"We want to do violence to install a fascist regime" and "we might have to use violence to stop those people from installing a fascist regime" are not the same thing.

Yes, that's why trying to get Congress members to support a ceasefire in Gaza has consisted of sitins and trying to get them to vote for a far right speaker of the house consisted of death threats. Shut the fuck up.

If you want to argue that a genocide isn't happening, you're free to call any University's Holocaust & Genocide studies faculty and get your ass handed to you. I'm not going to try to have an argument with the Lemmy equivalent of an alt-right clip chimp.

I shouldn't have given you the benefit of the doubt and tried to engage in good faith, my bad.

In short because the Israeli state wants to completely kill or displace the Palestinian population.

I'll let an Israeli Holocaust historian make the case instead of me.

This person regularly engages in insidious faux-intellectual Islamaphobia and then hides behind a "hurr durr I also think Netanyahu bad, why do you love hamas so much" when pressed at all. Every single time I've seen them call out a specific user for antisemitism it's been them conflating anti Zionism with antisemitism. It's simultaneously excusing genocide and watering down antisemitism to being a meaningless term.

It's blatant, embarassing, and morally bankrupt.

What are you talking about? The US sends billions to Israel every year. We support Israel because of a mix of wanting a permanent outpost in the middle east and Christian Zionism.

Same to you. At least I'm not carrying water for liberals excusing genocide.

I already adjusted for inflation. The actual number I got was 3.7 9/11s.

Preliminary reporting seems to suggest that it might actually be a mental illness thing. They reported to superiors that they were hearing voices and were discharged without any restriction on owning high caliber firearms.

I had to watch a couple videos to figure it out but it's F-ahh-t

Exactly like you would imagine someone from Boston pronouncing fart.

They really started padding it towards the end to get to 50 but the first half or so of this listicle has a lot of good examples, quite a few that I didn't know

Sometimes a soulless megacorp is the one in the right.

Fuck off with your obviously fake shit

Sorry, I assumed you were trying to say something that made any sense at all. Your objection is even dumber than I thought if you think the Democrats' only selling point being that they're not the Republicans is even a remotely controversial point on the left.

I'm perfectly willing to believe this was motivated by islamaphobia but this doesn't seem really credible when the only person reporting on it is a guy in Turkey who doesn't provide a source.

Edit: a reverse image search on the supposed note returns 0 hits.

Edit 2: op is an obvious shit stirrer, reported

What a terrible cold way to look at this tragedy. Anyway by my math using state populations it's about 1/10th of a 9/11.

Edit: if you use cities as the denominator, its about four 9/11s.

Fuck I hate that Vaush's reply made me laugh

No, what I'm arguing in favor of is doing something we actually we actually have the power to do. Of course Palestinians who want to leave should be able to do so, but unless you're suggesting that we should send a massive convoy of boats to pick up hundreds of thousands of fleeing Palestinians, we have no power to help them get to safety. Even if we could force Egypt to to accept refugees, we would have to get Israel to open the Rafah Crossing which would take as much time as it would to get them to stop bombing entirely.

If you think that leftists disliking Democrats is "leftist infighting" you have a fox news brain definition of what a leftist is.
