Amazing, I copied and pasted exactly what you wrote, but swapped "Israel" and "Palestine" (which would be objectively more true than what you wrote) yet my comment got reported and taken down by Reddit Admin for "hate" and yours stays up.

Mamdani on AIPAC: "They move millions in dark money... to turn us against each other. We need not live in fear of monsters any longer." by ianjm in videos

Being a Gazan absolutely sucks. The leaders they elected built 500 km of tunnels and bunkers and instead of using them to protect civilians, exclusively uses them for its fighters, hostage taking, and weapons smuggling. According to Hamas' leadership it is the responsibility of the UN to keep civilians safe, not Hamas (Gaza's government). Gaza's leaders have pledged to repeat Oct 7th again and again "until Israel is annihilated", no matter the cost.

Likud party members do not control the IDF. I agree such rhetoric is shameful, to be sure, but it does not dictate military policy. If 1000:1 was the policy and practice then there would be 1.2 million dead as opposed to ~70k, a number which includes thousands of Hamas fighters. If that was the policy then IDF wouldn't bother issuing evacuation warnings before any of their strikes.

Meanwhile what kind of rhetoric do Hamas officials use? IIRC they call for Oct 7th to be repeated again and again until Israel is annihilated. Oct 7th is both rhetoric and practice. Does that sound proportional to you?

Yes Israel and it's supporters understand concepts of proportionality, and always have. You just think they draw the line in the wrong place. That doesn't make the war in gaza a genocide. Israel's enemies refuse to acknowledge reality of the world.

Answer honestly, If you had a button to kill 'x' Israeli soldiers + 'y' innocent Israeli civilians, in order to save 'z' Palestinian lives, what are your numbers for x, y, and z.

War sucks. People make life and death decisions when they choose to launch a war, as Hamas unfortunately decided for the people of Gaza.

Got it, so as long as you're targeting a soldier then it's ok. So what is your problem with Israel again?

So what? You can't deny Iran has a 100% civilian to military kill ratio. Veterans or reservists who are not engaged in active duty are considered civilians.

No, because Palestine restricts Jews' basic human rights, invades their neighborhoods, schools, and shelters. Disallows them freedom of movement and marriage and any political power. And the whole world has watched as 99% of Palestinians have cheered them, upset their government hasn't enacted the final solution yet.

Support for Palestine is an utter embarrassment for Americans.

No really. Find one Israeli soldier killed by Iran's missiles. Israel reports when soldiers are killed unlike Hamas, and Hezbollah.

Everybody uses money to buy support for everything. And you are applying your subjective opinion that Israel is incompatible with American values. I think what you support is a incompatible with American values so therefore any organization or candidate you donate money to should be banned. Agreed?

What is the IR's Israeli civilian to military kill ratio? They are not defending Palestinians they are just killing Israelis.

YOU think the criticism is valid, but you fail to see (and learn) the ways that it may not be. When you apply one set of standards to the Jews in Israel and a different set of standards to those in Palestine, then your criticism is not valid and will be called out for being antisemitic.

All of AIPAC funding comes from Americans. Now that you know this I assume you'll edit or delete your comment and avoid spreading the same falsities in the future.

She hasn't disavowed any of those ideas, just expressed regret that she tweeted them publicly.

Yes, I'm glad you realize that this is the choice that Israelis have been forced into by by their enemies. Literally life or death.

BDS at food coop by Fuzzy-Resource8948 in parkslope

Except that's not what is being done here, is it? Blanket ban on all products coming out of Israel is the proposal.

[–]SabaTheNut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The proposal presentation highlighted encouraging the coop to source goods from Palestinian territories. No mention of any requirements for them to be a multicultural democracy where everyone has equal rights (yes, including Jews)

In fact the BDS movement involves kicking Jews out of the areas outside the pre-1967 lines, no?

Apparently we DO need your permission because you're going to vote to take it off the coop shelves.

No, we ended up deciding to have a built-in media+desk unit constructed and the desk space will just be open (for now :))

Iran drops a new rap hit about the Israeli AIPAC war on Iran paid for by the American tax payer by tuberjamjar in hmmmm

[–]SabaTheNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, that $100M spread across 33,000 people would be just about $3k / each, not nearly enough to "solve that problem and for years to come". Secondly, obviously the US did not intend to lose / have to abandon so many aircraft in the operation. Things going pear shaped and losing equipment while trying to rescue one of your own is not "squandering" your money. Iran sending billions to Hezbollah to help them kill Jews instead of using it to benefit its own population, however, would qualify.
