@PlebeianMusings @intentionally@Curmudgeonisto I don’t know you sir and I typically only use Twitter to tweet watch (which you can see based on my profile) but I suggest you educate yourself on what Republicans want to do to the ACA—and it isn’t to make it more “useful” :)
@shaTIRED But he didn’t substantiate anything…he claimed a thing happened and then moved on. How is this believable?
“A unicorn fell from the sky and landed in my mouth…it happened in both…”
@LordFar86751478 @243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED I never called the young women antisemites however. My initial questioning stemmed from why there was so much animosity over posters that were raising awareness over hostages. That is all.
@LordFar86751478 @243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED Right, we both wouldn’t know whether she is or isn’t. I’m just asking the question and raising awareness. I know there are extremists on both sides and I wouldn’t be ok with either. Great debate.
@243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED I will add that if people wanted to throw up posters of missing or deceased Palestinians to highlight the atrocities happening right now, I would also have an issue with angrily tearing those down as well.
@243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED Not just memes but videos too. Not trying to argue. I understand the plight of the Palestinian people and support their liberation in the West Bank—doesn’t mean I will agree with some of the rhetoric I’ve seen. Just like I don’t agree with how HAMAS have handled things either.
@LordFar86751478 @243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED Touché. It’s just hard to see the distinction sometimes. One could think ripping down posters of missing Jewish people is animosity toward the citizens rather than the Israeli gov (again recognizing Jews aren’t the only kinds of Israeli’s). Great keeping the convo friendly.
@243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED I am disgusted at the inhumanity currently happening in Palestine and I share that same awfulness for what happened in Israel. However, Im also concerned about some of the hateful rhetoric toward people who had nothing to do with either.
@243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED Perhaps, but Ive seen quite a few anti-Jewish images/rhetoric stemming from this unfortunate situation. I would just hope that folks remember where to direct their anger is all.
@C_CitySocialite@243Casablancas@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED So we are certain this in no way shape or form has anything to do with a dislike of Jewish people in general? I’ve seen some “keep the world clean” imagery and am not sure where the animosity is targeted…
@243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED Agree that the settlements in West Bank are absolutely unjustified and horrible. It’s just hard to tell whether folks are upset at the Israeli gov OR all Jewish people… :S
@243Casablancas@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED So the posters all some ploy by the Israeli government? Those people didn’t really die? If so, then would it be OK to tear down posters of missing Palestinians too? Should anger be targeted toward the Israeli citizens or their government?
@C_CitySocialite@MassachusettsTc@shaTIRED If the posters are pointless… but at the same time not hurting or bothering anyone.. why tear them down? How would you feel if it was your family member over there?
@lowell_michaels @shaTIRED So I agree 100% about the issues in West Bank. That is NOT ok. I think what gets lost is that HAMAS’ motives aren’t just about freeing the West Bank—they’re trying to eradicate Jews everywhere; hopefully folks know these nuances.
@lowell_michaels @shaTIRED I don’t think anyone called for the end to Palestine because of what HAMAS did. Just like we don’t call an end to China for things they are doing to certain communities.
@shaTIRED What’s your solution for the civilians living in Israel? Should they all just cease to exist or move to some random country bc their government is horrible? Did the world call for America to “fall” after it dropped atomic bombs on Japan?
@queenie4rmnola They were raping people and cutting babies heads off. I don’t think we should equate HAMAS with the Palestine people. Just like you wouldn’t equate all Afghans with ISIS.
@thefishermon@HarrisonKrank@BLMChi Were they cutting babies heads off? Please show me articles where these types of war crimes were committed. If Ukraine started doing this to Russia, I’d be equally disgusted.
