@JasonRusty1 u got me that's the definitely the most jewish guy

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@JasonRusty1 Not sure how much higher it can go LOL

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@JasonRusty1 same tho

@salamithegreat The native Americans were almost entirely wiped off the continent. Also the Nakba happened during an actual WAR it wasn’t just something the Israeli gov (which barely even existed) got up and one day and decided to do. These comparisons are so fucking lazy man

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat As both an American and a Jew I can promise manifest destiny and Zionism are two completely different ambitions and if you look at a map of the Mideast clearly the Jews suck ass at manifest destiny. Try listening maybe instead of just telling us what we believe

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat Zionism is our effort for sovereignty (self-government) and a right to self Defence. I GREW UP in this all around me and I really don’t give a fuck about your “cut and dry” definition for me. This will never be something YOU get to define for US.

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat It’s Islamophobia for Jews bro. I swear Zionism is to you guys what Islam is to a trump supporter at a rally

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat Nothing even close to the extermination of the native Americans has happened to the Palestinians so I do think this comparison is pretty bigoted. Sorry but y’all are crazy for shit like this. If you don’t like me being straight up with you about this we don’t have to keep talking

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat 3. Focus internal politics more in improving Palestinian livelihoods than the conflict.

4. Engage in a genuine peace movement that makes a real effort to understand Israelis–who they are, how they think and what they want.

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat 1. Stop pushing bigoted lies about Israelis and Jews abroad.

2. Actually support the PLENTIFUL 2SS supporting and anti-occupation Israeli politicians.

@salamithegreat Why do you act like hezbollah doesn’t exist

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat I fucked up I’ll delete but you still got the life expectancy wrong and are flagrantly misusing the term genocide

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat It’s Islamophobia for Jews Salam that’s literally all you’re engaging in

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat Maybe Syria could have a chance too idk but at least that one’s only your problem

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat The occupation will only ever be reinforced, not solved with violence. If you don’t get that than you reeeeally don’t get this conflict dude

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat All the violence has done is create bigger and bigger wall and more separation. YOUR problem is thinking the Israelis do all these things just to be racist and not because the very real trauma in Jewish history + actual militant threats has them constantly fearing for their lives

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@Rolie_Nolie What a weird comment

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

Let’s remember that instead of working with peace activists, Hamas kidnapped or brutally murdered them to intentionally start a war

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat Austin has told me point blank irl that he thinks Jews should be deported from the region. The “all settlers are legitimate targets of violence” people are real dude

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat Salam after the Holocaust my grandpa lived in Berlin briefly after the war before he moved to the US. He never tried to murder every German he could get his hands on and if he tried they’d be right to lock him up. Extremist beliefs are never an inevitable response to injustice.

[Pensive @Jake_Peskin]

@salamithegreat I’m sorry but I think it’s really dangerous logic to blame Israel for this war starting. Yes they were problems in the region but it was Hamas’s decision to deal with them this way.
