Lumidaub , in Israel doesn't have the right to exist

Depends on what “right to exist” means here.

LittleBorat2 , in Israel doesn't have the right to exist

Since you like apartheid comparisons. Do the whites in south Africa have a right to exist? I would say yes.

Its a question of coexistence and how that is going to look like.

But hey nice radical and easy solution to a complex problem. Kudos for going the extra mile cognitively!

cybersin ,

Are you trying to equate the ideology of a political regime with a minority population of South Africans?

South Africa had no right to exist as an apartheid state, and Israel has no right to exist as an apartheid state.

After apartheid ended and living conditions improved, black South Africans didn’t go and slaughter every white South African as retribution, so when Israel says freed Palestinians would slaughter all Israelites, why should we believe them?

If the occupation ended today and Palestinians were allowed to live fairly and given ample resources to rebuild, what reason would they have to seek further conflict? If treated fairly, why would Palestinians act any differently than the South Africans freed from apartheid? This conflict is ultimately the direct result of unfair treatment after all.

LittleBorat2 ,

Maybe a disclaimer ahead: it’s absolutely atrocious what Israel is doing in Gaza. Leveling it and probably filling it with Jews when rebuilding it. The whole thing is a 911 like overreaction and I do not support any of it.

Does not matter what some court says it is or not. That piece of land will most likely be ethnically cleansed.

At the same time saying Israel has no right to exist can mean many things from not in it’s current form to all Jews in the sea. That’s the problem with dumbass slogans like this.

zloubida ,

Denying the Jews the right to self-determination that all other peoples have is antisemitic.

Israel is a criminal state that should be stopped. But we can do that, we should do that, without antisemitism.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Denying the Jews the right to self-determination that all other peoples have is antisemitic.

Palestine doesn’t have that right right now, and that is because of Israel.

How do you think that should be righted?

zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

The goal should be the two states solution. It won’t be possible if there isn’t a strong international pressure on Israel. Again, Israel is a criminal state and should be treated as such. So is Russia, and nobody publishes memes on how Russia has no right to exist.

DmMacniel ,

We have seen how well the two states solution worked in the last 50 years.

zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

I never saw a strong international pressure to make Israel comply.

Confidant6198 OP ,

There has always been a strong international pressure against it. But the USA always vetos any resolution against Israel. The USA controls the UN.

meekah ,
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

I agree two states are probably the most realistic solution to the current situation. But I don’t think Israel should have been established by colonial powers in the first place.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Nobody is suggesting that, people are arguing in favor of dismantling a fascist ethno-state.

zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

It would be replaced by what?

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

A single state solution over Palestine and former Israel, with equal citizenship.

zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

Thus you’re denying the right of self determination for the Jew people. QED.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

How?

zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

If the Jew people of Palestine want the independence, who are we to deny it? The only moral solution in this case is the two states solution.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Ethnostates are bad, and right now we have a fascist ethno state destroying people.

zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

Israel is a lot of things, but not an ethnostate. Falashas and Sefardim aren’t white, and they’re recognized as citizens as much as Ashkenazim, at least legally (there is racism between Jews in Israel too, but it’s the case everywhere).

I don’t understand why Israel is the only criminal State in the world that progressive people want totally destroyed. Russia, Iran, Syria, … are imperialist criminal states too, and progressive people “only” want their government changed. I want the fascist government of Israel overthrown, but I have no right to call for the destruction of the country itself. The only difference is Judaism.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Israel is an ethno-state centered around Jewish identity. That is the literal entire point.

Israel is not the only fascist state that should he totally destroyed, of course others should be. The US is probably the biggest cause of conflict and exploitation worldwide.

andrewrgross ,

I think you could argue this before the passage of the Nation State Law of 2018. But now it’s enshrined in law that the state exists to privilege Jews specifically and selectively. That’s really putting it all in black and white.

Also I get asked about why I didn’t criticize China or Russia or Iran etc, and the reasons are simple:

  1. I do
  2. my tax dollars didn’t support their misdeeds and
  3. I’m Jewish, so I have a huge investment in Israel’s actions. They insist that I be judged by their actions, so now I have to get involved. Also, I actually like Israel. I’d like it to be a liberal, multi ethnic democracy and not just another Middle Eastern martial theocracy with a Jewish twist.
zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

I think you didn’t understood me. I’m criticizing Israel. It’s a criminal state.I just say that to criticize Israel and saying that Israel.shouldn’t exist are two different things.

andrewrgross ,

Oh, I see. Thank you for the clarification.

Confidant6198 OP ,

Israel literally sterilizes black Jews. They are a white supremacy state.

andrewrgross ,

Hold on a sec: self determination is always within the context of recognizing the right of self determination of other groups and the basic human rights of everyone involved.

Also, Israel already has millions of Palestinian citizens. And all of these people deserve a say in what the resulting arrangement looks like.

A two state solution is one possibility, but there is no strict requirement that it is the only or best way to serve the needs of those involved.

zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

It’s true. But it’s not for us to decide.

Confidant6198 OP ,

“Self determination” to oppress others lmao. Fascism is not self determination.

zloubida ,
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

Israel is a country. Fascism is a type of government.

You can want the end of the fascist government without wanting the end of the country.

Confidant6198 OP ,

Israel is a fascist settler colonial apartheid regime. Israel is an ethno religious state. Israel must be destroyed like yesterday! That land belong to the Palestinians! Free Palestine! Fuck Israel!

meekah ,
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

Not really. It doesn’t deny Jews the right to exist, just the Jewish ethno state that was established by colonial powers.

As far as I understand, a vibraphone is basically a glockenspiel with resonators

praise_idleness ,

Ah, I see. It’s Xylophones

bstix ,

A xylophone has wooden bars.

A marimba is a xylophone with resonator tubes.

A glockenspiel is a xylophone with metal bars…

A metal marimba is a marimba with metal bars (or a glockenspiel with resonator tubes).

A vibraphone is a metal marimba with a motor spinning a disc inside the resonators which can create a vibrato and it has a damper (sustain pedal).

Did….did you censor dr manhattans male presenting nipples?

blanketswithsmallpox ,

Is he even male anymore? I thought that was more like a dead sex to him since he was AMAB but is now a god.

InfiniWheel ,

Biologically and functionally speaking, he’s whatever and everything. Practically speaking, he chooses to have a dick and look like a big muscular man that looks nothing like his previous form (so its even more deliberate), so it seems the only thing that survived his ascention was his gender identity.

ssj2marx ,

In my headcanon, the further into the future you go the less attached to his humanesque form Dr Manhattan becomes, and eventually he just becomes a sentient force that does things that are beyond comprehension without needing a physical body at all.

Is Pluto also the name of the underworld like how Hades is both the god and the underworld?

MisplacedAstronaut OP ,
@MisplacedAstronaut@lemmy.world avatar

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Pluto was the ruler of the Greek underworld. The earlier name for the god was Hades, which became more common as the name of the underworld itself. Pluto represents a more positive concept of the god who presides over the afterlife.

Isn’t it normally part of an NDA to not being able to admit you signed one.

snugglesthefalse ,

Not normally, that wouldn’t make much sense. It’s easier to just say you signed an NDA and anyone with sense knows you’re not allowed to talk about the work.

It’s about Disclosure not Admittance. That would be a NAA.
