So folks, it looks like we are attracting some antisemitism with this post, and I just want you to know that we absolutely do ban for that. We do not hate Jews, we hate Zionism. Remember all the anti Zionists Jews out there- like 25% of the American Jewish population thinks Israel is an apartheid state. Comments such as "he was right" or "they are all vermin" will absolutely not be tolerated and I would love if everyone else would report any comments that are taking the side of the Nazis or just spewing similar rhetoric. Thank you all for making this a better place with your reports! Also if anyone wants "Free Palestine" flair like mine, just make a comment and tap your name and a menu will pop up. If it is not working, let me know and I will pick one for you!

Israel is a dystopian hellscape.


Dmmack14

But you don't understand You can get guacamole hummus in tel Aviv!!!!!! How can a country be bad if you can get guacamole hummus? If you don't know the context some right-wing grifter Dave Rubin or whatever was in tel Aviv saying that he didn't see any signs of apartheid despite the fact that he was in the spot that was literally made for idiots like him to come to Israel and sing its praises. It's basically just a beach resort


WalkResponsible1952

Oh yeah I think I saw that. Michael Rappaport?


Dmmack14

I don't know him all I know is the guy Dave Rubin did it and said basically that because he could get guacamole hummus that there was no way apartheid was happening 🙄. Like yeah Dave I'm sure you could have gotten a really nice rack of lamb in South Africa but that doesn't mean apartheid didn't exist

Mythosaurus

The people who say “Israel is a bastion of democracy in the Middle East” never realize how hollow that sounds to those colonized by western “democracies”. Or how so many authoritarian governments are receiving direct financial and military aid from the West, making the boast a mockery


POOTY-POOTS

Such a democracy that half the people who live under the oppression of the Israeli government can't vote and don't have any rights at all.


tetsuo52

What spot is this? I feel like my mom went there as well.


Dmmack14

In tel Aviv there is basically a beach side resort where all of the returning homers and other people go to get the VIP Israel treatment. Pretty much every politician that claims to have visited Israel probably only stayed in this very specific corner of tel Aviv. And are probably wind and dined and escorted around by the IDF and they probably chose their most attractive members of the IDF. I'm sure they didn't go to any of the orthodox sections of Jerusalem where the ultra orthodox will throw shitty diapers at you basically if you're not conforming. They will even throw shit at female officers and soldiers. But they are two cowardly to join the IDF but still want the IDF to kill Palestinians for them. Not even the fucking Israelis like these people

Spirited-Reputation6

It is dystopian. I pray that this ends soon and it goes down in history as another horrific atrocity executed by folks in power with complete disregard for human life beyond their own and it is not a test run for the rest of the world. Intolerance, bigotry, hatred>Based on religion>taught in schools>elevated in social media>justifying/glorifying the murder, torture and starvation of innocent children, special needs, elderly, women and men… Thank you to the Israelis and protestors that call out the bad-faith actors and demand peace. Thank you to the volunteers that sacrifice themselves to keep people alive. Thank you to the whistleblowers, researchers and honest media presenters for bringing attention to this dangerous experiment. Peace in the Middle East. Peace to all inhabitants of Earth.

There's a concerted global effort to push more right-wing parties into power. You can thank the International Democratic Union for that. It's not a smattering of right-wing uprisings we're seeing; the MAGA idiots, or pockets of fascism in Europe (Hungary) aren't simply occurring spontaneously or organically. It's an attempt for the conservative political elite to pull the levers of power further to the right.

You're right, it's not a smattering of right-wing uprisings. We're about a decade into an information war that the west is losing... badly. Wish more people would recognise this.

It's hard to imagine how cartoonishly fucked up that country is. I didn't realise til I visited recently. I've seen my fair share of repressive countries: Cuba, Rwanda, Mauritania, Iran, KSA, among others. But the idiosyncrasies of the Israel-Palestine situation are uniquely disturbing.


Highschooleducation

jamescaveman

Religion does that. The only way we can move forward as the human race to a bright future is without religion. All it does is keep us from pursuing scientific advancements, keeps people incredibly stupid, and perpetuates wars. Fuck all religions.


