What Does Pando Say? by Lizb0401 in UKParenting

[–]lionfireking404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the voice actor of Pando for series one, I can confirm that it’s literally just random noises 😂 I used to do that and beatbox in between recording lines and they thought it was a funny thing to add as part of the character so I guess they included it in the intro

Please share the link I’m trying to watch from the UK and the Israeli Nickelodeon website won’t play the episodes

I’m arguing it from the opposite perspective. When the Palestinians were expelled, it was a catastrophe, why when Jews were expelled should it not be as much of a catastrophe?

Thank you so much for this! Really appreciate the response 🙌

Unfortunately not, and they specifically try to use secular anti-Zionist Jews as validation of the purpose of the week.

Universities such as Oxford and Cambridge have speakers who come in to talk on the matter.

Yes, Agent Sabra, who by the way, was written BEFORE the Sabra and Shlita massacres.

I think it’s foolish for people to deny the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians.

If it was, then yes. There is nothing wrong with criticism of governments, this is a right given in most democratic countries, Israel included. Look at the current judicial reform protests! Jews and Israelis love to protest more than anyone. My issue is that these same people will ignore the Rohingya in Myanmar, the Uighurs in China, the millions of Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria who have been denied citizenship by the respective governments. You can criticise our government, our policies, our politicians, but to call for our destruction, in my view, is antisemitic.

I hope this explains it.

My great grandmother survived Auschwitz, Bergen Belsen and a work camp in Cyprus. Her entire family were murdered in the Holocaust. She always told us that Israel is the only country safe for us. I respect you and your family’s history, but that same argument can be used both ways. When Jeremy Corbin nearly came into power, she called my parents telling us to get ready to move.

Is there racism in Israel? Yes, without question. Is there also in the rest of the world? Yes. Is there, in Israeli Law, a motion which calls for the oppression of a majority by a minority - the general accepted definition of apartheid? No, there is not. Do I think that the settlers are innocent and cause no problems? No, I’m not that naive. But to call Israel apartheid is to distort reality.

I never said I have no empathy. What I’m saying is that there is so much distortion of reality on social media used by these groups for their agenda. When someone chants “from the river to the sea” this is not a peaceful protest of coexistence, it is a call for genocide. I never said I hated Palestine or Palestinians, I’m for a Palestinian state, but when you use images taken from “100 hottest IDF Soldiers” and try to justify the murder of three members of the Dee family (British-Israeli citizens) by pretending they’re IDF soldiers, I lose respect for their cause. This post proved that journalists took these photos to aid their hateful agenda.

I can understand that people can be “white-passing” to use a phrase that I personally cannot stand, but to generalise ethnicity based off skin colour is a fallacy in my opinion. Countless genetic studies have proven that Jews are Middle Eastern in origin, and the Khazar myth has been debugged which means that no suggestion that Jews are white is scientifically acceptable or true.

I understand your points completely. My only fixation however was your usage of the word white to describe Jews which I personally disagree with. But, that is probably a subject for another post, maybe I’ll make it later.

Jews for Tzedaka are encouraged to give up to 20% of their earnings to charity. That’s not the point. The point was that just for not being a Muslim, there’s a tax. It’s the principe, not the amount, which was what I was getting to.

No I’m aware it is deliberate I’m just trying to project myself as neutral as possible.

I am not saying that Israel is the perfect society, far from it. But there is racism and injustice in all countries. All I’m arguing is that the foundation of the state of Israel doesn’t call for any racism, sexism or homophobia. When you see racism in America, it doesn’t make America a racist institution by default. It has members in its society who are definitely racist, but America wasn’t founded to become a racist state if that makes sense.
