I wonder if there is a term for this.

    The term is “fucking traitor that needs to be censured and primaries”. Get this MAGAt wannabe out of office, but first get him out of any democratic positions/appointments.

    Same logic evangelical Christians use to oppress LGBTQ folks here at home, Chuck. But you knew that, which is why you don’t care about that either, beyond your performative outrage to get votes.

    These crusty old dirt worshipers need to go. Every last one of them.

    I recently did some wiki digging into the formation of Israel and it legitimately surprised me how illegitimate the country is. They were given land (not a state) and welcomed by Palestinians, then they flipped their shit over time and took everything. They were not oppressed but radicalized over imaginary oppression and used it as a tool to oppress Palestine.

    The whole world is complicit or gaslit into buying this garbage. Insane that the two state solution is seen as compromise to Palestinians when it should be considered the only compromise given to Israel.

      When I started to learn about it i thought it was the first account I had heard of documenting precisely why a country should never allow unchecked immigration… -Not that the palestinians were given much of a choice by their british colonizers.

      This prompted me to do a wiki dig. TIL Israel was founded by an actual Jewish Nazi group and they even named a military ribbon after them.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(militant_group)?wprov=sfla1

      In April 1948, Lehi and the Irgun were jointly responsible for the massacre in Deir Yassin of at least 107 Palestinian Arab villagers, including women and children. Lehi assassinated Lord Moyne, British Minister Resident in the Middle East, and made many other attacks on the British in Palestine. On 29 May 1948, the government of Israel, having inducted its activist members into the Israel Defense Forces, formally disbanded Lehi, though some of its members carried out one more terrorist act, the assassination of Folke Bernadotte some months later, an act condemned by Bernadotte’s replacement as mediator, Ralph Bunche. After the assassination, the new Israeli government declared Lehi a terrorist organization, arresting some 200 members and convicting some of the leaders. Just before the first Israeli elections in January 1949, a general amnesty to Lehi members was granted by the government. In 1980, Israel instituted a military decoration, an “award for activity in the struggle for the establishment of Israel”, the Lehi ribbon. Former Lehi leader Yitzhak Shamir became Prime Minister of Israel in 1983.

        Israel wants to be a Jewish state, so secular humanism wouldn’t be a compatible policy they’d agree to.

        I don’t think there is a two state solution because of how intertwined the West Bank is.

        I don’t think there is a one state solution because of how much all the sides hate eachother.

        The whole area is a festering wound on the face of our common humanity. We need to administer antibiotic and depose the leaders who spread hate in the area from within and from the outside like Schumer here. “They don’t believe in the Torah”, why should any book have final say?

        Edit: I have no idea why you’re getting downvoted. I wish what you were saying was possible. In any sane country it would be reasonable.

      Jews are very divided on Israel in general and heartbreakingly on whether or not it’s cool to genocide. Chuck is in the genocide is cool as long as it’s not against Jewish people camp, many of us stand firm on our no genocide no matter what. He’s also a senator so represents all living in NY state, so short answer is no.

      What’s even worse is they all have the same invisible friend, it’s just their rules that are different. God, Allah, Jehovah, Jah, YHWH, whatever you wanna call him, all the same guy. But somehow all the rules about what you’re allowed to do and how you need to worship, those are all in different books written by different people at different periods in history.

        I guess monotheistic religions just have in common that everyone believes in their own truth, and instead of accepting the differences, feel the need to go to war over it.

        Maybe all those religions need to be banned, and only allow heno- or polytheistic ones. Especially the polytheistic religions seem much more exciting. But of course it is much more difficult to control the common folk with those.

        Counterpoint for Judaism: The Torah explicitly states that Jews do not own the land until the Messiah returns. So technically Shumer is not correct

        Religious Jews from organisations such as Naturei Karta frequently demonstrate against Israel.

              Uhhh… They have kind of absurd political power. The Vatican is essentially the decision making body of something a close to an international political business with a history of teaming up with governments to support initiatives.

              Like look at the genocidal regime of residential schools in Canada. While they were a government initiative 2/3 of them were run directly by the Catholic church.

              Political power doesn’t always mean strictly “interfaces directly with official government” either. Politics is the web of citizen buy in to how the world should be run. The Catholic Church is incredibly influential on citizens many of whom take the directives of the church and translate it into agency in a multitude of ways. It’s not a perfect control but it’s certainly used to shape the political landscape the world over.

    Just a reminder, no, the torah explicitly says jews have no nation because they offended god. Until god himself comes down and reverses that decision, jews adhering to their religion cannot be members of government for a state owned and controlled by jewish people.

    Zionism is antisemitic, and the opposite of the jewish religion.

        Yeah Hamas is kind of irrelevant here. Palestinians were living on that land and then some folk showed up and said “sorry our book says we’re supposed to be here, please leave”

        Its the equivalent of someone trying to claim your seat at the theatre halfway into the movie and the proof they show you is something they’ve scribbled on a napkin. It would not fly for most people.

        I understand it’s essentially settler-colonialism in practice, which is foundational to modern western civilization. But that doesn’t make it right.

        No, the basis for hamas was the founders family being killed in front of him by fascists.

        Hamas only exist, and solely exists, as resistance to occupation. A group will always exist like hamas, using the same tactics and beliefs. Hamas, unlike israel by the way, doesn’t discriminate based on religion.

        It gets pretty damn interesting if you start digging into ancient religions and how they developed. There’s much more to how this situation came to be than most people understand, which is largely why no real progress is made in opposition to claims such as theirs.
