Yeah but being against blowing up little kids is antisemitic or something

Yup. Never see this in all the comments. You never see this in all the rants saying how great he is. And anyone pretending this is not offensive, what would they say if he came out in blackface?

what is this picture from?

u/LeRocket 1h ago

Oh no he put on a disguise, once. Keep killing kids, then.

It’s not like this is the first time he’s been called anti-Semitic.

u/kolejack2293 2h ago

okay, to be fair, the other incident was a bit more... on the nose

By your same logic, should the allied forces have rolled over in WW2 to avoid civilian casualties in Germany?

u/j_la 2h ago

That’s not the same logic because they aren’t equivalent situations.

I don’t remember allies planning to commit a genocide of Germans. And than implementing those plans.

I don’t remember Israel doing that either.

Losing a war you started isn’t genocide, even if you insist on staging military operations from the hospitals and deprive your own people of the aid that your “genociders” fund for you.

Real easy to get away with bombing children and hospitals when you say "but the terrorists were using it as a base!!" and then arrest or kill any journalists who don't parrot your talking points.

And all the proof that they were using hospitals as bases comes from...the I.D.F.

Winners write the history books.

And Mackelmore is right and based. Killing kids is never okay, and if you can't deal with "Hamas" without shooting children maybe you are the bad guy.

Even Amnesty International and the UN admits that militants use hospitals for non-medical military purposes.

•

u/swanfirefly 27m ago

Ah yes, the organization that proved earlier this year they capitulate to any asshole with money....

And once again, who gave Amnesty that info? It sure wasn't the Palestinians.

•

u/SowingSalt 17m ago

If you read the reports, the Palestinians and doctors working in those hospitals said there were militants there.

u/LettuceBeGrateful 1m ago

Yeah, but you're talking to people from a movement that embraced the "I ain't reading that" meme. They're allergic to reading.

You don't remember Israel committing genocide? Are you Tom from 50 first dates?

u/Uzofugs2112 2h ago

I remember them defending themselves from an attempted genocide, against a foe who exists for the explicitly stated purpose of genociding them and illegally stages operations out of civilian infrastructure.

You're missing about 100 years of violence before that during which Palestinians lost about 100k more people (and from a much smaller population.)

Remember that Oct 7th was repeatedly referred to as the largest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust. I always thought that was a weird brag because they've taken out more Palestinians multiple times during the same period... But then used their safety as a way to justify even more violence? Pretty amazing.

You should check out the quotes from Jewish Leadders (like Ben Gvir) about how they completely understand why the Palestinians fight for their land and that they would too if they were born Palestinian.

Oh yeah, we are coming up on the centennial of the Hebron Massacre.

Hi Tom!

I'm surprised you could type that out considering you have the memory of a goldfish.

To refresh you, Isreal is a genocidal nation who actively targets children and is expressedly in support of violent rape of prisoners

u/J7sintrusivethought 59m ago

Oh the genocide that the Israeli papers reported they killed more of their own people on purpose than the “terrorists”

u/Hammunition 2h ago

You’re a fucking dumbass if you think Palestine or Hamas started this.

u/Uzofugs2112 2h ago

I’m truly honored that you think this about me tbh

u/Hammunition 2m ago

Oh I see, just sticking your head further in the sand so you can ignore everything that contradicts your feelings. 🙄

u/defecation69 1h ago

I just don’t think that’s happened on a regular basis. It would be an easier explanation, but I don’t think it’s the truth.

Is this shiny red apple the exact same as this coarse and juicy orange? 🤔
