How did a Zionist hijack more than half this article to spread racist propaganda

100 fruitbats does not amount to anything much in the Mormon capital of the USA.

This is an incredibly biased article that elevates a voice equating the support of ending the Palestinian genocide with anti-semitism, which is demonstrably false.

There is no "Palestinian genocide". It absolutely is not happening.

maccentric ,

What, absolutely, do you imagine is happening?

Gaza is controlled by terrorists who launched an attack against Israel and Israel is responding to the attack. Civilians die in war, but the Israeli goal is very clearly not genocide.

Okay yeah sure. Thats why the Israeli Minister of Defense said "We will eliminate everything" among many other things said and done:

It'd be nice if they'd stop bombing hospitals and depriving millions of people of the basic necessities of survival then. Oh, and it'd also be nice if they'd stop referring to Palestinians as animals and shooting children in the west bank. And It'd be nice if Netanyahu would stop saying his goal is to annex the west bank and the Gaza strip. And if the Israeli state would stop encouraging settlers to illegally (by their own laws) occupy the west bank.

The attack was also 3 months ago. And tens of thousands of Palestinians have been murdered since then.

As if this all started on October 7. Let’s just not account for all that inconvenient stuff that happened earlier. Got it.

Approaching 30k dead, half of which are children. When does it become genocide in your eyes?

You bring much of the antisemitism you experience on yourselves, bub.

Gaza is controlled by Israel

agitatedpotato ,

To be fairrrr, Id argue that does in fact mean Gaza is controled by terorists, but clearly thats not the point the other guy is making.

Doesn't matter what their goal is. It matters what their actions cause.

It's pretty insane that people can just say these straight up Nazi takes on here and not get banned but if you say anything slightly controversial the other way around suddenly it's a huge problem.

Tishby said: “One side is a democracy and, like any other democracy, it’s a flawed democracy. The other side is a jihadi genocidal organization that is fully committed to your annihilation.

Oh, pardon me, if y'all voted for genocide then that's completely different, good point.

A self-defense military operation against insane terrorists is not genocide in any way.

@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

You're right. However, the rest is genocide.

sugarfree ,
@sugarfree@lemmy.world avatar

No. Genocide isn't a term you can throw around lightly, something you don't like isn't genocide just because you think it is. There is no genocide in Palestine, and it's horrendously offensive to even suggest that such a thing is occurring.

Just because you say it doesn't make it true, and just because you pretend to be horrified or offended doesn't make it false

sin_free_for_00_days ,

I agree with you, but found out real quick that people on here really do believe the over the top rhetoric with respect to this religious war. Now I generally just pass on by without commenting. This being an exception. The better to gather downvotes I suppose.

kurwa ,

It's good to know you support the killing of 10s of thousands of innocent civilians, many women and children, and the forced starvation of at least half a million people. Of course though, because they are Arab means they don't count as people right?

sin_free_for_00_days ,

Exactly! That type of rhetoric. Just fascinating.

kurwa ,

Okay psycho.

@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Telling people they shouldn't talk about genocide is horrendously offensive.

cali_ash ,

Trivializing actual genocide by just throwing the word around is also horrendously offensive.

@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

Trivializing actual genocide by dismissing it is horrendously offensive.

Rentlar ,

South Africa is making the case that it's genocide, that's not to be taken lightly and it's not just random people saying it is.

There's been plenty of evidence. Look at the one-sided settler violence that's been happening in West Bank, the people killed there are by and large uninvolved with the October massacre and terrorist attacks, including the American-Palestinian boy from Louisiana.

I have nothing against Jews or people who are from Israel. We have to stop supporting and sanction the IDF and Israeli government's policy of recklessly inflicting non-combatant casualties in the region.
