The last time Mona Awda Talla saw her daughter Shahed alive, she was leaving the house to go buy her some cake, wearing pink pants. Moments later, she was dead.

          It is. But that won’t stop charges, fines, and jail for hundreds or thousands until someone rich enough to take it to the right court gets charged.

            Nah, I doubt it will pass the senate and even if it does, hate speech is legal in the United States so if they are equating critiquing Israeli government with kkk and nazi propaganda I’m ok with that I guess.

              Legal and constitutional are different things. Hate speech is, in fact, illegal in many places. But the test that would apply for constitutional muster seems to be clear and present danger. Criticizing a government would not likely clear that bar.

          The constitution is toilet paper for the ruling class.

          They’ll do whatever they want, whenever they want.

          So is the massive.surveillance programs taking place for decades now. Oh and all those wars without Congressional approval.

          Yes. They are not going to regulate my speech. Live free or die!

    If something like this happens to my kid I sure as hell will radicalize. I wonder if Israel managed to kill more terrorists that they gave birth to, and call me sceptical but I think they did not.

      Netanyahu and the right need more terrorists in order to justify further land grabs, so yes, that’s the goal.

      Radicalize more people, so that those people strike back, then engage in war and take their land.

      And yes, this is also how the Europeans and Americans took land from the natives during colonization.

      October 7th or something

      Remember that widely-spread narrative that it was a music festival for peace in Gaza? lol

      I’m pretty sure it will be one of:

      • There were Hamas on the playground
      • There was a Hamas Tunnel under the playground.

      There are only ever 3 claims in the hasbara toolkit - it’s Hamas, it’s a Hamas Tunnel, it’s a Hamas Supporter - but they reserve the latter for people who criticise the actions of Israel.

      This question is intentionally baiting people to get banned. You know how this instance is moderated.

        Not at all! I’m not even sure what you mean about the moderation.

        Honestly I just know there are such people on Lemmy and their explanation for stuff like this is interesting to me. I don’t even want them to be banned in general, I can just downvote and move on.

        I got an answer, though. So far “it’s crazy to think Israel would do that on purpose, there are many possible explanations” and yet the facts still stand and no adequate explanation of the facts seems like it could be acceptable

        Zionism is a settler-colonialist ideology dedicated to the eviction and genocide of the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. We don’t allow them or their defenders a platform here, so you’ll have to go to reddit if you want to see people defending their atrocities.

    Commenters here clearly didn’t study WW2 enough to understand why Israel has legal and moral right to ethnically cleanse the holy land!

    Let me guess, buying cake is a crime now too, punishable by death even?

    What a bunch of party poopers. Genocidal ones at that.
