Keep in mind, under the U.S. House's new bill, criticizing this counts as antisemitism.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Shit is irrelevant. The House leadership is fucking corrupt and stupid.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 7 months ago (4 children)

This. Also that bill is unconstitutional

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Until a 5-4 Supreme Court decision decides it's ok actually.

Actually this being Israel it'll be a 7-2

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

The constitution is toilet paper for the ruling class.

They'll do whatever they want, whenever they want.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It is. But that won’t stop charges, fines, and jail for hundreds or thousands until someone rich enough to take it to the right court gets charged.

Nah, I doubt it will pass the senate and even if it does, hate speech is legal in the United States so if they are equating critiquing Israeli government with kkk and nazi propaganda I’m ok with that I guess.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Legal and constitutional are different things. Hate speech is, in fact, illegal in many places. But the test that would apply for constitutional muster seems to be clear and present danger. Criticizing a government would not likely clear that bar.

So is the massive.surveillance programs taking place for decades now. Oh and all those wars without Congressional approval.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Will you say that again when it passes the senate?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yes. They are not going to regulate my speech. Live free or die!

Edit: only online forum moderators can do that!

If something like this happens to my kid I sure as hell will radicalize. I wonder if Israel managed to kill more terrorists that they gave birth to, and call me sceptical but I think they did not.

[–] FrostyTrichs 56 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I doubt the Israeli government is going to lose any sleep over murdering more innocent people. It's disgusting.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They're fucking monsters. It seems like radicalizing the Palestinians is the point, so they don't have to talk to them

[–] FrostyTrichs 34 points 7 months ago

Radicalized Palestine is "justification" to continue the genocide. Self fulfilling prophecy for Israel.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

Lose some sleep ? They probably having a hard-on over it

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago

Netanyahu and the right need more terrorists in order to justify further land grabs, so yes, that's the goal.

Radicalize more people, so that those people strike back, then engage in war and take their land.

And yes, this is also how the Europeans and Americans took land from the natives during colonization.

Any Zionists/supporters of Israel please feel free to explain how this is in any way acceptable

October 7th or something

Remember that widely-spread narrative that it was a music festival for peace in Gaza? lol

“dO sTuPiD tHiNgS, WiN sTuPiD PriZeS”

Such a warmonger response.

I'm pretty sure it will be one of:

  • There were Hamas on the playground
  • There was a Hamas Tunnel under the playground.

There are only ever 3 claims in the hasbara toolkit - it's Hamas, it's a Hamas Tunnel, it's a Hamas Supporter - but they reserve the latter for people who criticise the actions of Israel.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

Commenters here clearly didn't study WW2 enough to understand why Israel has legal and moral right to ethnically cleanse the holy land!

This is utterly disgusting.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Let me guess, buying cake is a crime now too, punishable by death even?

What a bunch of party poopers. Genocidal ones at that.
