What's that that chuds always say? That if someone blocks the road they'd rather just floor it no matter what happens?

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 37 points 5 months ago

Those Israelis are like Americans. They likely have guns and will shoot blindly and kill everybody around them

[-] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 45 points 5 months ago

A fair number probably are Americans

[-] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

Well you see they didn't personally physically kill anyone themselves with their own two hands, and if they did, it was OK because they were on duty at the time

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

Also, there's no camps, trains, funny mustaches, Hugo boss uniforms, esoteric occultism...

It has to be a play by play remake of Nazis or it's not a genocide.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

Remember when Maduro didn't let aid into the country and all the hawks called for invasion?

(nevermind that it was aid from US Military planes, sent by John Bolton, the man who sent arms disguised as aid to CONTRAS to overthrow a left wing government... and pay no attention to the fact that they chose a closed bridge to deliver it over, when there were two open and working bridges a few miles away)

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

Not only that. I recall there was a system for delivering aid the US chose to ignore. Russia got aid in just fine. It painted the picture for me like it was undoubtedly some kind of bullshit plan

it's honestly unreal how just one image can sum up almost everything in this evil world

Death to America

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

See this is why I fundamentally believe they can't be rehabilitated; none of these people are redeemable and the whole nation is like that

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago

I'm the first person to shit on Israelis, but I have met ppl who have fled conscription. I know they're a rarity, but they do exist.

[-] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 5 months ago

Gotta respect that one Twitter Swiftie who went to jail over their refusal to serve

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

Statistically speaking tho, I'm right.

[-] astreus@lemmy.ml 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I dunno...the company I work for has a Tel Aviv office and there's an Israeli on my team. We are always talking about this shit, how disgusting it is, how he got a black eye at the last protest for daring to call Muslims people, etc etc.

There is a large amount of fascists in Israel - it is a European colonial state after all - but painting everyone with the same brush is not it, especially people that were born there and are trying to make it better for everyone. Like any large group, they are not homogenous and portraying any group as homogenously evil is dangerous to the extreme.

I'd suggest reading some of the "New Historians" to get a sense of the wide range of people that live in the colony known as Israel. Ilan Pappe is a good place to start imo.

(Edit: spelling)

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

98% of Israelis believe netanyahu is using appropriate or not enough force on the gazans right now. I get that there are unicorns, but let's not pretend this issue is a divider in Isntrael.

The Isntraelis are protesting netanyahu for a bunch of dumb shit, and unsurprisingly genocide isn't one of them.

[-] astreus@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Can I get a source for that number? The amount of Israeli propaganda when you try to search it is insane (jfc NPR) so can't find anything concrete.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

Poll results were also hawkish when it came to the use of force in Gaza: 57.5% of Israeli Jews said that they believed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were using too little firepower in Gaza, 36.6% said the IDF was using an appropriate amount of firepower, while just 1.8% said they believed the IDF was using too much fire power, while 4.2% said they weren’t sure whether it was using too much or too little firepower.

[-] astreus@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Well goddamn! That's insane! Thanks for the source.

However, I'd still argue collective punishment of the (up to) 6% is still wrong. And the idea that they 94% are somehow too far gone to be changed is defeatist in the extreme!

I'd also argue that no one is inherently fascist or unsavable. Brain washing can be broken. Calling for the deaths of roughly 9m people (as some of the others in this chain have done) is inherently wrong and plays into the reactionists hands ("they'd do it to us if they could so we need to do it to them").

EDIT: On top of that, I want to highlight the date: November 10, 2023. The poll was conducted a month after Oct 7th. I would be interested to see what the polls say now.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

No disrespect but what the actual fuck are you talking about?

Where did I ever say I support collective punishment? I just said that you can't talk to people that far gone.

[-] astreus@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

none of these people are redeemable

That was you.

Which led to someone else replying:

Statistically speaking there probably isn’t a nicer country if you were going to do a Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

The second comment was a joke, and even then I didn't call for any violence.

Also how tf do you hear someone say a group of people are irredeemable and your first thought is that they're calling for violence? I think Trump supporters are irredeemable too; lots of people are irredeemable that doesn't mean violence is ok.

The call is coming from inside the house with this; if YOU think that violence is justified when a group of people are "irredeemable" that's your fucked up problem.

[-] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

There are definitely nicer countries. You're telling me Ireland and Isntrael are the same?

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Nobody can be rehabilitated when it comes to ideology. We need to be "egg snatchers" and indoctrinate their children.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

No you can change people's ideology. Most people on this site had to learn about Marxism-Leninism, they weren't born with that knowledge.

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

I think it comes from within.

[-] hello_hello@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I don't find it an issue. Once Palestine is established and Israel is demolished most of these settlers are going to fuck right off back to the West where they came from. It's a self solving problem for the most part.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

I don't think that's what happened to South Africa

[-] footfaults@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

melon-musk fled South Africa after apartheid

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

Many stayed, I think the richest will leave. But the common person? Those people will stay no doubt.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 26 points 5 months ago

I remember seeing this shit a while ago and they're treating it like a fucking festival, and bringing their children to celebrate the deliberate starvation of an ethnic group. These people deserve to have the aid trucks run them over but alas, they're using their children as human shields.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

It lacks the local and cultural characteristics of terrorism. This is just a sparkling protest.

Because most human beings have decency, unlike these shitters who block humanitarian aides
