… Anything, … literally ANYTHING, … to keep killing innocent Palestinians.
I already despised America for the barbaric enslavement of my African ancestors, and for the ruthless genocide against my Indigenous ancestors for this land. But just when I thought I couldn’t despise this wretched abomination any more than I did, it uses my taxpayer dollars, against my very will, to commit another genocide against innocent, helpless Palestinians, INCLUDING THE WOMEN AND THE CHILDREN.
AND THEN IT FUCKING PENALIZES YOU FOR RESISTING ITS VICIOUSLY INHUMANE ATROCITIES.

This is why Palestine is important. Israel is a rogue state and is a threat to humanity that it can do this in this day and age after all these civil rights, apartheid regime in South Africa getting toppled, the whole Afghan / Iraq war deaths etc.

I am still terrified by the fact that Israel is a nuclear power, in possession of American-made nuclear weapons. As unhinged as the Zionist Israeli government already is, the entire world is already standing at the precipice of World War III and the extinction of the entire human race.

u/Tchaik748 Apr 30 '24
And they have a name for a strategy (Samson doctrine I believe) where Izzy knows they're done so they nuke everyone instead of going quietly.
Monsters, all of em.

Apr 30 '24
Yep, and I am familiar with the Samson story out of the Bible. And that just reinforces what I said about Israel’s Zionist government being unhinged. That level of insanity should not have any nukes.

u/rj_yul Apr 30 '24
It is scary indeed but I read once that it's useless and almost suicidal due to the proximity to its enemies EVEN if they use tactical nukes. I wish I could find the damn article. It might be effective against Iran and perhaps Egypt at best, but any closer and its a death wish not counting radiation.

I know this isn't for every minority but there are some that are part of marginalized groups that when they get even a little bit of power they do whatever they can to keep it.
What is this be political power, social power, or something else.
Sure they are disenfranchised at are not as good as some of the others within their group but if they can just be convinced that they have even a little bit of power they will do what they can to keep that.

Can this be used for other stuff like “Islamophobia” or anti Asian sentiment during Covid?
That would hurt them further since there are laws about discrimination. But I guess they’ll just make them special.
They won’t do that for African Americans which means it’ll just be for them.

"Whiteness" is a concept that changes a lot. Irish people weren't white in the US for a long time, Eastern Europe wasn't white for Nazi Germany, Southern Europe and South America may or may not have whites depending on who you ask, etc.
Nowadays most European and American Jews would be considered white, yes.

American interests are in charge of America, ISRL would not exist without America and without American imperial interests.
The moment that is*real stops being beneficial for the US as a military base and proxy, the US is gonna drop them.
It happened in Afghanistan and Iraq, and it'll happen again as long as the US is still the leading imperialist in the world.

u/b1tchlasagna Apr 30 '24
Yeah. The people who say "Israel controls America" and don't hate Jews are naive. The US controls Israel, not the other way around. They are ramping up their propaganda because Israel is a relatively cheap colony in West Asia

u/LuluLenin561 Apr 30 '24
Exactly, and we've seen acts of terror committed against the Jewish community in the US (mostly by yt supremacists). The US govt has had the same exact response to those antisemitic attacks as they do with other mass shootings: they don't care.

Since when is criticizing a political ideology such as Zionism, Facism, or Nationalism,, peacefully demonstrating against a government whose politically empowered are ordering acts against International Humanitarian Laws and in violation of the Geneva Convention definition of War Crimes, or protesting against a government that is supporting and excusing a nation committing these illegal acts...a racially based attack? Even if the dissention is against a nation whose population is a majority of Semite people? AND especially when not only is the guilty nation's ruling governing body and population are considered Semites AND the nation those policies and actions ARE ALSO considered a Semite people also? In recent current protests how can speaking in support of the Palestinian people, against the Israeli government acts and policies regarding the Palestinian people, and against the Western nations, including the US governing officials support for the Israeli government ANTISEMITIC when the Palestinian people are Semitic people too? That term IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE ISRAELS OR JEWISH people! It also applies to many other groups of people originating from the Levant area of the Middle East that share in the same basic language distinctions that define what groups are considered as belonging to the group of being of Semite origins. STOP ALLOWING EXCLUSIVITY OF A LABEL THAT IN REALITY APPLIES TO MANY PEOPLE TO ONLY APPLY TO ONE GROUP. THAT IS NOT A FACTUAL OR EVEN CORRECTLY ASSESSED CONCLUSIVE ASSUMPTION TO ADOPT AS BEING VALID.

u/Arktikos02 Apr 30 '24
The term "antisemitism" was coined in the 19th century by German journalist Wilhelm Marr, who promoted hatred of Jews and also opposed various liberal, cosmopolitan, and international political trends associated with Jews. The term initially emerged amid varying political climates and was particularly used to describe emerging racial ideologies opposed to Jewish integration and equality.
The term was created to provide a modern reference to discriminate against Jews, moving away from the older term "Judeophobia," which was primarily based on religious opposition to Judaism. It was chosen to imply a racial form of hostility, as part of the broader scope of theories prevailing at the time that categorized human races with assumed hierarchies and characteristics.

