This is my core issue with a lot of people who label themselves as “pro-Palestine.” Equivalent levels of mass civilian suffering have been happening all over the Muslim world for decades - Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan - yet hardly anyone seems to pay much attention when it’s Muslims killing other Muslims. But the moment it’s Jews involved, it becomes headline news and sparks protests in the streets. And in this particular case, the protesting had already started while Israelis were still being killed in Israel and the IDF hadn't even stepped into Gaza.
I would be significantly less pissed off if the money that should be used to make our society function, were used here instead of to help perpetuate a genocide. That's the difference with his one. I am directly paying to starve millions of people to death. It's just one more subscription I have. An endless flood of images of human degradation and suffering brought to you by the USA and Israel.
To be honest, I don't care about those 20 hostages. Israel certainly doesn't. They are starving those hostages too, and bombing them. Indiscriminately. Why should I care when they clearly don't. They want to kill more people, fine let them. Let them also face the consequences for those actions like every other middle eastern country. Without Big Brother standing behind them, Israel wouldn't be able to do this shit.
Israel's behavior in this genocide is not new. It's not surprising except with its openness. I'm sure the person who threw the fire is completely unsurprised with how the war has gone.
To be clear, I have no more problems with jews than any other religious freak. But Israelis are vile swine.
Being angry about your tax dollars being used for something you ethically oppose is a fair point - and one I hadn’t considered before.
However, my criticism still stands when it comes to the rest of the world, where anti-Israel and pro-Palestine sentiment is comparatively similar, despite the lack of direct financial involvement.
No. You’re talking out of your ass
Yeah because everyone knows that Israel has been oppressing Haiti and Sudan for 80 years... So fucking disingenuous.
