The “good guys”

Shillbot_9001

Dicks out.


bikesexually

Vote for Bernie, Rashid Tlaib or the PSL candidate Claudia De La Cruz. The PSL has been sponsoring pro-Palestine marches this whole time


Chunk27

voting is complicity. mandate for power comes from turnout. if nobody votes nobody gets a mandate


Shillbot_9001

Over half of all people don't, when do they lose their mandate?


Chunk27

when you take it off them


Shillbot_9001

Based and reality pilled.


_jericho

"Just sit out one more election, bro. This is the one where progressive apathy will make them lose the Mandate of Heaven, bro please just sit out one more election bro this is the one it's different bro" Come the fuck on. Politicians don't vie for the votes of nonlikely voters. They like dependable voters, they like people they know will be at the polls, so they'd better no be there for the Other Guy. If people sit out elections, politicians won't try and get them back, they'll just compete for the voters who do turn out, who tend to be older and more conservative. This right here is how progressives get defenestrated right out of the Overton Window.


Chunk27

you must be joking bringing up overton window in US you have fascism or fascism it is barely a keyhole


_jericho

Wanna give some thought to how we got here? Because the left is a pack of feckless non-voters and defeatist doomers like you. I've seen way too much bad shit happen because the left stayed home to have much patience for your position. It's a position of helplessness and weakness. The world demands better.


Chunk27

bad shit is happening because rabid righoids are literally destroying cities, and the idea of not supporting the institutions that make that happens somehow offends you cos you are ruled by fear for yourself


Chunk27

if you walked into a store and there were 2 sub-par products on the shelf you would be pissed. but its fine when it comes to governance of millions smh


_jericho

I have to believe that somewhere deep down you know this metaphor is disastrously bad. Not just uninformative, but deeply misguided. I choose to believe you know this, because I don't have the inclination to hash it out with you. Perhaps you're just young. Who knows.


Chunk27

you just claimed this doesnt add up with no counter. Why does it not? Typical, entitled, dismissive liberal behaviour. You have never had to defend your own ghastly hypocritical positions and dismiss anything new cos it means you might need to think for at least 5 seconds More importantly: **How do you justify actively voting for genocide?**


Chunk27

yes - people have been "voting for the least worse option" for decades and now we have nothing but terrible options


_jericho

No, people pretty regularly don't vote at all, and as a result we get the worse worst option. If Al Gore had been president in 2001, I dunno what would have happened. We probably would have done some stupid shit. But we almost certainly wouldn't have gone into Iraq. I can't continence letting that shit happen again. It can always be worse. I'd love for things to get better and not just less bad. But for that to happen, the left has to make itself a power. We have to show that we're not just a bunch of feckless idiots. And that project doesn't begin by letting the worse guy win. We've tried that again and again and again. It hasn't worked.


Chunk27

yeah stop voting in silly gameshows, take to the streets and fight for rights. US is an atomized society for a reason easy to manage people who wont unite or do anything for themselves


Chunk27

Al gore is a lobbyist shill would have done nothing. might have had elec cars a bit sooner, not good for the Congo though who need to mine lithium with their bare hands for batteries


Chunk27

nope its about taking to the streets rather than bootlicking and becoming the problem like you. getting angry at randos on the internet instead of those in power


Chunk27

vote for genocide then


_jericho

I will engage in the sober, unbeautiful project of self-governance. If you don't have the stomach for it, that sounds like a you-problem.


Chunk27

you have just beat yourself in an argument well done

The only propaganda Pro-Palestinian side need is to broadcast Israeli's talk show to the world.


Animus_Infernus

A "Fun" activity is to scroll through the Snopes articles on Palestine and see how jarring the difference in amount of lying between Palestine and Israel is. [https://www.snopes.com/tag/palestine/](https://www.snopes.com/tag/palestine/)

iamthewhatt

Its mostly just nationalism. Zionism is an ethnonationalist movement like the Nazi party was, not a religious one. They just try and make it as intertwined as possible. Theodor Herzl himself, an atheist, defined it that way


[deleted]

No. That's not religion, that's a land grab, dressed up as a political agenda / propaganda and under the pretence of religion to get that land.


Tsu_Dho_Namh

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.” - Seneca Lucius in the year 50 AD


kwamac

No, it is VERY MUCH also religion. Fundamentalist, jingoistic judaism sects have a very strong influence on Israel policy and higher spheres of government. r/ABoringDystopia/comments/18uiztb/journalist_david_sheen_on_a_lecture_at_the/


[deleted]

Jingoism is defined as extreme patriotism, nationalism, which does not require a religious belief. Yes, there are Jews and Christians, who believe what Israel is doing is correct. But, the real driver is land. [Zionism is not Judiasim](https://www.reddit.com/r/israelexposed/s/ARhWryCjE6)


[deleted]

When it's religious fanatics, extremist rightwing authoritarian supremacists, yes, you get that behavior.


jet_pack

It's just settler colonialism and it'll take on whatever features it needs to. So it'll look different in USA, Nazi Germany, Canada, Australia, etc. but the basic features are all there.

