    It’s darkly humorous to me how Israel has this vast propaganda arm claiming that they’re just uwu smol beans who only want to live in peace but then settlers like this one will just come right out and say “Nah we just want to kill brown people and take their shit”

      You say that like the illegal entity’s messaging is consistent. It’s not. In english they pretend to give the least bit of a shit and play alomg. In hebrew even the official line is outright hateful as hell.

    Israel: I ate a cat

    NYT: You make me want to cry. That’s (in my opinion) kind of cruel. But even so, I do respect YOUR opinion.

    Israel: I will eat another

    in the documentary she also just casually admits that she used to ‘spit on arabs and such’ as a teenager (with no follow up questions from the israeli woman interviewing her)

    oh, and she’s a teacher btw

      Nah, I see “Israeli” getting packaged under “White”. Even the original settler’s script is a monstrosity once they drop the mask of civility; it’d just be a case of game recognizing game

        Hard disagree.

        This absolutely will lead to 1940s antisemitism among non-jewish white people. A lot of Jewish anti-zionist creators on TikTok are already experiencing the effects of Isntraelis blatantly horrible behavior. The fact that whenever people say that someone is antisemitic, there is a growing population that doubts the authenticity of that claim is evidence.

        This is absolutely horrible for Jews everywhere and it makes it harder to call out actual antisemitism because Isntrael has done so much to poison the well.

        Now consider this: The west and especially the US are working extra hard to make it seem like biden and the west are trying their best to stop Isntrael’s genocide, but those darn Jews just don’t want to listen!

        All those “leaked” closed door messages about Biden really wanting a ceasefire and being ignored by netanyahu? They serve that exact purpose. The truth of the matter is that the US and the west (as well as Isntrael) want this genocide to continue.

        But that isn’t sustainable, and the signs that the Zionist project are on its last leg are becoming more apparent everyday.

        They’re going to set up Jews as the fall guys. They’ll make it seem like only the Jews wanted this to happen and not the majority of non-jewish white people who also make up the biggest share of Zionists.

        This was always the plan.

          Where does that term come from and what does it even mean? Literally what values do Jews and Christians have that Muslims don’t? And since when do Christians like Jews enough to say that they share beliefs?

          I swear talking heads just parrot it to sound smart because it’s a big word that makes them sound progressive.

            It exploded in use when the “war on terror” started and Islam was made the official enemy.

            Started out as a reaction to antisemitism, but ended up being an anti-muslim slogan.
