Being against genocide is pretty controversial these days...

So... Never Again™ actually means only the Jews. Got it.

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago

Never Again is a phrase popularised by zionist terrorist Kahane in the 70s, the original phrasing used by holocaust survivors was never forget

[-] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 23 points 11 months ago

What the hell? So “Never Again” doesn’t actually mean “Never again” anymore?

What the fuck is wrong with everyone these days?

[-] hackerwacker@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

It never did mean that though.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 18 points 11 months ago

“Never again” can’t mean never again for Palestinians.

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 13 points 11 months ago

So their new slogan gonna be “ok, maybe just this one more time…for now.”

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago

It’s different when we do it

[-] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

The language in this is almost hilarious in just how hard they're trying to throw someone under the bus. This was something they thought of, and pre-planned what, before the genocide? And then they have taken actions internally and fired so-and-so for it because it was all their fault!? Gosh, what a pickle!

[-] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 11 months ago

Yeah, and it's bullshit that they did. Cowards

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

Never again under my discretion only

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

I don't get it, what was the message sent by the first post?

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 37 points 11 months ago

It seemed to acknowledge that peoples other than Jews can also be victims of genocide.

This is considered controversial because Israel, which attempts to position itself as representing Jewish interests, is perpetrating a genocide on non-Jews as we speak. They deny that they are committing genocide.

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

ohh, that makes more sense. I thought it meant never again but just for the Jews, otherwise it's okay. Actually my take seems more accurate currently

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

Well but if they deny they're committing genocide then they still can be against genocide right?

This is a rhetorical statement btw

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

I agree with your rhetorical statement, but I think I'm missing some implication.

It's a true statement, I just don't understand what you're pointing out.

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

Rhetorical because they're fucking hypocrites who believe that killing Palestinians is the right thing to do so they get to do whatever they want.

[-] marcela 8 points 11 months ago

It was too woke for them. It features People of Color.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

It's a variant of

Never Again Means Never Again For Anyone

Which is used these days to protest the Holocaust perpetrators supporting Israel.
