    holy shit this is a real life example of that recent joke tweet where the Israeli responds to the Indian guy's support with "no thanks don't need the help of some black guy"

    I feel bad for non-Fascist Indians who have to get associated with Hindu Fascists on the one hand and have to read through racist bullshit on the other.

        I heard a lot of unions in India are refusing to transport Israeli weapons/goods or something.

        There's a billion people in that country. Definitely huge amounts of bad people, but also huge amounts of good.

        Just in terms of pure numbers it's gotta dwarf the amount leftists in the US. But as a percentage of their total population they are severely outnumbered and probably face a steeper uphill battle to initiate change.

        I guarantee you Indians were taught to call people sir by people who view calling someone sir as acknowledgement that they are superior to you

            As an Englishman I know well the history. I've also known a hell of a lot of Indian people to know they are people of great character, intellect and culture.

            is this a bit or do you actually not realize how this comes off? the colonized don't need or want compliments from the colonizers. they want back what was stolen from them.

                    no I contributed my own relevant experience to the conversation. You say that Indians often casually call people sir. I have grown up in an area with a high proportion of Indian immigrants and known and worked with many both raised in the UK and recent immigrants and have not known them to call people sir. My point being is that it is clearly a more complicated cultural thing than you were saying

                    Tell you what next time I'm talking to an Indian I'll ask about it as they should have a better idea of their own culture than we have

                      As an indian , born and living in india , I feel indians only use sir under subjugation , however sometimes its out of respect ( like calling a scientist or someone sir out of respect for their contributions)

            In the past

            you say that like sir doesn't carry the same meaning in non-colonial bourgeois contexts. sir is for children and servants to address their 'betters', it's politeness in that the people involved conform to the behavior expected of their social positions

      Has anyone ever seen Ben Garrison and Netanyahu in the same room?

      Food for thought.

      Indians are literally rejoicing on the genocide , I read comments like , the gazan children deserve to die , they need to kill them all and even worse comments by indians ! I think they will do anything for those who hurt muslims !

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, Israel is a complete embarrassment to Jews. It feels like Israel is full of kapos that are just jealous of anglos for being "real" white people, and it makes almost every neo-nazi accusation against Jews look silly if there's a country of white sycophants that are Jewish.
