We have to stop them

Pretty rare to see actual antisemitism showcased on this sub...

Opposing Israel is not antisemitic; equating Israel with jews in general is, though

[-] Core_of_Arden@lemmy.ml 1 points 47 minutes ago

You do know that Palestinians are a semitic people too, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people

Half of conspiracy boy’s list is because of the US… And the JFK one just renders him without merit at all. So f’ing tired of the nonstop conspiracy sh’t people drivel. We are in a true golden age of just saying crap that sounds good to our anger.

JFK assasination is plausibly because JFK demanded investigation of Israel their stolen nukes and the CIA was heavily compromised since then by Israeli spies.

I highly doubt it. Without Israel the US would just pick another favorite child in the Middle East and carry on like before.

[-] Armio2@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

They would definately try, but its really hard to find another child like Israel.

Honestly I can't really think of any another excuse they could use to send white colonialists to live in the Middle East.

If they can't put white colonialists there, the "favorite child" would have to be a nation from a local ethnicity (and, "worst", Muslim) and the whole propagandistic idea that "they have Western Values" - a slogan which carries both a "they think like us" for Liberals and a "they look like us" for Conservatives so as to get the support of both political groups - wouldn't work anywhere as well, plus there would be no group of people in the West unwaveringly supporting them entirely out of tribalism (as a large segment of the Jewish people in most Western countries support Israel no matter what).

So I totally agree with you that it would extremelly hard, maybe even impossible, to have a favored child in the Middle East that could get the level of public opinion support in the West that Israel managed to get.

Israelis aren’t white they are jews

Imagine no religion.... Yes I know religion is secondary cause of the conflict, but fewer Theocracies is always a good thing. Plus drying up the modern pilgrimage to slavery pipeline Saudi Arabia has created would be nice too.

[-] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago

Religion is the excuse, not the cause.

[-] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 6 points 1 day ago

An excuse and a means.

[-] Armio2@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

The thing is many people who are fighting and are against zionism have a religion too. palestinians have a religion too.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

People will use another excuse to commit massacres

[-] Makhno@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Sounds like an excuse for shitty, murderous imaginary friends

Patriotism, clan, tribe, gang, looks, ability, gender...
