Scottish rock group Primal Scream superimposed swastikas combined with Stars of David over the eyes of Netanyahu & former Israeli defense minister Gallant, as well as other global politicians, in on-stage graphics during a Monday night concert, leading a Jewish security group to file a police complaint.

They were playing at the historic Roundhouse venue in north London & performed their 2000 single “Swastika Eyes.”

this is how I discover music I like.

Nazis have perverted the Swastika- once a religious symbol of peace, now it represents violence, injustice, and the worst of humanity.

Zionists have perverted the Star of David- once a religious symbol of peace, now it represents violence, injustice, and the worst of humanity.

Combining the two is perversely beautiful.

I hate that as a Jew, all Jewish iconography is now drenched in blood.

[-] stray@pawb.social 3 points 14 hours ago

Kinda weird how this keeps happening with Hindu-Buddhist imagery, especially given the whole rebirth thing.

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

Oh wow. Now THATS a clever design.

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

that's the raelian original flag. a really strange UFO cult.

lots of drugs where involved when they made their flag. as they are pacifist.

compared with other cults of the time they seem harmless and are openly pro Palestine and against zionism.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

I support giving Netanyahu swastika eyes but I do agree that adding the star of David to the design conflates Judaism with Netanyahu's genocidal Zionism. Not all Jews support Zionism or Israel's genocide. It's a regrettable choice and it's now all the predictable media will focus on.

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

as much as I agree with you. it isn't the artist who made that who put Jewish imagery in there.

it was the state of Israel who did.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 13 hours ago

100%. Netenyahu and the state of Israel's actions and harming and endangering the Jewish people around the world much more than anything else right now.

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

tbf, it did begin and a century before Netanyahu.

let's not forget all the zionists who are responsible. it isn't just Netanyahu.

give him a sudden heart attack and without Netanyahu Israel, apartheid and its genocide would be basically the same.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

Maybe you should ask Israel to remove the star of david from it's flag instead

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

They really should

[-] Catalyst_A@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 day ago

Israel made the star of David a hate symbol. Flat out. The rest of the Jews can make a new logo.

[-] Dreamer@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Zionism is literally Jewish Supremacy.

80% of Jews in the US support Israel/Zionism in some shape way or form. Idk about the rest of the West nor the rest of the world, but the majority of Jews live in the West.

If non-Zionist Jewish people want to claim back their precious symbol, they can start by utilizing it in meaningful action against Israel, Zionists, and their allies. Until then, those that cry about this conflation can go fuck themselves.

[-] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Zionism is why i no longer wear a star of david and instead wear a hamsa

If being pro Ukraine is part of anti-war-ism, that means supporting capitalist homophobic nazi-infested Russia is pro-war-ism.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I see you're kind hearted in the sense that you don't like war (assuming you're anti Zionist) but are lib and haven't read enough political theory to fully understand the root cause of it (NATO eastward expansion and western imperialism)

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

If Russia just treated Ukraine proper, and not steal Crimea like they did.

Then, Ukraine would become good allies if actually treated well.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Crazy that they did just that. I'm sure there's no context

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

The context is probably oil, sea control, so on. They know they are on the edge when it comes to global dominance, and that it was their last chance to defeat NATO, so they resorted to realpolitik. Does not mean we should be for conquering a free and innocent country like Ukraine.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 2 points 57 minutes ago

Does not mean we should be for conquering a free and innocent country like Ukraine.

Who said that we were? Analysis is not justification.

The root cause for Russia to resort to realpolitik is NATO Eastward expansion aka expanding the market for western weapons manufacturers and increasing the demand for weapons by provoking conflict

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 51 minutes ago

...there's our difference, I just don't buy that story, because I'm not team-codded. I'm pro-Palestine, anti-Ukraine.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 1 points 47 minutes ago* (last edited 47 minutes ago)

You don't buy the western imperialist story when they support a genocide in Palestine, but buy it when they support a banderist regime in Ukraine for them to privatize everything for western capital... Ok

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 5 points 7 hours ago

Ukraine wouldn't have so much western military aid if Russia didn't invade. Ukraine wouldn't want to be part of NATO so desperately if Russia didn't invade. I think it's Russia's fault NATO is expanding.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

What function did NATO serve after the dissolution of the UDSSR? How did Russia turn from foe (UDSSR) to friend (Russian Federation) to foe again? Which enemy did NATO after the dissolution of the UDSSR have in order to justify the defensive alliance? What role do you think the military industrial complex played in this?

These aren't rhetorical questions.

Sealioning is when you question someones understanding of a topic that they are very confident about

[-] Small_Quasar@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

You realise geopolitics isn't a sports game, right? You can be a critic of US imperialism and Russian imperialism.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago

You realise that the disagreement is in our definitions of imperialism, right?

Labeling Russia simply "imperialist" or "not imperialist" is inadequate. Russia is a revisionist, semi-peripheral power with imperialist tendencies and practices, particularly in its near abroad, but lacking the integrated monopoly-finance capitalist base that defines core imperialist powers like the US.

Russia is reacting to US imperialism.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago

Go smoke your bong. No matter what arguments you try to pull, the moment they actually invaded Ukraine, they became THE aggressors, and are in the wrong.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

They became the aggressor when you strip the context.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

They will still be sorrounded by NATO after conquering Ukraine, not an improvement really.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Why would they do it then?

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 1 points 56 minutes ago

The old man wants to feel like a powerful leader before he dies, and he doesn't care what happens afterwards

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 2 points 54 minutes ago

I dont subscribe to great man theory understanding of history

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 1 points 45 minutes ago

That's okay, I only want you to subscribe to great man theory of dictatorships. You can subscribe to a different theory for other kinds of government.

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 0 points 38 minutes ago* (last edited 35 minutes ago)

I subscribe to historical materialism. Seeing as you think history is driven by great man I understand why you thought the questions I gave you are sealioning in your eyes

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 56 minutes ago

I'm guessing a mixture of desperation, and trying to outlive the west (if they can just grab enough resources for their needs until the west collapses, they can deal with other issues later). Still, I can't support the invasion. If they could just stop being assholes, they would have more allies, people liked Putin, and he improved Russia's reputation before the Ukraine war (and they even somewhat overlooked the Crimea invasion).

[-] KimBongUn420@lemmy.ml 3 points 52 minutes ago

Still, I can’t support the invasion

No one does. War is an extension of diplomacy
