Ok it is now beyond the government only, now the population supports genocide.

Previously I only said 'Fuck Israel's government'.

But as of today I feel perfectly fine saying 'Fuck Israel'.

Fuck Israel with a red hot container ship.

Sideways.

While their humanity should be respected, there is nothing about Israeli civilian life that is sustainable in a post-genocide, anti-apartheid society.

We'd likely see most of the European/American Israelis "flee" if Israel-Palestine became a unitary state respecting the human rights and cultures of Palestinians and Israelis equally. Not because of some feigned "but from the river to see would mean killing the jews!!!" slander, but because the colonial population won't be getting special treatment anymore.

The exact same happened/is happening in South Africa where the final fringes of apartheid society are still being rooted out. Only recently were SA authorities cracking down on whites-only swimming pools.

There is no quelling this kind of division, it is literally millennia in the making.

This will become a world war and no one will benefit.

This isn't a millennia long conflict. It's 75 years of occupation by Europeans. The religious effects came after, and became a façade for the real root of the conflict.

It must be so much easier to go around in life with only the last century of history as meaningful. Sorry no this conflict is significantly older.

How much heat would it take to get an entire container ship to glow red hot?

[–] RizzRustbolt 3 points 11 months ago

1 megajoule per liter.

Fun fact: the Israeli population have always been genocidal. They are a horrible, horrible people that do not recognize anyone else as human. This has been going on for decades and has either been buried or deflected with the meaningless slander word "antisemitism".

[–] mods_are_assholes 0 points 11 months ago

This may be true but I didn't believe it till this disgusting day.

Calm down buddy .... if you're going to classify a race of people based on the opinion of one radical ...

That's called racism

Also you would probably hate Americans LOL

But yes ... hate crimes are hate crimes, and we can all agree that hate crimes are bad

They didn't say they wished Jewish people harm.
