I know the comments are immediately filled by these assholes but I'm glad they are being down voted and OP is being up voted.

Its so akward to engage with people like that... it's like people supporting russia because ukraine is supported by america. 2 can be shit at once. Its not that hard.

If isis starts attacking israel, that does not mean you need to support isis...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (3 children)

if in some bizzare, hypothetical fantasy world, isis somehow invaded israel and stopped the ongoing genocide there and delivered a perfect two state solution overnight, would you be morally against specifically that action because it was isis who did it?

to be clear, i'm not asking whether you'd be against isis as a whole: just whether you'd be against isis ending the current israel-palestine situation peacefully

If they did that I'd be grateful to them. And if I had wheels I'd be a wagon.

This is you “so what if hypothetically Putin solves world hunger, homelessness, and redistributed all wealth so everyone was on equal playing field. Oh, oh. And he disarmed all their nukes and led the disarmament of all nuclear armed nations? Oh AND He helped solved climate change? Then would think he’s a good guy?” Like those hypotheticals are bonkers and useless.

I remember when Al-Qaeda was condemning ISIS and the entire world was like confused agreement

[–] [email protected] 64 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I just want to oppose Israeli genocide without saying that the "A Curse Upon The Jews" folks targeting random countries' civilian shipping are kosher (ha) because they said they're doing it for A Really Good Cause, Promise(tm), despite the utter lack of apparent effect on that cause, and dubious mechanisms for even its theoretical effect on that cause.

Israeli genocide? Or the Houthis having "A Curse Upon The Jews" on their flag?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

The Houthis thing. The Israeli genocide is fairly straight forward to understand.

Bonus: Apple spellcheck does its damnedest to not acknowledge the genocide. Someone should have words with Tim Apple.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 7 months ago (5 children)

They're a very 'colorful' bunch.

God is the Greatest

Death to America

Death to Israel

A Curse Upon the Jews

Victory to Islam

Yay. More religious wing nuts. Just what we need more of these days. 🙄

That's how I got banned from 196 calling out bs like that. Pretty sure /u/Moss is a full blown tankie

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

196? Where the banner reads "Fuck tankies"?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

Go have a conversation with Moss about Hamas. I'm paraphrasing here because it's been half a year, but what I said that got me banned was that the Hamas leadership and the Israeli leadership both spend the lives of Palestinians like Monopoly money. It's in the best interest of the leadership of both parties for the conflict to continue. Neither side wants peace and the civilians are fucked because of it.

I was banned for being a genocide Apologist. While also condemning the genocide...

Fundies and tankies there never was a better match made.

Campism is a hell of a drug

Comments removed for trolling…… on a meme sub.

That’s novel.

I was on the side of Houthis after being oppressed by American-backed, Saudi-led military forces. But now it became clear they are lackeys of Iran who attack innocent sailors, who have no dog in the geopolitical dick measuring contest.

I am very disturbed by mean words on a flag and a naval blockade in protest to an ongoing genocide.

Hmmm

[–] [email protected] 66 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

"Naval blockade" here meaning "attacking random civilian ships in international waters because they MIGHT be Jews"

Yes, I am sure this is how a naval blockade against a particular country works, you just pick a handful of civilian ships at random to shoot at and claim they were secretly part of your enemies. War crimes are okay when it's Your Side (and apparently, your side is the Islamofascists, very curious)

EDIT: Of course, they're a Tiananmen Square denier too. How predictable.

Doing more to stop a genocide than the western powers sending weapons.

How many war crimes on balance?

Being against Israel is not the one and only measure for whether a group is good or not

"By killing Fillipino civilian sailors heading to Saudi Arabia, this will finally stop the genocide of Palestinians by Israel!"

Have fun with your war crimes.

How many war crimes on balance?

'on balance'?

What, is this some kind of fucking game to you? "They committed war crimes, so we can commit so war crimes too"? Jesus fucking Christ. How utterly morally bankrupt.

Your source is shit and so are theirs.

Bending over backwards to support theocrats is not revolutionary praxis, it's licking the boot that belongs to whoever you like more.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

Murdering filipinos to upset the israelis. Yes, totally a naval blockade and not just unhinged terrorism.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fucking psychopaths would see the Palestinian laborer crushed under the boot of theocracy purely because "they shoot at jews sometimes tho."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (3 children)

A little mask off there saying "Jews" instead of "Israelis"
