"There is no such thing as an innocent Palestinan, they have commited the crime of being an inferior race" Israel for some reason

[–] alt_xa_23@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

According to someone on the other site, no Palestinian is innocent because they've all been brainwashed since birth to hate and want to kill Israelis.

Couldnt you say the sane about Israelis when it comed to palestinans? Lol

I'm sure Israel killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, leveling their cities and evicting them from their ancestral homes had nothing to do with it /s

I know what you're going to say and yes I'm happy to see you.

You seem confused. People get called tankies for being in favor of the guys with the tanks, not the ones being blown up by them.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

no mistake made; leftists are the only ones whose words and actions are one-in-the-same and they've always advocated for the isrealis in american tanks to stop blowing up the gazans and the people who hate this are the ones who call them tankies for it.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m saying the reason people might get called a tankie is not because they support Gaza. In fact, I’ve never seen that accusation in relation to this conflict. Rather, it’s because tankies support countries like Israel in other conflicts. So it’s almost the exact opposite of what you say. Campism is the problem here because it forces them to defend the indefensible.

By the way, tankie is not just a pejorative for leftist. It’s a term created by leftists to criticize members of the movement who are perceived to have abandoned the core goal of human liberation that being a leftist has always been about. Maybe some liberals use it wrongly sometimes but it was never about them.

there must be a typo in here somewhere

then you've you've mistaken on what tankies are

[–] monarch@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You define tankie then. I'm a communist and think Russia is an Imperialist state and therefore bad. I've seen others say that it had never done anything bad and Ukraine was asking for it.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

russia is an imperialst state now that it's no longer the soviet union and a tankie is a straw man intended to enabling the punching left that americans enjoy doing.

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Just fyi, the Israelis use their own Merkava main battle tanks, not the Abrams. If I remember right, it's more heavily armored, with a shorter cruising range.

Tank... go... vroom?

Israel: "There's no such thing as an innocent Palestinian."

[–] Rokin@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I'll say this about isis and I'll only say it one time, or more times if nessisary. Isis is bad.
