    Shouldn’t that be the Confederate flag and the Israeli flag? They’re actually on the same side and both support killing minorities and taking native land.

        A lot of racists are also Zionists because even though they hate Jews, they hate Arabs and Muslims more.

          No, a lot of racists are also Zionists because they want the Jews to go somewhere else like Israel

          Couple that with lots of Evangelical Christians (mostly USA) who think if the Jews all return to Israel it will usher in the rapture and they’ll spend eternity in pure ecstasy.

          It’s weird living on a planet with so much delusion. I wonder if alien species went through this and if they’re ok now

            An essential part of the end times myth is the reconstruction of the temple on the site that is currently occupied by a historically significant mosque. The evangelical support of Israel is entirely based around trying to force the prerequisites for Armageddon so they can enter the kingdom of heaven.

            Never mind that only 144 thousand devout Jewish people are meant to end up there or that most of what they’re using as a basis for this was some guy’s coded bashing of Nero after getting exiled by him.

            I think that’s a factor as well as the rapture bs, but from what I’ve seen, this type of people tend to be even more racist towards Palestinians.

      that would seem to be more accurate.

      to be fair, the ol’ star spangled banner would also fit that heuristic.

    You support Palestine because you believe they are the victims of genocide.

    I support Palestine because I believe they are the perpetrators of genocide.

    We are not the same.

          You sent this comment almost exactly one day after I posted it. I’m assuming you’re talking about this article?

          https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/10/20/israel-ceasefire-resume-airstrikes-gaza/86796955007/

          Tragic but much better than what we had before. At least some aid is allowed to trickle in now and much less violence is going on.

          But back to my point, if you ask some immigrants on their politics, even illegal immigrants, they’ll tell you that they’re staunch conservatives. I’m not saying all of them are, just that there are a shocking number of them. Anecdotally, I know of 3 undocumented individuals and 2/3 are conservatives who believe in building the border wall.

            I wasn’t disagreeing with you but simply pointing out that reality didn’t match the rhetoric about “the war.”

            Yes, Dotard Trump is a liar.

            Yes, minorities stupidly lean conservative.

      I didn’t even know people were linking to external images here, especially to enshittified services. Figured everyone would download and reupload to post properly, instead of make their posts rely on a centralised server ykwim

        You can surely just upload the picture to Lemmy? Then it’s immune to some corporation deciding not to host it any more five years from now.

          my instance limits media sizes

          edit: i regularly take steps to try to compress an image to a size that works. but have limited time, post from mobile, and this is the shitpost community i post to for fun in my free time. sometimes it doesn’t get done, sorry.

    Reminds me that, at least according to Wikipedia, one of the biggest allies of the ‘Aryan Brotherhood’ US prison gang is none other than… the Mexican mafia.
