Illegal, settler-colonizing, genocidal "state."

Israel and the US are rogue states and everyone is pretending like they aren't.

Didn’t something like that happen in the thirties?

When I was young I was really into Star Trek, and viewed the Prime-Directive as a good approach to foreign policy. As I got older and more into politics, I advocated isolationism. People countered that we should all help each other, and for a time I found that a compelling argument.

Now I see good intentions corrupted -- sudden withdraw of help causing massive damage. I see a government that does whatever it wants around the world with nothing but apathy from its citizenry -- facilitation of genocides and support of authoritarianism. I see the rounding up and abuse immigrants on one side and the use of immigrants to fill labor needs rather than fund proper training on the other. I see globalization used to cut workers wages under the guise of mutual dependence maintaining peace.

There is certainly value to helping others and maintaining peace, but generally, I think Americans need to push our government towards minding its own business.

"Support Israel or face the consequences." What a world we live in.

Shoutout to Spain for standing up to these bullies.

"we refuse to remain silent"

never shuts the fuck up

What a fuckhead...how dare they oppose his genocide or be empathetic towards the thousands he has murdered for his dipshit religious beliefs.

[–] zurchpet@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

You're right.
Just that the criminal Benjamin Netanjahu is not religious. He is just a criminal that knows that in a world of justice he'd be rotting in jail for the rest of his pathetic life.

Donnie threatening the Pope, Bennie threatening Spain; Polymarket taking bets on if we get a sequel to the Thirty Years War or 2 Spanish, 2 Inquisition first?

[–] jack@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Spain, here's the plan. You're gonna dig into the best and the worst parts of your history. Best: the international solidarity and proletarian heroism of the Republic. Worst: the unlimited horrifying violence of the empire. You will fuse these together in an alchemical synthesis and use their powers combined to wipe Israel off the map. You can do it.

Dusting off the old conquestador gear and war achievements checklist

[–] Pherenike@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Not exactly stellar reviews for Spanish Armadas historically speaking, but ya gotta try.

"The most moral army in the world" is a hilarious bit of horseshit.

[–] Babalugats@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"Those who attack the state of Israel instead of terrorist regimes"

Is there a bit of an oxymoron in there somewhere?

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's a thought stopping strategy, define a negative term to exclude the things you want to defend or normalize. Similar to how they used to teach about "alcohol, tobacco, and drugs" in school like the former two aren't drugs, almost certainly influenced by alcohol and tobacco lobbies putting pressure on school curriculums.

[–] str82L@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

More of a tautology

Bro's out here on his "Make the world hate you Any% NG+" run

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Brother, how stupid and narcissistic do you have to be to go after Spain?

‘Omg the hot Euro country that has mo say in world affairs has said something mildly negative ablut us’

Jesus fucking christ you psychotic, pathetic fuck.

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago

Yes! Attack everyone! Open even more fronts! The last ten thousand fascists to do this failed but you're built different! You have the indomitable power of will!

When it comes to countries that have rights to return for Jews. I rather support Spain in this conflict.

[–] MeetMeAtTheMovies@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

They know they have to do something to make sure the rest of Europe doesn’t follow suit and heavy handed aggression is the only tool in their toolbox

Eight front war? Why does everyone hAtE iSrAel?

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Puros idiotas haciéndose siempre las víctimas. Creo que hay un israelí por aquí que compro una disco.

Threats from one war criminal.
