    Meanwhile, TikTok has been trending today with "Maybe Osama Bin Laden had a point" that's been picked up by stupid far left influencers.

    And a crowd is trying to storm the Democratic National Committee Headquarters, currently engaged in combat with the Metro Police. You know what they are chanting.

    The Left has lost it's mind, just like the Right has. Biden is still a million times better than Trump, so no contest there, but these kids are dangerously, contemptibly stupid.

    They're not necessarily stupid, but they are getting fed a constant stream of "Israel is evil and doing apartheid/slaughtering civilians/bombing hospitals/drinking the blood of the innocent" headlines from most centrist and left-leaning news sources, as well as hearing those same accusations repeated by the UN and various governments across the world.

    Even Justin Trudeau is talking about the government of Israel killing babies. No wonder the average well meaning leftist is outraged.

    Canadian PM Trudeau tells Israel killing of babies in Gaza must end | Reuters

    "I urge the government of Israel to exercise maximum restraint. The world is watching, on TV, on social media - we're hearing the testimonies of doctors, family members, survivors, kids who have lost their parents," he said.

    "The world is witnessing this killing of women, of children, of babies. This has to stop," he told a news conference in the western province of British Columbia.



    I think we're so used to the media and lazy shitass politicians manufacturing violent outrage among right-wingers that it's weird to see the media and different lazy shitass politicians manufacturing violent outrage among lefties for a change. :marathon:

    I wouldn’t categorize that as “not having it”. I mean, what else was he going to say?

    Zionism is Nazism.
    If you support Israel, you support Nazism, white supremacy, colonialism, and you support the genocide of Palestinians.
    You reject the Jewish voices speaking out against Israel and its genocide of said Palestinians, and you embrace the ideology of fascism.

    None of you will care.
    None of you actually care outside navel gazing and empty rhetoric.
    None of you have the moral courage to actually give a damn about the deaths of children, despite your protestations to the contrary.

    You may now continue with your wonderfully ignorant circle jerk.
    I will not respond to any bullshit because this is not a debate. You are on the wrong side of history if you support Israel, because you support a Nazi state.

    Don't feel bad, though, should it ever come to light that the mainstream media acknowledges the modern day nakba of the Palestinian people, you can always pretend you weren't in favor of it, kind of like what will happen with Ukraine.
    Onto the next thing.

    I'm willing to pitch in $50 for your plane ticket to Israel so you can go fight for a free Palestine alongside your new Hamas besties. Actually, I'll pitch in $60.

    Amaris a week from now:

    I'm just going to point out that you and UA are usually fond of saying "I don't have to agree with everything someone has said and done in order to agree with one thing they've said" when you find yourself repeating arguments made by awful people. :async:

    That was disappointing. He wrote eloquently and logically. I agree with all his points.

    I need frothing at the mouth batshit craziness to satisfy my lust. That's what makes this country great.

    If that is your true position, you need to expand your commentary by saying every other country in the Middle East is a thousand times worse than a Nazi state. But you won’t, because that would mean you are criticizing Muslims, and by extension the inherent flaws in the modern Islamic faith.

    Meanwhile in the real world...

    The Israeli military has recovered the body of an Israeli hostage from a building near al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, as soldiers continued to search the hospital complex after Wednesday’s early morning raid.

    Yehudit Weiss, a 65-year-old woman, was abducted from the Be’eri kibbutz by Hamas militants during their attack on southern Israel on 7 October, in which at least 1,200 people were killed and more than 240 taken hostage. She had been undergoing cancer treatment.

    “The body of Yehudit Weiss, who was abducted by the Hamas terrorist organisation, was extracted by IDF troops from a structure adjacent to the Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip and was transferred to Israeli territory,” a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces said late on Thursday.

    “In the structure in which Yehudit was located, military equipment including Kalashnikov rifles and RPGs were also found,” the spokesperson added.

    Weiss’s husband, Shmulik, was killed during the Hamas attack.

    The IDF also said it had uncovered a Hamas tunnel shaft and a vehicle with weapons at the Dar al-Shifa hospital complex.

    “In the Shifa hospital, IDF troops found an operational tunnel shaft and a vehicle containing a large number of weapons,” the military said. It made public videos and photographs of the tunnel shaft and weapons, though no independent verification was possible.

    I do not understand how people can say much different. Zionism replaces white people with jews who are god's chosen people. It is a jewish superior philosophy which is why many jews do not support it. It uses the Torah as proof that god gave the jews Isreal and it is theirs. Even Manifest destiny tried to bring some sort of argument about an evolved society having a responsibility to run the land for the lesser ones, and does not totally rely upon devine racism.

    Not zionism. I wouldn't have much of a problem with zionism if the jewish faith made an effort to secure the land through the social contract of purchasing and keeping the land within the jewish community through financial means rather than laws which make it so no one but jews can buy Isreali land. zionism, like any other race or culture based superiority, is going to lead to the same things as Nazism, Islamic nationalism, and other groups that try to lay claim to land or power based upon their religion, culture, or physical characteristics.

    Hamas and the palestinian hatred of Isreali jews is a direct result of the abuses of people created by the idea that the jew is god's chosen person and the rest of us are beneath them. Zionism is acting upon the belief that jews are superior because they are jews. It is one thing to believe that but abide by a social contract where all people have rights and respect in society, but to act upon those beliefs to harm and opress others breaks the social contracts of respect for the purpose of jewish superiority.

    Of this there is no doubt.
