Honestly maybe we should be calling them the tankies at this point

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 55 points 11 months ago

they're dronies, because they're in favor of drone strikes

Pretty incredible how slings were invented even before the bow and arrow and they’re still used in modern conflicts today

Ukraine seeking to eject and assimilate ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine and Israel seeking to eject Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are actually very similar.

The ethnically defined pro-western group that seeks to eliminate the ethnically defined “other” is supported by the west.

They are actually very consistent and not hypocritical at all if your ideology is colonialism. That's why calling out hypocrisy doesn't work, that's just to keep us busy.

Correct take

[-] yoreel@lemmy.ml 18 points 11 months ago

Yes, it's only one political ideology that's an issue, definitely not all of capitalism and western culture. 🙄

You'd think they'd be condemning the Ukrainians for using violence against the Russians. But I guess their bloodlust and racism against Slavic people spoke louder.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 48 points 11 months ago

No it's different because they're fighting for their land and their families and their very existence as a people.

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 11 months ago

Why not "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Israeli children"?

[-] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 46 points 11 months ago

violence is only acceptable when done by white people

Death to America

All of these libs wouldn't even be talking about Palestine if it weren't for Hamas. The arrogance of their fake-ass pacifism.

[-] Addfwyn@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 11 months ago

I would argue that there wouldn't be much of a Palestine left to talk about if it weren't for Hamas, Israel would have probably successfully purged them from the country. We all saw how effective the last peaceful protest went over.
