It’s not the same, because Israel are systematic colonizers. IDF acts on behalf of Israel. Sure, not all Israelis have the same political opinions, but ultimately they are living in a country that is committed to genocide of Palestinians. Lots of countries hate the United States for extremely valid reasons and I do have sympathy and ultimately agree with their hatred of Americans, even though I am one.
Ah I see, honestly my interpretation still stands. Not every Palestinian who can’t sympathize with Israelis is Hamas. Hamas was an example given (because that’s what e.g. means), but based on what they said, they’re referring to any Palestinian who lacks sympathy. They didn’t say only Hamas. And this poster is conflating those two separate but overlapping groups of people, which is also fucked up.
It makes sense to support the Arabs who got displaced …if you’re a member of one of those groups
If you’re a Palestinian
if you’re a member of one of those groups and can’t sympathize with the other (eg … IDF)
If you’re a Palestinian who can’t sympathize with the IDF
…then you should get no sympathy at all.
If you’re a Palestinian who can’t sympathize with the IDF, then you should get no sympathy at all .
So, again, you’re saying you have no sympathy for Palestinians who dislike the IDF, who have been continuously murdering them and stealing their land?
So you’re saying you have no sympathy for Palestinians who dislike the IDF, who have been continuously murdering them and stealing their land? That is what you’re saying right?
Hm, I wonder why Palestinians wanted the settler-colonial state of Israel to not exist. Hm. Could it be that the state of Israel has been systematically invading and stealing Palestinian land? And that they’ve been quite vocal about their goals to do so?
Would you also denounce Native Americans for wanting the United States to not exist anymore? Were they wrong for their violent retaliations in the 1800s? After years of genocide, lies, and enslavement?
Your ideas are overly aggressive, even just leaving. Just change the topic or say “I’d rather not discuss this at work.”
lmao I thought for a second this was just your comment about the situation, not your advice on what to say
YUP it was really bad, and then half the country turned extra racist, the other half pretended racism was solved because we had a black president.
I am talking about national news … remember the Obama monkey dolls?
No … I was also around that age and remember all the monkey jokes about Obama. This guy just isn’t paying attention idk lol
An alternative would be pop culture recaps on YouTube lol, I’ve done that during busy months sometimes. I’ve never heard of kick so maybe I’m not as caught up as I thought
Congrats on being racist!
Honestly just keeping up with whatever social media is popular with young people is the best way to stay in touch with new music and pop culture.
Nah, tired advice. I was literally on a remote island for most of a year, and missed out on Harambe and clowns and whatever else happened that year. But if you have a real interest in pop culture you stay in tune. Most older people don’t stay on top of it because they don’t care to, which is fine it’s not for everyone.
It is essentially the same thing, but that is the cultural box that we’ve created where it’s normal to keep track of your lifespan. A Death Note style reminder has not been deemed socially acceptable.
It’s objectively weird in the sense that most people don’t do that.
there are definitely cringey liberal boomer memes, they’re all on Facebook.
So you feel alone because you want to make cringey boomer memes and send threatening emails to Churches? I’m confused.
There are militant left movements, but there are just fewer people who align themselves with those movements because Communism and Socialism were basically illegal to talk about for decades, and the conservative fascism is basically just our mainstream government ideology (D or R).
I have read that this is largely a myth based on a book from the 70s, and that while there are varying proportions of amino acids in different vegan protein sources, there is still enough of each so that you could easily get everything you need.
I read this in a book years ago that I don’t remember the name of, but found a source instantly
They don’t charge a cancellation fee?
My disdain for the United States is not a secret nor is it an ulterior motive. It’s just the logical extension of all the atrocities that have been and continue to be committed by the US as a colonizing force and as a world superpower.
I don’t oppose Israel’s genocide because I hate the US - I hate the US because it supports and inflicts genocide.
This isn’t ancient history, Israelis have been enacting and vocalizing a plan to colonize Palestine since the middle of the last century. The idea of Zionism was around before then, but that’s when it took place. There are still people alive who survived the Nakba. The colonialism is the situation right now.
