"literal autocratic theocratic terrorist state that kills its own people and brutally subjugates dissenters" An apt description of Israel.
It was said to me just two days ago:
Their comment was deleted by a mod, but I can read it in my replies. Here's the context:
The housing market is really tough right now. Guess I'll buy a tent from the dark web made from the skin of Middle Eastern children since I can't afford a proper home.
The evidence for Israel using hunger as a weapon of genocide is vast. There are thousands of trucks held up at the Gaza border. There have now been several flour massacres where Israel fires on citizens trying to get food from trucks.
On Dec. 21, the WHO said:
An unprecedented 93% of the population in Gaza is facing crisis levels of hunger, with insufficient food and high levels of malnutrition. At least 1 in 4 households are facing “catastrophic conditions”: experiencing an extreme lack of food and starvation and having resorted to selling off their possessions and other extreme measures to afford a simple meal. Starvation, destitution and death are evident.
On recent missions to north Gaza, WHO staff say that every single person they spoke to in Gaza is hungry. Wherever they went, including hospitals and emergency wards, people asked them for food. “We move around Gaza delivering medical supplies and people rush to our trucks hoping it’s food,” they said, calling it “an indicator of the desperation.”
Despite this, The Washington Post reported that "In February, just 98 trucks per day crossed into Gaza on average, according to the United Nations, compared with an average of 170 per day in January."
Senator Van Hollen visited the Rafah border crossing in January and observed:
I mean, first of all, we saw miles of trucks backed up at the border crossing and the very cumbersome and arbitrary inspection process.
So, for example, we visited a warehouse full of goods that had been rejected. This included maternity kits. This included water purification systems. Allegedly, these were somehow dual-use items, but no reasonable person could conclude that.
On 9 October 2023, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant in an Israeli Army ‘situation update’ advised that Israel was “imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly."
Don't believe their words? Look at their actions. Don't believe their actions, look at the results. Don't believe the results? Well, I can't make you believe your lying eyes.
I could care less what he feels as he snuffs out the lives of children in Gaza.
Last Monday, the U.S. State Department deemed Israel in compliance with President Biden’s landmark national security memorandum issued in February. That memorandum required that recipients of U.S. weapons must demonstrate compliance with international law, and that they not interfere with or block the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Yes, it's absolutely in his discretion, and the lies his State Department are telling to continue doing so are outrageous and absurd.
You think it's irresponsible to call this a genocide before the ICC comes to a verdict in 20 years?
lol, ok. you're deluded if you think trump is significantly worse than someone who has fueled a genocide for 6 months with all-you-can-drop bombs. it's like noting that jim jones always held doors open for people before the jonestown massacre. once you do genocide, you're irredeemably evil. people who quibble over whether trump or biden are worse have lost all perspective.
There are six people running for president, you don't have to vote for a genocidal geriatric.
Buddy, the Holocaust was only 80 years ago. You're going to get shit for that for many, many more years, and rightfully so. In as much as Israel has used the Holocaust as a pretext for apartheid and genocide, Palestinians are still paying the price of your original sin to this day. And now you're supporting another genocide. Don't want to be called Nazis? Stop being Nazis.
Check my history, I'm rabidly anti-Zionist, but I don't support banning people for bad opinions. I would rather have robust, respectul discourse, particularly when someone presents a view that is not particularly fringe, especially for an Israeli. Let them make their case.
It would be different if this was a community specifically for anti-Zionists, but c/world should be a place for healthy debate between people from all different viewpoints.
It's quite easy to scroll past content you don't want to engage with or even block certain users for yourself. No need for some mod to decide what opinions are and are not OK.
