Being against genocide is pretty controversial these days...

[–] KeavesSharpi@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So... Never Again™ actually means only the Jews. Got it.

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 week ago

Never Again is a phrase popularised by zionist terrorist Kahane in the 70s, the original phrasing used by holocaust survivors was never forget

So now the message is to be scared to stand up for what is right?

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

Always has been.

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What the hell? So “Never Again” doesn’t actually mean “Never again” anymore?

What the fuck is wrong with everyone these days?

[–] hackerwacker@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

It never did mean that though.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 week ago

“Never again” can’t mean never again for Palestinians.

So their new slogan gonna be “ok, maybe just this one more time…for now.”

It’s different when we do it

The language in this is almost hilarious in just how hard they're trying to throw someone under the bus. This was something they thought of, and pre-planned what, before the genocide? And then they have taken actions internally and fired so-and-so for it because it was all their fault!? Gosh, what a pickle!

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

Yeah, and it's bullshit that they did. Cowards

  • Never again under my discretion only

I don't get it, what was the message sent by the first post?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It seemed to acknowledge that peoples other than Jews can also be victims of genocide.

This is considered controversial because Israel, which attempts to position itself as representing Jewish interests, is perpetrating a genocide on non-Jews as we speak. They deny that they are committing genocide.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well but if they deny they're committing genocide then they still can be against genocide right?

This is a rhetorical statement btw
[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I agree with your rhetorical statement, but I think I'm missing some implication.

It's a true statement, I just don't understand what you're pointing out.

Rhetorical because they're fucking hypocrites who believe that killing Palestinians is the right thing to do so they get to do whatever they want.

ohh, that makes more sense. I thought it meant never again but just for the Jews, otherwise it's okay. Actually my take seems more accurate currently

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

It's a variant of

Never Again Means Never Again For Anyone

Which is used these days to protest the Holocaust perpetrators supporting Israel.

It was too woke for them. It features People of Color.
