They don’t bat an eyelid when you accuse Israel of being an Apartheid-state - it’s like water flowing off a duck’s back. Call Israel a kapo state, however, and they lose their shit. That they can’t ignore.

There is no “left” in formal, establishment politics - none. Formal establishment politics is fundamentally right-wing - therefore, blaming the actions of political establishments on any left is inane.

I recently came back to Lemmy from reddit to escape the batshit pro-Israel censorship happening on there right now and I have to say that the quality of the content and discussion has just gone up.

When it comes to war, the two parties are always in agreement.

And that’s the left’s fault how?

You lost me at “Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine.” You can just call it what it is… an invasion.

And if you think “the left” in the US is so powerful that it could have made any kind of dent in the narratives surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine I have to call bullshit.

And your insult of me is transphobic and ableist, you bigot.

Not proud of being a white supremacist, eh? Now why do you imagine that would be?

In other words, these laws are not “fighting pedophilia”. They are enabling child abuse.

So no different than all these laws that (supposedly) “stop sex trafficking” which only exist to clamp down on sex work while… drumroll… making absolutely no dent in actual sex trafficking?

Yeah… that tracks.

So you admit this meme is simply straight up misinformation?

That’s strangely honest for a white supremacist.

Considering that western media is hysterically blaming Palestinians for Israeli atrocities now, I’d say it’s rather Israel’s (alleged) “plight” that’s getting the limelight - not Gaza.

How convenient… every time Israel indiscriminately murders Palestinians, it’s just going to be blamed on Palestinians?

Riiiight… US intel “confirms.”

Have they found Saddam’s “Weapons Of Mass Destruction” yet?

eX-twitter

Some frag grenades and claymore mines would have probably helped, too.

Nobody is in the clear right and nobody is blameless.

No matter what anyone has done - it is Israel (and it’s western backers) that carries full responsibility for what occurs here. Period.

Way to avoid the question

I’m not avoiding the question - you are avoiding the entire reality of the situation. The colonized does not require your approval or oversight to wage war against colonizers.

devising a workable solution to the inherent complexities that exist between the two countries.

What complexities? Why are people all of a sudden pretending that western colonialism - and the resistance against it - is suddenly a “new” thing?

(the impetus for which I can only guess)

Again… there is no mystery here - Israel has always been a western-backed colonialist project. No ifs, ands or buts. Where is the mystery?

but escalation via killing uninvolved civilians

If we cared about “civilians,” wouldn’t we be concerned about colonialism in the first place? No? Then I guess we’re only concerned when said “civilians” belonging to the colonizer side start dying, eh?

Really? Tell that to all the “liberal” regimes that enabled fascists when said liberals couldn’t keep working-class revolt in check… Weimar Germany literally did that to crush the “Spartacist” revolt after WW1.

There’s a saying amongst leftists - you can’t have a harvest of fascism without liberals loosening the ground for it first. Fascism is not some “aberration” of the classical liberal nation state and it never was.

all have severe issues with fascism right now

It’s not an issue… fascism is a feature of classical liberal nation states - not a flaw.

super-duper-mega-unregulated-corporation-shareholder-moneymaker3000 type of ultra capitalism

Sooo… just bog-standard capitalism, then?

You’d be better off arguing a case of genocide instead.

You mean… that thing people who know better have been accusing Israel off since the very start?

If you think Gandhi was bad, you should look into Mother Theresa - the woman was literally a Disney cartoon villain.
