Please don't equate the actions of Israelis to all Jews.
please don't defend religions
While Judaism is a religion, not all Jews are religious. Jews are an ethno-cultural group as well. I'm not defending the religion of Judaism, I'm saying don't lump the horrific actions of Israel and Zionists with people who are not supporting the genocide.
i too am a human with an ethnic background
Yes, and you should not be blamed if a country co-opts your identity and commits a genocide, unless you support it.
Zionists are often extremely antisemitic. The founder of zionism was so antisemitic that his quotes can be attributed to Hitler or Goebbels and people wouldn't tell the difference.
I'm Jewish. Am I doing anything to stop the death toll? No. Have you done anything to stop the death toll? No, probably not.....so yes all Jews. Maybe if all the people came together to Israel, Israel might pick different methods to achieve its goal instead of bullets and bomb shells and missiles.
Just because you aren't doesn't mean others are as apathetic to genocide committed in their name.
Secondly, Zionism is an inherently colonial apartheid project. The methods are required for the end goal. People don't want to leave their homeland and give up all their shit. If you want them too, which is ideologically required for Zionism, then those are the methods you're going to use.
The problem isn't the bombs and guns, it's the colonialism and apartheid. The methods are fixed when those are the goals.
Yahweh's original name was El. In the Canaanite pantheon he was a god of war and death. The Israelites did their best to get away from that, but that is the god they decided to make "the only god."
all abrahamic religions always were. destroy them all. people still believing in gods in the 21st century are a liability to the welfare of this planet. the easiest solution is the obvious one. build a better world. start today.
The problem is: how do you get rid of religion? A state should not make it illegal.
Also many people who’ve experienced terrible shit find hope in religion (that’s the only pro for it imo)
civil liberties are for those who are civil. i'd put the entire southern US (and parts of the western red states) in reeducation camps without a bit of guilt if i knew it would ensure generations to come wouldn't have to suffer living alongside people who deny basic reality. if the end result is less suffering, the ends justify the means. it's just logic. sometimes you have to divorce yourself from reactionary emotions.
You would answer atrocity with atrocity and call it progress. Tell me, the families of those you "re-educate," do you expect them to allow you to do this without a fight? And others of conscience who object, will you imprison them too? How many would you murder to reach your ideological purity? When you're done, will you look in the mirror and recognize that you, too, are impure?
it's not about me or you. it's about the generations that follow us.
and yeah, if the ends justify the means, then the ends justify the means.
Zionists are Atheists. How does this affect your view on Atheism?
