Plus, there are contrarians everywhere.

So basically, everyone involved in this incident is a terrible person. Lovely.

I assume if he had shot Palestinians like he thought he did, DeSantis would have given him some sort of award.

Good luck now that you’ve said that. You’re going to be savaged by a certain type of vegan in PM. I was spammed by one this morning and I didn’t even mention animal products recently as far as I know.

(There are decent vegans, but then there are the asshole type who feel like they can berate and harass people into veganism.)

Yes, and that’s ridiculous. It’s part of the “everything he does is a distraction from the really bad stuff” argument I keep seeing on Lemmy. Except it isn’t. He’s doing a shit ton of damage right out in the open right after saying he’s going to do it.

Don’t believe him on firing a ton of government employees? Don’t believe him on tariffs? Don’t believe him on mass deportations? No, all of that is a distraction. And why don’t the people affected realize that when they should be not believing him since this is all a distraction?

“Don’t believe him” might as well be “ignore the suffering.”

I have heard that so many times now…

You’re missing what so many people seem to be missing because I keep seeing people say things like this: they do not care about the law. They don’t care. And now they don’t have to care.

You are changing the subject. You were talking about jihad within the context of the images you pasted. They do not talk about jihad in the context of violent resistance.

Please do demonstrate that, because the images you shared talk about armed resistance, which means that if they get attacked, they’re going to fight back. That’s as close as it gets to what you’re saying.

What you got was a definition of jihad you disagree with. That is not the same thing.

Jihad means “struggle” in Arabic. That has a broad range of interpretations. You deciding it must mean violence and only violence is the issue here.

I don’t like the state of Israel, but I don’t want the world to lose the Jewish people

Well then you’re in luck, because more Jews live outside of Israel than live in it. Myself being one of them. Fuck Israel, it doesn’t represent me and suggesting it does is, frankly, bigoted.

Israel is not the Jewish State even if it wants to say it is. That claim benefits two groups:

1. The Israeli government
2. Evangelicals who believe that all of the Jews in the entire world have to be forcibly deported to Israel in order for Jesus to return.

And meanwhile, that sentiment increases antisemitism, it doesn’t reduce it. Israel makes the world less safe for me and my family. It does not protect me. It never has, it never will.

You don’t even need to leave Afghanistan. Afghanistan before the Soviets invaded was a very different place.

Can you point to any of the Hamas supporters on Lemmy? I have yet to meet one.

Is this supposed to be some gotcha that justifies Israel’s genocide? Because what does Israel think of all of the women they are killing? And in Syria as well.

What isn’t releasing billions of microplastic particles? We’re fucked.

Jesus and God are part of a trinity, so that’s not really an “or” situation, unless you’re one of the minority of Nontrinitarian Christians. But I was thinking of John 3:18 in specific:

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

To be fair, he also suggested if they worshipped other gods, they’d be punished in hell for it. That’s why I’m not a massive fan. But I like the ‘be nice to people’ part.

In the femosphere, as in the manosphere, there’s an overarching belief that life is about survival of the fittest, that men will always hurt women and that will never change, so strategies are needed to conquer the opposite gender.

I’m not a massive fan of the guy they nailed to a tree 2000 years ago for saying maybe people should be nice to each other once in a while, but the violent reaction to that suggestion no longer surprises me.

There were 24,849 homicides in 2022.

Almost none of them, if any, likely required a nationwide manhunt.

Not one of them required an escort of 30 police officers plus a helicopter to the courtroom.

As far as I can tell, none of them were charged with terrorism.

And now he’s getting as biased a judge as he could possibly get.

If we’re going to start charging murderers with terrorism, let’s start with the cops.

You don’t have to take my word for it. Just ask his former best friend: https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-798324

But feel free to explain why you think he won’t sign the deal.
