Israeli Politician Quotes Hitler to Argue for Resettlement of Gaza
  • Seems like a nut.

    Also he's not in office. It's kinda like getting upset if George Santos said something insane.

    I get that people are working hard to find evidence for the "Israel = Nazis" narrative that's currently trending, but kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel aren't we?

  • What are you talking about? You need to chill, you're not even making any sense now.

  • Ah yes, the far right tactic of claiming that anyone that recognizes the existence of racism is a racist.

  • Hezbollah and Hamas flags waved during pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York
  • Prominent people in BLM made it clear that they didn't condone the violence being done by a small group of people.

    The Palestinian protests can't denounce Hamas, a group that murdered over a thousand people in the most brutal ways imaginable. Which is far beyond some looting that occurred during the BLM protests. While prominent people in BLM denounced the looting, we hear basically nothing about people in Palestinian protests denouncing Hamas.

    Do you really think that looting is the same thing as massacring villages? If so, you may have lost perspective.

  • When people try to "both sides" genocide in an attempt to normalize it in an effort to rationalize the horrific acts committed by their side, then yeah I don't give a lot of leeway.

  • ‘Everything is a scam!’ Trump ridiculed after pics of Black church event show white crowd
  • If that's the case, they obviously don't want to hire black people.

  • SpaceX's Starlink May Be Keeping the Ozone From Healing, Research Finds
  • That works for satellites in a Geostationary orbit, but Starlink satellites are in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). While LEO is in space there are a tiny amount of atmospheric particles there which creates a tiny amount of drag. Things in LEO will come back down eventually.

  • Daisy Ridley's 'STAR WARS: EPISODE X - A NEW BEGINNING' will begin filming from September 2nd, 2024 in London, UK.
  • Really looking forward to see Star Wars move forward again. Getting bored with the story going nowhere lately. They got a prequel to the prequels on TV now FFS. Gee... I hope Yoda doesn't die LOL.

    If they ignore the vocal internet fans and make a fun action adventure movie it should be good. They torpedoed the ST be listening to the Mary Sue whiners and making her support character in TLJ.

    Rey Skywalker is back and I'm down for it. Rey's lightsaber looked like it was the same at both ends so it might be a double bladed lightsaber. That would be fun. It'd be cool if Oscar Isaac and John Boyega could come back.

    I'm sure the vocal internet Star Wars fans will hate it. Whatever, they got like 10 seasons of TV shows set in the past.

  • Hamas went into villages and murdered everyone they could find. They weren't targeting military and some civilians being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They planned an attack to murder as many civilians as they could and executed that plan.

    Before that for about a decade and a half they've been firing rockets towards population centers. It's only because Israel spent billions of dollars to protect their civilian population that Hamas hasn't been able to kill more civilians. And what do Hams spend their money on? Palaces in Qatar and tunnels under Gaza to keep themselves safe while they leave their civilian population at the mercy of an army they claim to be committing genocide.

  • The truth...
  • Yeah antisemites have used a lot of hairsplitting and labelled a subset of Jews to be bad in the past too. Google "Cosmopolitan Jew". If you rationalize a way acceptable to hate a subset of of Jews, you make it more likely people will look the other way on hatred of all Jews.

    In the past the Nazis made people feel it wasn't really antisemitism to hate only the Cosmopolitan Jews and those people looked the other way when they attacked Jewish businesses and synagogues. Their ultimate goal was to eliminate all Jews in Europe.

    Right now your being told it's not antisemitism if you only hate only the Zionist Jews and you're looking the other way when Jewish businesses and synagogues are being attacked. The propaganda you're reading is coming from people whose goal is to eliminate all Jews in the Middle East.

    You're just rationalizing how Israel is the fascist to avoid facing the nature of the movement you're a part of.

    What do you think it would be like to be part of a fascist movement? Being angry all the time? Being given a target for your hatred? Supporting an antidemocratic, misogynistic, homophobic regime? Being told a democracy is tyrannical? Being told the media is being controlled by... well... you know? Marching alongside people that want genocide?

    What would tip you off that you're part of a fascist movement? I guess as long as they keep you angry, you don't have time to think about it.

  • A group of genocidal terrorists is better than a democracy by a wide margin?

  • The truth...
  • Is being a Jew an ethnicity, or is it a religion? Is Sammy Davis Jr. the same ethnicity as Jerry Seinfeld?

    The reason there needs to be a Jewish state is because of antisemitism. Personally I doubted the necessity of a Jewish state. Then October 7 happened and the spike of antisemitism in the West that followed it.

    I'm not the reason there needs to be a Jewish state. The hatred you feel towards Jews is the reason there needs to be a Jewish state.

    But go on spouting your vitriol. The only thing you're accomplishing is proving the necessity of the existence of Israel.

