Too kind, I think a Blizzard game reference comes off a bit corny

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Sometimes corny is good 😁

They wouldn't have done this without the unconditional support of the USA under both Biden and Trump

@irelephant This picture shows the destruction of Gaza before and after the war.

I know, thought the first photo was given a gray filter because of the scale of the destruction at first glance

Israel is about 47% Jewish as of a recent poll, and that is about 41% of the global Jewish population. I have seen polling saying that roughly 50% of Israel supports the genocide.

So here we have roughly 20% (plus everyone outside of Israel who supports this insanity) of a major world religion who are gleefully in support of genocide. I would imagine the percentage who support the settlements expansions and all the violence around that is much higher.

My hatred of religion has swelled recently. It truly makes me believe you are a defective human being and that none of your other thoughts have any merit. I'm wholly uninterested in hearing swill from the mouths of people so hypocritical to their very core.

Edit: my brain did a stupid and my math was bad. Turns out it's a little worse than I had said. Thank you

blaming religion for pissraels crime is like blaming christianity for the colonisation of americas. It's a tool used, not the root cause.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Why not blame Christians? Are you aware of what the Catholic Spaniards did in the Americas? It was REVOLTING.

Just one example of many

Abrahamic religions deserve all of the blame they get and more

Blame the christians absolutely, but recognize that the primary motor behind colonisation was not religion but accumulation of capital. There was no such drive among armenian christians, egyptian christians etc. Religion is a powerful tool to control the exploited, but not the cause of colonialism. Like the wheels don't power the car but are essential for it's movement. There are also other uses for wheels, but there is only one use for a car motor.

@HasturInYellow @Rania
More than 80% of Israelis support the genocide. Not 50%.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Israel is about 47% Jewish as of a recent poll, and that is about 41% of the global Jewish population.

So roughly 19% ...

Explain the math please. I understand that 47% times 41% is roughly 19% - but why did you multiply these numbers?

As an agnostic/likely atheist, there's a difference between religion and extremism. People can be religious without wanting to murder those who don't believe the same things as they do, just like an atheist could still be a political extremist.

@HasturInYellow
This picture illustrates the difference before and after the war. I'm not talking about religion; I'm talking about the lack of mercy, the crimes we're witnessing in this war, and the widespread destruction in Gaza. I'm not talking about religion here.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What war? I saw an extermination with sparse resistance fighting. There were not two similarly matched forces. This was tanks running over children.
