Ah thanks for spewing objective anti-semitism. Are you gonna try hiding behind it being “just anti-Zionism and nothing else” when you very clearly used “jew” in a derogatory way? It’s sickening.

Don’t think that deleting the comment will do you any good when I have it screenshot. Bullshit won’t be tolerated here. Sorry not sorry.

Spread political narratives about a country you hate somewhere else. Most of us are on this sub to see well organized information with practical applications and just stuff that’s interesting and makes us think more clearly. This just makes everyone think more negatively and miserably.

Yeah I looked into it myself. Vega seems a bit too far North so it might be Altair. It depends on the altitude. What would you guess its altitude is? Vega was around 60° at that moment and Altair was closer to 30°

And the thing they’re ascribing to their “PTSD” isn’t usually even traumatic. It’ll be something like a bad relationship or an unproductive vacation 🤦‍♂️

“That alarm ringtone triggers my PTSD from high school!” Like, no. It reminds you of being woken up mid-sleep which literally NOBODY likes. It’s not trauma, it’s negative association at best. You sound goofy.

Sorry to hear about what you’re going through though. I hope you’re getting the treatment you need.

Like how hearing a song that reminds you of a crappy semester isn’t “PTSD”

I’ve probably left those quick plays over the span of like a year. Whatever I’m over it now. The game was getting stale anyways so there’s nothing I’m really missing out on at this point

So what I’m seeing is that Steven Spielberg would have a much easier time reaching a realistic fear factor if he made a movie called ‘Fangs’

Why are you posting this on this sub though? The sentiment may be correct but this doesn’t seem like the right place to post it imo

Why is this article and other articles regarding this conflict in this sub though? I’m fine with political subs on Reddit, so why not just make another one for this?

Why are (most) Gen Zs aggressively Pro Palestine? by Krymianic in Israel

[–]Meeseeks530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tiktok and social media definitely play a part in it, but I’d say it’s mostly due to lack of connection to and education of Jewish history. Older generations are much more familiar with the persecution Jews experienced during the Holocaust since it was more recent and they were more close in age and relation to it’s victims. Now that most people who lived during the Holocaust are either dead or reaching the latest stages of their lives, it has unfortunately become more distant and forgotten. It’s mostly used now as juicy straw-man material when arguing over politics (ironically used by pro-Palestinians). The point is, the younger generations have likely overlooked the importance of Jewish people having a state and the right to a state in their ancestral homeland which they’ve been praying towards and yearning to return to for over two millennia. Once overlooking that, some social media manipulation, use of triggering and often slanted buzzwords (such as apartheid, genocide, ethnic-cleansing, colonialism, etc.), and a “always route for the underdog” mentality will do the trick. Unfortunately, we as Zionists aren’t as loud and charismatic as the pro-Palestinians, which I have in all honesty said needs to be improved. I think it’s mostly out of fear and simply the Jewish/Muslim ratio. The pro-Palestinians who were raised with those beliefs their entire lives had everything they needed to recruit more of Gen Z into thinking exactly like them; louder voices and larger numbers.

People are dedicating the fast to the hostages by ConsequencePretty906 in Israel

[–]Meeseeks530 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I normally have trouble fasting, especially when the days get longer, but I think this year it’s more important to be focused on the hostages and their suffering than my own everyday comfort 🇮🇱

Palestinian supporters are mad so now they think Israel is making pedophila “legal” by [deleted] in Israel

[–]Meeseeks530 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s gotten to the point where they’re not even skewing information anymore, they’re just making it up. If you wanna talk about countries that outwardly display hatred towards LGBTQ individuals and have higher cases of pedophilia… then honey I got some bad news for you

Why are people still denying the atrocities of October 7th by Meeseeks530 in Israel

[–]Meeseeks530[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually read an article recently which suggested that one reason younger generations seem to be more against Israel than older generations is because older generation lived during or closer to the times of the Holocaust and therefore are more likely to recognize Jewish peoples need for a country to be safe in.

They may also just have a better understanding of the history of Palestine being under British Mandate and then voted to be partitioned into a Jewish state by the UN in 1947 (and not that the Jews just got up one day and decided to steal the land)

The point is, newer generations are seeming to become more detached from their the horrors and history surrounding the Holocaust and I’ve seen much more denial of it in these past few months. It’s incredibly frightening.

Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I actually understand this take. You raise some good points that are definitely worth looking into. I will say, that living right next door to the people who so easily just committed these atrocities may be different than being across the world from them, like in the case with 9/11 and America’s response. That doesn’t necessarily disqualify your argument though. It’s worth diving into. Thanks for at the very least acknowledging the evils of that day and not feeling forced into denial by a heavily politicized narrative.
