    Killing a child’s family is a really effective way to create the next generation of people who want to destroy you.

    Apparently that’s not obvious to the Israelis, since they keep doing it.

      Apparently that’s not obvious to the Israelis, since they keep doing it.

      They’ve discovered the solution of killing the children as well.

      Make no mistake – they’re not worried about people out for revenge because they fully intend to kill every single Palestinian in Gaza, leaving none at all left.

    • Are we counting Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ceausescu, North Korean and Ethiopian ones as Conservatives as well?

      • Yes. Every named person on your list was famously very socially conservative. None of those people were progressive (the opposite of conservative). In fact, each of them pretty specifically called out progressives in their respective countries as the enemy of the people and targeted progressives to be imprisoned snd murdered. Their behavior rhymes perfectly with that of modern conservatives.

      Fun fact: children in Gaza are born antisemitic and are genetically terrorist freaks.

  • If you can accept the necessity of genocide to fulfill your purpose, then just about anything can be made to make sense. Occam is spinning in his grave.

  • God, reddit was beyond revolting with the whole ‘hurr theyre homophobic in Palestine, Gays for Palestine is full of idiots’. Pretty sure it was prevelant here too early on.

    • Sacha Baron Cohen got beat up and almost killed by Jewish fundamentalists while doing his Bruno character in Israel.

      Pinkwashing propagandists never mention that Israel does not have marriage equality. It’s not some pro-lgbt utopia. The fundies over there do not hesitate to throw stones at even Jewish women for showing skin if you’re in ‘their neighbourhood’.

      Likes of Sam Harris, John Cleese, Douglas Murray, Bill Maher and many allegedly left-leaning, even atheist, people lose their minds and cognitive abilities when muslims are mentioned.

      Is islam pro marriage equality? No.

      Are there gay muslims who get gay-married and live a gay ol muslim life? Yes.

      How do they reconcile the contradiction in their faith/scripture and lived experience? The same way gay religious folks do in any other religious community.

      Do the bombs of racist zionists differentiate between anti-lgbt, pro-lgbt and fabulously-lgbt muslims? Fk No.

      Christianity or Judaism did not bring us marriage equality either. Their “Judeo-Christian sharia” pushed the hero of WWII, Alan Turing, to commit suicide for being gay.

      Homophobia in muslim communities should be challenged. But don’t put this burden on the helpless Palestinians enduring a Western funded genocide. Especially when West itself doesn’t treat all queer folks fairly.

      There are 2 billion muslims out there. They should ask Trump’s allies like Dr Mehmet Oz, Saudis, Qataris, Khaleejis, Marlaina of Alberta, Scott Moe of Saskatchewan or Donald’s favourite Field Marshall in Pakistan why they don’t treat their LGBTQ+ citizens fairly.

    • “It’s OK to murder people who disagree with your politics” is a wild take I don’t think they fully comprehend.

      • I thought it was more an argument about one-state versus two-state solutions, not rationalizing genocide.

        Weren’t those arguments more prevalent earlier on when the full extent of the atrocities Israel was doing and intended to keep doing wasn’t yet so widely known? There was definitely a media bubble that kept the worst of it from hitting people’s feeds.

        By one year in a lot of people who were saying “right to self-defense” had shifted gears to “wait no this is fucked up.”
