What you mean back on the menu?

Pretty much genocide is what Israelis were doing the entire time. Now it's gonna be under the guise of a war. I feel bad for Palestinian civilians.

Setting up settlements on the westbank would be something you could consider genocide. Yet, especially Isreal probably knows a thing or two about genocide, considering both their ancient and recent history.

Their rough history and neighborhood does in no way justify the things they are doing but it very well explains them. No idea what Palestine was thinking though. Things are going to be ugly for them, like Sodom and Gomorrah getting doused in flames levels of ugly...

Hamas != Palestinians

I think it's very important to make that distinction.

Hamas wasn't thinking. Their shitty extremist ideology makes them believe that blowing themselves up will secure a place in heaven with Allah. They are delusional fanatics.

So Israel != IDF? I mean you're right but I thought sticking to one frame of reference (country) might be best when the thread was about them.

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 11 months ago

More like Israel != All Jews. Government obviously supports and orders the IDF around so they are as guilty as they are.

[-] 100_percent_a_bot@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah but then you'd be looking at the Israeli government - more specifically the government of Netanjahu - not Israel. The people are pretty divided about the settlement stuff and the IDF had a hard time getting new people into their ranks recently.

As opposed to previously, when Israel respected Palestinians and their borders.

This is a geopolitical version of "I'm not touching you" that involves sniping the limbs off of children.

It is antisemitic (under the IHRA definition) to suggest that Israel would commit war crimes

[-] qdJzXuisAndVQb2@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago

I just read it. Which part exactly (please quote) do you think supports what you claimed?

Here's the link to the definition, which includes some examples: What is antisemitism? About the IHRA non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism

I'll make it even easier. Here is the full text of the definition:

Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.

I think we can still point out israeli war crimes without being called antisemitic under that definition.

Being critical of the Israeli State and IDF is actually a very mainstream, well-accepted opinions in my experience. For instance Netanyahu's fascistic bullshit is widely criticized, even within Israel.

However, Hamas apology or antisemitic remarks are not acceptable; so whenever someone says "we can't even criticize Israel!! Freedom of speech!!1!!", I strongly suspect that they've done either of these things and got a righteous clapback.

We are at the point where most of the world wants to burn down "Palestine" to the ground.

[-] ahugenerd@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago

I think you misspelled "Russia".

[-] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 months ago

Eh they'll burn themselves to the ground soon...

[-] Sivalente@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Both is good.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
