Since when did war crimes count as just means?

What a weird way to refer to your country. "The one and only Jewish state" thats like saying "the one and only American state" or "the one and only French state"

"civilization" vs "barbarians"

Typical speech for those trying to justify genocide.

Where's Boudica when you need her.

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 58 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not a Jewish state, a Zionist state. A Jewish state would follow the Mosaic Covenant. They wouldn't covet their neighbor's property (Palestinian's land) They wouldn't kill (genocide). They wouldn't take the name of God in vein by attributing their horrible actions to their god. They wouldn't steal the land and houses from people. They wouldn't bear false witness against their neighbor by calling Palestinians terrorists for simply not giving up when their land is being stolen. A Jewish state might not be that bad, a Zionist state, on the other hand, is a fascist state. #Gaza #Genocide #Fascism #Netanyahu #Zionism #FreePalestine

Jews never agree on anything unanimously. We joke in Judaism that every small town has at least two synagogues, because of this

But as States go, you only have one full of Zionist assholes. Because the Jews in the other side are the ones that dont think there is a place for genocide, settler colonialism, and ethno-States

For this reason, there cannot be a Jewish State.

Well, I was on the fence about Carney, now I see he won't be totally awful for the country.

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 44 points 4 days ago

At least he answers questions comprehensively.

Ha, "civilization". So that's what they're calling genocide today. Netanyahu needs to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 45 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Isn't that the standard line when it comes to people settling land with pre-existing tenants?

This is the same rhetoric that was used in Canada's genocide of indigenous peoples.

Part of reconciliation is denouncing what happened in Canada, which is still being felt today, and working towards reparations that are led by Indigenous peoples. We must learn from what happened and do better. But it is all in vain if we support the same atrocities being committed in other parts of the world.

Stacks of dead innocent people and he thinks the other guys are the barbarians. Irresponsible statement?! HAHAHA. Get fucked you murderous piece of shit! There is no justification for what you are doing. And who cares about your one and only state. You don't deserve it.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 61 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Imagine the lack of self-reflection to call someone a barbarian while committing genocide to steal more land from Palestine. I can't apprehend the confusion of thought necessary to think this way without starting with some blunt force trauma to the noggin.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There's no self-reflection at all.

To him, he's not committing "genocide", he's "protecting his people from terrorists".

I hate Hamas but the way Israel is dealing with this is horrible.

It doesn’t have to black and white or antisemitic to say that.

And yes, Hamas is playing an asymmetrical game and using the rules of engagement as a shield, but that’s still not an excuse for leveling entire cities and indiscriminately killing civilians, or blocking aid that you could instead be supervising.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 days ago

The main thing is that Isreal intentionally blocked and prevented critical aid from reaching a starving population of civilians. Thats the core of the genocide case because it demonstrates motive and intentionality to hurt only the civilian population. The report that revealed this was what flipped my opinion from supporting isreals response and war objectives.

People call bombing buildings and killing civilians genocide but its an expected part of this type of war. If the enemy hides among the civilian population you can kill the civilian population. If the enemy hides in buildings and booby traps them, you can destroy the buildings.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 79 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Bibi is a fascist authoritarian, a war criminal, and is so corrupt he's facing jail when he leaves office. He is no better than Hamas.

Zionism is literally religious nationalism β€” which shouldn't be tolerated by ANY religion β€” therefore Israel IS a fascist state. Society needs to stop acting like it's okay for the abused to become the abuser because they were abused. It was never okay, and it still isn't.

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 21 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

He is never leaving office. In the very unlikely event that the Israeli people start to turn on him I am like 90% sure he will try to pull off a coup and/or a false flag op rather than leave peacefully and face the music

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

that's why he needs this war to keep going and the genocide to continue

They're not, for the most part. This is Israeli propaganda that really took hold, but there was never any evidence for the human shields stuff.

[–] polyploy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 4 days ago

Yep it's actually Israel that has routinely and systematically employed captured Palestinians as human shields. For some background, there is this recent article in Haaretz stemming from anonymous IDF soldier reports, titled "In Gaza, Almost Every IDF Platoon Keeps a Human Shield, a Sub-army of Palestinian Slaves".

It boggles my mind every day that a fucking Jew would commit genocide. Goddamn.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

There's assholes everywhere. A religion, ethnicity, origin, gender, sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.

An asshole is gonna be an asshole.

Conservatives are literally all the same.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Why? The Jews of Israel and the Jews of the Holocaust are in large part wildly unrelated and for the most part camp survivors spoke out against Israel rather coming out for it.

It's very effective propaganda on their part because most people can't be bothered to learn facts.

Shit did Carney criticize Israel? He gonna get 90%in my riding anyway, but I might change from bloc to liberal if it's a proper critic.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Sort of, but he mostly walked it back. Hard to tell if he's doing it to get through the election. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-clarifies-genocide-remarks-1.7506027

I swear the nation of israel is trying to go down with the ship that is the trump administration.

No nation, or organization should be able to get away with murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians just because they want their land.
