More Americans express sympathy for the Israelis (46%) than the Palestinians (33%) in the Middle East situation, but the margin has shrunk to a new low.

    What would “support” look like in this case? How do you ensure that support isn’t weaponised and used to promote genocide?

      How do you ensure the alternative doesn’t?

            Ethnostates are never necessary and are always fascist.

            You want the genocidal dictator to “step down” and the genocidal terrorist army “needs reform”?

            You’re not even trying, man. At least try to make it seem like you actually believe your “both sides” hasbara. Ass is, we can all see that you’re a rabid genocidal Zionist.

              This community is clearly pro-Palestine since I keep getting downvoted, and only my comments are getting deleted, but I do find it funny how everyone here is giving me shit for being a Zionist and everyone else is ignoring my statement about how Palestine would be significantly worse. What’s your alternative?

                Fuck yes it’s pro-Palestine and anti-Zionist settler-colonialist. It’s anti-apartheid, anti-ethnic cleansing, and anti-genocide.

                Palestinians have the right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle, while the State of Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”

                    Finally, to the mods- I hope you understand that this application does not have a lot of users and that deleting controversial comments that you dont agree with without any explanation is exactly how you drive people out.

                    Firstly, Lemmy is not an “application,” and secondly, wouldn’t it be a shame if we were to drive out hasbara genocide apologists.

                    Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

        Absence of support of Israel isn’t the same thing as antisemitism, no matter what they’d like you to believe. I have no particular views regarding Ecuador, that doesn’t mean I’m racist against them.
