollars have funded several genocides. There's no stopping politicians and their interests in foreign wars. |
My tax dollars subsidized massacres in Yemen far worse than anything in Israel or Gaza. I don't recall anyone caring then. |
Then go learn something about the culture. I'm the PP and am an American WASP who learned some Arabic and spent time in the Middle East. It's harder to demonize people when you speak their language and have spent time living in their society. They just seem like normal people and then when they're dehumanized in American discourse and slaughtered with your tax dollars it might actually tear at your conscience the way that it should. Americans in general know too little about the world. If Americans had any idea what life under the occupation is like, there would be a lot less support for Israel. |
Yet another ignorant comment from you. You do realize we elect these fools, right? |
The point is that “martyrs” refers to all of the civilians killed by Israeli bombing. I’ve seen family members post “glory to our martyrs” referring to 12 year old girls shot for stepping outside their house. |
That's hard to believe considering the umbrella group - SJP - actually praised the Hamas terrorists following the 10/7 attack. And, don't forget they featured a paraglider on their flyer announcing a "Day of Resistance." If you don't want to be accused of supporting Hamas when you shout "Glory to the Martyrs," then you shouldn't associate with groups that have actually outright condoned the actions of the terrorists on 10/7.

| Now, I’d sure like to see some well funded primary opponents take on and beat the pro-Hamas sympathizers in Congress. Buh-bye! |
