It’s 2025. Israeli soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre starving civilians trying to obtain food from aid centers. Countless doctors have been telling the world that Israeli snipers are routinely, deliberately shooting children in the head and chest throughout the Gaza Strip. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the leading genocide experts and human rights authorities are saying that a genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza. The New York fucking Times just published an op-ed by a Zionist genocide scholar who’s finally admitting that it’s a genocide.

There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities. It’s because you believe those horrific atrocities are good, and you want to see more of them.

The only government you should support are those that go directly against the genocide such as Yemen, Iran, Hezbollah.

Can we simply agree that there's no good government out there? You don't have to support one of them, support the people.

Go ahead and point out any government in the world that is up to good and doesn't treat its people like shit, also explain why supporting the people over a government is bullshit.

We are in a thread about a genocide, you should try to be more serious.

Says the person with the deeply facetious ideology

[–] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz -1 points 1 week ago

Do you consider arguing we should not support the governments of Iran or Yemen "deeply facetious ideology"? I'm not sure what it means but to me it sound like you are on some deeply facetious ideology yourself.
