How much glue did someone huff before making this?

At first I thought "Nazis wouldn't take communist dick", but then I remembered Trump and Putin.

(The baby isn't Palestine, though, it's the global trade war Trump is starting or Elon Musk or JD Vance or something.)

There's a heart warming lack of libs both sideing in these comments, at least so far, though. So that's nice

It’s because the latest Reddit refugee wave have been exposed to uncensored news for more than five days, breaking a personal best.

When one side unironically complains that the other has kidnapped a soldier from his tank… We’ve been conditioned to ignore atrocities I think, as humans, because those of us who survive still have to live. And further out, people have no sympathy for people they’ve never been shown are people too. But the tank soldier kidnapping thing is just making fun of their own sympathizers to their face. I’m sure there’s a kind of person who picks up on these things and goes from being a “reasonable” “centrist” to looking at both sides and understanding what they’re really looking at. It’s really not complicated

Proud of you, new joiners, I see you.

Filed under four-panel memes I was actually hoping would be loss

So communism and nazism gave birth to Palestine? Wtf!? I'm having a really big mental block…

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah yes, because the eastern front never happened

First they came for the Communists.

And they made lots of love and had a baby called Palestine the end.

I saw this post right before I saw an article about Israel dropping a bomb on a school in Palestine

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If you replace the hammer and sickle for an American flag it makes sense .. if you replace the Palestinian flag for a star of David, it makes a lot of sense.

And to clarify, it doesn't mean I am antisemitic .... it means I am anti-zionist

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It’s best not to bring up the star of David at all, except in condemning the state of Israel for co-opting it for the purposes of Zionist propaganda.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago

I prefer the star of Ninja, it's less violent

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a controversial subject but it is one we should all have on a regular basis seeing as the debate is actually costing the lives of thousands of people ..... but I wanted to ask ....

Besides the star of David, how would you symbolize the zionist movement.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

As far as I know, there are no commonly recognized symbols for Zionism aside from the star of David, and this does a great disservice to non-Zionist Jews and anti-Zionist Jews, to the point putting them in danger, because it conflates Judaism and Zionism. You might use the Israeli flag, but again this is fraught because of its insidious co-optation of the star of David.

And they have a British nanny and French maid.

Fucking Sikes-Picot

But why two panels of fucking? That just feels a bit thirsty.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 17 hours ago

Maybe the first one implies it wasn't initially consensual?

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

If you prefer we could make it one wide panel

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The relationship between actual 1930s nazis and the arab world was kind of complex for obvious geopolitical reasons, but Palestinians pretty much generally denounced nazis. Also back when it might've been good strategy not to.

12,000 Palestinians fought against the Nazis in WWII

Couple quotes from the article

One has to wonder why no organization was ever established to commemorate the actions of these Palestinian volunteers. “Many of them were killed and many others are still listed as missing. But no memorial has ever been established for them,” says Abbasi. In fact, the records of the Palestinian volunteers, along with much of their personal archives and papers, have disappeared, much of it lost in the War of Independence.

So who were the Palestinians who volunteered for the British Army to fight the Nazis? Abbasi says they mostly came from the Palestinian elite and that, contrary to what many think, represented “an important and central part of the Palestinian public.” A part of the public that believed it was necessary to stand by Britain at this time, and to temporarily put aside the Palestinian national aspirations – akin to the Jewish idea to “fight Hitler as if there were no White Paper, and fight the White Paper as if there were no Hitler.”

It's an interesting choice to put the communist on top.

I wonder if there is anything deeper to nazism being shown as the mom here
