A mild criticism of AIPAC is what got Ilhan Omar in so much trouble a few years ago (back when she was still willing to take public stands on things)

the real pisser about that talking point is that israel defending itself is what brought on this attack. the israeli concept of defense actively makes the civilian population of israel less safe.

the west loves eternal violence that isn't actually violent because it's self defense and thus lawful good in nature

Israel has already bombed Iran this year without any reprisal that we know of. Curious to know what Irans limit would be before they retaliate.

You can't really convert to Judaism

Depending on the color of your skin, you can technically even be born Jewish in a way that is not satisfying to Israel or Zionism

Trying Judaism to a white ethnostate was a terrible idea imo

something I read from last week that stuck with me, before all of this even popped off, was someone saying that creating an exception for anti-war beliefs in the event of genocide doesn't actually reduce wars, it just means you have to create the impression of an impending genocide before doing the thing you were always going to do

do you even really need to bring AIPAC into this if its gonna be a third rail? like the US happily supports all sorts of genocidal poo poo. we back the saudis to the hilt and they not only tried to starve an entire country to death (with US military assistance) but they, yknow, did 9/11 and no one gave a gently caress. the only difference is israel can, or at least could, pretend to be a liberal democracy while no one likes the house of saud that isn't cashing their checks

Haven't seen any reliable accounts of atrocities behind hostage taking and hostage killing tbh

The unprompted mass speculation on broad rape of all women in The Combat Zone is a weird fantasy some people seem insistent on sharing with us at every opportunity and I wish those people would shut the gently caress up and to please keep both hands on their desk where we can see them

nobody knows so you may as well not try both-sidsing a conflict where one side has been forced into a concentration camp for decades and murdered to such an extent that the median age in gaza is 18.

right-wing hack for the WaPo provides a boilerplate description of the rules-based international order and all the replies are about how he needs to gently caress off because Israel shouldn't be obliged to do any of it

While some people say "Death to America!" or "Death to Israel!" I am saying "Death to Western Civilization and the Rules-Based International Order"

Well, also the first to tbh.

Yes. Well I guess the border was already closed when the Israelis told people to go there.

And then they bombed the border crossing.
