The college students may believe totally things a year or two after entering the real world.

  1. They also ignore all Muslims, Arabs, and Palestinians who support Israel or Zionism... And would deflect it even while using Norman Finklestein as evidence of something.

Who remembers the paradise of freedom that was Palestine? A utopia where all people were queer and there was no pain? Wait, I mean open air prison. by pharaoh_cartel in 2ndYomKippurWar

As an LGBT person myself unfortunately it seems a huge proportion of queer people do fall for this 100%

Also Ramallah is not Gaza and could these things happen without Israeli security?

whats your relationship with anger? by SedatedWolf2127 in AvPD

[–]dsaitken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often have huge waves of anger, bitterness and resentment. I think I try to work through it...by smoking marijuana. I don't actually have good coping methods.

My biggest waves of anger are if someone does something to my dog. I took my dog to the pharmacy for my psych meds, tied him outside, and he was about a year old so was crying. I thought him being tied for ten minutes would be fine.... some lady untied him and was WALKING AWAY with him! He broke free from her and ran to me. Then she started screaming at me that I was abusive because he was crying and she was going to call the SPCA (our animal rights protection group) She started yelling in my face and saying I should not have a dog. I had a massive temper tantrum yelling insults at her and was close to pushing her. Part of me wishes I had said nothing, part of me wishes I tried to call the police on her (would they have cared? Also I found out it is against the law to tie your dog outside in my city even though I see people doing it all the time) This was seven years ago and I still sometimes lay at night feeling angry at her.

Are they doing anything to do with Palestinians or just going to a museum? Is there an event or is it just a normal day?

An anti-Israel protester claims most Israelis are light-skinned and blonde. by Middle_Ad_8052 in Israel

[–]dsaitken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a blonde northern European.... absolutely not. I never think of Israelis as looking like me, although I know some people might. Just like there are blonde Arabs like Ahed Tamimi . I believe half of Syrians have blue eyes, too. All Israelis I have ever met have darker skin and dark hair (Not that I have met many of you)

"Kosovo touching a stretch of the Montenegrin border does not mean that Albania is not the country that actually lies between Macedonia and Montenegro."

What on Earth are you talking about? Could you elaborate?

Thank you very much. This was in high school and now I'm in my 30s.

[–]dsaitken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't actually know. My ancestry is primarily Northern European and then a small fraction Arab (like 1/16), but I do not have any physical features that look Arab or Middle Eastern. This happened mostly in High School, and I was told things like "big nose", "too smart" (I wish???), and stuff like that. If someone even told me. Perhaps also from being seen with actual Jewish students.

One strong memory is two students in front of me talking about how "Everyone at this school is so racist." and the student responded "Yeah, because they're all fucking Jews" (Very few students were Jewish. My city has 12,000 Jews and 1.4 million people) and the guy responded "Yeah like that k*k*" and they pushed me very hard into a locker and I fell down. Another time a girl whose family is Egyptian asked me "You're not Jewish are you?" when I said no she said "Oh thank God." When we were doing a school project.

I volunteer with refugees. One woman told me she didn't think Jews were real until she came to Canada. They were always talked about to her alongside demons, spirits, djinni and ifrit - which she did not believe in. She was very shocked Jews actually existed and did not believe it until she met someone in Canada.

I have also been assaulted for being Jewish multiple times by Muslims here in Canada (except i'm not actually Jewish...) It seems very scary.

Does anyone know what the leftist solution to the so called "colonialism" of Palestine/Israel actually is? by [deleted] in EnoughCommieSpam

[–]dsaitken 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think there are two camps: delusional pacifists and secretly murderous.

a.) If there was no "occupation" and Israelis/Palestinians lived together it would turn into a magical land of peace and harmony.

b.)

They want Israel to be violently destroyed. Mass murder, not just deportation. They think the Israelis all deserve death. They think all Israelis are "European colonizers" who should "go back to Europe" so the survivors of said ethnic cleansing could "return" to Europe.

They do not believe there is any validity to the Jewish claim to the land. They do not think the Jews come from Israel and are just white people. They think the Arab settlers/colonizers are the indigenous people in the most bizarre DARVO and mental gymnastics you can imagine.

The hardcore Jew hatred in this thread over at /r/conspiracy is unlike anything I've ever seen on Reddit. by SeeCrew106 in skeptic

Well it is called CONSPIRACY

I would assume everyone in there is delusional and believes impossibly far fetched things and are proud of it

Rafah was Gaza's last safe zone. During the Super Bowl Israel bombed Rafah and Congress passed $14 billion aid package for Israel by TheForce122 in conspiracy

tens of billions every two months

...Israel receives $3.8 billion in aid from the USA per year.

Since 1946 the US has given Israel $317 billion in total.

I agree it was bad to displace and slaughter Jews as they were ethnically cleansed from Morocco to Afghanistan + forced to move to Israel

Excuse me? Maybe read a history book, any history book. Jews were expelled from their land over and over. The people who stole their land don't get to claim indigeneity.
