The background is Blue.

The words are MAGA.

I wonder if there is a term for this.

I just wrote a book that says that Chuck Schumer's house is on my ancestral homeland, because my deity says so. That makes it Chuck's fault when I drop bombs on it.

[-] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 58 points 4 months ago

Does it have to be written in a book to qualify? I'm pretty sure there are several Native American tribes that might have something to say about this.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 20 points 4 months ago

I'm sure it has to be written in a book for Chuck Schumer to think it qualifies.

I recently did some wiki digging into the formation of Israel and it legitimately surprised me how illegitimate the country is. They were given land (not a state) and welcomed by Palestinians, then they flipped their shit over time and took everything. They were not oppressed but radicalized over imaginary oppression and used it as a tool to oppress Palestine.

The whole world is complicit or gaslit into buying this garbage. Insane that the two state solution is seen as compromise to Palestinians when it should be considered the only compromise given to Israel.

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago

This prompted me to do a wiki dig. TIL Israel was founded by an actual Jewish Nazi group and they even named a military ribbon after them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_%28militant_group%29?wprov=sfla1

In April 1948, Lehi and the Irgun were jointly responsible for the massacre in Deir Yassin of at least 107 Palestinian Arab villagers, including women and children. Lehi assassinated Lord Moyne, British Minister Resident in the Middle East, and made many other attacks on the British in Palestine. On 29 May 1948, the government of Israel, having inducted its activist members into the Israel Defense Forces, formally disbanded Lehi, though some of its members carried out one more terrorist act, the assassination of Folke Bernadotte some months later, an act condemned by Bernadotte's replacement as mediator, Ralph Bunche. After the assassination, the new Israeli government declared Lehi a terrorist organization, arresting some 200 members and convicting some of the leaders. Just before the first Israeli elections in January 1949, a general amnesty to Lehi members was granted by the government. In 1980, Israel instituted a military decoration, an "award for activity in the struggle for the establishment of Israel", the Lehi ribbon. Former Lehi leader Yitzhak Shamir became Prime Minister of Israel in 1983.

Dug up something called Banner of the Zionist Gang so I googled it and these are the first two images.

On the left is standard Soviet propaganda, racism included, and on the right is the symbol of the actual Jewish Nazi gang being sold on fucking Amazon

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

When I started to learn about it i thought it was the first account I had heard of documenting precisely why a country should never allow unchecked immigration... -Not that the palestinians were given much of a choice by their british colonizers.

Look at what he stands for.

Look at what he caves on.

Genocide is centrism's only actual policy.

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 months ago

Even if you take what he says at face value, his conclusion still doesn't even follow logically.

[-] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 54 points 4 months ago

Same logic evangelical Christians use to oppress LGBTQ folks here at home, Chuck. But you knew that, which is why you don't care about that either, beyond your performative outrage to get votes.

These crusty old dirt worshipers need to go. Every last one of them.

[-] Back_it_up@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

so... third party this time?!?!

And if I say your book is blasphemy? Jesus, no pun intended, these religious weirdos just can't take the hint that maybe their religious texts are total BS. They truly don't believe in religious freedom.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 29 points 4 months ago

The worst part, there’s no speaking sense to them. Their views are unimpugnable, as god himself wrought them. No earthly authority can alter their course

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

Fascists are always assholes first. The fascism only serves to rationalize the behaviour.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 44 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

So if I find an older book that says Israel belongs to me and only me they have to leave and I can turn the Wailing Wall into a sick half pipe?

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months ago

Well I found an older book that says their copper ingots are of insufficient quality.

[-] Aedis@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago
[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

Always remember, the Palestinians have been there longer than the Hebrews.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

There’s whole sections of the Torah that gleefully recount the Hebrew invasion and destruction of cities.

They make children sing the glories of the Battle of Jericho in Sunday school. A battle that ended with the deaths of everyone in the city.

Schumer is really letting the mask slip lately. Time for him to go.

[-] shawn1122@lemm.ee 36 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If this chucklefuck showed up to your door and said that your home is now part of the Jewish state because the Torah said so, I think we know how most people would respond.

Religion is a monstrous evil.

[-] bishbosh@lemm.ee 23 points 4 months ago

Settler colonialism is the evil, religion is the excuse.

[-] yeahiknow3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Being in a cult isn’t evil?

[-] bishbosh@lemm.ee 19 points 4 months ago

Lol someone's pissy.

I know your position, and share much of it. But I've also grown enough to learn that religions exist in many forms, many are cults and evil, but blaming the issues in Palestine on religion is a childish diversion. They were choosing between that and fucking Argentina when deciding where to found Israel and felt it more important to have a foothold in the middle east.

Religion was the excuse.

There's a mid term for this

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

So if I write a book that says Chuck Schumer has to be my bitch, he has to do it?

It’s in a book after all

[-] Don_alForno@feddit.org 9 points 4 months ago

You also have to tell him that GOD actually wrote it.

This man has a mental illness.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

I wish people wouldn't call moral failure a mental illness.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago

Those aren't mutually exclusive.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Of course not, but blaming moral failure on mental illness exonerates the moral failure while further demonizing the mentally ill.

Is Schumer's district mostly Jews? That fucker needs to go. I hope there are sane people in his district with an open mind.

[-] cooperativesrock@lemm.ee 13 points 4 months ago

Jews are very divided on Israel in general and heartbreakingly on whether or not it's cool to genocide. Chuck is in the genocide is cool as long as it's not against Jewish people camp, many of us stand firm on our no genocide no matter what. He's also a senator so represents all living in NY state, so short answer is no.

"That thing we wrote says the land is ours, so of course it is. Why don't these filthy savages believe in that thing we wrote?"

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 19 points 4 months ago

The term is "fucking traitor that needs to be censured and primaries". Get this MAGAt wannabe out of office, but first get him out of any democratic positions/appointments.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Wow, I knew things were bad but I didn’t realize it was this bad.

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 12 points 4 months ago

Ah yes another but the bronze age man said so moment

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

This is from the 2018 AIPAC conference. There's some critical commentary on this page:

[-] recentSloth43@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

But my book says it's our land. So we should put our book and their book in a ring to fight it out. The winner takes the land. This is the only logical solution to this problem.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

Oh look, another day, another reason to blow this asshole out the goddamn airlock. I cannot wait to see someone primary this jerk.

[-] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Oh, so they're pulling that. Well, they lost that privilege when God withdrew his support 2,600 years ago, roughly.
