"civilization" vs "barbarians"
Typical speech for those trying to justify genocide.
Where's Boudica when you need her.
Not a Jewish state, a Zionist state. A Jewish state would follow the Mosaic Covenant. They wouldn't covet their neighbor's property (Palestinian's land) They wouldn't kill (genocide). They wouldn't take the name of God in vein by attributing their horrible actions to their god. They wouldn't steal the land and houses from people. They wouldn't bear false witness against their neighbor by calling Palestinians terrorists for simply not giving up when their land is being stolen. A Jewish state might not be that bad, a Zionist state, on the other hand, is a fascist state. #Gaza #Genocide #Fascism #Netanyahu #Zionism #FreePalestine
Jews never agree on anything unanimously. We joke in Judaism that every small town has at least two synagogues, because of this
But as States go, you only have one full of Zionist assholes. Because the Jews in the other side are the ones that dont think there is a place for genocide, settler colonialism, and ethno-States
For this reason, there cannot be a Jewish State.
Since when did war crimes count as just means?
"Israeli fascist, go fuck yourself."
He sounds like Hitler when he talked about the Soviets
What a weird way to refer to your country. "The one and only Jewish state" thats like saying "the one and only American state" or "the one and only French state"
Stfu and go to The Hague you fuckin low life war criminal
Well, I was on the fence about Carney, now I see he won't be totally awful for the country.
At least he answers questions comprehensively.
Ha, "civilization". So that's what they're calling genocide today. Netanyahu needs to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
Isn't that the standard line when it comes to people settling land with pre-existing tenants?
Stacks of dead innocent people and he thinks the other guys are the barbarians. Irresponsible statement?! HAHAHA. Get fucked you murderous piece of shit! There is no justification for what you are doing. And who cares about your one and only state. You don't deserve it.
I hate Hamas but the way Israel is dealing with this is horrible.
It doesn’t have to black and white or antisemitic to say that.
And yes, Hamas is playing an asymmetrical game and using the rules of engagement as a shield, but that’s still not an excuse for leveling entire cities and indiscriminately killing civilians, or blocking aid that you could instead be supervising.
The main thing is that Isreal intentionally blocked and prevented critical aid from reaching a starving population of civilians. Thats the core of the genocide case because it demonstrates motive and intentionality to hurt only the civilian population. The report that revealed this was what flipped my opinion from supporting isreals response and war objectives.
People call bombing buildings and killing civilians genocide but its an expected part of this type of war. If the enemy hides among the civilian population you can kill the civilian population. If the enemy hides in buildings and booby traps them, you can destroy the buildings.
You realize Hamas is a government, right?
They employ social workers, civil engineers, etc.
Its fine to hate their military, but dont hate the guy picking up the garbage or laying water mains.
I hate the taliban too, and they’re a government.
I don’t have anything against the common Palestinian just trying to live their life or working in the hospitals.
I think it’s very clear who the problem people are.
I think it’s very clear who the problem people are.
Yeah, the ones running Israel
Bibi is a fascist authoritarian, a war criminal, and is so corrupt he's facing jail when he leaves office. He is no better than Hamas.
Zionism is literally religious nationalism — which shouldn't be tolerated by ANY religion — therefore Israel IS a fascist state. Society needs to stop acting like it's okay for the abused to become the abuser because they were abused. It was never okay, and it still isn't.
Bibi, the Liberals are already going to win, you don't need to help them!
It boggles my mind every day that a fucking Jew would commit genocide. Goddamn.
Collective trauma is real. The Jewish people, and the world, should never forget the Holocaust. But when “never again” gets twisted into “never again, for us” it changes the attitude entirely:
I will tell you something about the Holocaust. It would be nice to believe that people who have undergone suffering have been purified by suffering.
But it’s the opposite, it makes them worse. It corrupts. There is something in suffering that creates a kind of egoism. And when such monstrous things have happened to your people, you feel nothing can be compared to it. You get a moral “power of attorney”, a permit to do anything you want – because nothing can compare to what has happened to us. This is a moral immunity which is very clearly felt in Israel.
Uri Avery, speaking after the IDF’s massacre at Sabra and Shatila
Uri was a Zionist poster child - his immediate family fled to (then mandatory Palestine) after the Nazis took power; every other relative who stayed in Germany was murdered in the Holocaust. His life story is incredible to read, and it’s a bitter truth to accept that he was marginalized and ignored by wider Israeli society because of his peace activism later in life.
Not Our Jew. He's been kicked out of the Tribe.
Imagine the lack of self-reflection to call someone a barbarian while committing genocide to steal more land from Palestine. I can't apprehend the confusion of thought necessary to think this way without starting with some blunt force trauma to the noggin.
Didn't many leaders in Europe come out and say they're not going to arrest him when he visits?
Europe is just whispering to tell him they're fine with whatever he does. It's not just a single man's self-reflection anymore when he's been told there will not be any consequences of his actions.
Shit did Carney criticize Israel? He gonna get 90%in my riding anyway, but I might change from bloc to liberal if it's a proper critic.
Canada has always sided with civilization
well that’s one way of saying it
