It's hilarious how they kept pushing this "We have nowhere else to go" line when they have the population with the highest dual citizenship rate who can literally just move back home to their families in the US and Europe.

To that I'd say that Trump, the man, still has a certain popularity, but his policies are insanely unpopular. The Democrats had candidates who were less popular and charismatic, then they lost because they were unwilling to meaningfully oppose Trump on policies.

Basically, there were no candidates willing to do what the people wanted. Can the same be said for the zionist entity?

If Netanyahu remains unpopular why do they keep electing him

I think this is an initial shock reaction that will pass. People are terrified because there's suddenly missiles hitting buildings next to them, but if it goes on long enough, people will learn to live with it like they do in other war-torn countries. In case of Israel, however, many of them might also just move back to Brooklyn.

My PC fan is really loud on startup, after looking it up I'm 99% sure it's a fan bearing issue. Are there any temporary fixes until I can get it replaced?

Point taken about Comrade Femboy's comment. I was frustrated with the tone of their original comment which is why my response was intentionally provocative, but I suppose that is how they express their anger at an overall infuriating situation.

Yes, they're technically human beings but they lost their claim to humanity, in my view.

The technicality is all I know for sure. shrug-outta-hecks Can't argue about the rest.

There is no equivalence between those in decolonial struggle who, through the evil cruelty of the colonizer, have ceased to view their colonizers as human and between those genocidal settlers who are actively participating in or otherwise enabling the genocidal dehumanization of those same colonized peoples.

Yes! I agree! That's why there's no pearl-clutching in my post about October 7th victims or the hostages or whatever. My post is about my emotions and what I hope to see in myself and other online bystanders, not the people actually engaging in decolonial struggle. I just don't want my hexbear comrades to display the same kind of sadism I see when I click "translate" on a Hebrew tweet, and my emotions had me worried that I might go down that route.

(I use the term "Israelis" because I'm specifically talking to the people currently located in occupied Palestine, while "Zionist" is a political ideology that could also refer to my neighbors. I assure you it's not for the sake of sympathy.)

I will say this: Zionists are people. Slave owners were people and the Nazis were all, unfortunately, people. The humanity of these groups is not to be decided by their victims. I agree that we can and should forgive their victims if they do not recognize their oppressors as such, but we as bystanders do not have that excuse for ourselves. Also, what it actually means that they're human is a whole other discussion.

My "analysis of Zionist 'humanity'"? What does that even mean?
