dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Actual headline from the Wall Street Journal:

Blast Goes Off at Orthodox Church Campus in Gaza

"The Israeli military said it is looking into the incident"

i feel like the whole world has just turned into the I think you should leave skit of the hot dog guy.

Although Palestine is majority Muslim, I don’t there’s really been too much conflict with Christians right? Israel has discriminated against and killed Arab Christians in the past including one of the journalists a few months ago

[–] JamesConeZone@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I understand that the Palestinian Christians have very good relations with their Muslim siblings. They have a solidarity that extends beyond religion as you might imagine.

[–] D3FNC@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People acting like the middle east was locked in a vicious, kill on sight style religious war for thousands of years must also take deep pride in nobody in their family tree having ever left their home town in Ohio.

And of course their paid daily editorial column in the NYT / WSJ

Just gonna leave this "bullshit religious pretexts being used as a cause of armed conflict vs 50 gallon barrels of petrichemical products exported in the last year" dot correlation chart here

No, no reason in particular

[–] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

We can see the solidarity on full display in the flag used during the 1936 Arab Revolt in Palestine

It was probably better to be a Palestinian Christian under the PLO than it is under Hamas but yeah Israel also discriminate against Palestinian Christians and deny them access to holy sites

I'm sure there is some antisemitic conspiracy theory floating around out there about all of these blasts somehow being connected and intentional.

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That'll play well in Russia

genocidal fascists stop alienating the whole world challenge any% (impossible)

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’ll play well with Ukraine because they’ll throw their own people under a bus for a piece of Israeli pie

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're going to be less thrilled about the US diverting already packed Ukraine-bound weapon shipments to Israel though, lol

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shit, this might actually result in a monkey's paw version of the quick end to the Ukranian war we all want

It doesn't feel good

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

On the bright side, nobody is going to want to be an American proxy in the future. Dying empire stay flaky

[–] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

I can't believe Hamas would do this.

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Did the person who made the meme mix up the Saudi Arabia and Palestine flags?

[–] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

That's the Hamas flag

[–] skeletorsass@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It is a common symbol for all Muslim. It is the testimony:

لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّٰه مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّٰه

And green is the color of the paradise garden.

Saudi version have a sword under.

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Ok I didn't know that thanks

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it says "There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"

[–] Clippy@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

probably i stole it

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

The Saudi flag has a sword underneath the script

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Almost as if there's one country that's a common factor in all of these conflicts thinkin-lenin

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

Hopefully not, though SK has been getting frisky for some reason
