Rules:

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.

Bomb the manger on Christmas...

Is isreal really that oblivious to world opinion and how it might affect them? Seems that way...

[–] recursivesive 95 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They're not oblivious, they just don't care because they know there won't be any consequences. And those few who dare to say anything are "antisemite" for not supporting genocide.

They’re the narcissist grandma of international politics: hiding in plain sight, they can get away with anything and everyone else will make excuses for their bad behavior

Realistically, who is going to interfere? US and Russia are tied up in Ukraine, China and EU want to stay out, Modi's India supports Israel. World opinion could get much worse and nothing would happen, Yemen being the only exception so far.

The US isn't tied up, they actively support Israel with money and weapons. They have a aircraft carrier group parked just outside Israel to send a clear message that no other country can intervene or the US will protect israel. Biden even calls himself a Zionist.

Modi actively supported Trump and Trump policies. Look past his image and see the Indian Trump

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

He only supports Israel because he hates Muslims.

[–] smokingManhole 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Just a small correction: In the EU and the US we are happily supporting Israel.

Our political leaders do support Israel by and large, but literally no one I know is happy about that

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

why should they care???

[–] O_i 28 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Dude if this doesn’t set off the fucking Christian’s, I don’t know what would.

[–] Thrashy 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Brown Christians don't count. Wish I was joking.

The Christians in Bethlehem already cancelled Christmas and put baby Jesus in a burial shroud as a protest...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

They(the ones who liked crusades and auch) probably want Bethlehem taken back from the "heathens" and returned properly to "gods chosen people" or something.

Palestine doesn't have many Christians but imagine being one of them and having your family killed for Christmas.
