Israel/Palestine Thread

I think you have selective hearing, or whatever the social media version of that is. The poster I was quoting specifically mentioned Jewish people in Manchester going about their daily business without any repercussions.
collective punishment is collective punishment. The scales are several orders of magnitude different, but is still collective punishment.
I mean, are you seriously suggesting we see signs in birding house windows saying no dogs, no Jews? Saying that a team representing Israel can’t compete in a games is saying that Israel isn’t welcome. Saying Jews isn’t is blatant anti semitism.

as far as I am aware, they aren’t. The poster I was replying to was saying that they should be.

But hey warriors boy, bash that keyboard in anger.

Israel itself is the prime mover behind this : equating Zionism with Judaism and saying the fate of the Israeli far right, racist apartheid state is the exact same thing as the fate of all Jewish people.

It's not a nuclear bomb.

Hitting an arms depot or fuel depot can create large explosions like this, seen several fireballs of this magnitude in recent conflicts. Looks like this one hit a fuel depot.

No, I never said such nor would I.

I'm sure after the Nazi genocide the world was more dangerous to Germans for a few years.

The policy of the Israeli state, and many ghouls on here, has been to conflate opposition to this "war" with antisemitism, which frames this as representative of Judaism, implicating Jews as complicit in the slaughter.

By doing this, Israel themselves are propogating antisemetic tropes of a Jewish hive mind, or that every Jewish person in other countries are somewhat loyal to Israel and not necessarily their own countries, (these are specific questions on ADL surveys that indicate antisemetism).

This genocide is real, it is happening, and after it all comes out there will be a backlash. Israel, for whatever reason, has done it's best to ensure all Jewish people will be implicated, when that is no more true than the "every Muslim is a terrorist" bullshit we hear (ironically from people who support this war).

“I think boycotting them and blocking them from participating in international civil society is much less severe than what they subject on others.”

I understand the sentiment but I’m not sure I agree with it being implemented - if your view is starting to be shared by many other ordinary citizens then certainly, legal action of some kind will ultimately be taken by European governments and the EU.

I’m reluctant to tar each and every Israeli with the same brush - I’d prefer to see groundswell against the prime minister that currently exists within the country, grow within the country, and see him deposed, arrested and tried for war crimes.
The people of Israel have to shout louder - otherwise, what you advocate for may happen one day - and I don’t want to see that - there’s a very small window of opportunity before the next phase of invasion takes place - surely the Israeli people do not want to see this happen

Hahaha….

What a win for the Israelis! Jesus Christ man….
