"This genocide and other genocides are being enabled and fueled by our own governments, our institutions, our media, and companies. It is our responsibility to end that complicity… to use our privileges, our platforms, to take a stance against this, that is in every way unjustifiable,” Thunberg asserted.
“I will never, ever comprehend how humans can be so evil that you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades and decades of suffocating oppression, apartheid, occupation,” she added.
She is right! Please focus on the victims and the actual perpetrators - the Israeli government and their army. NOT random jewish people. It’s so maddening to see fellow leftists get sucked into antisemitism because they can’t hold two ideas in their head like “The genocide in Gaza is wrong.” as well as “Genociding Israel would be wrong”. We are better than this goddammit!
Some of the worst Zionists aren’t even Jewish.
There’s so, so many people out there who can’t handle any shades of grey. They need the good people, the bad people and nobody else or in between.
I’m blown away by these vote counts bc they represent my dozens of real life conversations, whereas Lemmy usually doesn’t do that.
And they’ve completely overwhelmed all discussion in the fediverse.
What I have seen is the government saying it is antisemitic to judge their actions. Sadly some of the israeli population reacts the same.
That’s always been their cover. Back 20+ years ago when I was protesting Israel’s actions, I got called antisemitic so often, I finally stopped expressing opinions on it.
Yes what makes this different. Israel has been doing this kind of shit for decades and nobody cared. I guess it wasn’t as public and they might be killing more publicly now.
Eh the way the world has gone when I hear someone is religious any religion I now think their a piece of shit.
See I don’t know if you are being purposefully obtuse or maybe you really don’t know. The Jewish faith and the Jewish ethnic group are two things that don’t have to overlap.
I’ve gotten the sense there’s legitimately people who don’t know this.
Clearly not.
We
areshould be better than this goddammit!Here’s that droopy defeatist again. Everyone else but sad-socks here: look past, and forward, we can succeed in making change!
Naive optimism isn’t much better than defeatism. They’re both deviations from objectivity.
