That's good to know about the churches! I've only ever been to Israel so I'm still learning about the other countries in the area. My only context has been "you're jewish and you're not allowed to live there" which I'm sure is an oversimplification (I hope).

yeah we don't have special protections but I understand folks get frustrated with coordinated efforts to shut down any reasonable criticism of israel. just getting a little nervous here.

naw it's not antisemitic to feel weird about folks who want a literal messiah to show up and/or have the 3rd temple built anytime soonGoutPatrol posted:Yes my sister also did it because hey, free trip. She said there wasn't a hard sell on actually moving there, but more like making sure you bring back a positive picture of, like, the IDF. i had a nice time on the 30yo+ trip. my old brain could spot the propaganda better and i was able to be loudly gay and leftist at everyone. squeezing money from sheldon's withered body felt arguably ethical Lazy_Liberal fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Apr 4, 2023 |

edit: ^^^ also what they said ^^^ I don't think I ever noticed before the magnitude of obfuscation and media focus on what i consider pretty unnecessary topics in the bigger picture. It feels like half the poo poo I see is clickbait about beheaded barbecued babies or evil tunnel networks. can't everyone just accept that many babies have been killed and tunnels exist and get back to working for peace?? can we please stop getting lost in the details to try and justify daily mass murders?? anyways I'm still tired. Hoping, against all odds, that the ceasefire holds and is extended indefinitely. Lazy_Liberal fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Nov 23, 2023 |

what's the main issue with briahna joy gray's post? something about victims of sexual violence being silenced by the israeli govt or what? batya ungar-sargon has been saying ghoulish things for years. or is jayapal being called a shithead?

Flopsy posted:She's saying Hamas doesn't use systematic rape as a means of war. And that all other testimony and forensic evidence otherwise is suspect. Oh, I'm just reading it as a correction regarding the meaning of "believe women" being misused by Ungar-Sargon as some anti woke gotcha. I don't know too much about what sexual violence occured on 10/7. I'm assuming there was some since it was male fighters and that's what they tend to do. As important as getting a clear idea of what happened on 10/7 is, I still think media arguments about rape and baby beheadings distracts from the bigger picture of ending systematic and direct violence towards people stuck in Gaza. like even if every hamas guy was a dick-out robocop alleyway rapist, the ongoing violence against folks in gaza still isn't justified so i'm like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lazy_Liberal fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Dec 5, 2023 |

Flopsy posted:I don't think any of the violance is justified because both countries are at the mercy of their lovely governments but I especially hate it when war crimes are played down to make the other side look less dogshit. I can appreciate that, thanks for clarifying. I guess I take it for granted that every war is mostly war crimes but then I might be pessimistic. I don't want any acts of violence to be hidden or understated, especially with the intention of maintaining some "this side does good war, this side does bad war" false binary.

even if jews weren't connected to the land by blood, a lot of us would still argue connection to the land through history. that said, folks who have been living there for centuries can say the same thing so it doesn't matter who is "indigenous" by virtue of who was there first. there's also multiple definitions for what indigeneity means so like come on now.

not a value-add posted:I don’t understand how someone could join the armed forces of whatever nation they grew up in and not care about protecting citizens from harm. Imagine your parents getting kidnapped and instead of using intel for a rescue attempt your “defense force” uses the grid to incinerate them, all so they could kill a few extra five year olds sheltering in the basement. The conduct of the IDF is just so far gone from anything I’ve ever seen. America should’ve pulled the plug on this poo poo long ago. it's worth watching interviews from American soldiers in Vietnam. if you can't find "the enemy," you kill the people you can find (five year olds).

yeah, if we learned anything from the shoah on this day of remembrance, it's about the banality of evil and how any society is capable of committing atrocities with the right ingredients.
