The zionist nazi state has no right to exist. Just like nazi Germany had no right to exist. A state built on ethnic cleansing, stealing peoples land and their massacre is a state which should not exist.

Yeah we broke the majority last year

I has no sympathy towards the genocidal ideology of zionism.

But I'm definitely sympathic to people who are born in palestine and resist the ongoing genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc. That's brave regardless of their "religion" or lack thereof.

Still too high but it isn’t easy to undo decades of brainwashing

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Brainwashing or just nasty people?

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Brainwashing. Trying to understand the Palestine- Israel situation was something I casually worked at, off and on, for twelve years, which is 1000x more effort than most Americans put into it. I'd get about six hours into trying to untangle the propaganda and get what I felt was an accurate portrayal of the truth using what I felt were high factuality, unbiased sources and just get nowhere. I got as far as understanding that Israel is an authoritarian police/ethnostate, but I never had so clear of a picture of the situation as I do now. Israel has removed all doubt for me that they're proudly undertaking a project of genocide.

No doubt about the genocide.

Maybe I am unfairly judging Americans who support Israel or look down on Palestinians.

But I have so much anger about that I cannot be impartial. Most Americans have had hints they ignore, deliberately. I can’t forgive that

Most people have a very surface level understanding of various political issues. There's only so many hours in a day, and people choose to use them in different ways. I can't really blame them for that. I also can't blame them for the fact that we're probably one of the most heavily propagandized peoples on earth, with Fox and the right wing news networks being the crowning jewel of such. I can see how it'd be easy to take your infotainment of Jesse Waters smugly "owning" Nancy Pelosi over some stupid fucking bullshit she said or did without ever hearing a real dissenting voice and just stop there. I can't agree with it, but a lot of the normies I know have made it clear to me that I'm a special case in that regard.

All I know is that if I can blame the average Russian, German, Brit, Serbian, Hutu etc for bad things in history. No force on earth is going to have me give Americans a pass. Especially after the majority of them supported the wars in the Middle East.

It’s a genocide, the clues are everywhere. It’s not an American thing that makes it unique. There are shitty people everywhere mixed in with decent folks.

And it’s fine to not protest or just be quiet. Sometimes that is all one can do. It’s ok to think one is powerless to oppose such things. This is the case for many.

But actual support that is voluntary? No

And I think there is some overlap between our two views. Many of the people who I would give a pass to, are many of the people you talk about

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago

Extreme, overt brainwashing.

And this is a country whose people have been fed heavily pro-Israel propaganda since the day they were born. What does the rest of the world think

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Pump those numbers down. Those are rookie numbers.

[–] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess that's what happens when you're a piece of shit like Isreal seems to be.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Hey, that's not nice, the shit is insulted...

No but really, the Israeli government is absolutely the shit of shits.

[–] otto@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)
