Which is funny, because he notoriously doesn't do shit for Chicago.

He also claimed he was a “real jew” so there’s that

I was gonna post the same thing. The state of discourse is something else.

[-] machinya@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

it's okay to be antisemitic as long as you support israel in this genocide

weren't these people the ones that said antizionism = antisemitism? not like this is a surprise but it's still funny that these people loose their mask in seconds

[-] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 71 points 7 months ago

If you are "both-sideist" and one side is Israel, and the other side is Hamas, I don't really see how that can be defensible or OK. Imagine being "both-sideist" and one side is the KKK.

They make a good point, I don't know how you can be 'both sides' either

Israelis will really look at the Peace Lines Potato Famine Island screaming "WE'RE LITERALLY SPEAKING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHEN WE LABEL YOU AS COLONIZERS!" and be like, "God, why are you being so antisemitic‽"

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 59 points 7 months ago

have a hard time buying halal meat like I used to before 7.10... I just can't get over the politics unfortunately. Even when I have no idea what the politics of the person who did the slaughter are.

Also, there’s something really funny about the ones saying Mia Khalifa.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 44 points 7 months ago

I wonder how they would feel if people stopped buying kosher or stopped consuming media/art made by Jewish people?

Surely there won't be a double standard 🤪

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago

Oh that’s the richest part, chuds accusing absolutely everyone who criticizes Israel of hating all Jews being all “after October 7th I just can’t trust anything made by a Muslim.”

[-] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Hell, that's what BDS and similar campaigns are accused of - with the intentional comparison to the nazi era "Kauf nicht bei Juden" ("don't buy from jews")

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yes, I can't step foot in a Middle-Eastern store like I used to, to stock up on certain products. I got to try an Iraqi restaurant back last year post 7.10, but only because I knew it was Christian owned.

Agreed- on doing business with Arab and Muslim merchants for now. They may be otherwise decent people but you just know what their views are going to be on the topic so why go there.

I went to a new, big like Turkish/middle eastern supermarket sometime after 7/10, couldn't stop thinking about while I was in there. I also am kinda loathe to return. Probably won't.

What the fuck?? I wouldn't even consider to stop going to a Jewish/Kosher place I liked because of Israel

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

The Iraq thing is funny too because like.....there are Christian Palestinians and Israeli missiles can't tell religion in that brief window before it lands. As far as I'm aware, Christian Arabs also despise Israel.

[-] Amerihay@hexbear.net 41 points 7 months ago

The Serj Tankian comments made me sit down. They acknowledge that he's right about 9-11 but since he said it two days afterwards he's wrong or something and that he's Armenian.

I'm still trying to figure out what Armenians did to zionists to earn their ire outside of getting ethnically cleansed from Palestine in 48 and trying to stay in the Armenian quarter of Old Jerusalem.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Israel sells weapons to Azerbaijan, who have been in a low-key war with Armenia for 30 or so years. This makes Armenia antisemitic, somehow.

Not exactly an artist but the entire nation of Ireland. No Guinness for me ever. Was half tempted to buy an Ulster Flag for St Patricks day.

I would think a bit with this premise would be too outlandish, but here we are. They're so close to the mask coming off.

Wow really surprised to see Immortal Technique on there. I didn’t know he had politics.

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Immortal technique

Yeah you can't tell at all lol.

It's like people being surprised about RATM, except he's a rapper. He's not buried in sweet guitar riffs, It's absolutely clear what he's saying

[-] BeanBoy@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

I just don’t get why he has to makes everything so political

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Also, don't like Billie Eilish after her Oscars stunt with the ceasefire pin.

a ceasefire pin is the most mild fucking statement imaginable. "Ermm a generic peace for both sides statement? How dare you even SUGGEST we pause our mass slaughter of innocent life!"

they should boycott these countries next

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 24 points 7 months ago

Don't you know? You're a monster if you:

Call it a genocide

Call for a ceasefire

Call Israel an occupation

Wear a keffiyeh

Wear a ceasefire pin

Display the Palestinian flag

Engage in a protest

Demand an end to providing arms to the occupation

Post videos or images of the genocide

Ask that the occupation exercise serious restraint

Boycott

Send aid including food to Gaza

Ask that the occupation stop starving people to death

Watermelon (?)

