  • See? This is the “with me or against me” rhetoric I was talking about in another post. I never said I want the destruction of Israel. I said that the only reasons why they are still being supported by the international community are those three points, being the most important the fact that the US supports them.

    If that drops, they will have a hard time looking for allies because right now, nobody can in good faith say that they agree with what Israel is doing in Gaza, and if someone was to attack them and the US doesn’t step in, I’m not sure anyone else will.

    That is not saying that I want the violent destruction of Israel, that is stating facts. You might not like them, but that’s how things are right now. Israel has no friends and that is entirely because of how they are behaving.


  • Oh, so the Nakba was all fine? Idk, I’m seeing here a second Nakba, but it might be my antisemitic brain… And with illegal occupation I mean all the occupation Israel has been doing for decades. We all have seen the maps of what was Palestine pre-nakba and what it is today. The only reasons why we are ok with what Israel is doing are:

    • United States support
    • Palestine being an Arab country (and we all know how the west hates Arabs in general)
    • Fear of being called antisemitic after what Nazis did.

    And tbf, right now I’m pretty sure the main reason is the first one. If that drops, I’m almost sure Israel is going to have a veeeeeeery tough time trying to find support in the international community to fend themselves against every enemy they have made.

    I’m pretty sure that if we’re not seeing more deaths it is because the international community would have trouble trying to justify it. But not because Netanyahu doesn’t want it.

    They abuse Palestinians in their jails, they kill children, they attack refugee camps… All because “Hamas was hiding there”. I’m sorry but no. There’s a limit to what you can do. And Israel is surpassing it by far. They are not only killing, they are razing cities, they are basically making Gaza uninhabitable and they are blocking humanitarian aid (when they’re not directly destroying it), so yeah, they are trying to starve people.

    The problem is that Jewish nationalism (aka Zionism) is what brought us here in the first place. So yes, I am against Zionism. I am ok with a two states solution but Israel doesn’t want that.

    And no, I won’t accept that the blame is only at Hamas for what they did in October, because that’s ignoring all the illegal occupation that Israel has been doing for several decades.

    You’re right, it’s more like a genocide. After all, they’re just bombing everything indiscriminately, starving people to death, blocking humanitarian aid and occupying illegally territories that don’t belong to them.

    Not to mention that they basically shot to kill everyone they find, be it an UN worker, a child or an US citizen protesting.

    But hey, god forbid we criticise what those bastards do, we wouldn’t like to be called antisemitic…

    Fuck Netanyahu, fuck his government and fuck everyone supporting what they are doing in Gaza.






  • The kid then turns 18, finds out and sues their parents for improper use of their image (among the things) and can you blame the kid?

    Some people are fucking stupid. Posting that kind of videos on the internet is low-key harassment. You’re making your kids miserable and they will have to fight a reputation that they did not create for themselves.

    That lack of accountability, imho, comes from capitalism dictating what democracy can do, and not the other way around. In other countries, democracy limits what capitalism can do, so it’s more or less subordinate to it.

    In the US, capitalism decides what democracy can do, so it’s actually democracy which is subordinated to capitalism.

    No. The problem is not just the university police, but how they deal with protests. First of all, a university having a police force is already crazy, but dealing with protesters with grenade launchers? Maybe America’s problem is not the protests but how they think they should deal with them, just saying.

    Because if you tell me that the police need to arm themselves that much because citizens can be armed too and they need to counter those weapons then the problem is still weapons.
