That’s not a tweet bro.

Sir, this is a memes community.

Here’s the original article: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-envoy-italy-calls-magazine-antisemitic-over-settler-violence-coverage

Pronouncing Zionism correct this way is assuming History is over, and the argument is settled. It’s not. Zionism has created an apartheid genocidal ethnostate that requires 7.5 million people to dominate militarily half a billion people in perpetuity. Forget immoral and abhorrent, that’s just not sustainable.

Oh I see, that was a literal testimony! Sorry for calling it a rant and thanks for that bit of education.

Lol, is “Passover testimony” a jewish tongue in cheek way of referring to a rant? Do uncles usually go off on rants on Passover dinners? 😄

You know how the way the homeopathic charlatans work is by diluting a tiny amount of active ingredient into a huge amount of water and then tell you that creates more potent medicine?

Don’t you see the same logic here? They are not diverting the funding that used to go to pseudoscience towards evidence based care. No no no, sir. They are diluting a tiny bit of good decision making (defunding the quacks) in a huge amount of bad decision making (healthcare cuts).

Just like you can’t dilute a tiny bit of, I dunno, acetaminophen in a 100 liters of water and claim it is still medicinal, you also can’t dilute a tiny bit of reasonable policy in billions of euros of cuts and call the whole package sensible.

And let us never forget that the only reason Zionism won out was not because it prevailed ideologically, but because the fucking Nazis just straight up killed off most of the Bundists and terrorized most of the rest into silence.

That also applies to non-Ashkenazi leftists by the way. The formidable Avraam Benaroya, a Sephardic labor leader giant from Salonica and one of the founders of the Greek socialist movement, was forced to become a grocer at some small Israeli town later in life, due to the complete defeat of the Greek left and its inability to overcome the nationalist frame.

It’s entirely a stereotype, popularized by European autocratic régimes as a way to channel popular resentment away from nobility and royalty.

At the time when ancient Israelites were sacrificing animals, the practice is the norm all around the Levant, the Fertile Crescent and the Mediterranean, so nothing special. If you want to “go back a bit further” you’re not talking about Judaism anymore but about earlier Canaanite and Mesopotamian religions.

Just conservatives enshittifying things.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. So much of Zionist paranoia is explainable (not excusable) as intergenerational trauma, as the long hand of Nazi cruelty reaching through the decades.

Which also tells you something about what kind of future the Israelis have secured with the Gaza genocide… People growing up with that memory are just brutalized.

I’m a dual Canadian-EU citizen and I oppose Canada joining the EU. I’m all for tighter relations of course but there are parts of the EU legal and economic framework that Canada should not have anything to do with.

Most importantly, the EU rules for state aid make it impossible to implement democratic socialist policies that remove sectors of the economy from the for-profit market. The public options that new NDP leader Avi Lewis is proposing to correct market failures become legally impossible. The bold ecosocialist policies needed to transition away from the planet killing economic policies, predicated on infinite growth, become legally impossible.

Beyond that, joining the EU means signing on to the Stability and Growth Pact and taking up the commitment to join the Eurozone. The SGP would have made even the left-liberal policies of first term Trudeau impossible. The Euro structurally ties the Canadian economy with that of Germany’s and its sclerotic fiscal dogmatism. (You’re goddamn right I haven’t forgotten how the Eurogroup treated Varoufakis’ reasonable proposals with contempt and condemned Greece to decades of unnecessary misery.) Canada does not need them.

Of course, if the EU were to reform and climb down from the doctrinaire neoliberalism that underwrites many of its most important treaties, I would be open to changing my mind. But as it is, nope, nope, nope.

Yes?

And how do they plan to pay for the climate-change damage that causes? For the property damage, emergency services and insurance costs caused by additional flash floods, wildfires, heat domes, and droughts?

For a bunch of conservatives, this is fiscally irresponsible.

(Let’s start using their language against them.)

Far right fuckface tries to make a point using a swastika.

Gus Fring meme.

We are not the same.

I hear you. It’s already stressful and doom-and-gloom for us outside the US, doomscrolling the latest Republican madness, I can only imagine having to live through it without the protective distance. Sorry, friend. You’re not alone, even if we sometimes bark at you when we should know better.

I apologize for touching the nerve, and I probably used a problematic word with “banal”. What I meant to say is that in the US this has (unfortunately) become normalized, horrific as that might sound. Just this Saturday you guys had 5: https://www.massshootingtracker.site/ and we didn’t hear a pip about them here in Canada, because it’s (horribly) not uncommon any more.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Shit like this is not banal outside the US.

It was a first probe. I look forward to when Chinese ships go back and forth to Iranian ports and the US has to decide if they are going to start WW3 for the ego of a narcissistic dotard.

If we’re going with “textbook definitions”, then let’s apply the “textbook definition” of what is acceptable political action against a government that enables a genocidal apartheid regime.

Textbook definition my ass.
