actually just anti-Bibi and his hardline genocidal policy, including a whole lot of Jewish people in Israel. And thinking it's bad to slaughter Palestinians, including women and children, is most certainly not the same as "pro-Hamas", except for binary simpletons like Keowee.

Nah...I have sern it for years. They are anti-Jew. Jews are the white oppressors. That's the way they see it. They support the Palestinians because they are people of color. It's mindless. They are silent about the teal oppressors, the leaders and the Muslim countries general speaking. Israel is fine. It's the surrounding people.

I'm just saying that you shouldn't fall in to Keowee's low-IQ trap of believeing everybody protesting what Israel is doing is "anti-Jew". They're a minority, and a pretty small one at that.

Six million of their people wiped out in the Holocaust and their nation was created as a safe haven response for the refugees, well, I tend to give a wide berth to them when they go full send on someone who surprise attacks, murders, rapes, and tortures their civilians and continues to hold them hostage.
Thus, if being pro-Israel is wrong in this case and that makes me anti-Palestine, so be it. Not sure how many Jewish people these folks think they can murder before the nation Israel gives them everything they have, but they're learning the hard way now.

at least to a point.
Hamas attacked Israel. This gives Israel a right to invade the country or city that harbors Hamas. I do hope they can limit civilian casualties. But it's not like Israel had no right to attack Gaza.

about Americans 2,403 died at Pearl Harbor. In WW2, about 3mil military and civilian Japanese died.
This is war. Hamas has what is coming to it. That doesnt stop me from supporting a 2 state solution headquartered in the West Bank.

I don't think it's possible to be anti-Israel while claiming to be "pro-Jew"....

And I'm speaking of "anti-Israel" in the broad sense, where you don't think Israel has a right to exist. It is possible to be pro-Jewish while also being critical of how Israel is conducting the war. There's a difference between outright antisemitism and criticizing Netanyahu's war against Hamas.
I don't think you can be pro-Hamas and pro-Israel. Hamas is nothing but a terrorist organization. So, I don't think being pro-Hamas lines up with anything other than being an antisemite and pro-violence. But not everyone in Gaza is part of Hamas. There are innocent people in Gaza.
I think Joe Biden largely is getting this right. He is anti-Hamas and he is pro-Israel. At the same time, there are citizens in Gaza in harm's way that are innocent, and that need help.

I certainly think it's possible but when you listen to the left wing trash at these protests it's pretty clear most of them want Israel to cease to exist. They aren't harassing random Jewish students because they've got a beef with Israeli military policy and they aren't chanting from the river to the sea because their ideal world includes the existence of Israel. Reasonable people can def be pro Jewish and anti Israeli but these aren't normal people and if you don't believe me go listen to them in their own words.

All protest movements tend towards extreme positions over time.
Apr 29, 2024, 2:16 PM
|
|
Extremists use anger and other emotion to intensify and sustain the movement. The extremists often change the initial cause, position and desired outcome. Protests tend to drift towards radicalism, unlawfulness, violence, destruction of property, infringement of the rights of others etc. Street criminals may join the protests and mob behavior can result. Initial moral justification of some protesters often gets lost when looking at the end product.
The point _ what starts out as free speech against a potential injustice often turns into a chit show.

Pro-Jew is a really weird idea.
Apr 29, 2024, 2:21 PM

I wouldn't call myself pro-Jew, -Christian, -Muslim, -atheist, or any other person based solely on their religious affiliation or lack thereof.
To the extent we're talking about Jewishness as an ethnicity, I would give a similar answer but replace religions with ethnicities.
Meanwhile, I'm not pro-Israel or pro- any other country. If we're talking about agreeing on Israel's conduct right now in the Gaza War, then that's something I could be for or against, but I'd never say I was pro- or anti- a country in a blanket sense.

have suddenly been cast into the role of oppressor. So, how do I call them out for oppressing others without seeming non-pro-Jew?
Has Israel actually been pooping on the Gazarians to the point where it should have been expected they would lash out? That seems to be the stance of folks who are coming across as pro-Hamas.

So you think Hamas is just lashing out? Do you thin they will ever accept Israel existing? They will not. They aren't just lashing out due to being oppressed.

Sure they have a right to resist. Is that what you call what Hamas did? If so, is the Taliban fine for you? How about ISIS? Hamas should resist, and Israel should wipe them out as they are doing?

There's no wiping out Hamas through military action and when you're doing what Israel is doing, you're only making more extremists.

They were already extremists. There will always be more. Maybe next time they will think twice about their terrorist attack on Israel? Maybe they won't? One thing for sure is that there will never be a two state solution. Those days of that possibility are over. That was a huge blunder by Hamas which they will never rebound. They haven't seen the end of it either. It's going to be a lot harsher over the next 20 years.

Saying you want to make things "harsher" for Palestinians makes me think that you want more Hamas. You're not alone, Netanyahu has a long history of supporting Hamas.

I am not sure what Bibi's motives are, but the Gazans are done. Hamas made it so there is no future. Personally, I hope Gaza just becomes all Israel. It's the only way for safety for Israel. Hamas proved that.
