    You missed Hamas

    xx3rawr ,

    It’s actually the Jews who asked to pull it out because it sounds like Hamas

    Fester ,

    They call Hamas “Ham” to save time.

    Viking_Hippie ,

    And because they all secretly love pork even though it’s haram.

    SkippingRelax ,

    I mean who doesn’t like pork? If I had to pick one type of meat and that’s all I’m allowed to eat for the rest of my life I’d choose pork

    xx3rawr ,

    Unpopular opinion: Pork over beef. Anyday.

    As did Isreal!

    (edit)
    Jokes aside, it also took me forever, and I went through the exact same list of who might be offended. Who reads “Ham-mas” on a christmas bag and even when saying it out loud associates it with Hamas? I mean it’s not like anybody still associates Christmas with Christ, so who cares what the first part is. Give me Crisp-mas with lots of crackers!

    Jewish people don't give a shit about other people eating ham.

    Not entirely true. Go eat a ham sandwich outside a Hasidic synagogue when they’re being let out of temple; probably gonna cause a stir. Especially if said temple is in Israel proper.

    Granted, I’d find it hard to believe such a sandwich eater wasn’t trying to stir shit, so maybe getting yelled at is justified….but you see my point, i hope

    snooggums ,
    @snooggums@kbin.social avatar

    Adding context that makes it an obvious attempt to insulting does not contradict the statement that they don't care about others eating ham. They care about the obvious intent to be offensive.

    Keep in mind that if someone was eating a sandwich it would be hard for them to even know if it was ham without the person making a scene about it.

    Oh. “Ham-mas” sounds like “Hamas.” I was trying to figure out why Jews wanted Christmas food to be kosher.

    I would love to know exactly how much time and money went into coming up with the word “Ham-mas” itself.

    afraid_of_zombies ,

    I bet it was the same person who came up with the name of the workplace on Archer.

    Pissed off some ancient Greek God and is now cursed to come up with amazing names and slogans that will become touch of death within months. Doomed to roam the earth from marketing group to marketing group. When he dies his tombstone will read “here lies the man who named it The Dangerous Life of Altarboys”

    I thought Jews had a sense of humor…

    ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

    The group wrote: "Although this is potentially funny (the AJA committee has tossed around some non-PC jokes) it’s really not a good look.

    "We suspect some product manager may cause the company some embarrassment.

    “So we’ve politely written to Wesfarmers corporate suggesting the product be pulled.”

    intensely_human ,

    suggesting the product be pulled

    lol

    ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

    I mean, it’s a fair cop. “Hey guys, not sure if you’ve noticed this, but…”

    It wouldn’t surprise me if Wesfarmers overreacted to their message because of who it was from, too.

    TheMauveAvenger ,

    I think our friend here was loling at “pulled [pork]”.

    echodot , to news in London Gaza rally: Rishi Sunak vows to hold Met chief 'accountable' over march

    Rishi Sunak has morphed from one of the most useless prime ministers we’ve had in living memory. To the most hateful prime minister we’ve ever had in history.

    It’s impressive how he’s managed to take his spineless attitude and somehow turn it into hate.

    He’s still a complete wet blanket underneath it all of course, this is all Cruella’s fault, but he hasn’t fired her he is allowing this and he is endorsing this behaviour.

    He’s in his seventies, so this isn’t that surprising, but I do hope he is doing okay.

    tesseract ,

    He had a minor stroke. Good that it was minor and that help was nearby. But it’s not the news we were hoping for.

    Get well soon, hero.

    alienanimals , to news in London Gaza rally: Rishi Sunak vows to hold Met chief 'accountable' over march

    Rishi Sunak is a pawn of the rich who will do anything to distract from the fact that he hates poor people and people who protest.

    echodot ,

    Well he has to because he hasn’t got a clue how to do the job. Remember he lost the election to Truss.

    He’s what you get when you finish scraping the bottom of the barrel. He’s the murky stain that’s left behind. Somehow despite the practically subterranean bar he had to clear to be better than his two predecessors, he’s managing to be even worse than expected.

