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.

If supporting genocide is what it takes to not be an enemy of Israel, then yeah - I guess this Jew is an enemy of the Jewish state. 🙄 Gotta say, I'm not offended. I'd much rather be an enemy of genocide.

Then you get painted as the stereotypical “self-loathing Jew”. Israel is bravely fighting antisemitism worldwide… by engaging in self-serving antisemitism.

[–] alquicksilver 25 points 1 year ago

Yep, exactly. Those of us who prove their talking point of "Israel represents all Jews" wrong are inconvenient for them.

In various interviews, Yossian has said "there are no innocents in Gaza," not even women or children, and that the Israeli army should have killed 50,000 Gazans in its opening attack "with the aim of revenge, zero morality, maximum corpses."

Well this checks out, it’s what is being taught at military academies - jump to 9:05 if you don’t want to watch the whole thing, but it’s worth a watch, it’s only ten minutes.

Don't do my boy Megamind dirty like that, he'd never say such villainous things!

"Iranian-born Eliyahu Yossian, a virtual unknown until the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, has in recent months become a mainstay on Channel 14 – a right-wing pro-Netanyahu Israeli television station often likened to Fox News.(...)

Speaking during a news debate on Channel 14 last October, he commented: "I don't believe in liberal values. I loathe liberal values. I utterly reject them. Now, you say that we're liberals. That 'we' – I'm not part of it. There is no cultural affinity between you and me."

He doesn't like liberal values, he prefers xtreme right.

He’s forgetting that the few liberal values
Israel has is the only reason why he is even able to live freely in Israel. Once the right wing Israeli extremists have taken full control of the country they will turn migrants like him into second class citizens no matter if they are Jewish.

being labeled the enemy of a fascist state is a badge of honor

I mean, Israel is doing a full on hitler genocide, and the GOP loves to suck authoritarian dictator dick, so, yeah, I guess you could say I’m against those things, and that by association, conservatives are pro genocide.
