One was generically anti-genocide, one was anti-genocide in the context of the Palestinian genocide, namely, critiquing the idea that just because LGBT rights amongst a people being genocided are less than stellar doesn’t mean that genociding them is okay or should be tolerated, even by LGBT folk.
Cause 90% of this is caused by the people you guys defend…
“the children the children god think someone about the children” what about the children burned alive by Hamas? What about the schools they use as weapon factories and rocket launch facility? What about the fact that hamas lunches most rockets from living areas?
No. You people aren’t criticizing anyone, you repeat propaganda. Criticism would be to say Israel isn’t sufficiently supplying the civilians with food and water, wich it isn’t. Or that they don’t get the civilians out of Gaza (wich is technically possible but would probably result in way more casualtys because hamas attacks fleeing civilians) or that Israel should do XY for the civilians when possible, that is criticism. Just speaking about numbers of deaths, calling genocide and wanting Israel to stop fighting is not just dumb, its also not criticism, its propaganda.
I do agree that Israel isn’t doing enough to protect the civilians, but calling that genocide is just mind-blowingly stupid and borderline terrorism support.
What? Are you saying they didn’t attack their own people on purpose and on accident several times, they literally stated that they don’t give a shit about them.
Or are you saying they don’t attack them for some other reason?
Running meat shields are bad meat shields and aren’t good for propaganda.
You saying carton villains is interesting, cause i don’t know cartoons where the bad guy burns babies alive and tries to genocide people. Hamas is just another ISIS and they are worse than carton villains.
You're getting downvoted because you're spewing hateful rhetoric and you are completely and utterly factually wrong from the very first concept that you had about this entire situation and nothing that you can say now can change that.
Theres something that could be described as a genocide, but its in self defense from hamas. I dont know if its porportional or okay, but Israel is trying to genocide Hamas, in response to Hamas trying to genocide Israel.
Hamas isnt even a ethnicity or culture, its just Terrorists that literally stated their goal as eradication of all jews, not even “just” Israel. (also people tend to forget that they declared war as the government of Gaza on 7th October during their actual genocide)
And Israel isn’t doing genocide, they are just a little too reckless, but there is nothing you can do about that especially because hamas uses human shields and fights from living areas, schools and hospitals.
Describing Israels defensive war as genocide is the very definition of antisemitism. Ukraine also hits inside Russia and definitely kills Russian civilians in the process, nobody seems to get a F about that, nobody is giving a F about turkey turning Syria and the region Kurdistan into wastelands because they want to eradicate the people there. Its just important to people when the jews are involved…
And Israel isn’t doing genocide, they are just a little too reckless,
Literal genocidal rhetoric from Israel’s ruling government as they kill 1 out of every 100 Gazans alive before the start of the war.
Pretty sure they passed ‘reckless’ a while ago.

This may come as a shock, but discussions of Turkish attempts at genocide and ethnic cleansing of Kurds are actually quite a big deal amongst people who follow international politics.

You gotta need to source that claims, and by source i don’t want to see you taking the numbers of the hamas propaganda ministry or their Gaza health ministry, and i also don’t want to see any sources just repeating those numbers.

Haven’t seen protests regarding that… There is a difference between a discussion once in a while and the propaganda war against Israel happening, “free Palestina” protests the on day of and days after those people did a actual genocide…
You are also kinda silent about the fact that Israel is literally self defending in a war not started by them.

Is the IDF acceptable as a source? The IDF claimed 10-12,000 ‘fighters’ killed and a ~50% civilian casualty ratio - meaning by their own estimates, back in February, they’d killed 20-24,000 Gazans - or about 1-in-100 of the prewar Gazan population.

I don’t give a fuck who started it. Genocide still isn’t an acceptable response. There’s a reason why support for Israel started high after Oct 7 and plummeted in the following months. And it’s not because everyone decided antisemitism was going to be the next hot thing.

Straight up Forgot that Gaza has just about 1 million people… Sorry for that, yeah its right.
But you putting Fighters as in Terrorists in quotes tells a story of its own.

I agree, there is however no genocide committed by Israel.