    Click here to see the summaryApple co-founder Steve Wozniak is in hospital in Mexico, according to multiple reports. An unnamed source from the WBF said that Mr Wozniak fainted on Wednesday afternoon at the event, according to the CNN news website. Better known in the tech world as Woz, Mr Wozniak is a Silicon Valley veteran who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976 and invented the first Apple computer. The computing pioneer signed a letter in March alongside Elon Musk calling for a pause in the development of the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) models. He called for the regulation of AI when he spoke to the BBC in May 2023, fearing the technology would be harnessed by “bad actors”. But he sounded a note of scepticism that regulators would get it right: “I think the forces that drive for money usually win out, which is sort of sad.” — Saved 36% of original text.

    “There’s something particularly askew with an argument that says a protest calling for a ceasefire is somehow inappropriate on Armistice Day”

    Ya think? Totally on brand for Sunak, Braverman and other genocide denying bigots, though 🤬

    From my Canadian vantage point it seems Britain needs a raft of new politicians who aren’t rich dumbfucks.

    Mind you the same thing can be said for almost every nation rn … including mine.

    Viking_Hippie ,

    Same from my vantage point in Denmark, on all counts 😕

    echodot ,

    At this point I think we would honestly be better off being led by actual fascists. It wouldn’t make any difference politically but at least they would admit it.

    nul42 ,

    Calling for a literal armistice on armistice day. Whats next? Starting the new year on new years day?

    Viking_Hippie ,

    Careful! That kind of thinking might lead to a competent government if it spreads too much!

    NigelFrobisher , to news in London Gaza rally: Rishi Sunak vows to hold Met chief 'accountable' over march

    Funny how the press banged on for months about Gordon Brown being unelected and having no mandate, whereas this out-of-touch sack of shit billionaire human-impersonator gets a free pass.

    Gamers_Mate , to news in London Gaza rally: Rishi Sunak vows to hold Met chief 'accountable' over march

    The prime minister has criticised the timing of the demonstration in London as “provocative and disrespectful”. If he thinks Protesting for a cease fire on Armistice day is disrespectful. Wait till he finds out what Armistice means.

    WhatAmLemmy , to news in London Gaza rally: Rishi Sunak vows to hold Met chief 'accountable' over march

    Rishi Sunak? Didn’t his ultra-rich FIL promote a 70 hour work week?

    echodot ,

    Yeah. So I guess that old average about opposites attracting doesn’t really work. His whole adopted family are as scummy is he is.

    cman6 OP , to news in London Gaza rally: Rishi Sunak vows to hold Met chief 'accountable' over march

    All this hysteria in the news about the protest has motivated me even MORE to join on Saturday!

    fosforus ,

    That’s the point, I think?

    cman6 OP ,

    Maybe… I mean that would be great! Sunak/Braverman come out with some faux rage about the protests and accidentally increase support for them!

    fosforus ,

    Lol, yeah probably not like that. But that’s one sort of conspiracy theory I suppose.

    lemmylommy ,

    And what will your sign read?

    • „Stop firing rockets at civilians and hospitals in Israel“
    • „release all hostages“
    • „stop using civilians as human shields“
    • „stop stealing fuel from hospitals“
    • „do not criminalize homosexuals“
    • „do not bake babies“
    • „don’t rape“
    50gp ,

    thousands of dead civilians including children missing from your list, curious

    Unaware7013 ,

    Funny how "quit bombing refugee camps and 'safe' passage ways" or "end the apartheid state that encourages Hamas violence" or "stop the Palestinian genocide" or "stop stealing land and homes" are missing from your list, as is "Israel should stop funding Hamas".

    Curuous that you don't seem to want to stop the causes, just the reactions to the decades of Israeli barbarity 🤔

    cman6 OP ,

    While I agree with all of those things, I can only choose one thing. The protest is to call for a ceasefire on Gaza, so my sign will reflect that.

    Out of interest, do you think Israel’s response to the attack by Hamas is disproportionate?

    As of today:

    • approximately 10,000 fatalities in Palestine
    • approximately 1,200 fatalities in Israel

    echodot ,

    I actually wasn’t going to go, because it’s an enormous pain for me to get in to London, but you know what, I’m tempted to go now.
