      There’s a heart warming lack of libs both sideing in these comments, at least so far, though. So that’s nice

        It’s because the latest Reddit refugee wave have been exposed to uncensored news for more than five days, breaking a personal best.

        When one side unironically complains that the other has kidnapped a soldier from his tank… We’ve been conditioned to ignore atrocities I think, as humans, because those of us who survive still have to live. And further out, people have no sympathy for people they’ve never been shown are people too. But the tank soldier kidnapping thing is just making fun of their own sympathizers to their face. I’m sure there’s a kind of person who picks up on these things and goes from being a “reasonable” “centrist” to looking at both sides and understanding what they’re really looking at. It’s really not complicated

        Proud of you, new joiners, I see you.

    If you replace the hammer and sickle for an American flag it makes sense … if you replace the Palestinian flag for a star of David, it makes a lot of sense.

    And to clarify, it doesn’t mean I am antisemitic … it means I am anti-zionist

      It’s best not to bring up the star of David at all, except in condemning the state of Israel for co-opting it for the purposes of Zionist propaganda.

        It’s a controversial subject but it is one we should all have on a regular basis seeing as the debate is actually costing the lives of thousands of people … but I wanted to ask …

        Besides the star of David, how would you symbolize the zionist movement.

          As far as I know, there are no commonly recognized symbols for Zionism aside from the star of David, and this does a great disservice to non-Zionist Jews and anti-Zionist Jews, to the point putting them in danger, because it conflates Judaism and Zionism. You might use the Israeli flag, but again this is fraught because of its insidious co-optation of the star of David.

    I saw this post right before I saw an article about Israel dropping a bomb on a school in Palestine

        Why doesn’t the US army just drop a JDAM on an elementary school when there’s an active shooter in there?

          Significant threat

          And what are you supposed to do? Why should you play fair when your enemies don’t

    At first I thought “Nazis wouldn’t take communist dick”, but then I remembered Trump and Putin.

    (The baby isn’t Palestine, though, it’s the global trade war Trump is starting or Elon Musk or JD Vance or something.)
