@ColdBrief So many lies and false conclusions. Youโre clearly a victim of anti-israel propaganda. Enjoy the hate ride. One day you will realize the truth.
Antizionist Jews pretending a connection to Israel isnโt a core pillar of Judaism is like taking the meat out of a hamburger and insisting your handheld bread pile is in fact the genuine burger. Eat whatever you want, but you donโt get to redefine a classic for everyone else.
Put the main deal aside, there is no logical reason why Iran should have any say over what Israel does in Lebanon.
And even if you think a deal with Iran is amazing, forcing Israel to stand down in Lebanon is cruel as it gets.
Lebanon, through Hezbollah, has sent and continues to send thousands of Israelis into shelters day after day.
Not one of these middle-aged podcasters cheering this on would tolerate living like that for even a week.
Easy to lecture Israelis from a podcast studio thousands of miles away.
Shame.
Hey @NickKristof
Was it deliberate that your @nytimes piece, full of propaganda, pro-Hamas lies and stories of โrape dogsโ - was published one day before a major evidence-laden report on the Oct. 7 rapes was released?
Or just unfortunate coincidence?
Asking for a friend
Everyone who works for the New York Times should at least be honest with themselves about what their paper did today: Participate in a perverted campaign to help Jew haters validate a fictional talking point to counter very real testimonials about Hamas's crimes against humanity.
@kajakallas Will you also sanction Palestinian Authority officials, for continuing to use EU money to fund their Pay-for-Slay terror payments? After all, "it was high time we move from deadlock to delivery" and "Extremisms and violence must carry consequences." Right?
I always say that Jew hatred destroys everything in its wake. Think about how much has been destroyed as a result of the peopleโs obsession with Palestine - a concept state that requires the annihilation of the Jewish state in order to take form. Itโs taking everything now. Not just Israel. In fact, Israel is the one thing it canโt take.
@BenMFreeman@avavidan Welcome. Your soul will love it here. But be realistic and know that itโs not an easy country to live in by any normal standard.
Anyone who's familiar with Arab politics knows that anti-Zionism is a cognitive trap that collapses all political analysis into a single explanatory theory. Why no democracy? America protects Israel. Why poverty? The regime serves American-Israeli interests. Why corruption? The rulers are traitors working for Israel. Every domestic failure gets routed through this singularity, which means the actual causes of the failure become literally unthinkable, genuinely unavailable as categories of analysis because the entire space of political reasoning has been totally consumed. The political decisions that flow from this captured consciousness are then what actually produce the conditions of poverty and unfreedom that the theory pretends to explain.
This is, without doubt, what the rise of anti-Zionism threatens will do in Western societies and you can already see it. The American opposition that forces everything through Palestine/Israel isn't just wrong about chains of causality; it's actively generating the dysfunction it attributes to the Zionist-American conspiracy or empire or whatever. The singular theory is not merely a misdiagnosis but the very pathogen that produces the disease it claims to name.
Every population whose political cognition has been captured by the Palestine/Israel symbol ultimately and inevitably becomes an open field of exploitation because they become incapable of seeing the causes of their own immiseration, and thereby unwittingly but actively reproducing the conditions of their immiseration, often through the very act of trying to resist it.
