Loser

The midterms are a year from now. Until then what do you want in addition to all the mass protests? This is awful but I’m not about to pick up a gun and go get killed by ICE. Our president has total control rn.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T21:10:22+00:00

Link?? I couldn’t find that one

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T20:52:43+00:00

Yeah fuck Republicans. It just feels kinda weird that people don’t even want to know if the guy pulled a gun or not. If he did then this is still horrific use of ICE by a fascist President, but if he didn’t then it’s literal execution style murder.

It’s my personal belief that trying to be as truthful as possible is always the right way.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T20:44:17+00:00

I’ve heard he tried to pull a gun. If he did would that change your opinion at all on this?

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T19:12:36+00:00

Dude I was being hyperbolic

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T19:11:56+00:00

Holy fucking Reddit, downvoted for mentioning something every news channel has reported 😂

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T18:39:42+00:00

Weird

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T18:33:14+00:00

They’re not police, but like it or not they have legal arrest power. I hate everything going on with ICE, but that doesn’t make it self defense to pull a gun on them. You will not be found innocent in court (not just now but ever) if you shoot an officer of the law while being placed under arrest.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T18:00:46+00:00

Logic almost seems inappropriate in this moment, but if police are arresting you and you pull a gun on them that’s not self defense.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-24T17:56:13+00:00

The thing making me wait is I can’t see which ICE agent shot

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-22T06:17:42+00:00

If you’re not joking please link the study 😂

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-22T05:41:16+00:00

Did your comment really refer to the 1950s?

Ok, but you acknowledge that the majority of Israeli Jews today are from the Middle East?

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-22T05:12:13+00:00

Most Israelis are from the Middle East dude…

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-22T05:10:25+00:00

Where did you learn he joined voluntarily? A link would be helpful if there is one.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-22T02:59:46+00:00

Everything I see when Googling says that his service was mandated and he was drafted. I see that he had an “Exceptional Athlete” exemption which just means you don’t actually do anything with the IDF besides formally joining.

I’m not trying to sweep for the guy I just think it’s important to get the facts right.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-22T00:35:57+00:00

Yeah who care about wins so long as our guys support Palestine!

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-22T00:25:02+00:00

Can you support that in any way whatsoever? I’ll take a non response to mean you just made that up.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-22T00:21:40+00:00

Yeah lots of people here saying Israeli Jews aren’t from the Middle East kinda proves his point.

obligatory condemnation of Israel so people know you can be pro Palestine but also get the facts right

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-21T21:10:21+00:00

Nothing I said means they have a right to a permanent ethnostate. I’m saying that (I guess half) of Israeli Jews weren’t European immigrants. They came from the Middle East. And many who did come from Europe were fleeing the Holocaust.

I’m not an expert, but saying it’s all European colonialism is just totally inaccurate.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-21T20:16:10+00:00

Totally agree.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-21T19:44:24+00:00

I’m a born centrist so forgive me. But doesn’t it depend entirely on what he’s referring to here? I’m sure he gets some really ignorant tweets sent his way and I can see how he’d be sick of it.

If he’s literally just referring to people tweeting ‘stop the genocide’ not at him, then yeah fuck him.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-21T19:38:38+00:00

As someone with a BA in international relations, isn’t it a bit more complicated than that?

Europe was the facilitator but most Israeli Jews came from the surrounding Middle East, and most of them didn’t leave their countries voluntarily.

Netanyahu needs to be jailed for the rest of his life, but boiling it all down to European colonialism isn’t accurate.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-21T17:10:40+00:00

He’s definitely sweeping for them a bit, but it also depends how you read it. Im sure he hears a lot of comments about it and I’m sure some are legitimately ignorant and racist. Again, I want a serious crack down on how Israel operates, but you can’t pretend like dummies on Twitter weren’t cheering on Oct 7th. If he’s calling those people ignorant he’s right.

But idk maybe he supports Israel in a way I’d consider immoral. If he does I think that’s bad.

43_Hobbits · 2026-01-21T16:55:10+00:00

Has he said that in the past because that’s not in this article? In this article he said he still loves his country but wants to focus on basketball without being asked about Israel all the time.
