The offense is not at the message, it's that they were targeted to have it delivered.

This is a genocide being committed right now and you want me to debate you about a message a group of people who eat traditionally Jewish food and may be Israeli, and giving these folks a message saying free Palestine is somehow offensive because they were targeted as potential Israeli citizens who can vote the terrorist Netanyahu out of office?

What are you talking about?

Idk sounds pretty racist to give a guy ordering kungpao chicken a "Free Uyghurs" note.

I guess I disagree.

I wouldn’t give people notes like this I don’t think. But I don’t think it is racist. Supporting Israel is more racist than this.

Okay.

Guess I should start vocally denouncing the CCP and their Uyghur genocide before I get myself a Malatang.

Or just stop trying to find excuses to support the terrorist genocidal Israelis. It’s not hard.

This person isn't supporting genocide, you're just acting like an asshole and then pretending that anyone who doesn't like it is is pro-Israel.

Either way Israeli government is fucked up I can still be an asshole, and Netanyahu and the Israeli government can be terrorists… this is not an either or

And anyone who supports them is worse than an asshole

boy you really are just terrible at reading huh

buddy you're doing that anyway. Conflating Israelis with Jews is wrong, yes. Targeting Jews to try and send a message to Israeli is wrong, yes. I know you feel like anything you like is justified since you believe in The Right Thing, but doing bad things for a good reason is still bad.

and giving these folks a message saying free Palestine is somehow because they were targeted as potential Israeli citizens who can vote the terrorist Netanyahu out of office?

oh wow you're incoherent with indignation, what a surprise. Why are you wasting time? There's a genocide RIGHT NOW

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I guess I don’t care if they are offended?

Or if you are offended?

Because there is a genocide happening, being committed by the Israeli government.

You're so brave
