    The funny thing is they blame Jews for Zionism and its consequences, but Zionism was first invented by Capitalist Christian anti-Semites in power, and supported by anti-Semites to get Jews out of “their” countries. So basically what they’re advocating against is the same thing that got us here in the first place. Even for really traditional Jews and Christians that recite promises written in their “holy” books about Israel as if it’s some kind of excuse to allowing genocide, I’m pretty sure that their God didn’t advocate for killing an entire people. No, of course not, their God should send entire people to torture for not beleiving, not his followers on earth. Both ways of thought are sickening and backwards.

  • Wanna know what’s weird? The Far right seem to support this. Like I remember when the war started and you had people waving Israeli flags yelling “Jüdische Ratten” at Religious Jews holding placards saying “Not in our name” and “thou shalt not kill”.

    I’ll repeat that, we had people flying Israeli flags yelling Nazi slogans at Jews who were protesting against Israel.

    What.

    I’m terrible at geography, and specifically picked classes in high school to avoid taking a geography class, instead taking psychology and sociology to cover my “social studies” credits. As a result, I never knew Israel was specifically a Jewish country until this whole genocide kicked off. I knew a lot of Jewish people lived there, but I thought it was like how a lot of Christians live in the southern US - the population might be a majority of one religion, but the country is still neutral, at least in theory.

    When I speak out against Israel people will often accuse me of being antisemitic, and I can’t help but chuckle when that happens since I didn’t even know Israel was Jewish when I first started denouncing their genocide. I don’t give a shit what religion someone wants to follow, just don’t kill innocent civilians…

      'oh boy, nazis' - tldr it's about killing nazis

      I don’t know who the guy on the right is, but the robot is G.I. Robot so I assume this is a reference to this scene in Creature Commandos episode 3 “Cheers to the Tin Man” where (to the music of Amanda Palmer’s Coin-Operated Boy) he kills a lot of neo-nazis.

      (I’ve never seen the show besides that scene and only know about any of this from memes…)
