Thousands of Israeli nationalists took part in the controversial Jerusalem Day "Dance of the Flags".

The event is provocative to the Palestinian population, given it marks the anniversary of Israel seizing East Jerusalem and the Old City, and the group marches through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City.

Jerusalem's status is one of the most divisive issues in the discussion about a two-state solution, with both Israelis and Palestinians believing it is intrinsically linked to their identity.

So... It seems apparent the what Israeli Gov't Jews learnt from the Holocaust is:

"Do unto Muslims as has been done unto you."

But, of course, deny you're doing it during the entire time you're doing it. No one will hold you to account without a full-out global world war.

Methinks Israeli Gov't Jews learnt the wrong lesson from German Gov't Nazis. It wasn't meant as a "howto".

🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🖕

Never again, I presume was do unto others before they do unto you.

1930’s and 1940’s Germany called, they said keep up the good work

Never forget the Nazi Party's regime of eradicating all minorities was inspired by the Europeans performing genocide on the indigenous people of what is now America. Of course, this is not exactly similar. The Israelites and Arabs have been quarreling ever since they existed. Over their fucking "holy land". Honestly it's like dragon sickness. Jews + Jerusalem = death and hostility to others.

The Israelites and Arabs have been quarreling ever since they existed.

Yeah... no. The Muslim world was the most tolerant place of Jews in the world (well, the part of the world where Jews existed, anyway) until the 20th century. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows don't get me wrong, but there was no "quarreling" between Muslims and Jews. In fact, it was Muslims who allowed Jews back into their holy land after the Romans had kicked them out.

Dawg it was called the Crusades because it was exclueivley Christian nations fighting with Muslim nations over Jerusalem. Jews were essentially bystanders who often opted for the Islamic empire where they were allowed to live and not be constantly slaughtered by their Christian empire counterparts.

Israel as a functioning idea was introduced by the zionist movement of the 20th century, which Orthodox jews still condemn to this day because they claim there should not be a Jewish state without their Messiah.

To add to even more irony, the modern successors to these empires being Britain and Turkey actually lost interest in control of the holy land because it didn't provide any substantial geopolitical power or resources. The Ottoman empire failed to protect it and lost the entirey of Trans Jordan in WWI, and Britain noped out right after WWII when they realized it could absolve them of having to provide for Jews in Europe.

Israeli society is absolutely sick, and we are all complicit in this genocide to one degree or another.

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 7 points 5 days ago

We're all at least a little complicit, but if you attend and help organise rallies, write to politicians, and vote left wing, you're less complicit than the people who do nothing.

Zionist: "That's antisemitism! Shun them!" hissss!

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 18 points 6 days ago

So if "Free Palestine!" is the new "Heil Hitler!" then what is "Death to Arabs!"?

[-] Guidy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Same thing. It’s almost as though both sides suck.

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 26 points 6 days ago

Wanting freedom is now the same level of evil as genocide? This is your brain on propaganda.

[-] iegod@lemm.ee 9 points 6 days ago

This is a colossally stupid take.

[-] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 3 points 6 days ago

Hmmmm. I'm sure you'd also say that slavery is freedom, ignorance is strength etc.?

Nobody has done more harm to the Jewish image in the past 80 years than Israel. I think religion is a joke anyway, but I certainly have no respect for the Jewish religion as a whole.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 7 points 6 days ago

I’m with you on this part. Past that, let’s agree to disagree.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

I mean, it's still quite the elephant in the room that hasn't really been talked about.

Judaism is a restricted affair, you have to be born into it to be considered a part of the group that God has chosen to be saved. To them, almost everyone else is permanently non qualified, therefore they are not in the group. If you do want to convert, you have to jump through a bunch of hoops, and put up with a ritual of rejection until you're accepted. By definition it's an ethno-relegious group.

From that viewpoint, it's only a skip away from ethno-nationalism, which is what Zionism is.

Unlike Christianity and Islam which offer the ability to join, and actively convince you to join. (Also Hinduism, Buddhism, etc).

There are only about 15 million Jews compared to 2.6 billion Christian and 1.9 billion Muslims.

Food for thought.

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Non-Hebrews don't need to be saved. You don't need to go to Gan Eden or Sheol if you're not Jewish. You can just go to Valhalla or Hades or Yomi or Xibalba instead.

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 2 points 5 days ago

Cut out one more sentence from the end and I agree

[-] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Fucking disgusting people.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

Seems like Nazis and these guys have a lot in common.
