Pretty sure once you're killing hundreds per day it's reached stage 9. Stage 8, they've been at for decades now (occasional massacres for some, systematic semi-deadly oppression and isolation and exclusion for all with the threat of more at any time).

All of Palestine has been a ghetto since the wall went up in the 1990s.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

Given they're lying about casualty rates and killing reporters I'd say that's a easy ten.

[-] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 37 points 6 months ago

Damn. U.S. conservatives are at stage 6 or 7 with trans people.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

And this graphic is from the Holocaust Memorial Trust? Well, isn't that just exploding with irony?

[+] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee -54 points 6 months ago

Guess they bit off more than they could chew when they said all Jews must die and the state of Israel must be destroyed.

[-] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 29 points 6 months ago

So it's a justified genocide then?

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 6 months ago

Well, they’re justifying moving from stage 8 to stage 9 because the ghetto people fought back.

[-] livus@kbin.social 27 points 6 months ago

Yes those children and premature babies really bit off more than "they" could chew

[-] Cyv_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 6 months ago

Damn, good thing two wrongs make a right huh? What was that quote about an eye for an eye? Makes the whole world get a mild rash? I don't recall.

[-] filister@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Please remind me, weren't there a couple of Israeli politicians calling Palestinians human animals and asking to drop nuclear bombs on top of them.

Or weren't some far right looting trucks full of humanitarian aid for famine ridden Gaza.

I can definitely continue this list or you can do yourself a favour by reading some Wikipedia page on the subject, and while at it you can also check (pick a random non affiliated with Israel human rights organisation) think of Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

[-] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 months ago

Hm, I wonder why Palestinians wanted the settler-colonial state of Israel to not exist. Hm. Could it be that the state of Israel has been systematically invading and stealing Palestinian land? And that they've been quite vocal about their goals to do so?

Would you also denounce Native Americans for wanting the United States to not exist anymore? Were they wrong for their violent retaliations in the 1800s? After years of genocide, lies, and enslavement?

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 6 months ago

It makes sense to support the Arabs who got displaced from their homes by Israeli settlers, as well as Jews who were forced out of theirs due to their religion and had nowhere else to go but Israel, but if you're a member of one of those groups and can't empathise with the other (eg Hamas, IDF and their supporters) then you should get no sympathy at all.

[-] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 6 months ago

So you're saying you have no sympathy for Palestinians who dislike the IDF, who have been continuously murdering them and stealing their land? That is what you're saying right?

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago

I'm saying I have no sympathy for Palestinians who can't sympathise with other people who were forced from their homes, or Israelis who can't do the same. They are free to dislike the IDF, but using them as an excuse to hate Jews and/or Israelis is no better than the people who hate all Palestinians and/or Arabs masking or justifying it with their hatred of Hamas.

[-] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago

It's not the same, because Israel are systematic colonizers. IDF acts on behalf of Israel. Sure, not all Israelis have the same political opinions, but ultimately they are living in a country that is committed to genocide of Palestinians. Lots of countries hate the United States for extremely valid reasons and I do have sympathy and ultimately agree with their hatred of Americans, even though I am one.

[-] azulavoir@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

No.

[-] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

It makes sense to support the Arabs who got displaced ...if you're a member of one of those groups

If you're a Palestinian

if you're a member of one of those groups and can't sympathize with the other (eg ... IDF)

If you're a Palestinian who can't sympathize with the IDF

...then you should get no sympathy at all.

If you're a Palestinian who can't sympathize with the IDF, then you should get no sympathy at all .

So, again, you're saying you have no sympathy for Palestinians who dislike the IDF, who have been continuously murdering them and stealing their land?

[-] azulavoir@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Disclaimer, I'm a third party to this argument.

As far as I can see that's a misunderstanding.

If you're a member of one of those groups [Palestinian, Israeli], who can't sympathize with the other [Israeli, Palestinian]... e.g. IDF (Israelis who can't sympathize with Palestinians), Hamas (Palestinians who can't sympathize with Israelis)

[-] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Ah I see, honestly my interpretation still stands. Not every Palestinian who can't sympathize with Israelis is Hamas. Hamas was an example given (because that's what e.g. means), but based on what they said, they're referring to any Palestinian who lacks sympathy. They didn't say only Hamas. And this poster is conflating those two separate but overlapping groups of people, which is also fucked up.

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

It's clear that Israel has bigger guns. Why would you even mention that? The question here is morality, not munitions.

By the way, how many of the dead actually wished for all Jews to die? Of course most of them didn't. Of course most of them just wanted to live their lives in peace. Sigh.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

We don't hate Jews, but we do hate Israel. The two things are in no way synonymous. There are non Zionist Jews, and there are non Jewish Israelis. Some Israelis are against what their state is doing too, regardless if they actually are Jewish or not.

Although for some reason some people in my country definitely hate both. I have spoken to a friend of mine yesterday who said he wanted the Jews gone. I don't think I should continue trusting that guy.
