That makes sense. Universalism is a threat to separatism.

Again, not an expert on this history outside of how it intersects with Palestine, but (perhaps paradoxically) I'm sympathetic to this on the surface. Socialists who aren't... you know, the Soviet Union don't have the best track record on chauvinism. Given that, I find it hard to blame a deeply persecuted ethnic minority for not trusting their fellow Socialists.

Netanyahu is not committing genocide. Netanyahu has not fired a single bullet or dropped a single bomb.

The Israeli "people" are committing genocide and literally no one in their disgusting society objects.

It's very interesting that after two years of livestreamed genocide, this is the first time you've ever commented about genocide.

Do you think that you're not transparent?

Then leave, freak

The one thing I would push back on/add is that "Labour Zionism" and the Kibbutzim were fundamental to the Nakba and the current Israeli Holocaust. Just like all the European chauvinists who dissolved the Second International, calling oneself a Socialist does not prevent anyone from pursuing parasitic class interests.

Agreed on all counts. Excellently put.

To help stop the genocide and prevent the future extermination of non-Gazan Palestinians.

Why not?

Definitely. There is nothing inherent to Judaism that orients people toward this behavior, hence the sharp generational divide. It is all about class. But if we're going to be honest when we say that Israel doesn't represent Jews, Jews need to start confronting their relatives the way everyone (correctly) insisted white people do about Trumpism.

I'm not an expert in religious history, but I really think Judaism could be heading for a schism over this.

There are orders of magnitude more Christians than Jews, but even given that, your experience has not been my own. I've come across thousands of Jews (American, Israeli, Dutch, etc) who support and defend Israel. 99% of American synagogues are explicitly Zionist and provide material support to Israel and the IDF. The genocide is being armed primarily by Christians, but it's being carried out literally exclusively by Jews and with the approval of the majority of Jews.

If any other demographic had this much embedded Nazism, we would've been speaking about their role in empire the way we openly talk about Catholics, Evangelicals, Mormons, etc. Scots were once oppressed by the British Empire before they fully integrated and became valuable foot soldiers.

Every real Anti-Zionist Jew has my support, but if Judaism is going to survive, some very difficult conversations need to be had.

Or are Evangelicals still the designated sin eaters

 

Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

 

An argument that RadLibs have been making lately is that there's no universe in which a pro-Palestinian candidate gets in reach of the presidency, so you're obligated to support the least-bad option. So true!

Now let's do a little extrapolation.

Anyone who's glanced at even a single page of climate science knows that there is no universe in which the American people and a stable, sustainable global ecosystem coexist. Given this unfortunate but unavoidable reality, it is everyone's duty to support the Harm Reduction of exterminating 330 million Americans.

Since the odds of humanity going extinct in the next century are approaching 100%, there is no scenario in which zero people die to climate catastrophe.

Given that people are obligated to vote for the candidate who would ensure that 99.9% of Gazans are killed instead of 100%, it is equally true that you must throw all your weight behind the scenario that ensures only 330 million deaths instead of of 8 billion.

If you oppose this Politically Unavoidable Genocide, you are simply a privileged purity Leftist who doesn't care about Harm Reduction!

 

And then continue to not reduce any harm

 
 

So I hate airports. I got overwhelmed and didn't pack my CPAP for a vacation. Does anyone know of anywhere around LA that I can go to to rent one? I can get one shipped overnight, but I'm trying to avoid paying $90 for that if possible.

 

It turns out that accommodating spoiled aristocrats who order shit they don't need from halfway across the Earth on a whim has a cost, and let me tell you: that cost isn't coming out of the executives' salaries!

Every time you return something, you are adding data to a spreadsheet that returns the value of "fuck you."

I've been making my way through The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, and I've never struggled to finish a book this much. Just unbelievably harrowing.

I had a realization that's really stuck with me. Zionism is explicitly a response to European anti-semitism. No one has committed more pogroms than Europeans. Almost all of Europe gleefully participated in the Holocaust.

And yet to the average Westoid, Arabs are a uniquely anti-Semitic people because of the extremely mildly violent response some have had to ethnic cleansing. Palestinians manage to kill a single Israeli with a rocket every decade or two and it's "my god, these barbaric people have nothing in them but hate for the Jews." Europeans commit the GREATEST GENOCIDE IN HISTORY and yet they get to remain wholesome civilized people whomst have never harmed a Jew. Far-Right parties are sweeping into power all across Europe, but noooooo that doesn't say anything about our glorious Western Civilization.

Maybe if Arabs sweep the globe and rule with an iron fist for a few millennia they can catch up to the Jewish death toll inflicted by Europeans.

CW: Nazi

There are hundreds of QTs from Nazis talking about how they were the smartest kids ever but the damn (((education system))) hampered them, and anyone who doesn't believe that they're hyper geniuses is simply a seething lib.

You're supposed to get over the "I was a gifted kid" stuff by the time you're 20.
