Why would we care about Israel?

[–] Fancy_Gecko@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

israel is west's imperial outpost in middle east

[–] mynameisbob@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Well I would rather see them die a slow death as they rip each other apart. Israel was on the verge of cival war before the conclict escalated. I like to see the head nazis hang or the country implode and fall apart.

The Christians of the world care because there is some bullshit in the bible about Jesus returning when the Jews lives there. And that is also probably why the place even exists as it does today.

It is pure fucking madness.

Breno Altman is a brilliant communist journalist here in Brasil. A secular Jew from an influential anti-zionist family, he is a major critic of Zionism. He is under fierce attack by the Zionist lobby.

He explains that Zionism enacted a religious reform: the old Jewish doctrine "Israel will be restored after the Messiah comes" was replaced by "The Messiah will come after Israel is restored". Some Orthodox Jews still oppose this new doctrine.

That depends who you are. Do you mean "the average American" or perhaps "the US government looking to spend some money on private military-related expenses from your friend's company" or perhaps "a politician who relies on pro-Israel funding"? ... Those all have different answers.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 weeks ago

I certainly fuckin don’t.

[+] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world -16 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Because of the ~10% decent people there.

Bombing a land is never good, even if its israel.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 weeks ago

What are your thoughts on the bombing of Nazi Germany?

[–] SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

There are three types of evil:

The ones doing the genocide with their own hands.
The ones doing nothing to stop it.
The ones who failed at stopping it.

There's no innocent in Israel. They're all soldiers. There are Israeli who are deliberately culprit, living there, and Israeli who are atoning overseas (the only ones deserving forgiveness).

Those 10℅ you talk about (it's way less than that) are living shield serving the genocidal state.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are Palestinians that live in Israel.

They aren't allowed to use the same bomb shelters as Jews.

In an apartheid state there are always going to be second class citizens that are not afforded the same rights as the ruling caste.

[–] SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

They must be liberated. They're captives. And they're not Israeli. Any Palestinian with blood inside veins should refuse that denomination.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

But they live in Israel all the same, and if Israel is bombed they're the ones who won't be allowed in the bomb shelters.

[–] SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Ask yourself whether they wouldn’t be willing to die to help burn the blight on the humankind called Israel. Don’t play liberal here, comrade.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I can ask myself all I like, but I'm not the one that has to burn the answers onto my body.

If bombing Israel was the only way to destroy it, then maybe it's worth it. It's not. "Israel" isn't a real country, it's a fragile garrison state that can only exist as long as it is provided an unlimited supply of weapons and investment. Cut off that supply and Israel will melt into air as all the settlers flee back to their home countries. There's simply no need to kill Israel's human shields.

And that's why Iran is playing this game. They're trying to collapse Israel without killing all the Palestinians that live there.

[–] SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Okay, comrade, I'm frustrated. Israel is hanging dozens of prisoners every week. The genocidal state doesn't deserve any consideration. No rationalization can bring back those lifes.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not giving the genocidal state any consideration. The ruling caste deserves to be bombed, no question.

But we have to give consideration to the Palestinians living under the boot within Israel, because they're the ones who won't be allowed into the Jewish bomb shelters. I think that's what the Axis is trying to figure out with these negotiations; is it possible to defeat Israel without sacrificing the Palestinians that live there? And to do it within an acceptable time-frame? Maybe.

I'm frustrated too, but I'm not the one with my body on the line. I can't blame the Axis of Resistance for exhausting all other options.

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You can ask yourself that, but it's not for you or I to answer

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Fuck USrael, they have never cared about the "~10% decent people" whenever they bomb and murder a nation. Honestly Iran should behave like the monster they are framed to be anyways.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You may say that they shouldn't warn and just strike but Iran does not have the diplomatic cover that USrael does to do that. Europe would instantly declare war if Iran did anything remotely resembling an "unprovoked" attack. USrael can attack outta nowhere and Eurocucks won't do anything, but Iran can't do that.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nailed it.

[–] mynameisbob@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

In the USA we got unsactioned low grade hoovervilles. Unemployment has got to be at least 24%..with about 1.7 trillion dollars in credit debt with a dollar cut in half.. Iran if it wants to exist better be making nukes. Can you imagine building all that tunnel with no nukes. Fingers crossed. Who was the only country in the world that has dropped nukes on a civilian population. People have a right to exsit. Sovereignty must be respected desipte our silly games of crapitalism. If I were IRAN i would be letting the yanks know whats up while not blasting it on social media. They classy... If things don't cool down it is gonna get bumpy. Israel now is like a crazy ex that won't go away. ewww

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm warning you: I'm gonna do something without warning if you're not careful!

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 weeks ago

They probably mean "without prior warning about the strike so citizens can evacuate". Given that the Zionist entity places military and intelligence sites really close or below civilian infrastructure, that means mass casualties.
