"The culture in the military, when it comes to Palestinians, is that they are only targets. They are not human beings. This is how the military teaches you to behave."
You would think jewish people, if anyone, would understand the problems that come with the dehumanization of a people.
The abused have become abusers.
Also known as "a cycle of violence". Or " hurt people, hurt people" But at what stage is it someone's responsibility to break this most vicious of cycles?
Tbf none of these mfers are hurt. They're just in power. Historically those in power abuse those who have no power
Jews faired quite well under most Muslim governments in the Middle East, North Africa and during the Mauritanian rule in Spain. Meanwhile the Christians loved to slaughter them.
I was referring to their power base. If there was no cultural pain there, there would be nothing to exploit to remain in power so that they an perpetrate this atrocity.
I'm not sure that's accurate, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today. I'm sure there's plenty of hate brewed up in them, and hate is a lot like swallowing poison and expecting another person to die.
I'm not trying to justify anything, I'm merely pointing out that hate doesn't just spring from nowhere. You have to suffer to hate, even if that suffering is marginal compared to others.
I think all beings suffer technically.
That said no you don't need to suffer to know hate honestly it is easier to hate without suffering, those who suffer have empathy. Kindest people you'll meet will have difficult lives. The losers, dregs, outcasts and hurt ones. Most assholes I know are privileged and comfortable.
Israel has been quiet comfortable and very privileged.
Its their responsibility at every stage or it never stops.
Yup. And if they don't, it's everyone else's responsibility to get in the way. We're sending the white side weapons, instead.
No
Stop playing into Israel's game of equating Jews to Israelis.
Israelis ⊂ Jews
I mean, technically, there are non-Jewish Israelis, but we all know they aren't in the driver's seat of anything. There's definitely non-Israeli Jews, like me, and it's super shitty they're making me feel bad about it.
No, that's not my point. You're saying "The abused have become abusers", and while yes, israelis are Jews, abused who became abusers, Jews as a whole aren't represented by israel, so not all the abused became the abusers.
So my point is that you can's say "the abused became the abusers", only some of the abused became so, who are people with a common identity which is distinct to being Jew, and that identity is zionists.
Zionists are abused who have become abusers, Jews as a whole have not.
For reference, "⊂" means proper subset. That is, a subset which is smaller to some non-zero degree than the whole set. It sounds like we don't disagree. Again, I'm in the picture here, if only by blood.
So in your opinion, all the bad things are done by Jews and non-Jewish Israelis haven't done anything bad?
I have no idea what they do. Why would I? They're insignificant. The Arab parties, for example, are pretty much a footnote in Israeli politics.
Why? Most of them have been taught they are god's chosen
It's sick how all Palestinans are referred to simply as "terrorists" by some Israelis, and not just those in the military.

20yo dumbfucks posting their spoils of war on social media. The spoils of war in this case being actual human beings.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
