Imagine thinking it's 'woke' to oppose genocide. This is your brain on propaganda.

One day you will say something of substance. But it isn't today.

Intolerant of intolerance, yes. -- Also, if I recall, the Japanese are not exactly forthcoming with extending citizenship to non- , let's call it, rac...
May 14, 2021 at 12:15
Of course not. Religion ought to play no role in government. Like - I'm sorry I have to provide you a minimum of civic education? And yes, the Arab st...
May 14, 2021 at 12:03
China is insanely racist. Like Israel, it too runs concentration camps. I don't know why people like you bring up all these supposed counter-examples ...
May 14, 2021 at 11:57
Oh, back to hypotheticals are we? Nope, not playing. Thanks for the admission though, racist.
May 14, 2021 at 11:48
Indeed I do. Which is why when countries exclude members of their population - or engage in ethnic cleansing to 'purify' that population - they do not...

Man, reading that article... this is actual state terrorism. Not state 'sponsored' terrorism. Just straight state terrorism.
May 14, 2021 at 11:36
:rofl: How dare you tell racist states not to be racist. You're the real racist! Ahh you crack me up.
May 14, 2021 at 11:32
Yes, because you are a racist. So this follows quite nicely.
May 14, 2021 at 11:27
Yes. Have you not seen what ethnic tensions - escalated by a fanatical Hindu nationalist PM - in India have wrought? Silly question, you're ignorant a...
May 14, 2021 at 11:24
Of course you are. As with all racists. And I guess American blacks are treated like shit so that makes it OK? Mask off here we goooo.
May 14, 2021 at 11:22
Israeli Arabs are second class citizens and everyone knows this but do tell me more about this ethnostate which you need to establish.
May 14, 2021 at 11:18
Interesting justification of racial apartheid. Pretty sure you can find something like it in Mein Kampf too.
May 14, 2021 at 11:14
Interesting way to say 'ethnic cleansing'.
May 14, 2021 at 11:08
In other news there are now 31 dead children among the 119 dead Palestinians, which keeps the ratio of dead children to dead adults about the same as ...
May 14, 2021 at 10:54
Opposing genocide = ideological purity. Got it. Not resisting genocide because people might get hurt <> ideological purity. Got it. Sad that people li...
May 14, 2021 at 10:42
Yeah, real revolutionary to oppose genocide and affirm the rights of resistance to it. Not like, the lowest possible bar of humanity.
May 14, 2021 at 10:36
Because I'm not an armchair shitstain who, in addition to being a lapdog to genocide, would even demand to control the terms of death by those meting ...
May 14, 2021 at 10:30
Because I would not presume to tell a genocided population how to exercise what little autonomy they have left, especially against the very murderous ...
May 14, 2021 at 10:25
I don’t need to want that. That’s happening. Because Isreal is killing people. But I would not be such a snivelling dog to genocide and power as to de...
May 14, 2021 at 10:14
= what you want is for Palestinians to die in silence. Good chat.
May 14, 2021 at 10:00
What you want is a literal oxymoron: a civilised violence. And even then, only on the part of the oppressed, in impossible conditions, considering you...
May 14, 2021 at 09:46
I'm sorry you're too stupid to reckon with the implications of your own words.
May 14, 2021 at 09:41
Which, again means: only Isreal can exercise violence.
May 14, 2021 at 09:38
Isreal will continue to genocide Palestinians regardless of rocket attacks. Whether they ‘help’ or not is - like the rest of your questions - is compl...

May 14, 2021 at 09:21
Actually, you insisted on this after I pointed it out. Having you admit that you're literally talking about a fantasy is quite good enough in my book....
May 14, 2021 at 09:12
What exactly does 'helping' or not have to do with anything? You said a shit thing, and it remains shit no matter how hard you bloviate around it. No ...

May 14, 2021 at 08:34
Which, in the context of the open-air concentration camp that is Gaza, is indistinguishable from demanding that Israel alone has the exclusive rights ...
May 14, 2021 at 08:19
You want Israel, a genocidal state, to hold the exclusive means of violence. At least people like twoBit are clear minded in their shittyness - your l...
May 14, 2021 at 08:01
If by 'discussion' you mean, "it is preferable that the Palestinians are genocided in silence" then yeah, that's aiding the opressers you fuck. These ...

May 14, 2021 at 01:06
Oh and one more because people like Echarmion still exist to provide cover for apartheid and genocide: https://twitter.com/tsengputterman/status/13925...

Incapable it is.
May 13, 2021 at 18:12
Is this like how you asked about Japan previously? It's like you're incapable of actually talking about Israel. Which sideshow will you track discussi...
May 13, 2021 at 18:01
I'll take that as a yes then.
May 13, 2021 at 17:36

May 13, 2021 at 17:20
Presumably you're the kind of person who'd tell a rape victim to sit there and take it if the rapist is stronger.
May 13, 2021 at 17:18
Once more for the genocide apologists in the back. Like @"Echarmion", to name names.
May 13, 2021 at 16:59
This is telling. "I won't call it what it is, because if I do, I would have to recognize the situation for what it is, and that would be unbearable to...
May 13, 2021 at 16:51
There is no justification for anything that is happening right now, on either side. Everyone has blood on their hands, but the people with the power t...
May 13, 2021 at 14:59
'The other side' can resist however it deems proper in the face of the genocide happening to its people.
May 13, 2021 at 14:55
This is total fluff. When I say that the Isreali state should stop murdering children and engaging in settler colonialism, it really does have everyth...
May 13, 2021 at 14:43
Your arguments show me who you are as a person. A rat.
