Keep that in mind, any time we try to do a good thing!

Collective punishment of whitey (america when it does bad things) is like secular original sin.

Like why does everyone obsess about the awful things israel does to palestine when israel is the only free society in that part of the world and is literally surrounded by lovely oppressive hellholes? There are muslims living in israel who prefer to live there. I think that matters a lot. We should hear more outrage on the left over the lovely oppressive hellholes these people are fleeing than israel imo.

I think the flagrant hypocrisy present in being gifted a country to make up for atrocities and oppression being committed to you, only to then turn around and commit atrocities and oppress the people who were already living in that same country, tends to be a bit of a sticking point for some.

Yeah I agree, israel did and continues to do lovely things, but their crimes pale in comparison to what many islamic theocracies do to their own people. If the western left is a supporter of human rights, shouldn't israel be like #50 instead of #1 on so many people's list of main offenders? It's a question of magnitude both in terms of the problems and the response to them.

In other words I think problems should be dealt with in order by how badly the victims are suffering and how numerous those victims are, rather than weighing irrelevant things like the hypocrisy or consistency inherent in the oppressor's actions.

Most critics of Israel also condemn Saudi Arabia. No other Western supported country supports a system of apartheid however.

The only good thing to come from all this is that I now know that Secular Humanist is a literal retard.

the hypocrisy charge also has its limits because zionism was created in response to western oppression. since a lot of anti-zionist critics focus on israel as a western-backed agent of imperialist powers, there's a bit of a conundrum. reductionist thinking gets people in trouble.

when israel is the only free society in that part of the world
well nah. lebanon is a multi-party democracy. a very fragile one that can go up in smoke in a flash, but it might be "freer" in some senses than many western countries. it's actually a pretty libertarian place. the government is so weak it's actually dysfunctional. just stay out of southern lebanon though.

just a quibble though

The US did bad things. Which we shouldn't feel bad about. Therefore Israel should feel free to gently caress Palestine? What bullshit tortured logic is this? This is just as stupid as 'the US did bad things so North Korea is good.'

Its kind of hypocritical to condemn israel if you're the US though.

Like, we got our land by winning wars etc, so did they.

Last time we got attacked we invaded 2 countries and practically destroyed one of them.

Time before that we destroyed their country, dropped atomic bombs on it, occupied it and destroyed its traditional culture.

"Don't defend yourself, Israel!" is a bit hypocritical.

Settlers and squatters are not defending themselves. They're no different than Russia moving the Ukrainian border fence in the middle of the night.

Europeans whine and have protests when the Jews in Israel stand up and defend themselves against the people trying to kill them, and Israel is like "get hosed, never again" and that's the end of it.

Ikr, it's like how I broke into this dude's house and then he asked me to leave and I said no and he started shoving me to get me to leave so I called my friends to come blast him with a shotgun until his body was an unrecognizable puddle of gore and somehow the police made me out to be the bad guy and people held vigils for the guy and all that poo poo. It's ridiculous. Thank HaShem that the Chosen ones aren't subjected to the same humiliation I had to suffer for their righteous war in defense of the master race.

Uh no, that's not what i was saying. I was saying that any time the US wants to use it's military, the "anti-war" left opposes it on the grounds that the US has used it's military to do a lot of poo poo things (in the past under completely different administration). The US isn't a monolith, but people treat it like one when it suits their politics. Bosnia is a good example of the US doing a good thing with it's military and getting utterly zero credit for it from people who are supposed to champion "human rights" (the anti-war left)

If you tear up your passport as soon as you enter the country and claim asylum they give you the extra special tour.

Also, those propaganda posters in the hotel are there as free gifts to tourists so feel free to grab one as a memento.
