  • When I can post literal quoted history and you aren’t capable of internalizing that it makes me feel you aren’t interested in a serious conversation about this.

    What was the group that forced Germany to pay reperations?

    In the quoted and cited incident, as I pointed out, there were no ‘allies’ who made Germany pay anything.

    In the postwar situation, no one made Germany pay reparations to anyone involved in this situation we are discussing except the survivors of the Holocaust, and those reparations had nothing to do with the land of Israel, which was under the British Mandate of Palestine.

    FFS you are crashing out my dude.

    Jesus fucking Christ.

    I’m sorry for having an understanding of the recent history of the region instead of some bizarre fucking fever dream.













  • Okay, so by “Zionists” are you referring exclusively to members of the Israeli government or might there perhaps be a broader ideology at play here?

    There’s a broader ideology at play here that is very deeply engrained in Israeli society.

    The meme reeks of a Bernie Sanders-esqe “Netanyahu is the problem” kind of narrative.

    Sanders is a politician, not a polisci professor. Politicians say what they think will get them closer to the solutions they think they can achieve, not necessarily what is objectively correct. “We need to get rid of the worst of the genociders who has sparked the current wave of genocide, and condemning 70% of Israeli society, however correctly, will not give us the allies we need to reduce the current stage of the genocide and move to the next step of a just and lasting peace” kind of thinking - Sanders has long been a radical, by US standards, voice in support of the Palestinian cause. Thinking that him focusing on the most immediate enemy is condemnation worthy is blinkered at best.

    I don’t care where they go, just leave the fucking indigenous people alone.

    … do you care if Israelis in Israeli-majority areas recognized by international law as part of the state of Israel remain in Israel, where many of them were born and raised?
