It's antisemitic to make Israelis look bad by highlighting what they say to each other.

You are only allowed to hear official, sanitised responses from English speaking israelis.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Automatic translation of Knesset member’s and regular Israeli’s tweets has been radically eye opening for me. Kinda hard to hold the view of ‘well, Bibi is a monster but he’s the main one pushing this bloodshed’ when you can factcheck genocidal statements in real time, and see the actions try to meet their rhetoric

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The worst part about it is that, once you know this, every interaction you have with people saying "bibi is a monster" shows you just how bad faith almost everyone involved in the discourse is. After two years of flattening gaza to raucous cheers, unprecedented land grabs in the west bank, and an unprovoked war against iran you'd think people would have looked into a single government official beyond the prime minister to inform their analysis of Israel's motivations, but no.

It's just another empty platitude people can walk out as justification for sitting on their hands while unlimited war crimes play out, day after day, commited by thousands of individuals from the top of the government down to iof privates. No critical thought necessary. Same as the liberals blaming trump as the sole cause of America's issues. It demonstrates either a lack of awareness or an unwillingness to engage with the larger systemic issues for the sake of avoiding the premise.

I would say these people should be ignored but its more than half of the people in the discourse and like 99% of the people with any real power. Idk what to do about that.

I say the only thing to do is to get angry. Get so mad you go to your window and shout "I'M MAD! I'M MAD AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!'

Awh man what is this from? I want to say Monty python but I'm scared of losing 45 minutes trying to find it

Edit: I never would have guessed it

I was under the impression that the entire population of Israel have been brainwashed against Palestinians from birth for decades now.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How much of that was accessible before social media though? Unless you went looking, Israel generally was a pretty sanitized package on the media landscape, or was framed within the “well we were attacked first” narrative that contextually requires ignoring the prior grievances and violence

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

It's taught in school from what I heard.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I mean they sanewashed their army as the "most moral army" to the whole world until recently. Their population didn't stand a chance.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Agreed, I think if we translate more of these we are in for a bad time.

<Seattle goes up in smoke because foreigners don't understand the difference between Washington state and Washington DC>

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Foreigners know the difference. It's Americans who are dumb. I can't tell you how many Americans think New Mexico is not a state.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Pff, yeah right, and New Amsterdam isn't in Europe.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

I wish this wasn't true. My teen thought this for a few minutes and I had to correct her. I thought she was gaslighting me at first.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a tweet going around a little while ago about an American who didn't know that Rome was in Italy. Apparently there's a Rome in the US and she only knew about that one.

Do American schools teach their kids literally anything at all? How can you not know where Rome is.

I mean, you wouldn't be too far off. There's an Air Force base about 20-30 minutes from my house. I imagine it would be a military target if a war was ever waged stateside.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are several high-value sites in the state, and I-5 is an obvious target just generally. JBLM, Whidbey Island Station, Everett Naval, and major power infrastructure like Hanford or Grand Coulee.

I guarantee that a random Italian living in a tiny nowhere village knows more about the US than your average US citizen knows about Italy. I don't know a single person who doesn't know the difference between Washington state and Washington the city.

I have however spoken to Americans who couldn't point to the United States on an atlas.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

To be fair if we're talking geographically, it'd be more fair to compare knowledge of the US to knowledge of the whole of Europe.

If we're talking about history it's a bit different.

It annoys me that it actually is canon that the fairies are angels. Fundies can't help but steal everything.

Huh ? Last I looked Mango the Hutt was doing everything an Israeli could want ? How has he upset the genociders ?

[–] [email protected] 73 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

He told Israel to stop bombing Iran >:(

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

He also didn't wipe Iran off the map like Miriam Adelson and Netanyahu wanted.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This concludes the extent of his negotiating skills.

Israel is like a cat pushing things off a table. They maintain firm eye contact while committing war crimes, just to demonstrate how little respect they have for their supposed allies. Of course Trump can't see that is their game because he has the IQ of a watermelon.

This is the kind of shit why I say that white supremacists and Nazis love the state of Israel. Both they and Israel insist that this is what Jews are really about, at the expense of actual Jewish people just trying to live their lives.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

remember that the creation of a Jewish ethnostate was always the original goal of the nazi party. the mass killings only started when the logistics became infeasible.

Sometimes I wish this would happen so that the USA would 180 and invade Israel instead, but like the USS Liberty is evidence that the opposite would happen and the government would just cover it up and send Israel another billion dollars

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

We'd do like that guy who dick cheney shot in the face, and apologize to the Israelis that they bombed us.

does "national honour" justify starving tens of thousands of children and civilians?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Of course. That is how nationalism works.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Nationalism isn't something evil inherently, I like to remind of the "singing revolution", a peaceful separatists movements of the baltic states to split ties with the soviet occupying force: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Way

But it can very quickly turn into something evil if utilized by powerhungry regimes

Zionists are blood thirsty monsters that should be stopped by the world. Stomp their ideology out.

Is this Amichai Shilo someone important? I don't recognize the name

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

When I saw the news about the impeachment vote, I had the thought "what if they don't want to replace him just yet because they assume Iran will assassinate him and he'll be gone?"

This just adds to that idea.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Zionists don't care about lives besides their own. I find it so ironic how the US calls itself the land of the free yet sides with genociders. you would've thought that after the USS Liberty incident the US would've had second thoughts about being allied with Israel

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

And it would be the most symbolic if it was a shit bomb under trump's chair.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Should have been one at the GOP convention.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Dont threaten us with a good time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Plrase let that happen!

Figures there’d be a blue check.