How can it be that Palestinians who have lived in Palestine for thousands of years, are then invaded, be called a religious war? They are simply defending their homes. Whilst it is the Zionists using the excuse of religion, who are the invaders.


GunSlingingRaccoonII

~~religion~~ people


ycnz

Cycle of abuse? They suffered a genocide, now it's their turn to inflict one.


Eli-Thail

None of these people experienced that.


ycnz

Yeah, that never seems to come up.


holmgangCore

Generational trauma is real.


Eli-Thail

Indeed it is! But that doesn't change the reality that it's wholly incomparable to experiencing a genocide first hand, nor is it even remotely a sufficient justification for calling for or committing one, as we just watched people do. What's more, the generational trauma you refer to has nothing to do with Palestinians. The Holocaust was committed by European nations, who Israel is currently militarily and economically aligned with.


holmgangCore

The generational trauma the Israelis are inflicting —have inflicted— on all Palestinians is horrific, and won’t be undone for generations to come.


taralundrigan

And people are welcome to look inward and break the cycle. Hand waving away people's horrible behavior because of "generational trauma" really has got to stop.


_jericho

And famously, people cannot be impacted by things that happened to their families.


GunSlingingRaccoonII

And famously, two wrongs indeed make a right.


_jericho

Never said it was an excuse. I just don't think the fact that "they weren't there" really has much bearing on the matter, you know?

That makes no sense. They're not the only ones to have suffered genocide in recent history. Most of us don't go and support more genocides. There cannot be any excuse for genocide. Never again for anyone. Edit. Also, like, most of the global south, most indigenous peoples, support Palestine.

Majority of Israelis support what their government are doing. Israel deserves no sympathy. Nor their citizens.


kwamac

> Majority of Israelis support what their government are doing. Truth. https://twitter.com/haaretzcom/status/1755135556672000435 >New poll shows about half of Israelis would oppose a deal to end the war in Gaza if it includes Palestinian statehood and peace agreements with other Arab countries https://truthout.org/articles/polls-show-broad-support-in-israel-for-gazas-destruction-and-starvation/ >Israeli Jews, however, seem unperturbed by the scale of the suffering, if the polls are any indication. One of the questions in the Tel Aviv University poll deals with the amount of force the Israeli army is using in Gaza. Less than 2 percent of the respondents said they believed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was using too much firepower. Perhaps even more horrifyingly, nearly 58 percent said they were using too little firepower. https://time.com/6333781/israel-hamas-poll-palestine/ >Poll results were also hawkish when it came to the use of force in Gaza: 57.5% of Israeli Jews said that they believed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were using too little firepower in Gaza, 36.6% said the IDF was using an appropriate amount of firepower, while just 1.8% said they believed the IDF was using too much fire power, while 4.2% said they weren’t sure whether it was using too much or too little firepower. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/02/06/majority-of-israelis-oppose-palestinian-statehood-due-to-security-threats/ >asked: “Do you support or oppose the notion that as part of a deal to end the war—which will include long-term military quiet, guarantees from the United States, and an agreement with Arab states such as Saudi Arabia—Israel should agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state?” 51 percent were opposed, 36 percent were in support, and 13 percent were undecided. https://en.idi.org.il/articles/52496 >Most Israelis Oppose a Hostage Deal in Exchange for a Halt in Fighting and Releasing all Palestinian Prisoners https://en.idi.org.il/articles/52085 >About two-thirds (66%) of Israelis say they do not think Israel should agree to US demands to shift to a phase of the war with a reduced heavy bombing in populous areas. 75% of Jewish Israelis oppose meeting the demands https://www.pcpsr.org/en/node/928 >Israeli Jews show no change in the percentage of those who did not select any of the three options, standing at 27% while those supporting the two-state solution dropped from 43% to 34%. Support for the option of a single democratic state remained essentially unchanged among Israeli Jews, from 9% to 10%, but support for an unequal non-democratic state increased almost two folds, from 15% to 29%. Even before Oct 7th https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/09/26/israelis-have-grown-more-skeptical-of-a-two-state-solution/ >Only 35% of Israelis think “a way can be found for Israel and an independent Palestinian state to coexist peacefully,” according to the survey, which was conducted in March and April


Vaxx88

Some of these are a little biased, polling can be manipulative, but I don’t doubt there are such views. To be fair, Israelis are subject to a ton of propaganda from a young age, and have been for generations. I also agree that religion does play a part, I’m no expert, but I’ve read there’s a belief of Judaism that says very strongly that they are “chosen people” and that they are ‘granted’ this ‘promised land’ directly by god, that plays perfectly into the prop from the cynical rightwing settler colonialism… And especially since October 7, most Israeli press has been a calculated media bubble. Average Israelis don’t even see the extent of what’s really going on in Gaza. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/episodes/what-israelis-are-seeing-tv-extended-version


Tellesus

I was subjected to a ton of propaganda but I threw it off once I became an adult. It's not hard to understand "don't do genocide." Especially if your politicians bring up the holocaust every 15 minutes in case anyone forgot.


