        It’s why so many parents want to have home schooling. Some have legitimate complaints about the failings of the public school system, but from what I can tell most in the US just wasn’t to be able to brain wash their kids better without outside stimuli messing it up.

    Amsterdam pogrom

    lol these freaks leave their fascist occupation state for a few days to commit violent hate crimes in Amsterdam against gentiles (that look “Arab”, I wonder why) and then call it a pogrom. Truly delusional.

        Yes, that’s correct. I’m not sure about the crowds in response, actually, all the video I saw was zionist hooligans marauding about the city doing violence against anyone who looked Arab and threatening anyone with a camera.

    Well, you tried reasoning with him. Maybe try guilt? Whenever I was insistent on doing something my mother didn’t like she would get a good cry going and ask why I hated her so much. It never worked, but I did feel slightly bad when I did it anyway.

    That sub is either a social experiment or a psyop, or zionists are just that deranged

      Have you tried shrilly shouting “What? What? Whaaaaatt???!!!” My mother would do this whenever confronted with the blatant antisemitism of my school friend. Although he would insist that she “respect his authoritie.”

    • I saw my mom at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told her I was going out with friends to be at a rally and didn’t want to be left out, and I didn’t believe in what the event stood for, and that I wasn’t antisemitic, she said, “Oh, like you are right now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her crying as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “mam, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

        “There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children”

        I’m not being pedantic for the sake of pedantry, but what they said was “because there are no children left”; they’re celebrating that they’ve killed the children of Gaza (I make this distinction because without the word ‘left’ it sounds like they don’t believe there are children there; it’s instead because they’re celebrating killing children)

      I think there are two things here that are true at the same time. One, Israel despite its claims isn’t synonymous with Judaism. And two, most Jews love and support Zionism. It’s kind of like whiteness and white people I think.

The Elites of Israel, the U.S. and every colonized land are the same. Meanwhile the proletariat are the only ones who pay the price of scapegoating religious and ethnic groups. I understand your reservations about Israel being included in a two-state solution, but you sound like a “squishy” fed.

              The Elites of Israel, the U.S. and every colonized land are the same.

              Not when you consider global hegemony, resource extraction and what proletariat benefits from another. Despite your dismissal, the support of Israel amongst most Jewish people is no different to me than the significant amount of Catholics who believe in atrocious policies regarding abortion, childbirth, etc. Of course, the political topics are different; but there is a overwhelming, prevalent culture of believing in “divine” moral paradigms from birth. Like abortion is wrong, Israel has a right to exist and belongs to their holy land, etc.

              Regardless, the proletariat in Israel and the United States are a part of the imperial core; having much more in relation to their oppressing class than the proletariat of the global majority whom their land, resources and people are exploited, extracted and used on a scale far larger than anywhere in the core. American and Israeli citizens aren’t being wrapped up in a genocide.

              the proletariat are the only ones who pay the price of scapegoating religious and ethnic groups.

              There’s a litany of reasons to criticize every religious belief on this planet; but christianity and judaism as well as Islam have deserved plenty of it. Pointing out the decades of religious indoctrination, propaganda from the bourgeoise in Israel and America and fundamentalism isn’t scape-goating. It’s the “brute facts” that seemingly touched a “nerve” of yours. Jews are of many cultures and their religion and ethnic groups aren’t inherently tied.

              two-state solution

              There is only one state, Palestine. Imagine someone saying this about Ireland. Israel as a genocidal and religious state should not exist. No religious state should exist. Most Jews indigenous to the region/semitic are treated as second-class citizens.

          Hard to get a great answer but nearly half of all Jews live in Israel where support for the genocide is near universal and whenever you see polling of various Jewish diaspora communities there tend to be a lot of Zionists. It’s highly likely that it is at least a plurality if not a strict majority of Jewish people that are Zionists.

      Zionists, Jewish & Christian, don’t believe Israel’s war on Gaza to be genocide because they consider any detraction to be anti-Semitic propaganda even if Israeli groups like B’tselem, associated Israeli or Jewish groups, or even the verbatim words of Israeli politicians and media figures expressing genocidal intent in very obvious terms and statements.

      It’s telling that when Dershowitz was confronted with one of the ICC prosecutors being a Jewish holocaust survivor that Dershowitz dismissed him not as anti-Semitic but as merely mistaken.

      It is unsaid but very obvious, that Israeli politics revolve around the notion that the existence of Palestinian people in their historic homeland is anti-Semitic, and therefore worthy of annihilation by violence or displacement.

    • A family member I know has a zionist friend like this. I heard them whining about their neice supposedly being “anti-semitic” (they’re Jewish too obviously) because they don’t unquestionably support Israel.

      Most zionists believe that if you do not support Israel, you’re basically a Nazi.

            No I’m responding directly. The purposeful conflation of terms to muddy definitions and confuse the argument is called equivocation

            Cognitive dissonance is a psychology phenomenon where people separate contradicting ideas they hold and place a barrier between them in their mind to avoid ever thinking of both at the same time because it causes pain, the same type of mental discomfort we experience when we are confronted with being wrong about something.

            Kind of the opposite of what they were discussing, where multiple things get shoved into one amorphous blob.

      Honestly speaking, I think it’s just old fashioned colonialism and racism; the zionists in Israel took the land and the people they consider subhuman (Arabs) don’t have equal human rights and thus they don’t have the right to fight for their homes and for justice because that would require them to first believe Arabs are human beings. As for identifying with the Jews living in Israel, I think that’s just simply identifying with people who share a similar identity with you. If they saw Arabs as human beings, I think they’d have a harder time supporting Israel; it doesn’t help that media constantly, constantly, CONSTANTLY demonizes non-Western countries; it’s basically the reason people are fine with war crimes and interventions in non-Western countries but blow a gasket if something similar was attempted against us.