And apparently according to a post or two over there, saying nothing at all too apparently

Probably about twenty more I missed but this list is long enough already.

Apparently the guy from Disturbed is super pro-Israel. I always got a chuddish vibe from him and his band.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 28 points 7 months ago

I had a look at the sidebar rules. There is the expected don't do this and don't do that which goes on and on. But there's something that made me laugh. The ninth list item at the very end. They basically say they'll give you a temporary or permanent ban based on vibes.

Emphasis mine.

9. Violation of sub rules and/or site-wide rules may result in post removal, warnings or bans at moderator discretion. The moderators of this subreddit reserve, in some circumstances, the right to exercise disciplinary measures based on violations witnessed in modmail or PMs and the right to arbitrarily discipline users for violations of the spirit of the rules or disruption of the subreddit's healthy functioning.

If you want to appeal or dispute any mod action, please send a modmail. PMs and chat messages to the mods are grounds for a temporary ban; posts contesting mod action will be removed and are also grounds for a temporary or permanent ban.

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

To be honest every reddit mod upholds that rule whether it's listed or not.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

Not every sub is shit. The large ones over 50k (or maybe 100k) subscribers are almost guaranteed to be shit. And the mods there are like busy body middle school kids who achieved their dream of being an asshole slash narc with a zero percent chance of getting stuffed in a locker again.

But smaller subs can be chill and the mods are actually there to make the sub better and not worse. There's no "my way or the highway" modding.

[-] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

Love the legalese like it's some binding document.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

I think the best subs tend to be the ones that have no rules (maybe because they are so small) or there's something like this...

Rules

Use common sense and don't be a dick.

[-] AmarkuntheGatherer@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 7 months ago

Kanye West is antisemitic but particularly on this conflict, he hasn’t commented (as far as I know). One TMZ interviewer asked him about it and Kanye replied something along the lines of “I don’t know enough..ask me about the dying kids in Chicago, that’s what I’m concerned with”.

"Hate me and mine for ethnic reasons, that's fine, but I draw the line at calling a genocidal spade a spade."

Ethel Cain. She released a song called From the river… very unfortunate I really loved her. (She’s trans, no doubt she’d be killed the second she steps foot in Palestine).

Let's make a list. You (this commenter) draw up the people Palestinians murdered for being broadly LGBTQ+ in the last 10 years, and I'll try to write down the children IOF murdered in the last week.

Thankfully most of my favorite artists are dead :( but I have unfollowed and blocked a lot of activists. I’m an animal rights activist and unfortunately the childishly black-and-white “total liberationist” ethos has taken over a large portion of the movement, especially the younger/newer people. Jews are oppressors and they won’t hear otherwise. I hope as time goes on they look back on this and adapt their thinking. In the meantime, I’m connecting with Jewish animal advocacy groups.

"Black-and-white 'total liberationist' ethos" talking points: Genocide is wrong. Murder is wrong. Starving people is wrong.

It happened to a ton of communities I'm in especially anything with a lot of LGBTQ activity. Luckily I'm in some groups that don't allow anything political

Damn anti-genocide movement, politicising my apolitical Queer activism.

subreddits of interest

r/Palestine

r/Arabs

Is that recommended by default or did they actually choose to stick links to those subreddits themselves? lol

Critical support for that thread telling people to not watch John Oliver. I hate that guy.

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 7 months ago

It’s comical though considering Oliver is a liberal in every sense. He just halfassedly speaks out about Israel’s crimes and that’s apparently too much for Zionazis. Fragile pieces of shit can’t go extinct soon enough. You can practically taste the fear from the young ones who bought the fascist bullshit and continue to through a genocide. They seem to know it’s all crashing down and no amount of whining over John Oliver’s libbed up takes will save their project

Wowee, a whole bunch of people that if you actually payed attention to their art, it should be pretty clear what their stance on genocide would be.

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

If you can't separate an artist from their work (in most cases) you need help.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
