Life as a genocidal settler-colony can be hard. You just want to quietly go about your day, exterminating the natives to fulfil your Biblical prophecy of Disney Land Gaza, but you keep running into problems like "international law" and "public opinion".

Israel was close to clearing the skeletal population out of Gaza when they heard something truly terrifying is on its way. No, not the asteroid at the edge of the solar system that may or may not be an earthbound alien mothership! I'm talking about something much scarier: international wanted terrorist Greta Thunberg and her second-in-command Liam Cunningham, a fearsome warrior who was forged in the fires of Westeros. The pair are travelling aboard a flotilla of... humanitarian aid ships.

As you can imagine, the 4"10 autistic girl and her loyal assistant strike fear into the heart of every IDF soldier. The situation could only be scarier if Ms Rachel was aboard one of those vessels, but that doesn't bear thinking about. Israeli drone operatives are in a difficult position: if they do what they want to the Freedom Flotilla, they could find themselves charged with "war crimes", and if they allow the boats to get through, it will set the precedent that Palestinians eat. As you can imagine, Israeli strategists are in panic mode, trying to figure out the best way forward.

The average Gazan might have more Jewish blood than the average settler.

The First PM of Israel David Ben-Gurion said that Palestinians were descended from pre-Roman Jews which converted to Islam.

Later on he started walking that stuff back when the Hasbara kicked in.

Nah bro the Israelites were white people with blue eyes and auburn hair like Jesus Harold Christ. Then Muhammad went and moved in with his Arab followers and all the Jews ended up in Germany, Poland, Russia and the eastern US.

there was lots of intermixing in the Jewish diaspora, but genetic tests still show that Palestinians and Jews are related.

I know there was, but it's always been a ridiculous myth that the people who can trace their ancestry to the same country 50 generations back have less claim to it than some mfs because "their ancestors" were expelled. No they fucking weren't, some moved, and a ton of the ancestors of these euros were just converts, just as Palestinian muslims were converts (and some remained jewish, only to not count as a true jews for these fucking settlers).

using that logic we are all entitled to real estate in Africa.

just saying that there's a bit of poetic tragedy, where the Israelites who left thousands of years ago, with strong intermixing, are now killing the ones who stayed.

To quote an anti semetic leader my country once had

„ I decide who is and isn’t a Jew“ Seems to be Israel’s modus operandi

Sons of Israel and sons of Ishmael.

Definitly when arabs took control of jerusalem from thr byzantine. There was no evidence of a progrom, many jews simply converted and got married with the aettlers

Taking in consideration the position of the majority of Jewish leaders for the past 5 decades can be considered offensive to say.

[–] RedditcanFitself@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I really hope nothing bad comes to them, but a regime that sees nothing wrong in murdering children and starving off civilians doesn't respect laws it fears strength and if no nation shows Israel strength they would keep on pushing down the bar.

Israel facing huge dilemma over whether to assassinate Liam and Greta

Ah yes, one of those moral dilemmas where if you are unsure what the right answer is, it shows you're devoid of morality. Like the trolley problem but the mainline was clear to begin with and you doing literally nothing would have saved lives, but you're given the option to switch the train's path onto a track full of brown people and those who think brown people are people.

It’s true that if they martyr her the public will go nuts.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not the average German. My countrymen have turned into bloodthirsty monsters again for the most part. :( I honestly wish upon us what Ukraine is suffering right now - instead of having Ukraine suffer that - so our "peace lover" shitpiles get a reality check.

[–] Piperpiper1@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 days ago

The way Europe is just abandoning Ukraine is like how Arab leaders abandoned Palestine.

The enemy (in your case: Russia) isn't going to stop at Ukraine. I think they're serious about taking 1/3 of Ukraine.

Genuinely wish every other western country (and Poland) suffers what Ukraine is suffering. Those Ukrainians don't deserve an ounce of what they're getting.
