I feel really foolish that it took me at least a minute to realize that by "I did not give up Target and Taco Bell to live in a dictatorship" that the intended meaning was "I didn't move to the Zionist Entity for the colony to have specifically this leadership"

Like I could glean that this was a Zionist protesting Netanyahu, probably the judicial reform specifically, but I just could not mentally connect "giving up Target and Taco Bell" with "leaving Seppoland"... Because like why would Target and Taco Bell be the two things someone would miss most from Seppoland? Like even out of the treats. Fuck me I remember such fond memories of visiting Seppoland, like feeling my soul leaving my body as I walked through an endless labyrinth of plastic junk and high fructose corn syrup; or waiting in line to order low-grade slop to reduce my life expectancy, while the guy in front of me had a "Let's Go Brandon" Three Percenters t-shirt on, and there was just a straight-up police SUV in the parking lot outside. Ain't that something you could just get soooo homesick for?

And coming home to a rent payment you can't afford because you haven't had a real raise in 10 years... but hey, Real Housewives of ___ is on. Yee Haw!

Why would you not have access to Taco Bell and Target (or equivalent) in fucking Tel Aviv?

I don't even believe this sign. It sounds like she's just an influencer doing weird plugs.

Eh, there’s no target in canada, it’s not that much of a stretch that they don’t have it or taco bell in “israel”. What I don’t doubt though is that there are absolutely equivalents available and this is just an american whining about how things aren’t exactly the same as the states

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

You've got some flavor of Big Box up there.

What I don’t doubt though is that there are absolutely equivalents available

Given how many businesses are just retail front-ends for Alibaba and Temu, I would be shocked if there weren't. But its fundamentally the same shit.

So shes basically admitting she has no connection to Israel whatsoever, just a colonizer

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's interesting how we have a comment in this thread referring to this person as "she", another as "he", and another as "they".

Does Israel really not have a Target equivalent?

Target is basically just Walmart for people who think Walmart is for poor people. It's basically the same low and middle quality mass market goods at a slightly higher price

Not even good treats. Fucking Taco Bell? Jesus at least say Chipotle asshole.

Not acknowledging that the black bean Chalupa Supreme is the intestinal Dranō of the proletariat -- this is the 419th form of liberalism 🌮 mao-shining

[–] Lerios@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

i genuinely don't know what's being implied here. like, she left the US to go to isn'trael and now she's upset about the evil bullshit? but the outfits and decor here suggest that this is a pro-isreal rally???? a good rule of protest signs is that they should probably form at least one (1) coherent idea. and you'd think even the most shallow chud would recognise how cheap it seems to base your actism on the iconic cornerstone of western civilisation taco bell

also those weird yellow and black uniforms and star wars ass text are Not the look jesus side-eye-1 side-eye-2

[–] hypercracker@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There isn't much depth, it's just liberal zionism. The belief that you can be part of a settler state in its maximum genocide phase without that state performing evil acts beyond the imagination. They desperately want israel to just be a "normal country" because they think the characteristics of countries are determined by who is in power, not the material conditions of that country.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Israel unfortunately seems to have little in the way of not pro-genocide protests. I've only ever seen them in the form of "we should be killing even more ruthlessly" or "we should killing slightly less ruthlessly". Both seem to think their government is a dictatorship on the basis that it either a) doesn't care about Israelis because it's not killing Palestinians enough during the genocide or b) doesn't care about Israelis because it's not rescuing hostages enough in the course of the genocide.

The prideful smile on their face... They really, really think they are owning Netanyahu with this one.

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's the most popular politician in Israel again. The IDF is going to execute this woman and the rest of the nation is going to clap.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I know! And people like the one pictured here honestly think that their goofy signs and tshirts are gonna make him change course.

Do we have a name for lib-zionists?

It’s almost worse than the more blatant ones cause they think they’re holier-than-thou in the absolute worst way.

Edit: oh god I just realized, that flag on the left is a combination of an Israeli and American flags...

[–] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 month ago

yeah, "libs"

I was looking at this for a while thinking it was some republicans boycotting target and taco bell out of hatred for lgbtq, racialized people or women or something... But there's a man playing the flute and everyone knows flutes are for girls. Also him and the woman to his right read on first glance as piss play enthusiasts with their little caps and yellow sashes. But then I see they're not wearing leather or latex, just regular woven cloth and that's not very practical. So the whole thing is pretty much incomprehensible then I read the comments and I guess it's in israel. So.
