    Oh no, he was slammed??! Was he also owned, sent a message, taken to task, and other things that mean someone said something that he ignored and went right back to what he was doing?

    tldr; I’m so tired of these Wrestlemania headlines of completely consequence free replies to people being terrible. Wake us when any bad person experiences anything approaching accountability.

      Based on the polling I’ve seen, I have zero doubt the majority of Israelis would approve of mass murdering their adversaries in gas chambers, and with zero self-awareness of how their psychopathy is identical to the nazis.

        Right now they are all hyped up about nooses and lynching. But this is after having engaged in one of the most concentrated military campaigns in human history against a largely civilian population.

    Israel does not have a right to exist.

    Israel has a right to go fuck itself right in the ass with a grenade launcher.

      Israel does not have a right to exist.

      This is like saying unions don’t have the right to exist because of police unions. Don’t let the existence of corruption rob an entire group of the right to exist. If Israel didn’t exist, every country would go right back to treating Jews the way they’ve always treated them. Demand the downfall of the ethnonationalists, not the nations being used to justify ethnonationalism.

        Bull fucking shit. Israel is stolen land, taken during the Nakba after Palestinians were kind enough to welcome Jewish refugees from Europe. It has no fucking right to exist any more than the US or any other conquering nation does.

            Pedantic argument. There’s no specific date to “reset”. You and I are both well aware of who is an oppressor and who the land was stolen from.

                The fucking Palestinians with genetic markers VERIFIABLY TRACEABLE back 2000 yrs. Did you know most Israelis are allergic to the native olive trees and most Palestinians aren’t? That’s because most Israelis are GENETICALLY EUROPEAN.

                  That’s very interesting, I didn’t know that.

                  If I’m following correctly, the solution would be to redraw the borders of the region and only permit those without an olive tree allergy, through genetic testing? I don’t think that’s really effective because it’d be a lot of work and probably result in a lot of false positives and false negatives. Is there another way we can identify who actually belongs there? What do we do with the rest of them?

        What a fucking joke. The world persecuted Jews is the reason they have to genocide, ethnically cleanse, and colonize Palestine?

        Do Palestinians get to choose a people to do that to? When do we stop with this stupid loop?

        Terrible example! Israel is intertwined with the worst most violent and intrusive components of policing. They use Palestine as a laboratory to run experiments about how to oppress people. A key component of a global network of repression and imiseration. It is one of the ways the evil project is insinuated into everybody’s lives, even if you do not consider Arabs to be full humans. Which is a required assumption to be writing comments such as the above.

        Abolish the police and abolish Israel.

      It’s a literal bonfire of the vanities. The bigotry, the smugness, and the violence are all part of a self-mythologizing narrative used to build support for increasingly awful people. Guys like Ben-Gvir are in power precisely because they’re the biggest assholes the country has to offer. They draw in other assholes like a magnet and build a movement based on that collective awfulness, even as their country self-destructs and takes out every neighbor in a 500 mile radius.

        While the comment may be a little extreme, it’s important to note that all of the Israeli government’s actions have a rock solid 80% and higher approval rate from the Israeli people.

        I certainly wouldn’t say the 20% should die just because most of their neighbours are some of the most awful people to ever be born. But I think this context may shift some views of comments like this one.

          Dont forget they have mandatory military service with almost nil resistance. There are very few actual civilians in israel. All adults are implicated, more so than even in the USA or almost anywhere else on earth.

          Which is a claim they falsely make about Palestinians. And israel does not spare the children in this characterization, even while they breed and raise their own children to be war fodder and terrorists.

          After 9/11, many Americans supported the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and were making jokes about nuking them (a country that had nothing to do with the attack, by the way).
          So were Americans fair targets?

          Israelis are fed the with continuous far-right BS propaganda. I bet they believe Lebanese pray for their annihilation. This is yet another proof that controlling media work, and therefore democracies cannot function if media are not independent. No country, no people is safe for that.

    Remember that the Greater Israel Project is about the chosen ones owning most of the land in the Middle East and genociding the current occupants. Palestine is the most immediate goal of the project, but the Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, etc. are also part of the plan.