Thats not true, the “support” was very low from the start and then hamas started their very efficient propaganda campaign with the help of aljazeera, UN and “NGOs” like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International wich is still ongoing. You people play into the hands of Terrorists and i think you do it knowingly, maybe because its popular right now, maybe because you hate jews, maybe because you hate Israel or maybe because you don’t understand whats going on in reality.
And it’s not because everyone decided antisemitism was going to be the next hot thing.
It never actually stopped being a big thing and many people fell for the propaganda the terrorists made. Antisemitism just started to be more obvious. There are enough people spraying shit like “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” a antisemitic therm on synagogues or shit like “stop the genocide” or many other things, this is antisemitism, it was there before, the antisemitic people just feel like its socially accepted now.
Wich it absolutely shouldn’t be, you people however help to promote this mindset, i don’t think you personally do that on purpose however, i think you actually believe that there is a “genocide” and you think you do the right thing, i tell you, you are not doing good.
Guy with gun is fighter… Guy going with other guys with guns is fighter Guys wearing suicide wests are fighters, guys that work on weapons are fighters, guys known to work with fighters are fighters (as in their propaganda people) its not that hard and Israel wanting to eradicate them this time has no business faking the number.
There are two genocides occurring in Israel/Palestine. IDF against the Palestinian people, Hamas against the Israeli people. The only morally correct position is to be against both, correct? And to support the non-combatant civilians on both sides?
easy way to get upvotes on here is to call out OP for something the average user thinks is cringe
doesn’t even have to be true! just do it first and with conviction. “OP troll” “OP is sealion arf arf” “OP spams” “i have OP flagged as blue MAGA do with that what you will” and BOom top comment, no effort no research light work ez w. mods might clap you in 8-10 hours but by then the damage will be done and your game a success.
reddit brains love to criticize the toxic culture of insta and twitter, then turn around and upvote the first whiff of drama farming they see. 😘🙃
Why bother with effort when spamming emojis, stickers, gifs, and pretending like the world is as simple as “country do bad things, wipe out country, world good again”
Honestly it feels like listening to a bunch of American 6th graders who have just figured out that the US might not be the knight in shining Armour their history teachers made it out to be.
It must be more specific than “country bad,” since they are simultaneously simping for countries that are doing awful things.
If it is a nominally socialist (with capitalist characteristics) country, they justify whatever atrocities happen. If it is a capitalist economy, everything that country does is evil.
simping for countries that are doing awful things.
You have already fallen into one of the classic blunders! There are no atrocities in [insert famously fascist, oppressive dictatorships here] and any evidence you supply to support your argument is simply mainstream media lies, regardless of the actual source. And if you are the primary source you’re a shill.
I started doing it periodically a few weeks ago, and I just had an oral bone spur break through my gums from a tooth extraction I had over ten years ago.
So it makes me think the mewing changed something in my lower jaw enough for some fragments of bone to come loose and make their way out.
I can’t pull anything coherent out of this, of course, but there’s some fun bits and pieces floating in the brain stew there.
The Hiawatha Crater is a 31km wide impact basin under a glacier in Greenland, but the meteor that caused it is estimated to have fallen almost 60mya, so “only” a few million years after the Dinosaurs took their big hit.
There are often cross cultural commonalities in legends and other folklore, enough to merit a classification system, Aarne–Thompson–Uther, that while problematic in how it treats elements found in stories not common in cultures well-studied by western academics, is still very much in use in academia. Of course, most of this comes down to “humans being humans” and few scholars think its worthwhile to go on wild goose chases trying to find actual events inspiring specific tropes, to say nothing of this… erm… theory(?).
As far as I can tell, there is no meteor in the Kaaba, but set into a corner is the “Black Stone,” a cemented aggregation of pieces of a large, likely igneous stone. As an object of veneration, it appears to pre-date Islam, as does the basic notion of the Kaaba itself, which was already a holy site for local religion when Muhammed came along. There is a broader tradition in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East of including large stones (“baetyls”) in temples as representations of gods. The Roman Emperor Elagabalus was born and raised in Syria, and when he became emperor he (among other much weirder shit) brought along the “god” Elagabalus, the local temple stone, and tried to insist it be worshipped in Rome as a deity superior to Jupiter. If there is one thing Romans of that era did not like, it was being told that other gods were better than than their own, or even anything other quaint provincial re-namings of the Roman gods. They didn’t necessarily need you to believe their religion (orthodoxy), but you sure as shit needed to to observe it (orthopraxy), and fucking around with the practice of the state religion is a very good excuse for your Praetorian Guard to finally stab the bejeezus out of you (and your mom).
Finally, Pixie and Brutus is a pretty cute comic, if maybe a bit overexposed and SEO’d.
I’ve heard the claim that the Black Stone was a meteorite before, but I didn’t really think it mattered enough to look into the matter. They fall to Earth constantly.
