Couldn't they frame this without the angry bearded Arab vs smiling white woman?

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's just resting beard face.

[–] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

That is a good beard though

He doesn't really look angry to me. And he does have a beard and is Arab so those seem like things that will be in every picture of him.

I'm sure hos photo is from the wanted list and hers is from her bio somewhere, but the juxtaposition just serves to magnify the point.

[–] Lojcs@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is not an image that just comes up if you search him. Oop chose to have this image instead of him in a suit with a kept beard.

Edit: also amplify which fucking point, that people with messy facial hair in headscarves are terrorists?

Edit 2: look at my bias with the messy part, sub in 'longer'

Ex-wife hated my beard, said it made me look always angry. Still don't think the beard was the issue.

Add to that ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan who has already been sanctioned by the US back in February for the crime of issuing an arrest warrant for a war criminal.

Guy on the left is an (ostensible) ally of Israel

Woman on the right is not.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

He cut off Iran's supply to Hasbulla in Lebanon, cut off Iran's reach to Israel, gave Israel extra strategic lands, let Israel destroy all previous regime's Russian/Iranian military equipments and now he has announced normalizing relations with Israel.

Then US immediately rewarded him with investments and aid contracts from the other dictatorship gulf countries, who are good dictatorships btw they say USA Good. They invest in the US, ONLY allowed to buy US defense contracts, tie their currencies to the US dollar ONLY and basically keep all their country resources under the exploitation of the US for the mere beautiful American/Western-values sponsored cost of emprovishing and beheading their citziens every fucking month for talking on twitterz and depriving them of human rights :D

Sanctioning albanese is an abomination.

it's not true to say al jolani was the founder of al qaeda. He was a part of jabhat al nusra which was affiliated with al qaeda. They split over disagreements and actually wiped al qaeda from Syria.

Whether he's actually a terrorist is hard to say because the US designates any group it doesnt like as that.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Also, sometimes "terrorists" give up their armed struggle. That's something that should be encouraged. If you go with the idea of "once a terrorist, always a terrorist" then there's no incentive for so-called "terrorists" to ever change their ways.

And, from a more practical matter, he's in charge of Syria now. If the international community wants Syrians to be free, happy and healthy they have to try to work with him. If they cut off all aid to Syria and refuse to work with him, then the only people who will work with him are all the various bad actors of the region. They shouldn't necessarily fully trust him, but they should give him an opportunity to show he has the best interests of the Syrian people at heart.

They split over disagreements

"Listen, are we proxies of the CIA or not, guys?"

Whether he’s actually a terrorist is hard to say

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_al-Sharaa#War_crimes_of_al-Nusra_(2012%E2%80%932016)

Under al-Shara'a's leadership, al-Nusra Front and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham perpetrated a series of war crimes, suicide bombings, forced conversions, ethnic cleansing and sectarian massacres against Syria's Christian, Alawite, Shia and Druze minorities. These included the January 2012 al-Midan bombing, which killed 26 people and wounded 63.

ISIS are the good guys now.

We have always been at war with the UN Special Rapporteur.

War is Peace.

And why are the pictures relevant? Because Middle Eastern men are terrorists by default, and attractive women are pure of heart?

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Jolani is literally an Al Qaeda commander who is now the dictator, sorry, President of Syria. His thugs are massacring Christians, Druze and Alawites in the same way as his ISIS brothers were doing.

But he is now the darling of the West because he isn't pro Palestinian and kisses Trumps ring.

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What your saying isn't true.

  1. He was an al qaeda affiliate, he later wiped al qaeda from Syria with his group.

  2. There hasn't been a massacre of Christians as you espouse. There was some aggressive incidents caused by a few but Jolani has been deploying his army to safe guard Christians and their church's.

  3. There was 1 incident of an alawaite massacre after which he sent troops to calm things down. And promised to take those to account, we will see if he fulfills this promise.

Other fights with alwaites are with old regime hold outs.

No, he has not been going around massacring people ISIS as you espouse.

  1. Remains to be seen if he will be pro palestine or not. Israel seems to have been on edge since he's taken power.

The truth is, it is too early to tell what type Jolani will be.

asside, checked ADL, they treat her as if she's Hitler incarnate for talking truth, then checked Elon Musk's page on the ADL, practically nothing, no mention of his Hitler salutes, or that his AI is promoting Hitler and attacking jews.

ADL is a fucking joke

[–] tektite@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago

ADL put spez on their tech advisory board apparently back in 2017. So I guess they've been a fucking joke for a while.

Wow, let's top discrimination by being racist.

Both can be good or bad independent of their outward appearance.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago (6 children)

He's projecting the same orientalism back at the empire to illustrate a point. It was never about wearing a beard. Or even about joining ISIS.

It was about not being a politically advantageous ally to the US empire.

Yeah the way that it's positioned, as though through image alone she is self evidently less dangerous than he is, is definitely islamophobic & racist.

I wish the left could have gotten its shit together last November.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (7 children)

The Democratic party's leadership makes that much more difficult than it needs to be and they will keep blowing winnable elections for the rest of us until they are removed from power

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 1 week ago

The Democratic party isn't the left.

What does the left have to do with it?

[–] Grizzlyboy@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Instead of taking responsibility for how fucking dumb the average American is, they’ll rather blame one side for everything.

“The left didn’t get their shit together, I’m voting for the right!”

Even if they know the extreme right leaning fascist Republican Party will fuck over everyone who isn’t white, straight, male and rich. How insanely evil and/or dumb do you have to be to think like that?

that kind of post always seem to me like "let me cherry-pick my context to complain about something without providing the real full context"

[–] McDropout@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I mean ISIS and Al Qaeda didn’t attack Israel once. I wonder who funds them. :-)

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Fuck america & tRump in particular
