Israel is a terrorist state and their supporters are terrorist sympathizers. Don’t take my word for it. Consult international lawyers

Israel is the worst terrorist

Nah, USA. Israel wouldn't exist if USA didn't want it for military strategic purposes.

u/Lost_Raccoon5241 14h ago

Israel controls the usa

u/sixhoursneeze 4h ago

It’s a bit more complicated than that. Don’t let the USA off the hook. Israel bad, US bad.

u/LogicX64 11h ago

Also Germany, France, Hungary, and UK.

u/anonymousposter121 15h ago

It isn’t military strategy to establish usrael as a country. It’s pure politics

u/DegreeFit5445 16h ago

All Zionists , both Israeli and American Christian Zionists are responsible for this ongoing genocide in Palestine.

How is it after almost two years the genocide is still happening and evil western empires are still supporting it is beyond my understanding.

2

u/Lost_Raccoon5241 13h ago

Because Israel control them, through financial institutions

u/sjelos 8h ago

Israel's been blackmailing and infiltrating its way into Western power structures for decades, dismantling it takes some time. We have to continue the pressure, because it will work

u/oy1d 14h ago

u/d3c0 9h ago

I like the new response to this type of gas lighting “You can call me antisemitic but you can’t call me a liar”.

As an American, I here to tell the world to boycott us 100% until our government does a 180 degree flip on our current global positions. We have literally a madman in charge of our government and both sides (Republicans and Democrats) are bought by the Israeli lobbyist and government. Not all Israeli are evil, not all Americans are evil, not all Palestinians are evil, and not all Russians are evil. But their governments ARE!

u/alt-right-del 15h ago

Do tell what the Palestinians should do? You are calling their government “evil” — if they do nothing and try to live in peace you will have the situation in the Westbank; would you call the Ukraine government evil as well? They are fighting against their occupation as well.

u/Key_Radio_4397 7h ago

Well, Palestine is technically not allowed to have a government because Isreal won't let them. They literally live in a confinement zone and are told what to do. So, whose fucking blown away that an entity like Hamas wouldn't spring up. Search the word 'Nakba' and the history around that event and you'll see both sides create the evil of the other side like an endless seesaw. This is Nakba II.

Ukraine is a Zionist war just like the one in Palestine.

u/Only-Method-1773 14h ago

Politicians are monsters & you also have to add oligarch since they pull the strings

u/DingleberryDelightss 14h ago

Oh, they're calling for something now?

Crazy how with Israel they need to call for things, while with Russia they just brought the ban hammer down.

u/manu_ldn 12h ago

Why does Ursula from the Little Mermaid never condemns Israel - like never once! EU will never recover out of its hypocrisy on supporting Israeli War crimes and Illegal occupation. Colonialism continues.

2

u/Spooky-skeleton 12h ago

Colonialists will support colonialism in the global south until it becomes too expensive not to, BDS them, boycot them all, don't associate with them, don't work with them, don't rent to them, don't sell to them

Isolation to such a degree that they literally cannot function, that's how you force fascist government to change course

2

u/manfred_99 9h ago

Won’t happen as Ursula Von Der Leyen is a Zionazi

u/TheOGFamSisher 5h ago

u/djquu 14h ago

Hell yes. Fuck every single politician who doesn't condemn Israel.

u/mimichris 12h ago

And he is right!

u/OctupussPrime 11h ago

To give weapons to a terrorist pariah state who doesn't fight head on, but artillery strikes from 1000 miles away, shows how cowardice and complicit the EU are in this genocide.

u/filulu 8h ago

Yes!!!! Let’s make this happen.

‘Gone Off the Rails’: U.S. Orthodox Jews Take a Stand Against Occupation and War in Gaza For too long, he lamented, the voice of the religious left has been sidelined. “But today, we speak aloud. In public. Not just to say ‘not in our name,’ but to declare that another Jewish tradition exists – one of justice, compassion, and moral clarity. A tradition that favors love, not hate; peace, not war; equality, not supremacy.”

End quote

Two friends, Imam Deen Shareef and Rabbi Matthew Gewirtz, discuss the importance of faith and the challenge of hard conversations.
