One of the Israelis who got shot posted that he was the target of anti-Semitism and ends his message with 'Death to Arabs'

(Untranslated facebook source)

So basically, everyone involved in this incident is a terrible person. Lovely.

Get shot by Zionist for looking too Arab

Post "Death to Arabs"

Zionism is one hell of a cult.

Did he get shot in the head, or was he always a moron?

[-] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 16 points 4 days ago

Zionism is modern day nazism

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure that’s still just nazism

But Zionists are fascist

[-] b161 9 points 4 days ago

Lucky us we have both Zionist Fascism, and good old Classic Fascism to deal with.

Because if they really were Palestinians, obviously that would've been perfectly A-OK?

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 89 points 4 days ago

This is the propaganda we are sold, yes.

Like all for all other Nazi-style movements, Zionists are going into the next stage of ethno-Fascism: the part were the Zionists start killing other members of the ethnicity they claim to represent for "not being White enough".

(Just go check how they treat Ethiopian Jews is Israel if you have any doubt that they're a white supremacist movement)

at the core of every genocide is some sickeningly arbitrary difference that not even the people enacting the genocide can fully discern. Palestinians are indigenous to the Levant, just like Jews were. they just survived the ethnic cleansing enacted by the romans differently. similarly by both russia, and many Ukrainians telling of the origins of the rus, they originated from Kyiv. back in the 1930s and 40s, the Germans had to invent more and more arbitrary ways to identify Jews because since resettlement in Galitsye (today divided between Germany, Chzechia, Poland, russia, and Ukraine) Jews integrated themselves into the indigenous population (in large part thanks to unprecedented religious tolerance on behalf of the people of Galitsye and later Poland) meaning telling who was and wasn't Jewish was hard to impossible for the German officers responsible for deciding who to kill.

my point is this: arbitrarily killing Palestinians is antisemitic. it runs even a little deeper than simply "Palestinians are semitic, just like me" given that their cultural traditions are shared. it gets into violence against my sister is violence against me. harm against Palestinians is harm against Jews. once there are no more identifiably Palestinian people left to kill, next will come the Jews who aren't identifiably non-Palestinian enough. and who decides who that is? where does the killing stop?

the best way to avoid being killed in a genocide is to prevent genocide from happening. the second best way is to bring ongoing genocides to an end. unfortunately, it is falling to us, the populace, to defend ourselves from the military apparatus of the imperial powers of the globe. a great battle is about to unfold between the forces of good, evil, and indifference, just as it has approximately every 80 years throughout history. part of our aim in thi; battle is to preserve our message that we were here. that there was good in the world even at its worst.

i hope you've read a diary of a young girl by anne frank, and understand its gravity. it breaks my heart that a 13 year old saw all of what i'm seeing and chose to make her death meaningful as a story that passes this tale of resistance and kindness in the face of atrocity to me, but the point is that her voice made it through. so please, don't put her pain to waste. start taking actions you think 80 years from now someone who learns what you did during this time will be proud of, and find inspiring. even if it's something as simple as documenting the things you see, or growing food to share with your neighbors.

do what our ancestors did when faced with these times, plant trees the shade of which your physical body will never rest under

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago

Careful. Zionists get very sad if you mention that Arabs are Semites.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 35 points 4 days ago

Fuck the Zionists. FUCK THE ZIONISTS. Zionism is anti-semitic and not just because it's anti-arab. It's fuckin' anti-jewish.

aren't israelis technically Palestinians since the region is called Palestine?

[-] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

It'll be renamed to the "Holy Land of America" on Google maps any day now, so I guess they'll all get called "Ameristinians" as a catch-all term.

OBVIOUSLY /s

Israeli prime minister Golda Meir said she’s a Palestinian.

The use of the word Palestinian changed over time. Before the establishment of Israel Palestinian was often used specifically to refer to Jews living in the holy land. Lots of Jewish founded institutions like airlines, newspapers, sports teams, orchestras were named Palestinian. They changed their names after Israel was founded.

The Arabs used Palestinian as their national identity only after Israel was established. The Palestinian identity as we know it today coalesced in the 1960s.

Before the British Mandate for Palestine, the Arabs in the region tended to identify as Syrian.

[-] just_an_average_joe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Here a link: https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine

which refutes your claims in the last sentences but surely why should we trust britannica over a zionism apologist who clearly is pandering to their political agenda.

Your link doesn’t say what you claim it does.

I can't teach you how to read honestly. You made some baseless claims without any evidence. I share a link that disproves your claims (btw I mentioned which in my previous comment). And your response is "nuh uh".

How could I quote something that’s not in the linked article?

I miss the old days when all racism was bad.

[-] ehpolitical@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 days ago

Racists are never the sharpest tools in the shed. Most racist man I ever knew was never wronged by anyone except people of his own race, go figure.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 119 points 5 days ago

I assume if he had shot Palestinians like he thought he did, DeSantis would have given him some sort of award.

Anyone left at the justice department for those hate crime charges? Seems like an open and shut case

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

I love that, no matter who we elect, there's never any reasonable movement on gun control.

(That's sarcasm. I don't love it.)

[-] Geobloke@lemm.ee 24 points 4 days ago

Ahhh the ol shoot em all and let God sorry them out technique

Good thing this jackass had terrible aim.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 54 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

He used 17 shots and the result:

sent the two victims to the hospital for their wounds, with one reportedly shot in the shoulder and the other hit in the forearm

So yes, that was lucky!

the suspect, 27-year-old Mordechai Brafman, who shot them 17 times, was charged with attempted murder.

So I guess the shooter was lucky too, he survived the arrest.

Did they condem Hamas though?

[-] filister@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

They literally did. One of the victims allegedly posted on Instagram some pics from the aftermath of the shooting and wrote "Death to Arabs" in Hebrew. Imagine the uproar and condemnation if someone posts the same slogan for them?

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Stand your ground? Anyway, the differences between the brothers, Isaac and Ishmael, are minimal.
