@AdamRFisher How many of those other countries are actively committing a genocide that Americans are both directly paying for and expected not to criticize?
@joshberdg@mehdirhasan The founding of a state by invasion and ethnic cleansing is what started a war. So yes, they did start it. They shouldn’t have even been there, stealing land that didn’t belong to them.
@ChaseAWillis@mehdirhasan The shamelessness with which zionists rewrite history is absolutely nauseating. Palestinians were forced out through threat, intimidation, and physical force. Communities were massacred to scare the remaining Palestinians from their homes.
@SlavaMalamud@FrankGrady2011 Israel started it 80 years ago. The foundation of that farce of a state was an act of mass murder, ethnic cleansing and land theft. Israel had murdered hundreds of innocent Palestinians in 2023 before October 7 even happened.
@CrankyPants5000@mehdirhasan What prompted them to go in the first place was a desire to thieve, murder, and ethnically cleanse Palestine almost 80 years ago.
@IhabHassane When an overwhelming majority of a society is openly, proudly, and shamelessly genocidal, there is a problem on a societal level. That is a genocidal society. Acknowledging that does not negate the existence of the minority that have resisted that societal sickness.
@VanJones68 You are a joke. Your insistence on intentionally misinterpreting policy positions of actual progressives makes it very obvious whose interests you are protecting, and it’s not working people or anyone struggling against oppression.
@MickeyGitzin@UrielYekutiel You and others like you ignore that Israel’s existence would not have been possible without mass murder and ethnic cleansing. So no, you do not have a right to that.
@michael_epps@realitybites555@TwinkTheory How stable would the home have been without Britney and her money? They would have been living with thousands of half siblings in a trailer park.
@RuppChip@IDF An initial aggressor who is in a place they have no right to be in cannot claim self defense. They have no right to stop or ask anyone for an ID. They’re invaders.
@div_thought@Lococo234567@Variety@CaitlinPacific If you’re not braindead the difference is obvious. American taxpayers are not funding those atrocities, nor are we called Islamophobic when we acknowledge they happen. Israel expects everyone to see their crimes and excuse them, calling anyone who criticizes them antisemitic.
