    And the world is supporting Israel because? It’s okay because they are Jews and if you say anything contrary you are an anti-semite and or a Nazi?

        If anyone wrote a fictional story like this, people would call it over the top, silly, far-fetched… reality is fucking dummer than fiction I guess. Not to excuse evil, this is evil, not dumbness.

          Quote that stuck from a history class I took years ago:

          ‘A key difference between fiction and history is that fiction generally has to make sense or it doesn’t circulate and you aren’t exposed to it. With history, whatever happens happens, and whether or not there’s any rhyme or reason to it doesn’t matter: it becomes history.’

          Also reminds me of this post, which kinda puts into perspective just how fucking weird a lot of history was as it was unfolding. Studying it after the fact we can get a sense of “oh that must have been shocking” but we don’t really get a sense of the absolute “…what the actual fuck…?!” going through the heads of the people at that time:

          Makes me wonder if the batshit insanity of the circumstances of Trump’s presidency will actually be captured by history, or if it will just get boiled down to “…the US then elected a talkshow host famous for his orange face. It went poorly; and the next president was…”

            I mean yeah that’s true. Reality doesn’t have to make sense. It exists and that’s it.

            I would love to see history books 100 years from now, how people would handle all the craziness in the world…

          The majority of Jews in Israel came from Europe - more than from Africa and Asia combined. They’re white settlers.

              Okay, so being from Europe and having white skin doesn’t necessarily make them white.

              Colonizing a non-white region and genociding the local population does, though.

              There is a reason that white supremacists, even non religious ones, love Israel.

                  They sure fucking love Israel though, because the settlers love to lynch Arabs and Africans

                  What could be more white than stealing land from the non-white people already living there? Old school white supremacists hated Italians and Irish too, but this isn’t the 1940s.

                    Most of ADLs database of hate is centered around white supremacism.

                    ADL exists to protect Jews.

                    Why would an organization centered around protecting Jews focus so much negative attention on white supremacists if white supremacists love Jews and Israel?
