Terrorism on Israels part, in the truest definition of the word. Israel truly does not deserve to be recognized as a state, and western leaders should be on the floor of the hague in chains.

No one has sullied the memory of the holocaust more than Israel

[-] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 79 points 4 days ago

They're just trying to make sure everyone remembers with holocaust 2.0

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 14 points 4 days ago

Well I'm sure as hell not gonna forget, can they just stop already

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

You know the majority of Jews aren't Israeli right?

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

7.2 million out of 15.8 worldwide. Not a majority but the plurality. Another 6.8 in America, a country basically run by Israeli interests.

I'll give the benefit of the doubt here. But if you're at all "leftist" and attribute America to being run by "Israel" you should really understand who's framing you are repeating here.

America is not "run by Israeli interest". It is run by the interest of capital and for the interest of capital. American capitalist are absolutely the ones running, encouraging, and most of all enabling the actions of Israel. And they hide behind "creating a safe place for Jews" like we don't all understand it's just another madagascar plan.

Please don't fall for this "Israel runs America". Especially trying to attribute all Jewish Americans to supporting Israel.

Israel IS American interest. And that interest is for a white supremacists capitalist class. Using Antisemitism as a shield will only last for so long. These Nazi's are going to drop that real quick and start "sending Jews to Israel where they can be safe" before we know it.

And if it wasn't clear. The people that say America is "run by Israel" are Nazis. And the Nazi leaders running this country will quickly start singing that same song when they are done using antisemitism/Israel as reason to deport Muslims and anyone supporting Palestine.

Please don't let fascist fool you. The Israeli fascist do not care about Jews and neither do the American fascist. They both only care about creating their own fascist ethnostates.

I'm so fucking tired of our western politicians and media pretending that Israel isn't one of the nastiest and most evil state on this planet. Spineless fucking cowards the lot of them.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 31 points 3 days ago

You see atrocities, usa govt sees free military bases near lots of oil reserves

Israeli Gaza Strike

Israeli Gaza bombing

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 202 points 4 days ago

But don't anyone say that Israel is doing anything bad, or you'll be deported to a concentration camp for your antisemitic terrorism, without trial.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 174 points 4 days ago

Wow... just wow...

It's heartbreaking and enraging.

We're essentially at the point where the Israeli government could justify the Holocaust as long as the Nazis said "Hamas officers hiding among them" before killing people. The genocide is not only cruel but a callous waste of life, hope and talent.

Now even more people will want to watch the film.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

Her family home was specifically targeted so yeah. Israel wants to send a message that they will kill your entire family for reporting on their genocide.

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I’m pretty sure they weren’t accidentally murdered.

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

when you intentionally murder everyone, they will argue that they didn't specifically target anyone, because they don't care about the specific people they are killing.

[-] Yermaw@lemm.ee 60 points 3 days ago

Can we cool it with the atrocities for a bit?

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

That statement suggests anyone on here has some kind of power to prevent it. If wishing/praying worked then it would have never happened.

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 13 points 3 days ago

There is measures everyone can take by speaking up, holding political representatives accountable, boycotting Israeli products or products by companies complicit in Israeli crimes, by demonstrating, by organizing and by educating ourselves.

As an individual we have little power. As a collective we have more than enough power, which is why it is crucial never to become defeatist.

[-] ArtemisimetrA@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

Yeah but it's a relatable sentiment, one I identify with personally as well. Maybe that can be the point

So what are Republicans and the Trump administration doing to stop Israel?

[-] DandomRude@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Absolutely nothing - on the contrary, they even supply the weapons with which these shameful murders are committed.

And Trump and his band of criminals are not even alone in this - my home country, Germany, is also aiding and abetting these terrible war crimes.

I simply cannot understand how a country like Israel, which is actually completely irrelevant on the world stage, not only gets away with genocide, but is even supported by many of those countries that otherwise always play the moralizer.

The only way I can explain this is that the fascist regime in Israel is taking advantage of the fact that this country is a leader in surveillance and espionage technology. Other than by blackmailing foreign state representatives, I simply cannot explain why so many countries persist in supporting all these terrible atrocities - in democratic countries even against the will of the people and at the massive expense of votes.

I'm aware that this is conspiracy theory, but I simply can't explain it any other way because it is so incredibly absurd and shameful.

I mean, Bibi has long been the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Courts.

It is of course quite clear that no government official in the USA is interested in this, but the fact that European countries, which recognize this intuition as binding, are also thinking about how Netanyahu could be invited as a state guest without having to arrest him immediately is simply telling. And then also supplying weapons to a war criminal?

How?

Quite a lot.

Trump us destroying the international standing of Israel's strongest ally, this should count for something.

So Trump is a real friend of Palestine, you should say thank you.

What about this is new? America has allowed Israel to do this for decades. I guess it helped you feel better deluding yourself that this is somehow Trump’s fault, and not the American agenda as a whole that has bipartisan support.

Who was president when Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered in cold blood?

Sycophantic partisanship. Great job.

They’re so scared of their image. Thats why I tarnish mine to stop this madness. Palestinians land was stolen. Israel is the rich entitled side and Palestine gets silenced and stripped of everything. It’s so sad they can’t just share.
