EDIT: READ THE SIDEBAR BEFORE COMMENTING HERE There’s now going to be a war
against Iran, and the US media is portraying Iran as the aggressor, even though
Israel blew up Iran’s embassy. THAT should have been a call to end support for
the genocidal ethnostate of Israel and call for a ceasefire, but instead we’re
doubling down on support. Also, friendly reminder that Israel would not be able
to do this without US support. Biden could have ended this, but chose not to.
What is your defense now? How can you still justify supporting this genocidal
maniac? How low is too low for you? How much suffering is too much? How many
lives have to be ended or destroyed because of Biden? How much is enough that
you are willing to protest, speak out against it, or at the very least not
defend it in some deranged manner with “aT lEaSt He’S nOt TrUmP.” People are
dying. Imagine being the caliber of person who can excuse this and say this, or
even approve of him and say he’s doing well. Literally the only way to look the
other way is by convincing yourself that Iranians and Palestinians aren’t really
human. “Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds” – maaaannnn I used to think
this was a bit overstated, but it’s really no exaggeration at all, is it? Edit:
Lol at the right-wing neolibs who can’t help but parrot their genocide-defending
bullshit in spaces where they’re not welcome. Thanks for providing examples of
exactly what this post is about. Imagine thinking the person who is literally
making a genocide possible is also the person who is “best for Palestinians.”
Like bro do you even sockpuppet
You gotta set up some subterfuge or get the shills involved to give you support, if you’re going to express opinions like this
Israel is not an ethnostate, nor is it historically fascist, though it has been sliding in that direction under Netanyahu.
73.2% (about 7,208,000 people) are Jews, including about 503,000 living outside the self-defined borders of the State of Israel in the West Bank
21.1% (around 2,080,000 people) are Israeli citizens classified as Arab, some identifying as Palestinian, and including Druze, Circassians, all other Muslims, Christian Arabs, Armenians (which Israel considers “Arab”)[2]
An additional 5.7% (roughly 554,000 people) are classified as “others”. This diverse group comprises those with Jewish ancestry but not recognized as Jewish by religious law, non-Jewish family members of Jewish immigrants, Christians other than Arabs and Armenians, and residents without a distinct ethnic or religious categorization.[2][1]
According to a 2011 Government Social Survey of Israelis over 20 years of age, 49% report Hebrew as their native language, Arabic 18%, Russian 15%, Yiddish 2%, French 2%, English 2%,[3] Spanish 1.6%, and 10% other languages (including Romanian, and Amharic, which were not offered as answers by the survey). This study also noted that 90% of Israeli Jews and over 60% of Israeli Arabs have a good understanding of Hebrew.
Pretty poor numbers for an ethnostate. And while I have little doubt there is systemic racism and discrimination present in the society at large, the law provides all citizens of Israel with the same rights to vote, own business, etc etc.
Worth noting, it is likely a long-term goal of Israel’s far right to change them into an ethnostate. But that does not make them one today.
