Will you be getting those troops from the same 'people factory' you'll be getting those builders, yeah?
How are you going to get the Youth to sign up for the Army when we all know you'll be tossed on the scrapheap of life once you're out of the Service? The State exploits us, then ignores us once we are of no use.
Waving flags and being a fan of the Royals doesn't really cut it.
@Lazarou had the chat with my son recently to find out what he would do if drafted into some war with Russia or worse on Israel’s side say. He made a great point: I’ll be there just after the politicians who’ve got us into this situation have put their own kids in the front line.
Precisely.
Oh no. We'd all defend Jews - as we'd defend anyone against colonialism, racism, totalitarianism. It's fascist genociders we're slightly taken against.
@JimmyB @Lazarou
Is that so?
Have you yet realized that you are sitting on your ass, spending time on your phone instead of going to Gaza and helping the IDF, Red Cross, etc distribute aid?
You could be doing a lot of different things to defend them, this is not one of them.
Also, given Israel is defending itself against terrorists who attempted to invade and genocide them, you should really be more supportive.
Are you aware that Israel is occupied land? That the occupation has been achieved with massive largely unacknowleged violence? That the pervading rhetoric in Israel that dehumanises palestinians is deeply fascist in nature? That the deliberate torture, murder, and elimination of Palestinians and those brave souls trying to get the word out about the genocide - is evidence in itself, of the genocide?
You don't get to talk of defence while part of team genocide.
@JimmyB @Lazarou
So who's land is it, if it's occupied? Does it belong to the migrants your ancestors deposited here when you exiled my ancestors, while colonizing this place your-sleves? I know the people you've accused of genocide personally… they are my friends and family, all of them are nice people, all of them value life as much as you and I.
I tell you whose land it isn't: it isn't the land of deeply racist colonialists. That's whose land it isn't.
If the settlers (what a fucking concept!) had created a society where all were valued then this would be a different conversation. They didn't. From the beginning they dehumanised Palestinians - a core part of the Israeli narrative still - and treated them appallingly. Stole their land. Called resistance terrorism.
Well - now everyone can see it.
@JimmyB @Lazarou
You missed the point of my post (you only read the first sentance); it really isn't their land, it's ours. We were here first, your ancestors displaced them from some other part of the region, and when your ancestors exiled mine, brought them there and named the land after a group we had already driven out to make sure it would be difficult for us to come back.
Oh - the old lie! Actually - it's quite a new lie - created by Zionist fanatics in the late 1800's but anyway.
As I may have mentioned: Educate. Yourself.
Let's just say you were right (you aren't: you've believed horrible propaganda), would it still be OK to do the things that Israel has done? No. It would still be genocide.
@JimmyB @Lazarou
We are deliberately avoiding civilian casualties whenever possible, and distributing aid to Palestinians, even though it is unpopular to do so. But if you don't feel like beliving facts, get this: what were doing is much too ad-hoc to be genocide. Genocide must be systematic and organized. It can involve dedicating the military to killing civilians, or death camps, or whatever. But when a civilian gets killed by our wepons, it's never because we targeted them directly.
Everything you say is contradicted by independent evidence. The aid workers demonstrating that children, journalists, medics are being deliberately targeted. The appalling abuse of palestinian hostages, held without charge in conditions of torture.
You need better sources of information: coming here and spouting fascist lies and apologetics is...something or other.
Many independent international lawyers have concluded, based on the super-abundant evidence of genocide.
What's my political charging? Being opposed to genocide?
try harder. The evidence against you is overwheleming! Why not seek some out yourself? I am not here to educate you other than to the fact that the world is a big old place, and you live in a place where knowledge is supressed - extremely.
And it shows. Stop spouting this propaganda!
