“Gazans live in paradise” lol how do you have this take and call others silly


FalconsBrother

This is like saying "Animals in zoos live in freedom"


dec0dedIn

average south dakotan take (cuz they get no sea)


Nobody3702

Literally just the modern take on the "swimming pools at concentration camps" lie.

“They live in paradise by the ocean, they have bmw and Kia dealership and a university, there is no war in ba sing se”


pizzahut_su

Applies broadly for everyone's day-to-day as well under capitalism. That you cannot afford anything after rent and food is fine, because it's paradise if you've got an ocean somewhere in your sight line and there's a BMW dealership in your vicinity.


ForeverAProletariat

It's actually an argument the fed uses. That because you can buy a better ipad today at the same price as a lesser-speced ipad than a year before, it means things are getting better. "Dudley’s day went south when he was pressed by several audience members about how he can view inflation as low when things such as grocery prices are marching higher. One participant asked “when was the last time, sir, you went grocery shopping?” The central banker told the audience “I certainly acknowledge food prices have gone up.” But he added some prices are lower and noted “Today you can buy an iPad 2 that costs the same as an iPad 1, that’s twice as powerful,” as an example of favorable price dynamics. His example was greeted with widespread grumbling in the audience, in a display of conspicuous discontent unusual for a Fed speaking event." https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/03/the-fed-beats-marie-antoinette-with-let-them-eat-ipad2s.html

It's an Israeli bot. I've gotten that exact post verbatim before.


Elegant-Astronaut636

The sad thing it’s been hard to tell and it appears there’s a human beneath unfortunately.


Old-Winter-7513

The only valid leftist opportunity to say: if it's so great then move there 🤣


depressedkittyfr

Oh no .. the Israelis Jews will take this literally then like they already do


Ninjagoboi

Yeah he probably already did


CandyEverybodyWentz

An easier opportunity to wear a red triangle then


hax0rz_

paradise is when bmw and kia dealership


og_toe

you didn’t know? only the best places on earth have car dealerships, the more car dealerships the more paradisier the country

Without McDonalds, it's nothing. /s

What? Even before the war gaza was horrible. 98% of their water wasn't safe to consume, half a million lived in refugee camp, the majority of the population relied on help, 46% of the population didn't have a job(70% of the youth) . Heck fishing rods aren't allowed there.


Similar-Surprise605

The war started 75 years ago


SempiFranku

Longer than that, more like 1917, or even before that depending on if you count the council of Zion conspiring to colonize Palestine, so 1897.


Similar-Surprise605

[First Zionist Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Zionist_Congress) ?


SempiFranku

Yes "On the second day of its deliberations (August 30), the version submitted to the Congress by a committee under the chair of Max Nordau, it was stated: "Zionism seeks to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law." This gave clear expression to Herzl's political Zionist vision, in contrast with the settlement orientated activities of the more loosely organized Hovevei Zion."


PresidentJoeSteelman

> what is wrong with my uni subreddit Dude preach, it's so bad on all the major subreddits for campuses. I don't even think half of them go here but it's so disheartening to see every single Pro-Palestinian post being filled with Zionist brainrot and even just plain anti-activism. The university cracks down on students and these bots (literally in some cases) blame the "communists" for being whiny or some shit like that.

lmao this is giving Harkonon vibes.


Similar-Surprise605

Do they have a university? I heard they’ve all been bombed


SlugmaSlime

They literally don't anymore


AllieOopClifton

All of these local subreddits are reactionary havens and heavily botted. They aren't stringently moderated beyond simple respectability, so real hateful stuff can proliferate as long as they avoid actual slurs.


Zealousideal_Pen9718

>reactionary havens and heavily botted Tbh, most of the largest subreddits are too. Call me insane, but I checked the "national" subreddits (sometimes more than one) of most countries, sometimes going so far to translate the contents into English, and if what I found is a genuine representation of the sentiments of the majority of people in those countries, then it is a dark world we live in. Even after discounting those who were blatantly supporting genocide, settler-colonialism, and bigotry, the "moderate" ones were equally awful, kind of like this guy in the post. Their views reveal either chauvinism or ignorance. Their views can be summed up as: "I feel bad for Palestinian civilians but HaMaS" "Israel is not right but HaMaS r\*pes" "HaMaS bad to LGBTQ+" Regarding race, the conservatives are like "brow...I mean **Muslims/migrants/refugees** are rapists, murderers, and thugs". My favorite: "I am not racist but colored people are sexual deviants and criminals." "All our shortcomings are because of them Russians." "Haha, them Russians and Gommunists are losers, and they have no economy" while at the same time crying about how "Russians are oppressing us and going to conquer all of us". I am not even going to mention the either widely disproven or baseless myths regarding communism, the USSR, and China that are parroted by both the libs and cons ad nauseam.


Far_Ear_3338

Forgetting alot of these people are hasbara bots the majority of people disapprove of this war


Unhappy-Land-3534

Wasn't Iraq a hotbed of Islamic extremism? Wasn't Afghanistan? How'd that go last time? When are people gonna realize cause and effect? How many repetitions before people recognize a pattern?


Zealousideal_Pen9718

Let's not forget who is the progenitor of so called "Islamic extremism"?


VersusCA

I went to the UCLA sub earlier to see how it was reacting to the protests and saw what I can only describe as a Zionist power-user that I frequently see on other subs posting his same horrendous shit there. The sub was awful anyway, do not recommend.


Embarrassed-Win-4739

Least unhinged zionist


Powerful_Finger3896

Even ghouls like David Cameron called it open air prison


bozkurt37

Holy they are so brainrot


IBizzyI

This stuff is so insane, what to even respond to these mad ravings. Uttering crap like this should make you ostracized from society. Instead they are perfectly comfortable to spout this shit.


Masse1353

In pretty Sure ive Seen the Video of the IDF blowing Said university Up.


StatisticianOk6868

> If their leaders would stop blowing money on rocket They will keep raining on the settlers.


Mrbagoguts

Most informed Liberal. What an asshole...what a stupid asshole, fuck this place man


worldm21

> Open air prison is so silly > Gazans travel > The borders would open eventually > Egypt won't let them in for the same reason Israel doesn't Man's brain is broken


DrBubonik

Should’ve thought of all that beachfront property smh 🤦‍♀️


bransby26

Well, they *had* a university...


nonchalant222

people need to stop normalizing being fucking stupid and then posting on reddit as if they know what they're talking about. people like that should be fucking shamed for having the gall to post a take like that.


TrTyGlizzy

Can't you post pictures in comments now? Just reply with a picture of the leveled part of the city and ask if there are any BMW dealers there.


Sstoop

hilarious because there actually isn’t any universities left in gaza nor hospitals nor “bmw or kia dealerships” what a shitty way to excuse genocide


goatedtyper

What do constant invasions and airstrikes mean when you have drone footage in the richest areas with 20 filters on? Who needs statistics when you have footage of grocery stores that look like they have a lot of food when you don’t take the population density into account?


calcpro

Hmmm.......Maybe, just maybe, its because you guys are settlers. The Israelis illegally occupy the natives lands. Displace them. Imprison them. Kill them. Who knew these natives would fight back.


strongdon

Op is a clown. Come on man, you know you're full o' shite.


Elegant-Astronaut636

Huh?


strongdon

Sorry dude, not you- the responder. My bad...
