    It's super cool that for years I was called a "genocide denier" for not acknowledging crimes fabricated by a religious fanatic, an Australian MIC-backed think tank, and some literal CIA contractors but now these people can look at video of piles of dead children and say "not genocide".

    Maybe you can thrive by giving Palestinians citizenship and live in harmony instead of slaughtering them and stealing their things. Just a suggestion...

    I understand that launching rockets into populated areas to kill people is part of a national pasttime. However over a long time of these slaughter campaigns, the Palestinian people living in those conditions get kind of riled up and then go out to try to kill you. It's almost as if actions have consequences. Maybe one day you'll understand...

    "when we're being gaslit, told we're committing genocide"

    Do they honestly think they aren't? Like, how are they justifying this to themselves? That they are performing some humanitarian service for the people of Gaza and will be celebrated for it? They literally have other Israelis saying they are doing those things. "Influencers" are making footage making fun of people for not having water. I do not understand how you can be so willfully ignorant.

    It makes less sense to me than the Israelis who are upfront about being genocidal fascists. Sure they are awful people, but at least they admit it.

      The original poster claims that we’re accusing Jews in general of this crime. We are not; we know that plenty of anticolonial Jews find the Zionist ruling class’s atrocities and its explicitly stated goal of emptying Gaza abhorrent.

      Indeed, anticolonial Jews may well be the harshest opponents of this class. Never underestimate the power of the black sheep effect.

        Checks out - the most vocal anti-zionists I know are the kids of a Palestinian Jew who was kicked out in 1947.

          "1947" what is this year you speak of, I have not heard of it. Didn't you know all history in that region started on October 7th, 2023. Nothing ever occured before that.

        Aa, thank you for the clarification. I wasn't sure because it could have gone either way, as they refer to themselves collectively as a nation (presumably Israel) at one point too.

        But yes, fully agree, anti-Zionist Jews have been tremendous allies to the Palestinian cause. Also probably Israel's greatest thorn-in-the-side, because they neuter the Zionist "any criticism of us is antisemitic" angle. While some antisemites seem to slip in, and should be deal with immediately, by and large the protests I have been involved in and seen are not remotely.

        The Pax Americana propaganda did use use this redefinition trick to call Venezuelan Socialist President Maduro a hypocrite through the misinterpretation of Maduro's speech where Maduro criticize Israel's war crimes against Gaza and then associate the sanctions against Venezuelans to the persecution of Jews.

      You're not wrong, but often proxies end up having outsized influence on their sponsors.

        One example of this is the deep state/ settler sympathizers trying to off de Gaulle because he was about to "lose" Algeria.

    “I’m simply on my grindset”- dude that is being called a genocidal freak for ‘no big deal’-ing the murder of hundreds of innocents and literal children
