So he refuses to tie human beings that he doesn't approve of to a post in the ground and throw large rocks at them until they die. That's refreshing.

Be careful talking about this. You’ll get banned from a lot of popular news subreddits, then get called an antisemite in bad faith. Meanwhile, the same people will turn a blind eye to Trump’s bullshit or will defend DeSatantorim

Wow, insane how the religious conservatives of every country are always deeply evil...doesn't matter the country, or the religion.

They're all self-righteous human garbage doing evil in the Name of their stupid, fake gods.

Referring to himself as a fascist homophobe is mocking the gay community and those who are antifascists. I'll bet the Gestapo used to do the same about the Jewish community The sickness that enveloped Germany last century isn't limited to German Fascists and Jewish people.

It's one thing to dislike the gays, but to deny them their precious weed?! INHUMANE!

He may finger them, but not stone them. (Fingering isn't mentioned in Leviticus, Numbers or Bloomburgh)

90% chance he got a BJ from a guy and liked it. 75% chance he gave one, and didn't.

Only months before he's found hiding the sausage and getting his rocks off with some dudes. As is tradition with everyone trying really hard to explain how super not gay they are.

It's a shame when the headlines about Israel are increasingly substitutable from what we'd expect from Iran.

Hardly surprising. Israel's government has been going off the rails for years now. Bibi has been under investigation for fraud and corruption for years and still keeps getting elected.

What??? An Israeli elected official that identifies privately as a fascist? No way.

The thing about feelings…they can be pretty deceptive sometimes. I can’t help that people have a boner for Zionism, and I think apartheid policy-led theocracies are bad. I’ve literally been downvoted for simply calling it what Amnesty International called it. Mind you…Jews and Israel aren’t mutually exclusive. Especially, since a good amount of Palestinians are Jews, right? I mean, the IDF straight up killed a decorated American journalist, brigaded anyone questioning their initial narrative, then still justified taking no responsibility after not being able to cover up the truth anymore. It shouldn’t be controversial to say these things, but that’s usually what I get DV’d for. I understand though…it’s difficult to be charitable for some people nowadays.

Thanks for calling that out. It's always the same story. "I got banned for antisemitism for calling the Israeli government bad!" Then you go to the comment they got banned for, and 90% of the time its them arguing that Israel is an illegitimate state, that it should cease to exist, that Jews are "illegal immigrants" that "stole" the entire country from Arabs, complaining that Israel is evidence that "Jews didn't learn their lesson from the Nazis", and other BS that straight up actually is antisemitic.

Racists make a similar argument that they may say something racist but it not like they are burning crosses. It’s bigoted simpleton gaslighting.

If we honestly disagree on a topic then there is a conversation to be had, a compromise to be made. But this guy claims to hate the gays and yet refuses to bludgeon them with stones until they are dead. How can you trust a man like that?

Like, I get the overwhelming stranglehold of far right parties over politics there but like, you'd think considering it's Israel of all countries they'd at least be upset about someone literally calling themselves a fascist

Iceblade02 t1_j70s684 wrote

I'm curious, from what I've read and heard so far some 30% of israelis are muslims and even more are of Arab ethnicity. However, I haven't seen any sources claiming other numbers for Palestinian jews (religious or not) than nil.

Would you care to share where you found this information so that I might read for myself?

Israel and the IDF lean heavily into that narrative. Pinkwashing helps convince a western audience that their government is "liberal and democratic" by centering LGBTQ rights, to distract from denying rights to and committing genocidal violence against Palestinians.

Why tf did Israelis vote for these people!? You’d think they, of all people, would know better about the dangers of fascism! The victims of the Holocaust must be rolling in their graves…

Avicennaete OP t1_j710qco wrote

Not surprising tbh considering the history and how Israel came to exist.

The Haganas and other terrorist militias (which eventually turned into the IDF), Pillaged Palestinian villages. Crazy thing is, many of those people were Holocaust survivors themselves.

When the Concentration camps were "liberated" the gay prisoners were just moved to other prisons. When some of the men tried to remove their shirts with the distinctive pink triangle logo identifying them as gay, the Jewish prisoners sold them out anyway to ensure they weren't released

We've simply moved past the point of where it's possible to be intelligent and religious.

It's absolutely narcissistic to say that your religion is the one true religion.

So the only people who do will be stupid or grifters.

Nope, the countries in the Middle East are built because people live there and they needed governance.

What's your point? Saudis didn't come from Russia to "yoink" a country, they are people who lived in Saudi Arabia for ages.

PsychologicalTalk156 t1_j7csdxm wrote

Because their electoral system is absolute garbage. They only get to vote for a "list of candidates", meaning only straight party votes are allowed. Then the parties arrange coalitions based on how many votes each list got. There's also no districting so all the votes are at large.

Spezia-ShwiffMMA t1_j7j9pd1 wrote

Ok... that doesn't change the fact that they're built on a religious and ethnic basis. Also most of the Middle East was literally colonized by the Saudis. Why do you think the whole region speaks Arabic? You literally could not have picked a worst country or region to make that point about. It would be like if you said France was imperialism and used Britain as an example of an anti-imperialist country lmao

omdano t1_j7jt1up wrote

To save you the 5 minutes it would've taken you to make any reasonable statement:

Arabic is actually not Saudi Arabian, more Levantine/Mesopotamian, but hold up... Didn't Romans rule that area during Islam's start?

Yes, Arabs were conquered by the Roman Empire (Look Nabateans) and the Islamic Conquest in that region was basically the reclaiming of those lands, any further conquest actually doesn't come from Saudi Arabia, it comes from non-Arab dynasties.
