    What they’re saying is that blowing up hospitals and murdering children and genociding people is a Jewish trait. Which seems hella anti-semitic to me.

      Well yeah a lot of Israel’s defenders seem to have a really different understanding of jews from me. To me they’re neighbors and friends who have a slightly different culture and generally practice a different religion.

        Most of them don’t seem to give a shit about Jewish people, they just have ulterior motives for supporting Israel. Arm sales, geopolitical strategy, hating Muslims, lebenstraum, and then there’s the crazy Christians who support it because of the rapture stuff. Then there are the Jewish people who delusionally believe that somehow having a state which is solely dependent on the US empire’s support is somehow going to protect them from another holocaust and think that priority overrides everything else. I can’t think of ANYONE I know who can genuinely square support for Israel with any kind of Jewish religious values. Because they can’t. Because that would be insane.

        When an actual Jewish person comes out against Israel, they just call them a self hating Jew. Yup. Nothing antisemitic about that. They must just really want to protect Jewish people from… checks notes… ourselves.

    For all my American friends, “nonce” is equivalent to “pedo”.

    Fun fact: you probably misspelled (misspelt?) “cajones” because that means “shelf boxes” in Spanish

      misspelled (misspelt?)

      Both are correct

      Spelt is more common in UK English, spelled is more common with Americans (I have no idea what other variants use)

        I’m American and I work in a German bakery. Every time I translate Dinkel to English for a customer (dinkle, farro, or spelt, the latter of which I use), I get a moment of total disorientation where I think I’ve just said nonsense because my brain connects it to the conjugation first.