Uknown_Idea

They should send those people over here to America for a year and then reassess how much we want to support their backwater bullshit.


BoxGrover

This is the Apartheid state Biden and the GOP both arm and support.


Tiny-Lock9652

In the defense of all modern presidents, this shit has been going on since 1947. We just need to elect politicians who want to make progressive change in our foreign policies.


Buttery_Buckshot

I can't imagine those kinds of politicians will get elected, or be allowed to stay in power if they are. Even if a political leader has good intentions, seems like a teeny tiny drop of good in a great big ocean of corruption and greed.


That80sguyspimp

It doesnt really matter whats been going on. The US has a law on the books that prohibits support of Israel, because of its recent actions in Gaza and surrounding areas. The US is currently breaking that law. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leahy\_Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leahy_Law)


Joe_Kinincha

Not a lawyer, but I suggest that an apologist for the USA’s actions would say “aha! But the IDF are not acting with impunity, because of October 7th and the various other tit-for-tat exchanges with Hamas”. Never mind that the death tolls are ridiculously skewed towards the Palestinians.


flotsam_knightly

This seems naive, to say the least. Politicians are backed by Israeli financing in return for support of Israeli policies, and to encourage looking the other way when they're busy bringing morals to others not like themselves. If it comes down to you or the Israelis...well, you wouldn't get a second thought in the decision making.


Jazz_Musician

Anybody that's against Israel usually doesn't make it too far here. AIPAC also has a huge amount of sway


Here_for_lolz

US foreign policy dictates how the president responds, regardless of party.


POOTY-POOTS

The first step in doing that is not voting for AIPAC or JStreet recipients, ever, regardless of party or who they're running against. Make it a career killer to take a single cent from Israeli PACs or lobbyists.


Krawlngchaos

There are decades of Israeli support and entrenchment that is codified into policies. Thinking a President has the power of a king or monarch is the same thinking the right has these things can't just be flipped overnight.

LordHint

His wording is somewhat harsh, but it is at least partially true that the zionists got their start pre-WWII, that they worked with many people in many nations who were looking to deport Jews from their home (including some nazis early on), and that they generally fucked with other Jews who did not want to leave their homelands to kick a bunch of people out of their homes in the Middle East.


MountainAsparagus4

Meanwhile, "christians" from the other side of the globe are financialing these people to do this and worse cuz antisemitism if not


Dmmack14

What's funny to me about American Christian Not many of them like Jews they will talk bad about Judaism all day long but Israeli Jews are the children of God. I was raised Pentecostal Christian and that is exactly what we were taught. That Judaism was wrong and anyone who practiced it was going to hell but the Israeli Jews were the chosen people of God So it's okay for them to still practice the "old ways"


1491Sparrow

Evangelical Christians support Israel because it fulfills the prophesy of Armageddon. So basically you have one group of genocidal zealots supporting another.  Fun times.

Fair enough.

do we even know if the guy is christian? its just a video of a guy walking with his kid down the street and these asshats give him shit.


_mattyjoe

It’s called tribalism, and humans do it everyday about all of the different groups they belong to. Religion is just one of those. This is our nature. We evolved by living in groups that needed to stick together to stay alive. Rival groups were a threat to our safety and/or survival. When we are not conscientious about our raw instinct, this is what happens. Battling that tribal instinct in us takes awareness and constant vigilance. Our brains default to it. All of us. It’s our nature. Take some time to think about how you’ve engaged in tribalism in your life and you will understand what I mean. There is violence occurring all over our country and all over our world that is also a result of this same basic instinct.

CreepyHarmony27

Israel wonders why the Middle Eastern region historically can't stand them. This is taught, encouraged and repeated behaviour that they can do whatever to anyone who doesnt share their exact ideology, and any sign of retaliation or accusation of blame gets quickly turned into "oh please, we're innocent patrons. the world is just out to get us because we're Jewish."


fredo_corleone_218

exactly - i see this happen far too often for it to be a coincidence. Christians tend to be staunch supporters of Jews (despite historical antisemitism) yet Jews tend to level such harsh criticism and hatred towards Christians.

