Without knowing the specific person's politics, how is this not just racism?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Because Israel is a racist settler colony.

[–] duckythescientist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, fully agreed. But that person isn't Israel. They just live there.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Great so they should stop doing that and get off Palestinian land.

I mean I live in America which is steeped in prejudicial treatment of all kinds of people. There's nowhere that's like purely unproblematic I can uproot my whole life and move to.

It's batshit insane to expect a while country of people to just kind of piss off.

Like I don't think I could afford to move to a new country flat out.

The point you're coming to is that "blood and soil" is bad policy.

Why? Because it's fucking nazi rhetoric.

But .ml isn't a cult, no no — my instance is full of nazis. Totally not .ml, literally spouting off nazi rhetoric.

America isn't actively mass murdering the people it's stealing the land from though. Also Israelis have plenty of opportunity to go elsewhere, they always can get a second passport from their actual country of origin.

OOP is doing a great job providing them with the necessary motivation.

I mean they kind of did do that though, trail of tears? Mexico used to be... bigger? List continues?

As far as I'm concerned this shit is "being an asshole to a bottom rung employee because you hate the corpo they work for"

I agree, it's entirely unreasonable to ask someone to uproot their entire life to change things that they have no part in. I'm against the Palestinian genocide but this feels like you're focusing your ire on the entirely wrong person. Not to mention the idea that only Palestinians should be in Palestine? That feels a bit off

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml -5 points 2 days ago

Like I said, all of those things are long in the past and peace treaties have been signed. Palestinians have not signed a peace treaty with Israel so they hold full ownership over all of Palestine.

Same with the the boycott of Apartheid South Africa.
