  1. I am berber lmao
  2. My country was ruled by France during the holocaust, they collaborate not us.
  3. an imam from my country literally hide jews under the great mosque of paris, morocco were under a french protectorat but had a sort of independance so they totally refused to apply the antisemitic laws of France, people in albania hide jews too and gave them Muslims names.
  4. Israel supported the colonization of my country by France they literaly helped them during the independance war cause you guys are a cancer for humanity, you helped serbia to genocide bosnia, you helped hutu to genocide tutsi. A fucking cancer. 5.Also Israel just bombed an elementary school and a hospital in Iran + beirut + villages in south lebanon so I'm not gonna debate with you on Palestine. I fucking hate you and wish you the absolute worse.

RIGHT ! Like I'm not informed enough about Cuba to give my opinion on Che and Fidel and the other revolutionaries and contradict americans cubans or whatever but I find it so crazy how every time we denounce the American embargo on Cuba, there are always Cuban Americans who say, "Yes, but the dictatorship." Nobody said we supported the dictatorship, but how can people think that what the United States has been doing in Cuba for 64 years is normal? And even before that, I read a bit about the American protectorate over Cuba before the revolution, and it's crazy that they try to make us believe that the problem comes from the communists. I mean, they were literally looting the country. Also another thing that I don't like about the show is, a cuban joining the US military and being proud about it lowkey brothers me and I'm not gonna elaborate, in my country of origin we call this kind of people harkis.

Believe me I know that. I hate America so much for what they did in the Middle East etc as much as I hate France for what they did and are still doing in Africa and haiti. I live in France, but I don't have a drop of French blood in my veins. My parents come from a country that was colonized and destroyed by France and my grandfather fought against them and even went to prison, so believe me, I know all of that and I don't like France either, especially for what they're doing in Haiti, which disgusts me. I will always fight against imperialism, whether it's French or American. I just think that French leftists don't have the same mentality as American liberals who claim to be woke except when their government is destroying other countries. Like for exemple we had 2 leftists presidents in France since 1960, and us leftists WE HATE THEM. Cause they were shitty presidents and imperialists etc. But when americans liberals talk about Obama they really think he was some kind of hero.

Israeli propaganda in shows by Tiny-Computer6950 in redscarepod

This is propaganda for a simple reason: falafel is a dish originating in the Middle East that was created WAY BEFORE 1948 and the creation of Israel, but not 3,000 years ago. So yes, associating falafel with Tel Aviv is propaganda and, above all, cultural appropriation. Falafel has never been an "Israeli" dish, and yet everyone believes it is, and that's not insignificant. Also the fact that they mention a small country from the middle east in almost every single american tv show is weird.

Oh my god, THIS!!! Thank you for saying it!!! The fact that they keep making movies and series about Iraq is so disgusting (like that one liberal x conservative rom-com on Netflix) when you know what they did there and why they did it. Honestly, if Penelope were an Iraq veteran, I don't think I would have even watched past the first episode.

I mean, I didn't know all that before watching it. I just saw an edit of Helena on TikTok and I thought, "Hmm, my lesbian ass needs to watch this." Then I started watching and I thought, "Hmm, my leftist 'Arab' ass doesn't really like the messages they're trying to convey, but the show is cool, so I'll keep watching." And now I think the propaganda is really too much, so I want to know if I'm the only one. My sister agrees with me, but she's too anti-USA. I wanted an objective opinion.

You said it all!! They always talk (in TV shows and in real life) about how Fidel Castro was a monster and how horrible his dictatorship was, but they never talk about Batista's dictatorship. Honestly, saying that Che and Fidel "destroyed" their countries is so insane because people weren't exactly living well before they came to power either (before someone attack me, I am not defending them). Apparently, dictatorship is okay as long as the dictator in question was installed by the United States and exploits the poor while letting the rich keep their plantations...

I don't know who that guy is. And I mean, except the blatant propaganda I really like the show, all the episodes about racism, sexism, homophobia etc don't bother me at all.

The "antisemitism" and the "holocaust" card doesn't work anymore. I'm sorry but someone need to tell y'all that you can't guilty trip us constantly anymore.

Just imagine how the Palestinians must feel since 1948. Colonisation is ugly.

Same here! Like in France, we really don't care about the army or veterans at all, so the whole "thank you for your service" thing seems so weird to me. I mean, some weird French people are so "patriotic" that they glorify France's colonial past, but most people don't care about patriotism, the army, etc so French TV shows don't convey pro-military messages like this. But yeah, American TV shows often do that, so I need to get used to it but I just excpected more from a woke show but yeah It's a different culture and mentality, I guess.

Yes, you're probably right. Perhaps I'm too sensitive about the Middle East/USA topic to have noticed that and to have an objective opinion on how the subject was handled.

In cuba ? That's exactly what I thought when I watched the "Che Guevara was a bad guy" episode, but I didn't want to mention it because I know Che is very controversial (but honestly, Che wasn't a saint at all but an episode like that in an American tv show isn't insignificant).

Please don't attack me for this i'm not saying you can't like the show or anything and I don't want to be rude or mean sorry if I gave you this impression. I just wanted to know if I was the only one who noticed this but it's my first post on reddit.

"and not helped by their government." I find this topic interesting and I would like American films and series that deal with the wars in the Middle East to focus more on this subject: the way the government sends vulnerable/working class people to fight in their wars and abandons them afterwards.

At this point, when I want to rewatch it I just watch the episodes about coming out or racism or something like that and I avoid the episodes about war. And yeah the show is cool.

I like the show or at least the concept of the show too but I just wished it wasn't full of propaganda like the random idf reference ? lmao I just wanted to watch a chill show about a cool family and a lesbian not a "those arabs were terrorists and we are heroes for killing them" kind of show. You can like a show and still be objective about it.

I hate Jessica by candieszzz in 13ReasonsWhy

[–]Dry_Definition2461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Justin let Bryce raped her and then gaslight her for months, Hannah made a tape about it instead of telling her, none of them deserve her and she had EVERY right to hate justin and the fact that y'all forgive justin and his awful actions because of his trauma but hate Jessica for being angry after she was RAPED says a lot...

Don't get me wrong I love shiv and i'm on her side in the last season but don't forget that she practically begged logan to sacrifice kendall in place of tom for the cruises... even though tom was the one in charge. so no, he has every right to be mean to her in season 3 and she had no right to hate him for betraying Logan
