You shouldn't blame Zionism on a mental illness. Zionism is a choice to be awful.

Faith isn’t the reason, it’s the excuse

Are bad/lacking morals a mental illness? Seriously, at what point do we draw the line? It's a curious topic.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 15 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

No, they're not. When psychologists become the arbiters of correct morality and pathologise disagreement, society is fucked.

You're thinking of what happens when good people make the rules. But what if people like Freud were in charge of calling certain moral values illnesses? We already have enough problems with things like homosexuality being called a mental illness. What if Trump Derangement Syndrome were in the DSM?

"Yeah but Palestinians are subhuman and therefore don't deserve human empathy" - Israel, ~~probably~~ actually

Animal stereotypes of Palestinians in Israeli discourse - Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_stereotypes_of_Palestinians_in_Israeli_discourse

[–] AreaSIX@lemm.ee 10 points 18 hours ago

Jesus, how much have the Zionists modified that Wiki article? A text supposedly about how Israelis dehumanize Palestinians repeatedly starts by reciting the issue with Palestinians and Muslims dehumanizing Jews? This is the first mention of the details of dehumanization:

"Among Palestinians, Israelis have been referred to as pigs, dogs, and bloodsucking vampires, while in Israeli discourse references to Palestinians as savage animals and or repugnant critters has also been attested, and at least once, protesting Gazans have been described as mere ammunition weaponized by their "cannibal" leaders."

And this is the first paragraph under "Background":

"Even though Jews, like a number of other religious minorities, Christians included, were accorded protected status in Islamic societies, the use of abusive stereotypes was not uncommon, some of them were grounded in Quranic and early scholarly traditions."

Is this about Israeli dehumanization of Palestinians? WTF? Let's always start by reciting how Muslims maybe kind of deserve it, or maybe bring the dehumanization on themselves.

No but you antisemites just dont understand! Exterminating the hamas people is the culture of the jewish people¹. So really, by stopping the 'genocide', youre actually doing genocide against a proud 5000 year old culture! Youre literally hitler, who was actually just an innocent tool duped by hamas btw.

¹those weak subhuman diaspora 'jews' may try to mislead you about that. Clearly this is just internalized antisemitism.

Out of curiosity I checked out the inverse article and to my great surprise (/s) it didn’t start by mentioning israely dehumanization of palestinians. It sid however mention someone’s opinion that dehumanization was ignored when palestinians did it.

This will be a terrible mark on human history. When the world watched as internet personalities sailed into Gaza to provide aid. When we did nothing as women and children starved to death before our eyes.

Who will be ignored next?

Who will be ignored next?

  • Sudan
  • Myanmar
  • Armenia
  • Afghanistan
  • Tibet

These aren't next, these are already forgotten even though they're catastrophes. Hell, even Ukraine is being forgotten even though it's one the biggest wars in 21st century. When India and Pakistan looked like they were about to go to war, this Israel/Palestine war was also pushed to the back of people's minds.

I think this is the just the nature of humans. People want to think they're noble and righteous, but they won't actually do anything, and the moment a new war starts they'll move on to that because it's new and we have short attention spands.

How fast we forgot Syria. Erdogan still bombing Kobane for example.

I hate to say it, but there hasn’t been a time in modern history where there weren’t women and children starving while the rest of the world did nothing.

My entire school life there was so much pontification over what "you" would do during segregation or the Holocaust or slavery?

Turns out my entire family would grow a toothbrush moustaches and start painting vegan landscapes while I kept working because the cost of living rises more than wages and I long for the reprieve of death.