  • I'm not the one that said what's happening in Gaza is the worst thing to happen since the Nazis. See the problem with constantly being hyperbolic is that it results in all kinds of horrible implications. The implication of the statement that Gaza is the worst thing to happen in 75 years is that you're at best ignorant of history, and at worst you've dehumanized victims of the many atrocities that have happened in that time period.

    So which is it? The victims of what happened in Ethiopia, what's happening in China, the victims of the Rwandan genocide, the victims of the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the people of China that starved in the "Great Leap Forward" (this list goes on and on) aren't people so therefore you don't need to even consider these events of the over 75 years since the Nazis held power? Or are you simply ignorant of history?

    It's probably best just to claim ignorance and refrain from hyperbole in the future.

  • Yeah, probably. Fascists always want to use violence against all opposition to them.

  • Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic
  • Is it a crime to kill a person simply because they're wearing a different uniform from you?

    That's what the military does, right? They kill people for wearing a different uniform. What's the morality around that? Is it more or less moral to lie to someone than it is to kill them?

    We can debate the morality of the existence of militaries all we want. But people in power in places like Russia aren't having that debate. They will use their capabilities to expand their power in absence of a force to oppose them. We need military capabilities and that we means we need to have people willing to kill people for wearing a different uniform. God forbid they might lie to people sometimes, right? Killing people we're fine with, but disinformation crosses the line!

  • Over 50,000 Palestinian children require treatment for acute malnutrition, says UN agency
  • All of the government? Even the members of parliament that are in opposition to Netanyahu? Even those in the government working to send aid to Gaza?

    The only thing that's apparent is you're filled with hatred. Just trying to determine the extent of your hate.

  • Over 50,000 Palestinian children require treatment for acute malnutrition, says UN agency
  • What you’re saying is that in reality Israel is pretty much a Fascist authocracy, like Ethiopia, hence having the same disregard for human life, especially children. That does make sense.

    Nope. I'm saying you don't care about black people. When millions of black people were starving you simply didn't care.

  • Over 50,000 Palestinian children require treatment for acute malnutrition, says UN agency
  • Ethiopia has done way worse rather recently: https://www.economist.com/leaders/2021/10/09/ethiopia-is-deliberately-starving-its-own-citizens

    You just didn't care about it because it doesn't fit a simple good-guy/bad-guy narrative that makes it easy to blame people you've been predisposed into thinking are evil.

    Also aid is getting into Gaza. There's a pier built by the US and the IDF has implemented a daily 11 hour tactical pause so aid can flow in. Israel doesn't normally do military campaigns this long so doesn't have the resources to deal with this kind of crisis. Other countries aren't stepping up because who wants to commit ground forces to Gaza to distribute aid? No one.

    Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire would be a big help, but why would they? Starving Palestinian children helps their cause because it makes people like you so angry you will just blindly support Hamas.

  • Who's "they"? Jews?

    You're the reason there has to be a Jewish state.

  • Trump Hits “I Have Black Friends” Stage of Total Racism
  • How do you prove you're not racist?

    You don't. If someone is falsely accusing you of being a racist, that's on them, not on you.

    Now if someone is calling out a specific action or something you said... well have a listen to what they have to say. They may be right or may be wrong, but if you're listening to people and are willing to learn you're not a racist.

    If someone thinks that you being Hungarian makes you a racist... you're right they're being xenophobic. That's on them. There's no point in wasting your time on someone that's looking for a reason to dislike you because of where you're from. Even if you could prove you're not a racist, they'd find some other way to rationalize a reason for disliking you.

  • Toronto police increase presence along hospital row after pro-Palestinian protest

    Protest swiftly condemned by all levels of government; organizing group denies hospital targeted

    Toronto police say they are increasing their presence along hospital row after a pro-Palestinian protest downtown on Monday night, including outside Mount Sinai Hospital.

    Toronto Police Service spokesperson Stephanie Sayer told CBC News the increased police presence is to ensure that essential hospital services and emergency routes remain accessible.

    "Interfering with the operations of a hospital is not acceptable," Sayer wrote in an email.

    Police have not said if the hospital's operations were impacted by the protest. The hospital has not responded to CBC News's request for comment.

    "The Toronto Police Service is investigating several incidents that occurred in front of Mount Sinai Hospital and along the demonstration route. As we have said before, officers use their discretion during large crowd demonstrations and even if arrests are not deemed safe to make at the time, investigations will continue and charges can be laid at a later date," Sayer said.

    UN agency probes staff suspected of role in Oct. 7 attacks

    GENEVA, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Friday it had opened an investigation into several employees suspected of involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel by Hamas and that it had severed ties with those staff members. "The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7," said Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General.

    "To protect the agency's ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay."

    Lazzarini did not disclose the number of employees allegedly involved in the attacks, nor the nature of their alleged involvement. He said, however, that "any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror" would be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution.
