Whatever awaits Desert New Jersey is not enough.

Hitler just nodding and smiling from the outhouse of hell.

"Let my hate become you"

The ICJ ordered humanitarian aid to be let into Gaza 21 fucking months ago.

The Sumud flotilla was doing the job of the international community.

Israel broke international law by stopping the aid, by intercepting them in international law (piracy) and of course by using starvation as a weapon as well as the countless horrors it inflicts on civilians. Yet there is not a peep about this from corporate media, let alone the governments of the nationals of the flotilla who undertook this phenomenal act of courage and did nothing to protect them from Zionist fascists.

Enough is enough.

And you just know she will be on the next flotilla she is able to.What a couragous young lady.

Unpopular opinion and I don't care but I'm tired of confusing courage with idiocy.
- If you find someone trying to stop a brutal regime starving and killing children idiotic,i think it says a lot about a lot about your personal morals and lack of empathy.
- You’re tired and confused all right.

Why the fuck are you defaming New Jersey by comparing it to Israel?

Apologies, I promise it wasn't intended as a slight against the state but as a method I use to dodge censors about the cult. I dug a bit deeper to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass (as I couldn't recall exactly where the size correlation in my brain came from) and it does turn out it comes from a Netanyahu quote not a talking head as I'd initially thought.
On June 13, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like "10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey."
Since October 2023, Israel has dropped an estimated 70,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza – an area about 1.6% the size of New Jersey.

They don't even have pork rolls! Completely different.
- We won’t even talk about how shitty their bagels are.
Israel’s defenders like to bring up about how they’re such a weak country “smaller than New Jersey” and therefore need tens of billions of dollars of US aid.
- Jersey doesn't need shit though. Trenton Makes, the World Takes is the saying for a reason. Get it together, Israel!
- Thank you

I wish I had an ounce of her bravery and integrity, she always stands for what she speaks. I wish her well, the IDF and the genocidal Israeli government is a pitch dark chapter in human history.

I just want to remind everyone that the right's early work to paint Greta Thunberg as a "cringe and embarrassing kid put on stage by rich parents to scold hard-working homeowners" was so successful that it had almost universal support in mainstream social media, with both the right and left saying things like "I care about the environment and all, but this is just too cringe" and to this day, there are people who still think she's that child.
Why am I reminding everyone of this?
Because a lot of those people were progressive/leftist and got pulled along in the bandwagon because it was funny.
This is what it means to not really have your values and principles thought out, you can end up supporting things you don't intend. You will end up helping shoot down causes you should care about before even thinking about it.
Beware ANYTHING you read or see online or on broadcast that makes you feel something, either negative or positive, they're all emotions designed to change your feelings and thus positions.

Yet another war crime

desert New Jersey

Eh? NJ is extremely diverse, and to compare it to an ethnostate is pretty ignorant.

Edit: Apparently I'm the problem here. My bad 🙄

Size comparison, bud.
Edit from the problem here; OP forgot his meds and let a stupid straw break a camel's back that let through a lot of pent up shit- I'll better clarify below, but no one was crazy but me.
First things first, I'm sorry for popping off-- Had my hands in too many discussions at once and aimed poorly in the process. Feel free to dislike me (it's justified), but I can honestly say there's no beef here from me with anyone that isn't supporting genocide.
Next, I had no idea so many people took potshots at Jersey, so I'll keep that in mind going forward. 'Desert New Jersey' comes from I think Hasan mentioning how wild it was that all this war criming is coming from such a relatively small place in the world and it stuck as an internal censor for Israel. I absolutely don't think ~10mil actual people in the state are like the cultists, so I'm sorry about that misunderstanding, too.
All that said, I don't dirty delete so my shame will remain there and I will go smoke a bowl and try not to cause any stupid altercations for the rest of my weekend. Be safe and fuck Zion.
- Well obviously that's not clear, and I imagine there's a large chunk of the ~10 million people living in NJ who wouldn't appreciate the comparison.
  NJ gets shit on all the time, so I assumed that this is what that was.
- Yeah I had no idea thats what you were doing. Thought it was a jab at Jersey.

If Israel is desert New Jersey, what does that make Delaware?

Another tax haven, Luxembourg

No way, you get treated like a terrorist for trying to break a blockade in a war zone, who could have guessed. Israel has been surprisingly merciful, comparedtoo what would have happened in any other war zone everywhere in the world Especially disgusting was that rogue MPs from various European countries were released immediately

Merciful war criming and merciful genociding. Yes, of course.
Any other warzone wouldn't have blockaded and bombed civilians. Unless you're the Nazi's during WW2.
It's not legal to blocade international waters or the territorial waters of other places, especially to prevent humanitarian aid when there's a war. The flotilla didn't enter Israeli waters. Under maritime law, what the Israeli navy did was piracy and kidnapping.

If anyone thinks Lemmy is actually a bastion of “leftists” instead of a deliberate radicalization campaign attempting to disguise itself as “leftist progressivism” then I’d like to sell them this bridge I have in my back yard.

Tell me more about this conspiracy to make people oppose genocide and use Linux. Or is the latter a random side effect of the radical propaganda?
- What does this guy think real leftists do - not try to promote their agenda?
How about you take a running leap off that bridge instead?

Every moment we dont glass that shit hole is another atrocity we are complicit in.

Right, because the only thing that can stop a bad mass slaughter is, of course, the good mass slaughter - a concept that totally makes sense
- I'm largely a pacifist, but yes, the only thing that will stop Israel is overwhelming force.
- They're committing genocide; I don't think killing them is necessarily good, but its moral cost is precisely zero, the value if their lives is not and should not be a cobsideration, and ending them all very quickly would stop the problem.
  If you care more about the genociders than the people theyre exterminating literally right now then you are a monster.
Glassing is not a solution. You drop a bomb and make sand into glass but you haven't actually changed the regime. You haven't changed who does and does not have power. You haven't changed who is considered human or less than. You haven't changed what the public of that country thinks. You haven't changed much of anything.
Boycotting is effective. It worked on South Africa. It worked in many other cases. It needs critical mass. It needs a sufficient portion of the relevant population to participate. Anyone who could buy an Israeli product and does not because of what they are doing in Gaza is making change. Anyone who refuses to participate in international events because Israel is there is making change. Anyone who refuses to perform in Israel is making change.
Saying "glass them" feels good, it feels cathartic and just and right. It is not right. It doesn't work. It is morally faulty. Glassing Israel or part thereof would be the beginning of a much larger war, killing many more people. It would escalate existing conflict into something somehow even larger. It is understandable you would want to say it, but it does not actually make the world better. Maybe there is nothing you personally can do to make the world better in this case, and if so that sucks. But you don't have to make the world worse because you can't make it better.
- killing them all wouldn't solve anything–only voting with our wallets can save these people. Any day now.
Casually calling for murder of an entire countries worth of humans. Tell me again how this isn't antisemitism instead of the very valid and necessary criticism of Israels government and their army?
- Why do you think that is antisemitism? I don’t agree with the bombing, but what does it have to do with the inhabitants being jewish?
- When these assholes saw the end coming in Europe they doubled down on the genocides rather than trying to escape, avoid prosecution, consolidate wins, or even minimize casualties.
  They need to be taken out and taken out fast enough they don't have time to do more harm.
  how is this not antisemitism
  The same way it's not homophobic–I don't see the connection.
