It’s wasn’t the ethnic cleansing of Jews that was bad, it was the ethnic cleansing of Jews that was bad.

The more Israelis who wake up to this, the better.

This number is and has always been a rounding error. Better not count on it.

As a wise man once said: Every accusation is a confession.

It seems the original term is accusation in a mirror, coined in 1970 by Roger Mucchielli. There's also an Irish article from 1998 coming awfully close to the more common version. My conclusion: I have no idea.

Satire isn't just dead, reality is fucking its corpse in the middle of the street.

Did he take the literal nazis' dicks he's been sucking out of his mouth before he said that?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Just like Russia calling Ukrainians Nazis, while employing nazis

Nothing like deflecting your own flaws to distract a global audience

Ah, by all distinction and similarity with Nazism and the Nazi party, there are few groups in the world right now that are more aligned to it than Benny's cohort and ideologies. But they are not as effective in their actions. Ben's damned near line for line from the Nazi playbook.

The only hold back is social. The world's not able to socially understand how those persecuted by the Nazis have now become the Nazis. Honestly, the only difference here is we're talking a small section of the middle-east and not all of Europe. The stinctions are otherwise quite minimal.

A small section of the Middle East for now, and not for lack of trying. They're actively trying to restart the Syrian civil war.

But the fact is that "Israel is a new Nazi"!

This user, "drag", is a transphobic troll who repeatedly told another user to kill themself while they begged "drag" to stop. "Drag" has also sent gore and child porn in PMs to other users they disagreed with, including PugJesus, FlyingSquid, and Ada. Please, everyone report their comments wherever you see them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

There's nothing to report here.

Every accusation is a confession; Especially true for Zionists.

Albert Einstein's letter to the New York Times was spot on.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

This was a pretty interesting read: https://archive.org/details/AlbertEinsteinLetterToTheNewYorkTimes.December41948

There was a point where many peace activists saw zionism as a good thing, but then the zionists chose a fascist leader. To be fair in the 1940s it might not have been clear yet that religious nationalism is bad and tends to lead to fascism. What's odd is that many still haven't figured this out yet.

This of course applies to Hamas as well, which is why there's not going to be peace in the middle east until there's a secular group in charge of things on at least one of the sides.

Netanyahu calls himself Hamas at Holocaust memorial.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Well, he isn’t wrong, Hamas should be obliterated

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (7 children)

Hamas are at least indigenous and not from Poland

Edit: Jews from Iran or India or wherever are still not indigenous to Palestine.

Honestly Hamas is what struck the match for Israel to start killing. Mass killings are not ok but Hamas isn't the good guy here. If they had more military strength there would be a lot more dead Israelis.

May I interest you in literally all of Palestinian history? What did you want them to do? Sit on their asses as they're starved and the West bank is ethnically cleansed by the Nazis?

2023 was one of the deadliest years for Palestinians prior to October.

I would like to invite, to the stage, all the Jews who were complaining that calling Israel's actions a genocide is diminishing the importance of the Holocaust

Something something every accusation is a confession
