Man, if the holocaust happened today, turns out most people would actually be on team holocaust. Wait, that's exactly whats happening...

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 130 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

I don't think it's most people. Opinions outside of Israel have largely shifted against it even in the US. Politicians often misrepresent their constituents on this one. At least that's what it looks like in some polls I've seen.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're attempting to astroturf a Holocaust. People aren't on board but the rich goombas are.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Emphasis on "rich" here. History has shown that genocide is always followed by claiming and then divvying up the resources once held by the displaced/dead. That's always a rich-man's game.

Not in Congress. Not on Wall Street. No where the power congeals. We're hitting the end-stage of the War on Terror. Western states are not going to be happy until the entire Muslim world is cowed or exterminated.

The Israeli government doesn't represent everyone who follows the Jewish faith. Jewish practitioners (especially abroad) shouldn't be assumed to be complicit unless they claim or are shown to be.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

That may be; I know nothing. But somebody just posted something like “Jews of lemmy, how is your family on Israel / Gaza?” And most said their families were all very pro Israeli government / Zionist. It sounded a lot like most were complicit.


Here it is, and it is a bit better than when I saw it first, but still…

Ah, yes, threatening to murder teenage girls - Clearly, the moral high ground

[–] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 181 points 1 week ago (55 children)

Small correction that does not take away from the point your making, but Greta is 22.

She hasn't been a teenager for a while. This idea has been perpetuated by Right Wingers since she came on the scene, and despite her turning 18 four years ago, people treat her as if she was an ignorant child. We need to all know this and stop propagating this.

The last boat was destroyed. Everyone on this boat could die, too. Those people are insanely brave doing this. hopefully they all come out of this alive and are able to help those in need.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 76 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (21 children)

Bravest woman I every heard of in that generation. I hope she makes it safe. She would make excellent world leader someday. Fuck Lindsay Graham and rest of the ghouls.

Spectator: The sinister transformation of Greta Thunberg

JNS Daily: Danish police arrest Greta Thunberg during pro-Hamas protest

NYPost: Greta Thunberg goes full in on Jew-hate because left politics is all one big blob

Conservatives have been gunning (quite literally) for Greta for nearly a decade. Israelis are going to 100% try and kill her. She's going to be martyred if she's not protected.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

She’s going to be martyred if she’s not protected.

Yes, I'm afraid she probably will.

Death threats are not 1A-protected free speech. So terrorism charges against those making the threats, yes?

/we all know the answer to that question

Wow, that's a pretty insane reaction, why would they say something like th- Oh, I see, they say shit like that all the time and almost no one calls them out on it? They'd kill her with impunity if she were even slightly darker-skinned, and will brook no interference with their ethnic cleansing? It's a good thing that the ICC is at least reining them in befo- oh, they've also been largely impotent to stop the bloodbath from flying off the rails?

[–] KingCake_Baby@lemmy.world 60 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sen. Lindsay Graham among the threats

Yeah I feel like years ago someone would have had to step down from their position and quit politics in shame for such a dishonorable statement.

Hoping someone shoots missiles and sinks civilians trying to feed the poor. What a terrible soul.

Lindsey Graham is a pus riddled sore. Why does cancer harm the innocent when there is righteous work to be done?

Honestly, my generation (80s) does not deserve Ms. Thunberg.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

having seen humanity, she's not the person we deserve, but the one we need

Can we all agree. A certain percentage of Zionists people. Are blood thirsty monsters? And they should be taken out before they can harm other people. Preferably put in prison.

[–] bobthened@feddit.uk 23 points 1 week ago (21 children)

That "certain percentage" is 100%.

At least they’re consistent in how they want to resolve conflict.