Yes thank you. ...people going 'everyone is Semitic down there' need to read this and smell the fart.
Also... Semitic are a group of languages, not people... This, not a race card in any direction either way...
So unless one is arguing that what makes a nation is language , which is valid and better than pseudo genetic claptrap ... ....it still wouldn't clear the zionist intense , mfs, gaslighting with its most immoral capitalising on the fact that cultures and history are complex...
Either way Zionists are by all intents and purposes white settler colonialists and they should be so conceived, Or at the very minimum one should avoid falling for their interest in having the place, that is western public opinion, so gaslit that it will go into self combustion.

u/Arktikos02 Apr 30 '24 edited Apr 30 '24
Just to tell you like pretty much every social construct is arguably some form of pseudoscience. These things are not hard objectable facts, they are dependent on culture and people and things like that.
Even languages themselves. The difference between a language and a dialect for example are purely political and linguists don't really have the most clear definition of a language that separates it from a dialect. Many dialects are mutually unintelligible despite the fact that they are considered part of the same language and some languages are not only mutually intelligible but basically just the same language. Hindi and Urdu are two such languages that are mutually intelligible but they just use different scripts.
The languages in Bosnia (Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian) are like this as well. Two of the languages uses The Latin script and the other either use it the Latin script or the Cyrillic script. Yes, you can choose which one. This means that translations of documents are really just printing the document three times. The government insists that all legal documents must be in all three languages.
Here's an example of the same phrase translated into all three languages.
- Bosnian: Veliki veliki otok drži stvarno veliki brod.
- Croatian: Veliki veliki otok drži zaista veliki brod.
- Serbian: Veliki veliki otok drži zaista veliki brod.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people
Also what makes a nation for one group would not necessarily make a nation for another group.
Religion can be incredibly important for one nation and maybe pretty irrelevant for a different nation.
This is because nations are identity based.

I know I’m just an ignorant redneck with all of a high school education, but maybe it’s time young people just straight-up boycott colleges altogether, until they turn their shit around.
Should have already been done over the ridiculous cost imo, to say nothing of divesting from genocidal rogue states.
(Not to be anti-academic btw. I still wish I could have gone to college.)

u/xof2926 Apr 30 '24
The cost of college is not college's fault. It is the result of Republicans' double whammy of defunding higher education, sending that money to the rich and corporations, and also telling their ignorant rank and file that college is some useless la-la land that only teaches basket weaving for free and shit.
So the Ronald Reagan rubes (who think being dumb is a virtue) are somehow inspired by that. They react to the rampant anti-intellectualism that exists in this country because that's what they identify as.

You are right about the obnoxious state of the ivy league , columbia being indefensible ... The woman is a neoliberal puppet and capitulated not having a clue of the function of higher education. But it's not a case that people haven't been arrested at MIT and Berkeley.. perhaps others...
And you would be wrong about community colleges... Nobody makes big bucks there... Administrators in that case pay the price of neoliberal cuts to public goods, like higher education...
Blame neoliberalism. For all of it...

It's even more absurd than the screenshot tells us. Some quotes from the article:
The bill would allow the Department of Education to send a "third-party antisemitism monitor" to any college that receives federal funding — and to revoke that funding for colleges that don't comply.
The monitor, paid for by the school, [...]
So government would appoint someone not affiliated with the college and make the college pay for it. If they don't comply, they lose federal funding.
Also the bill is called College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability Act – or COLUMBIA Act - to make it very clear that it's a anti-protest bill.

Don’t get me wrong, true antisemitism should be checked and addressed. However, I just want to say that the US doesn’t have a clean history of putting this kind of effort into OTHER inequality issues, like those affecting any other group (black, indigenous, people of color, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, and more.)
But now, all of a sudden, people want to get into action?

u/Apprehensive-Tone449 Apr 30 '24
This is the correct point to make. And difficult to word correctly. It’s gross that all of a sudden it’s a concern for one group of people but not so much for so many other minorities that are the targets of hate daily. Like, why haven’t there been an anti-racism monitors all along?

Where is this energy when there are actual nazi protests? Where is this energy when swastikas get spray painted on synagogues or when synagogues get shot up? So many people are silent when it’s real antisemitism but the moment people start telling Israel to stop killing people then suddenly people care about “antisemitism”.

Funny how anti Jewish hate started and still happens in " white people" countries... Yet other countries around the world, including Muslim people coexist with Jewish people for centuries... Anti semitism is a white people problem. Even in Israel itself they are anti Jewish who are of darker complexion to their white European counterparts. Just because people are anti genocide doesn't mean they are anti faith. Just against oppressors who currently claim to be but don't really follow the religion of Judaism..!
