@realcaseyrollins Jews as a people are wonderful people and all, but fuck Israel, cant say I'm too fond of Iran either though.
As far as I'm concerned Israel shouldnt even exist as a nation and its nothing short of genocide what they have done and are doing to palestine. So I am never going to be happy with the country from a government perspective. But I dont hold any ill will towards the citizens themselves or Jews in general.
@realcaseyrollins This.. though keep in mind there is one frame farther to the left not shown here where the whole area is entierly green and no israel exists at all.
@realcaseyrollins Ahh it would seem there is a big chunk of history there you didnt learn.. I'll give you the cliff notes...
Prior to WWII there were now Jews in Israel (called Palestine at the time). Palestine itself was populated entierly by palestinians and had a nomadic desert society coupled with a handful of urban areas, all populated by Palestinians.
After WWII there were a bunch of displaced Jews from the war who refused to go back to Germany where they used to live. As part of the talks at the newly forming UN (of which palestine was not included) they were given sections of land as their own taken away from Palestine without their permission, which they had no way to defend against.
Immediately the Palestinians of course objected and rallied against having their own sovereign land taken away from them. Other middle-eastern nations generally supported the Palestinians. As such a war for them to keep their homeland effectively began that continues to this day.
Since Israel/Jews were backed by much more powerful nations like the USA despite their much smaller numbers and otherwise lack of resources they had a significant upper hand and quickly fought back the Palestinians.
Over the years the Jews continually took more and more land from them for themselves and kicked out the Palestinians who lived there while the USA and other nations kept supporting the Israli side of the war effort.
Now in modern times most of the Palestinian land has been taken from them and owned by Israel. The Palestinians have been forced to live in very small plots of lands and effectively now survive in falling apart ghettos with little fresh water or education to sustain them and very little ability to fight back.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins Culminating in a literal apartheid state.
Yup. Probably the most defended and misrepresented apartheid of modern times really.
@freemo @eletrotupi @realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club Part of the difficulty of speaking out against the behavior is people have a hard time disentangling the Israeli state, Israeli people, Jewish religion, and Jewish people (many of whom are secular).
With so much anti-semitism in the US (especially now), speaking out about the Israeli stateโs actions can easily come across as anti-semitic.
Yes I've faced that problem myself. Despite the fact that I have never said a mean word against the jewish people themselves I have had jewish friends of mine disown me and claiming I was anti-semetic for actively posting anti-israel content.
Its bizarre as I often post anti-USA content too but no one things am attacking its citizens in doing so...
