Probably the only non-evil response.
It fails the ‘all it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing’ test.
It fails the ‘If I was in Nazi Germany, I would have resisted’ test.
But I suspect that that isn’t the reason used by Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.de
I would guess that he would have supported Rhodesia if his government said that to oppose them was racist against white people.
You edited to add ‘nowadays’.
What a cowardly edit.
How was it okay to back the terrorist group ANC (Nelson Mandela was a convicted terrorist) and call for the fall of the Apartheid South African government in the 80’s, yet not okay to call for the downfall of the Apartheid ethnostate that Nelson Mandela said the concentration camp they created (Gaza) was worse then any of the Bantustans created by Apartheid South Africa?
What Israel is doing is quantitatively worse then Apartheid South Africa. Why was calling for the end of that government okay?
$5 says you’re too much of a coward to answer that question, even if only to yourself.
You make up people calling for a Jewish genocide in this thread, but you still can’t bring yourself to use the word Genocide for the state that set up torture rape camps that they used to rape doctors to death.
Why the double standard? Why does calling for a single state with equal rights for citizens constitute calling for a genocide, but you can’t call the country that has bombed and destroyed every hospital and school while continuing to block all access to food genocidal?
Why the double standard?
But are they self sealing?
So freedom of speech shouldn’t allow people to say that apartheid South Africa shouldn’t exist? That Nazi Germany shouldn’t be allowed to exist?
I can remember when opposing apartheid ethnostates was the correct moral opinion.
What happened?
What makes Israel different?
Or are double standards proof of anti semitism only when they’re negative?
EDIT: No response needed from moral cowards that would have protected apartheid South Africa, Belgium Congo, or Nazi Germany from criticism that they should not be allowed to exist.
You probably won’t read this, but things like this are EXACTLY why freedom of speech exists.
You would have condemned Nat Turner and justified slavery.
You’ve been denying every bit of that and been explicitly pro-israel to the point of deleting pro Palestinian comments over non-existent rules violations over in the news community.
I remember you defending the Sde Teiman torture-rape camp when the videos first came to light.
I find it impossible to believe someone, let alone a biased moderator of News, that defended Sde Teiman would find anything disturbing.
P.S. tags are fun.
A statement that makes it clear you haven’t paid attention go Libya since NATO destroyed it.
Maybe they’ll do a better job than NATO.
Can’t get much worse.
Germanies legal definition of antisemitism includes criticism of Israel.
I’m also using this, and it works.
I’m enjoying how the obvious rebuttal to this stupid propaganda talking point is now so widespread I don’t have to say it anymore.
Bibi has been the head of the government in Israel for twenty something years and ran a pretty rightwing and harsh genocidal apartheid regime.
You don’t beat them by being them.
You also don’t win by lying about Obama assassinating American Citizens intentionally.

But, by all means, please continue lying.
You may be mistaking him for one of his children whom we’ve also killed.
It absolutely was targeted.
Why are you saying it wasn’t?
They’re attempting to justify the unjustifiable.
They’re polite and calm about it, you’re correct. But those words pertain to how information is transmitted, not something that can be used to consider the morality of the information contained therein.
Do not confuse a kind way of saying horrible things as making the horrible things not horrible.
You’re more respectful then the person you are responding to deserves.
Biden tried and failed to secure cooperation from Sisi to ethnically cleanse them to the Sinai desert and failed.
The administrations are obviously different. This is not an example of that.
We’re not extinct, just older.
Sad thing is that the number of people your age or older only goes down.
VOA is explicitly American propaganda. That is literally its public purpose and goal.
NoneOfUrBusiness is one of the most consistent anti genocide, anti apartheid voices in Lemmy.
Enough so that I recognize their username even without tags.
They’re making a point here, and it isn’t to justify Israels apartheid or genocide.
