Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Just to be clear, this was an elderly Palestinian man cowering under a bed who came out with his hands up and was murdered by an Israeli soldier who brags about it after.

This is literally one of the steps to building a fascist state. Israel is speed running to a fascist theocracy.

Every time they start talking about it something like this happens and everyone there "rallys around the flag"

Israel has never not been a fascist state. Religion is humanity's oldest lash. Each of the abrahamic religions after Judaism is a heretical revolutionary cult against the political structures that each prior religion corrupted itself into.

A NYT letter to the editor signed by many prominent Jews, including Einstein, more or less blatantly called Tnaut Haherut Nazis.

Haherut is now Likud, and that letter was written in 1948.

From a comment in reference to this piece:

“In February 2014, the state of Israel held a memorial ceremony to mark the 20th anniversary of Begin’s death. The prime minister, then, as now, was Netanyahu.

“The newspaper Israel Hayom reported Netanyahu as saying: ‘[Begin] is a great role model for me, with his respect for democracy, courts of law and the media…… Israel and the Likud are inspired by the spirit of Menachim Begin.’”

Each of the abrahamic religions after Judaism

I'm no scholar, but aren't there only two and their various sects? Would have been shorter to just name them, unless it was to tie them to their Abrahamic roots and then I'm curious why you don't include Judaism.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You could argue it's all the same religion, different sects but the same exact God, just different names for it.

Or wasn't the exact same God who talked to Abraham in all of these religions?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

One could also argue that the god described in the New Testament is not the same as the (petty, jealous, hateful, genocidal) one in the OT.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

That's YOUR point of view. None of the major Christian sects think that afaik.

You can make a religion out of that!

I'm no scholar

I wasn't going for short, I was trying to communicate a specific idea. To answer your questions read the rest of what I said.

[–] isles 3 points 9 months ago

I did misread initially, thank you.

[–] feedum_sneedson 1 points 9 months ago

I think the actual lash might precede it, but how can we really know?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

Just what Trump and the GOP is doing with immigrants in America.
