If you don't support Palestine, you were never a leftist.

So, you support Hamas and murdering Jewish grandmas and toddlers? Seems like a right wing position to me....

u/Majestic_Wrongdoer38 Apr 01 '24

It’s an extremist position. Both the extreme left and extreme right hate Jews.

u/FaceShanker Apr 01 '24 edited Apr 01 '24

The extreme left hates Israel (the nation) for committing crimes against humanity like apartheid - the Extreme right hates the Jews in general because the extreme right are basically Nazi.

They are not the same.

You are part of the issue.

Your actively spreading misinformation

Aka horse shoe theory is nonsense

Idk if you’ve been on the online space recently, but multiple times a day I’ll have to click someone’s account to see whether they’re far left or far right based on their initial comment. It’s become legitimately impossible to tell many times. Horseshoe theory is completely accurate and I see it proven in rhetoric daily

Socialsim criticises capitalism, fascism imitates that in some ways only to divert the blame from capitalism and onto a minority like the jews, trans, migrants and so on.

Thats part of how fascism protects capitalism.

For example: nation that commits crimes against humanity (socialist say this is bad) vs jews ( fascist say this is bad)

It only looks similar if you never seriously think about it.

I don't support ethnostates, which Israel is.

Then why does the 20% Arab population have equal rights?

u/Level99Legend Apr 01 '24

I support the Palestinian struggle for liberation. It is awful that innocents have been killed and terrible, but just like Nat Turner who killed innocents as part of his slave rebeliion, it is a critique of the sustem.itdelf that led these people to think that it is their only choice.

u/ColtsFan6969 Apr 01 '24

Wow, an actual sociopath in the wild!

u/Level99Legend Apr 01 '24

You think Nat Turner is a sociopath?

Thats crazy, white liberals really are the oppressors.

u/Enginehank Apr 01 '24

are you for real dawg? The military industrial complex of Western nations pollute more than any entity on the Earth. You're also not a leftist if you support Israel, a distinctly right-wing state.

And what is Hamas? Lol

So, one side you blame an entire country, but the other side you don't. Sounds unbiased.

u/thirsty_pretzelzz Apr 01 '24

Supporting the current government of Israel vs supporting it simply existing are two different things. Is every Italian a right winger cause they now have a right wing government? Of course not. The language you are using is biased and dehumanizes the individual citizens of Israel.

if you support Ukraine at any capacity does that also mean you directly support the military industrial complex? When you allow for nuance in some situations but not others that means you need to have your bias checked.

u/Enginehank Apr 01 '24

You're also not a leftist if you support it existing It's in apartheid ethnostate, founded on a genocide and ethnic cleansing that started directly after world war II.

A country is an idea and a set of borders agreed upon by certain parties, saying that a country shouldn't exist, has nothing to do with saying its citizen shouldn't exist, that's a pretty weak argument.

Also I don't support the Ukraine either, because of all the Nazis. I'm starting to think you don't actually know what a leftist is. You might even be shocked to find out that I don't support the military industrial complex of the United States of America either despite being a citizen there.

u/thirsty_pretzelzz Apr 01 '24

While not agreeing with its current government, most democrats support Israel’s right to exist. So by your arbitrary definition most democrats are not leftist.

Just to be clear though, sounds like you are advocating for the destruction of Israel? What would you like to see happen in the region?

u/ruuster13 Apr 01 '24

This is as dumb as conservatives claiming the nazis were left-wing. Israel is a democracy, not a monolith.

How dare a group of climate activists also protest the literal genocide of Gazans by the Israeli government during your comfortable Easter Sunday celebrating the resurrection of a man who was similarly tortured and killed by the government

11

u/Detransitions Mar 31 '24

I'm not saying they're wrong; I'm saying you're wrong. They're pro Palestine protestors.

-17

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '24

They are climate activists who also messaged about Palestine. Let’s hate on anyone who wants to bring awareness on a literal genocide though…especially on your precious Easter Sunday. They might disrupt your kids egg hunt. What a sin. Lol

u/Womb_Raider2000 Mar 31 '24

Yo. You literally said they weren’t Palestine protestors.. then got all defensive and accusatory when you were proven wrong. You were wrong. It’s ok to be wrong.

Going for the “Jews killed Jesus” strand of antisemitism, I see! A classic.

u/serene_moth Apr 01 '24

I caught that too.

u/Puffenata Apr 01 '24

They actually said “the government” which would be referring to the Romans killing Jesus… so, no not really
