Israel claims that the 27 hospitals and 12 other health facilities they've bombed hid Hamas. Rape, murder, torture, hiding behind civilians, illegally abusing things like medical immunity...every accusation is a confession. What a wretched country. And to be clear: I don't mean all Jews - just the ones perpetrating this ethnic cleansing and their allies whether Jewish or not. Couldn't care less about where they were born or their genetics, just what they're doing in full view.

Why the fuck did you even bring up Jewishness into this?

Israel is not Jewish people.

Because a ton of bad faith actors are equating the two.

Fucking Jerry Seinfeld.

Do you think appealing to bad faith actors is a good rhetorical strategy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Generally, no, but in this instance, yes. I don't know who's reading this that genuinely thinks they're the same. A brief disclaimer to not look like a bigot seems worth it.

Heading off predictable counterpoints is often a good rhetorical strategy, especially when those counterpoints are so ubiquitous.

Israel is not Jewish people.

That's exactly what I said, and I said it because it's necessary to remind people of that. Antisemitism is absolutely on the rise, so the distinction matters to me.

Well yeah. If being anti-genocide is being anti-semite, then I'm antisemite. If you're a jews and you're not speaking out against the massacre commited in your name, you deserve the hate.

According to everything Israel says, they are.

"Admits" after video footage surfaces 3 weeks later.

Every accusation from Israel is a confession.

Israel needs to be de-zionised like nazi Germany was de-nazified

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There wouldn't be much left.

Israel: "Maybe Hamas shouldn't hide in hospitals if they don't want us to bomb them!"

Also Israel:

Wait, they blew up their own people?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Most of those burnt corpses were very likely killed by Israel.
