I've been thinking of joining. Seems this makes the decision easy.

Their number one mistake would have been trusting America to begin with.

There should need to be no Israeli propaganda to convince them not to trust America.

The US has the power to stop Israel from carrying out an attack. Iran knows this, they had said before any attacks happened that if an attack is carried out they will cease negotiations and start focusing on the development of nuclear weapons.

From what I've seen since the attack, they are sticking to this plan.

If you aren't banned on reddit, you aren't harsh enough.

I don't have any right now but I typically take them out on opposite corners, then work towards the middle. Like this.

You're ignoring the fact that under decades of occupation resistance is inevitable.

The October 7 operation or a similar event was inevitable, whether it be October 7 2024, this year, next year, or 5 years from now.

You are Partially right in that there is evidence Israel knew it was going to happen and allowed it.

You are also partially right in that "the terrorists" were state sponsored, in that a non-insignificant amount of the destruction was done by IDF soldiers performing "the Hannibal directive" and firing on their own people wildly.

You are absolutely wrong in the implication that Hamas was involved in an "inside job" or were "state sponsored". Or that them choosing not to do the Oct 7 operation specifically would have stopped the genocide that Israel had been planning long before Oct 7 happened.

There's nothing civil about coping for genocide by comparing outrage directed at those enabling and supporting it to anti-abortion rhetoric.

8 are still being held. I'm most worried about Rima Hassan as she's a Palestinian and still being held.

Um actually is a "less deadly" weapon so it's perfectly fine to shoot at whoever you feel like!

On.

I'm blind as hell without my glasses and I never remember to bring my extra pair so if I'm wearing my sunglasses they stay on no matter what. If it was only going to be a few minutes I wouldn't swap even if I had my normal pair.

I never understood the "sunglasses indoors in douchey" thing anyway.

Based. I boycott Israeli/Israeli supporting products wherever I reasonably can, not just for economic reasons (though I'm glad that's having an effect) but for security reasons as well.

They certainly didn't help themselves with the pager terrorism and constant spying through their apps/programs. Even aside from the boycott for moral reasons, you couldn't pay me to use an Israeli company directly.

If you know someone you can't convince to boycott Israeli products using the morality argument, try using the security one.

It should but people love giving Europe a pass whenever they can for some reason.

While their statement is a hyperbolic and reductive statement about only the other side of the symbiotic relationship, we must also not strip Israel of its agency. Also, Israel≠Jews, as much as Israel tries to convince you they are the same.

In the macro scale. Yes, Israel is propped up by the west as a powerful tool against other regional powers and the imperial system funnels funds into their upkeep.

But it's also true that in the micro scale. Politicians are more directly and personally rewarded to keep those funds flowing (AIPAC exists regardless of tropes) and Israel uses the leverage they have as one of the more valuable strategic tools to grant them leeway others wouldn't have.

It's a two way street. Israel and The US/west aren't parasites leeching off one or the other, they're symbiotic.
