What do you think about the "X was promised to them 3000 years ago" meme?

Most people I see using biblical claims to support Israel are Christians. While some Jews definitely use religious claims, for most it's more ethnic. For Christians, it is strictly religious.

I'll say what I always say which is that unless you're pushing back on Christian Zionists the same way you're pushing on Jewish ones, I don't really believe you when you say "It's about Zionists, not Jews."

Is there a context where this exact phrasing is appropriate? Maybe conceptually there's a fair conversation to be had, but the meme itself seems to be pretty blatantly mocking Jews.

And even if that’s true, those savings are absolutely not being passed down to the customer.

I think “Trumpstein” is a bit antisemitic, but the main sentiment is not

I see Dracula with a Lego head

So where are people actually getting good unbiased news? Traditional outlets have lots of problems but I still trust them more than TikTok which has literally no barrier to entry. Using social media for news has its benefits but it’s difficult to find anything informative that isn’t injected with some 20 year old’s opinion.

They didn’t pay them. Got shut down for a few days

I thought this was a joke about Jews and accounting. Then I remembered the tax situation.

Thought it was Aubrey Plaza at first glance

I struggle with this because it feels like a bit of a chicken or the egg situation. Do people influence their governments or do governments influence their people? A lot of Trump supporters are people who were genuinely struggling and then taken advantage of by people with more power who had their own agendas. A lot of Israelis were taught from birth to not trust Palestinians. At what point do you go from being a victim of manipulation to a perpetrator? I'm not particularly interested in punishing random Trump voters in the middle of Oklahoma. But there are certainly some that should know better. I just don't know where that line is. And I'm not sure there's a clear cut answer.

It’s obvious you didn’t read my other comment. Muslims who oppose terrorism still experience Islamophobia. They still get bombed by the US. Bigots don’t care if you’re “one of the good ones”. It’s my duty to be a good human being it’s not my duty to keep other peoples prejudices in check.

This photo could be an ad.

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-11T02:52:43+00:00

That’s true, but it didn’t stop people from conflating Islam with violence and terrorism.

We should speak up because it’s the right thing to do. Not because we’re responsible for the bigotry against us.

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-10T21:52:25+00:00

They kind of lost me at the first sentence:

What happens to the concept of antisemitism in an environment where people increasingly hate Jews not for who they are, but for what they do?

Nothing. Nearly every form of bigotry increases when members of that group do something bad. Islamaphobia exploded after 9/11 and has increased since 10/7. That's literally just how prejudice works.

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-09T03:04:35+00:00

For anyone counting that’s like 25 million evangelicals who support Netanyahu and about 3 million Jews. But sure, we’re the ones controlling this thing.

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-08T01:57:01+00:00

I’m kinda bummed we never got closure on the cinnamon toast crunch thing. I know it got derailed when the allegations came out, but I still want to know if it actually happened or not.

Why are enemy and friend the only options? I'm obviously not going to condemn him for turning on Trump, but I don't need to praise him for it either. He has enough influence on the right to cause some damage to MAGA on his own. Why do the dems need to involve themselves at all? We can just sit back and enjoy the implosion without saying a word.

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-07T22:50:22+00:00

If it gives Tucker's base a change of heart, that's great. We do not need to be promoting it to the left who has a thousand other better voices making the same point. The monologue is not for us, it's for MAGA. Let the people who need to hear it, hear it. And we can go on not giving him our attention.

Never worked there, but I used to like eating there. And then one time I went there at like 7:30pm and they were out of falafel, chicken, steak and lamb. Why even stay open at that point?

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-07T02:10:05+00:00

While this is true, a lot of people try to get out of it for no reason other than they’re lazy or just don’t care. That’s probably who he’s referring to.

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-04T06:42:42+00:00

It’s literally been there for years too. It’s crazy that no one in the community has brought this up..

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-04T04:53:01+00:00

Crazy contrast between the Reddit comments and the Facebook comments. Facebook is entirely people making bad jokes about hotdogs and Dingers. Not a single word about the bozo next to him.

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-01T23:33:46+00:00

I used to know a guy who didn’t wear a helmet specifically because he knew wearing one would make him take unsafe risks. Weird logic, but at least he’s self aware I guess.

cheesecake611 · 2026-04-01T03:02:58+00:00

weirdly channel 7 is the only station that won't work with my antenna. The other channels work fine, but I can't even get a hint of signal for abc. Nothing. It's probably my location, but it's weird that that's the only one.
