To be fair, it's not that easy to distinguish them just by looks.

(I would att a /s but somehow it doesn't fit because it's true)

Distinguish whom? Zios come from all over the planet to steal land and commit genocide. Most of them look nothing at all like palestinians.

Have you ever seen Israelis and actual Palestinians? Palestinians are pretty diverse themselves regarding skin color and looks. There are Palestinians with African features and dark skin, as well as ones with red hair and blue eyes. The region at the crossroads between Africa and Asia has always had different kinds of people moving there.

More than half of Jewish Israelis have ancestors who were expelled from Muslim and Arab countries. They don’t typically look like Northern Europeans, but more like Arabs.

I love that, no matter who we elect, there's never any reasonable movement on gun control.

(That's sarcasm. I don't love it.)

Biden was pretty shit on police accountability and gun control, but they did implement universal background checks for gun sales. Conversely, the previous Trump administration removed a portion of background checks for mental instability/incompetence.

So there is a pretty large measurable difference between who we elect on gun control.

I've been reading about dems making progress on "gun control" through the minimal "background checks" path since Clinton's brady bill passed in 1993 and supposedly gave us the same exact thing. But somehow here we are 32 years later celebrating it like its new and was ever going to make any dent in the real problem.

Harris was talking lovingly about her glock on the campaign trail. What a fine example for children everywhere. The centrists have never led the party anywhere in terms of gun control, and never will. They dont care to solve the problem.

It's almost like people keep electing the party who oppose gun control every other cycle, even worse in more than a decade we haven't even given the gun control party a full 50 seats on the senate.

I like this article where instead of typical Florida Man term they used Florida Jew.

[–] markko@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

They really take the Hannibal directive seriously

[–] strongarm@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is this a different guy from Florida Man?

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah, this is Florida Jew. Seriously though, it's an Ashkenazi Jew who confused Middle Eastern Jews for Palestinians.

We don't normally typify Florida Man as Jewish, but his being Jewish is kinda central to the incident.