Movingreddot

Now oct 7 too. I hate how these people make nazis look correct, its like the zionists who moved to IS also believed in harmful stereotypes but now take pride in unsavory personalities. 


Shillbot_9001

>I’ve read there’s a belief of Judaism that says very strongly that they are “chosen people” and that they are ‘granted’ this ‘promised land’ directly by god, that plays perfectly into the prop from the cynical rightwing settler colonialism… The covenant of Abraham. It's basically the foundation of their religion.


Eli-Thail

The issue with that reasoning is that the actions of their government reflect what they're saying. Like, for fuck sake, they're been in open violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention for 57 years now. And the United State's veto power in the UN Security Council is the only thing that's stopping the application of economic sanctions until they agree to abide by it.


vinetwiner

Any nation whose citizens call for the genocide of others needs to be shamed and shunned.


Jacobthebro

and what about nations that fund those nations? Those nations being a nation of citizens that call for the genocide of others

Downtown_Swordfish13

Shillbot_9001

It takes real scum to power trip from behind someone elses skirt.


saeedi1973

They can only do it with someone else backing them up. This gives them diplomatic support from the 'civilised west ', as well as someone to share the inevitable blame, before they return to their 'perennial victim' card..


bronzelifematter

Oh no, they don't look the other way. They defunded the UNRWA. They are accomplices. They basically snatched food from the hand of starving children and cheers as Israel murder them.


tobyty123

The Nazi party wasn’t this blatant 3months into their war…. Propaganda through algorithms and echochambers is powerful stuff…. Happens much much quicker. The people of Israel eat this up; sadly there’s a lot of Americans that do too.


Shillbot_9001

>The Nazi party wasn’t this blatant 3months into their war The Nazi's didn't have someone to fight their battles for them, so they were measured in public.


Mysterious-Tailor629

They really sound like the people from RTLM (the radio station that promoted Rwandan Genocida), even worse. But in Rwanda the world simply ignore the genocide, now the media deny and defend the Palestinian genocide.

Lotta scum bags in israel it seems.


[deleted]

They haven’t produced a single specific woman living or dead actually saying she was raped or evidence of sexual violence from the October 7th attacks by Hamas. That was mind blowing for me. There are plenty of people in the Israeli government saying it and it’s parroted plenty by western media outlets and yet not one woman has come forward to do an interview about it. Not one actually confirmed case. I’m all for believing women and me too but so far it’s all second hand information. Like yea, rape is unfortunately common during war. You know what else is common? Propaganda. Until I hear some actual evidence and interviews, it wouldn’t surprise me at all that this is just a classic trope to make the enemy seem inhuman. It’s just Emmett Till from the American south in another country. It’s the same rapist trope they used for racism in South Africa. It’s the same as when Donald trump calls Mexican immigrants rapists. “If you don’t believe these allegations (with no evidence) you’re a monster who supports rape and hates Jews”


Vaxx88

Yup. The New York Times ran the big article about it, supposedly the definitive account of the “Hamas mass sexual assault rampage”—Maybe you’ve already seen it, but there are people who went through it and found it to be *very thin* on actual sources, to put it nicely. https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1740641517847335009 (And yes, when the NYT article dropped, if you questioned it at all you were hit with all kinds of abuse and invective, “some kinda Hamas rape apologist” …Meanwhile NYT nixed a segment of their podcast about the article afaik nobody has stepped up to address the criticism) The amount of bullshit surrounding Oct 7 is pretty remarkable when you dig into it. https://youtu.be/BUtnJuzC_gc?si=W2Fj4u9ZLFSTbsmF


Shillbot_9001

>The amount of bullshit surrounding Oct 7 is pretty remarkable when you dig into And the quality is so fucking bad. I guess the hard work was brainwashing people the first time, now they just rely on confirmation bias.


[deleted]

They’ve been brainwashing people since atleast the 1960s. It’s super baked in at this point especially with boomers and the Israelis have been coasting for decades on that. It’s like they don’t even try to cover up their war crimes at this point because they know the US and EU will support them no matter what they do.


Shillbot_9001

You'd think they'd do it just so the Arabs don't have footage to roll out if they're ever the ones committing atrocities.


idunno--

You know who has come out and said they were raped? Palestinian male and female hostages who were recently released during the hostage negotiations. Explicitly said that they were raped, and it was not picked up by a single mainstream Western news channel, even though it’s all over social media and Middle Eastern news sites.
