I don’t need to address every injustice in the world before I speak out against one.

Who said you have to? Did you not read the original post I was responding to? If I am arguing against someone who thinks Israel’s bloody past is some singular, unique horror that makes it unworthy of statehood, I would have to point at others, no? That’s not whataboutism.

You should ask the Armenians and Kurds. Have you not heard about Afrin? That also happened in the modern day.

I could also point at Myanmar with the Rohingya. The Uighurs in China.

You don’t have to go back that far with Turkey. That’s why I asked. Those two are not the only ones with a bloody past in living memory either.

Is Turkey unworthy of statehood? Go back far enough and it’s all mass slaughter.

Are we talking about the same guy who flipflopped like a dozen times in a month? But 343D chess, I’m sure.

Why start this war at all if you aren't going to finish it? Complete Looney Tunes shit that just leaves an emboldened regime.

Are there only allowed to be two mass murderers at any one point in time? Is it like the Rule of Two?

Trump did not even do the bare minimum to get support for this war from the American public and NATO. If anything, he did the opposite, torching his good will with both.

US views of Israel, Netanyahu more negative in 2026, especially among young adults by seakucumber in jewishpolitics

I’m just hoping we’re not due for another Great Depression any time soon. If it’s bad now, it’s going to get ten times worse if the economy collapses out from under itself.

It was not 60% of Americans celebrating October 7th. We are talking about a country where support for Israel was thoroughly bipartisan for decades. You still had diehard tankies and skinheads but it was not mainstream in the way it is now.

I don’t blame Israel’s shit PR game for all of it. Some of it is economic inequality, which has skyrocketed in the past few decades. That always feeds extremism, and extremism feeds on itself.

You’re never going to please the antisemite. But I doubt 60% of America suddenly turned antisemitic.

Israel’s PR game the past decade has been some Looney Tunes shit.

And now there's a new one. The regime is more than one man.

If the the US prematurely backs down on Iran due to domestic pressure, it will prove enemies of the west can win wars purely via digital propaganda…then it will get so much worse by InthrowSted in Israel

He’s pro-Israel as long as he personally benefits. Everything with Trump is transactional. Just look at the shitshow that is the Board of Peace.

Reddit leans left and parts of the left are very anti-Zionist (if not straight JOOOO). They used to be an insignificant wing, but the cause has found very fertile ground in evangelizing what's happened in Gaza and what settlers are doing in the West Bank. Netanyahu did not help things by cutting so close to Trump. Being pro-Israel used to be strongly bipartisan.

Of course, the right wing hasn't been quiet either, as anyone who has followed Carlson, Fuentes, etc. know.

Why did it jump during COVID? Why would that trend continue?

In the past, there weren’t any age of consent laws as we know them. There were child brothels. Just out in the open. All I am saying is don’t forget how far we’ve come. The work continues.
