Excellent, even. Removing their funding limits their reach. Lets impoverish the mofos. And realistically this is what we can all do pretty easily to push back against Israeli genocide.

my mistake, I did respond to the wrong person.

From what I can see you’re a mod of a different community, not this one. This isnt “US news” where you are a mod, right? You are also not an admin for all of beehaw. So I dont see how you can claim the authority of being a mod in this exchange. I won’t be coming to US news on beehaw where you actually are a mod.

So it seems to me that you and I are just two people talking.

Choose to escalate or dont. But after that how about you leave me alone and keep your supposed well meaning advice to yourself? Your supposed mod-edness and your opinion of Blinken dont interest me and you’re just bullying.

OK, well you know the drill Pete, report it, get a mod to study our exchange, and get it handled. I’m ready to be judged.

Once again, I’ll use language how I like and I wont be assigned meanings and told how to speak by anyone, about anything. And I dont think anyone else should allow you to do that to them either.

Lately language has been aggressively weaponized and I think thats awful. Thanks anyway for your concern about my using language properly. Thats very neighborly of you.

Not an ad hom. Delivery and style of messaging is fair game in debates is it not, as long as I dont go after your character. As is questioning who you are quoting. If I opened a post quoting a different war criminal, say Hitler, Stalin, or Pol Pot, I’d expect someone would call that out, and I wouldnt cry “Ad hom! ad hom!, help! I’m being oppressed!”

And it came up in my feed. What can you do. There are no rules on "necro"ing are there? If there are please let me know, I will follow official rules.

I think you’re just sore that I think quoting Blinken is … problematic to put it mildly. Take my feedback or leave it, its all the same to me buddy.

I will say I think your trying to flex rules on me and claim an adhom is not very impressive. You can do better than that cant you? Why not try to defend your actual point instead?

Starting the post with ‘Blinken said this’ or ‘Blinken said that’ is not exactly a great way to start because Blinken belongs in the Hague in chains for abetting crimes against humanity.

Any other war criminals you’d like to quote in your intro OP?

The word holocaust is an ancient greek one. Not made to be limited what you claim. You will have to live with that fact I’m afraid. You dont get to police everyones use of language, we’ll use language like it was made to be used thanks.

They dont “deserve” a land to settle any more than anyone else does. Their religion says they do but thats not how land ownership – or your “fairness” works at all.

Thats just flatly not realistic. Polling shows that Israelis on average are entitled, racist and violent. A plurality of them want every non jewish person expelled from Israel, citizen or not. And 47% of them want every Gazan killed, no matter their innocence. about 80% think the way the war is being executed in Gaza is just and should continue. They are fine with war crimes.

Its easy to conclude that they will not live in peace with anyone if they feel they control any state apparatus.

great, just what the US needs.

“This latte is cold, this is a second holocaust, and antisemitic.”

Yes, clearly Israel is using their weapons for defensive purposes, and if more weapons arent provided (for um defense, or course), All Israelis are under threat of annhialation.

Macron was always going to cave. A quintessential centrist worm. The only thing he believes in is his hair style.

Daylight savings time needs to be gotten rid of.

The imperial measurement standard needs to be gotten rid of.

The UN security council veto should be able to be overridden by the general assembly.

Collective responsibility for a democracy’s crimes should be a thing.

The country of Israel should be moved to an open area of land with no people on it. Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, or the jungles of South America.

There should be a corporate death penalty when they commit crimes.

All kids should have food.

All humans should have access to very basic water and food. Like beans and rice for everyone, no exceptions.

Basic sanitation is a human right.

Religion should not be respected any more than any other bag of philosophical ideas. Stupid parts of religions should be called out and discussed, not hallowed and treated with respect even if its utter nonsense.

I was about to comment and correct the poster that it was called a nipple, but you are correct. its a clit.

Not that I’m pro-chemical-weapon use, but I dont think the US should be wagging their finger at much of anyone right now.

excellent point, killing innocent civilians is very wrong. As is starving them and abusing them for 80 years. All those things, just plain wrong, no matter the reasoning.

Good point, and a perfect centrist take (not that I’m accusing you of being centrist). They should have a centrist viewing and commentary of the whole star wars series. Like mystery science theatre 3000.

Come on, lets be historically factual here-- No one “sent the jews to the desert”. After WW2 many areas were floated for a potential jewish state. Look at the map here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/a67uop/countries_where_jewish_homeland_was_proposed_in/

with the obvious concern that putting a state in a territory thats already inhabitted would be a problem to say the least. But no, the zionists insisted it be created in the already inhabited ancient judean lands (from a country that disappeared more than 2500 years ago), and didnt care that itd mean ethnic cleansing of the owners of the land at the time-- and the idiot british backed their play. Hence the nakba, which never ended, and here we are today, still trying to settle that question that was so ridiculously poorly administrated 80 years ago. The world would be a better place now if that choice had been better handled. This started because of an epic political failure, informed by a recent genocide of the time and the victors of WW2 feeling like they could dictate whatever they wanted to the “vanquished”. This is not just a failure of zionism, it was an epic failure of the allies after WW2 to have any standards or forward looking thinking at all. People dont say this often, but some of that generation were just as much short sighted c*nts as we are today, and not “the greatest generation” …at all. We are still cleaning up that effing mess today with no end in sight.

I think zionists overestimate the degree to which people care about them at all. As long as you dont cause trouble in western society (and you have white skin), no one gives a crap about you unless you are a visible underclass. Why should they?