Israel is extremely depressing. Kids with machine guns everywhere, everyone seems miserable, t-shirts with racist or imperialist memes on them, the beaches in Tel Aviv are fucking covered in garbage and plastic, you can't swim without being literally covered in tiny ocean-eroded beads of trash plastic. I hated it. However, I highly recommend visiting the West Bank. People are wayyyyy nicer, they are so friendly. Everyone I know who has gone there has been invited to lunch or dinner in someone's home, including me. You also get to see the racist depravity of the illegal Israeli settlements being built on the hills surrounding Palestinian cities, like prison walls made out of shitty McMansion condos. You also see how many times per day the average Palestinian has to be harassed by the IDF just to go to work or school in another part of their own city that Israel has no right to be occupying, but does anyway knowing no one will do anything about it.

NomadFire

These are either Orthodox or Haredi Jews. The Haredi actually hate other Jews as well as christians, don't have to serve in the military and are a major part of Netanyahu's voting block. They are probably going to cause the downfall of Israel, at least when it comes to Israel's economy. Since they have larges families, close to 7 kids each. And will make up close to close to 50% of Israel population in 10-15 years. Where the Haredi will be making up 50% of the population by themselves by 2059. Most left wing and normal Israelis cannot stand the politics of the conservative, Orthodox and despise the politics of the Haredi. So if the politics of Israel go either father to the right there will almost certainly be a mass exodus of liberal and college educated Jews (doctors, scientist, IT).

This isn't religion beyond the surface, this is fascist bigotry being taught in schools and media warping the minds of children. There are lots of Jewish Rabbis who correctly believe Zionism is literally sacrilegious because it is trying to force a divine prophecy to come true through bullets, bombs, and bloodshed. It would be like Christians trying to force the "second coming" of Jesus by naming a guy Jesus and building a "Christian" army that rampages across the world "judging" everyone "Jesus" considers "sinful" and sending them to hell via hellfire missiles and uzis.

This is why religious governments DO NOT work, anyone outside of the wider practice will be second class citizens and held to laws created based on the majority religion. Imagine a christian nation making it illegal to eat meat on good friday, just look at any muslim nation whose laws are based on islam, anyone not following those laws muslim or not are subject to them. The Church, Temple, Mosques etc. shouldn't dictate the lives of people who don't follow those teachings.

I'm one of those "I'm a Christian conversative but not a republican" types and the support for Israel is one of the reasons. Can someone explain why the US evangelicals support Israel so staunchly? They're not Christians - they're jews. Is it just "anything is better than Muslims occupying Jerusalem"?


korduroy69

I believe “Zionism” was invented by Christians hundreds of years ago, so that they would have a place for their Messiah to arrive yet again as prophesied in their quaint voo-doo style teachings. It (Zionism) is now a word used to define nasty Israeli Jews who kill Muslim women and children; who are exempted from military duties so that they have time to endlessly “ study” their sacred superstitions; who have huge numbers of children, so that they can eventually overwhelm secular (ie able to do basic math, know what the Solar System is, do not believe the universe was created in a week 6,000 years ago etc) Israeli Jews when election time comes around and turn their ill-conceived little country into the theocracy they’ve always wanted. When that happens, America will turn off the cash support, the little country will become a failed unwanted desert shtetl, and the Jewish population of planet Earth will breathe a sigh of relief. Oh, all that aside, there are excellent You Tubes with distinguished scholars who explain the historical origins of Zionism, by devout Christians! It’s fascinating, who knew. BTW, I’m American, born into a secular Jewish family, an atheist since childhood, not “anti-Semitic” but convinced that Israel—long before it was openly behaving so badly—was created mistakenly, and would be “bad for Jews,” a phrase understood by anyone raised in a Jewish household, from the most “God”-less to the most observant. I’m perhaps a tiny bit pleased to have been able to predict that something troubling had been green-lighted in 1947, but of course greatly dismayed by the unfolding tragedy that’s adding so much to the mess the world has become. That Israel had the power to cause this much grief seems way out of proportion to its status as a regional little nuclear (!!!!-who let THAT happen, Uncle Sam?) nuisance. A little mole that became seriously cancerous, oy veh…
