Yeah well, one can be anti-oppression and anti-apartheid as well as anti-terror, anti-killing-civilians, anti-bombing-hospitals, anti-using-civilians-as-shields, anti-hostage-taking and anti-warcrimes.

Sure, and if you are those things its going to be hard to get enthusiastic about voting for Biden.

You have pivoted your argument from "this government isn't actually representative of the will of the Israeli people" to "its dangerous to ignore how much more fascist this democratically elected leadership is than the past governments, which were literally made up of the same people." No shit, this government is dangerous, no one is arguing against that. It is ALSO the government that the people of Israeli have chosen, over and over and over again. Israel is a fascist right wing nation because they have chosen to be that.

The United States of America.

Someone else did a good job of demonstrating that these numbers aren't exaggerated:

It doesn't really make sense to characterize a prime minster that is entering his (approximately) 16th year in office as being some kind of aberration. If the US elected Trump for four non-consecutive terms as president, I think would be fair to characterize the US right wing as being the norm rather than an aberration. How many times does Israel have to put a fascist in charge before they get a share of the blame for what he does in office?

Its funny because memes like this actually kind of require you to believe in God to make sense. Jesus was either made up or some crazy person. He didn't die for our sins so I don't think it makes sense to be pissed off at him or a god that doesn't exist. These whole line of reasoning assumes a believe in god and Jesus and its a super weird fit for an athiest perspective.

If only there were 194 other countries out there that don't have this problem. Then we could have somewhere to look and see if maybe having a gun store on every corner is contributing to this problem.

Do we really need to change our laws because some lone wolf who clearly had no political positions at all totally did not get weaponized by the media and churned through a system that literally hands guns to the mentally ill?

He found a club that is genuinely evil and got elected by other evil people to be in charge of it.

Except don't actually do that because he hasn't read it either, just just does whatever the fuck he wants and ignores everything that doesn't agree with what he wanted it to say.

Thanks for answering. I was wondering if you were just ignorant or actually delusional and that helped.

Especially with the built in biases that the companies that use it build in. Try searching for anything that can even tangentially be defined as a product for sale and that is ALL your results are going to show.

It is fascinating to me that no one is asking what outcome Hamas was looking for after these attacks. Is no one concerned that Israel is doing EXACTLY what Hamas must have expected them to do? They almost certainly had a plan and doing exactly what the other side expects means your going along with that plan. Hamas had to have known this is what would happen, so this happening is giving them what they wanted: An Israel that is rapidly losing its international mandate while committing atrocities against civilians on center stage in front of the whole world.
