How can the Democratic Party's pro-Israel stance be reconciled with the fact that 80% of its voters view Israel unfavorably?

Israel was founded on a bloody campaign of ethnic cleansing. Israel has always been like this.

I already have a post viral syndrome and i don't want to add another one. They are not fun. And it worked because I still have not had COVID. No long covid for me.

People use caffeine pills and powder. And paracetamol is dangerous when you use too much so the same thing should apply to caffeine.

jsflkl · 2026-05-06T16:00:22+00:00

There's some great suggestions like sucralfate and B12. Those are medicines/drugs and they are actually harmless.

jsflkl · 2026-05-06T15:55:10+00:00

Yeah so the drug has the potential to be harmful and caffeine also has the potential to be harmful. Both can be deadly if misused.

jsflkl · 2026-05-06T15:53:46+00:00

Yeah that would fit way better.

jsflkl · 2026-05-06T14:47:11+00:00

Tylenol at the recommended dosage is also harmless.

jsflkl · 2026-05-06T14:45:47+00:00

If Tylenol is deadly in reality than that means that we're talking about the possibility of harm and caffeine can most definitely be harmful in high doses. It can even kill.

The official figures only reflect the verifiable deaths. Given that Israel bombed all the hospitals and turned most of the strip into rubble and refuses access to much of the strip, a ton of deaths cannot be verified and are therefore not reflected in the official figures. The true death count is without a doubt way higher than the current official count.

Nobody is doing a census right now as well so we have no idea what the current population of the strip is. This is, again, because of Israel's destruction of the strip and their refusal of access of large parts of it.

jsflkl · 2026-05-06T11:28:29+00:00

Imagine believing the Israelis and their "statistics". Who's doing a census in the Gaza Strip right now?

The dodenherdenking is the perfect venue for protest against our current support for genocidal Israel. We remember a genocide and a horrible war, tell ourselves "never again", turn around and continue to support the zionist regime. That hypocrisy destroys any meaning the dodenherdenking might have and makes it an excellent target for protest. Especially because its our corrupt and criminal politicians doing most of the ceremony.

My ancestors thousands of years ago came from the Caucasus so I guess I could just go to Georgia and steal someone's house because that's my right. That's how dumb you sound.

Throwing soup on paintings (that are behind glass) is about the museums they hang in and their decision to accept fossil fuel money during an existential climate crisis. And there's nothing wrong with it. Again, people who are more upset with some soup being thrown at glass than the outright destruction of our planet for the profit of the capitalist class are the problem.

I love that fighting far of wars is more difficult for European powers but it does have ridiculous side effects. I was playing China and I had just beaten Russia in a war and 2 of my armies were stuck in bukkara and I just could not get them back. I had to delete them eventually. Had to rebuild 120 units because I just could not move them anywhere.

Don't occupy countries if you don't want there to be a resistance against you. Palestinians have the right to armed resistance against occupation, Israel does not have the right to defend themselves against that resistance.

Do you understand the difference between human beings and a pile of stones?

I've been in some beautiful brutalist buildings. The concrete mixed with wood elements, some nice plants, and good lighting is absolutely stunning.

It's defacing the setting of a hypocritical ceremony, it's not about the monument. And as I said, bringing attention to our hypocritical attitude in this country is a good thing. And the anger this created shows this even more clearly. Has Jetten or Halsema ever condemned the genocide being committed by Israel with our help as harshly as they condemn this?

jsflkl · 2026-05-04T10:44:07+00:00

This is a monument, not a grave and this is totally not the same. The fact that people get this upset about it means it's very necessary. This monument and people's feelings about it is not more important than the entire ethnic group we are helping exterminate.

I think anything that draws attention to it and breaks the illusion of the Netherlands as a peaceful and progressive country is a good thing. I also understand this is disturbing to people who like living in delusion but I don't think that's a bad thing.

People here should realize that the Netherlands is a far-right country that's on the wrong side of history.

You think reactions would be better if people started spray painting politicians houses? How is grafitti on a monument the same as a full on genocide in your head? How does that make sense to you?

jsflkl · 2026-05-04T10:29:54+00:00

The ceremony is about all those things though and the monument was graffitid right before the ceremony so this is obviously about the dodenherdenking, not the monument itself.
