This is manufactured consent.
The media want you to think everyone is outraged, the owners of the media are rich and want their rich friends who also run the country and went to the same private schools and clubs to keep making money selling British weapons and planes to Israel to bomb children.
So you have to be told to think thousands of people chanted for death to an organization that is killing children is a bad thing and the govt starving an entire population is the good guys.
I care. I think it's awesome.
Yes, and I'm all for it.
Might even give them a listen.
Personally I think it's fantastic and long overdue. Hating genociders is finally "cool" and I am 100% here for it.
I care, I like that dude a little more now.
Has anyone ever blinked an eye for the quarter of a million dead Russian Soldiers invading Ukraine? No, in fact we cheer for Ukraine to get rid of all of them in any way possible right?
Well IDF is worse.
The difference is that the IDF is comprised of Jewish military personnel and for "some" reason, these days you aren't allowed to criticize any actions from anyone with said heritage.
It's stupid, really.
If you're an asshole, I will call you an asshole. Being Jewish has nothing to do with that equation
Right now, the Israeli government and the IDF are engaged in a genocide. Period. Them being Jewish, I don't care. Right now these fuckers are literally no different from the Nazi army and, you know, Nazis. The worst thing of all, i guess, is that the irony of Jews acting like Nazis is completely lost on these fuckers. If at least they'd realize what they have become, maybe it could baseball bat smack some sense into their heads, but no.
Criticizing a Jewish military officer for committing genocide is the same as committing genocide on Jews. Or something. I don't know, don't ask me, it just doesn't make any sense.
I guess this can be best summed up with "fuck all religions" because at the core this is just religion being used yet again to fuck over some group of people." Without religion, most people suddenly aren't so happy to blow up little children, but with?
Our God said its okay!" is all the excuse the Nazis needed and its the same excuse that the extremist Israelis use to support their child murderers.
Stay on topic brother, an army of a real country full of real people are doing the genocide. Not a religion. The reasons are irrelevant as there can be no justification for genocide.
Yep, them being jewish matters exactly 0. Even bringing it up is literally just an attempt to muddy the waters, and as such it's the simplest way to find out who supports genocide.
They're mad because they avoided filming Kneecap and got played.
An MP just made the argument that “Death to the IDF” equates to support for those killing the IDF, i.e. Hamas. Not sure that’s watertight logic myself.
Don't expect logic from IDF.
After seeing what isreal is doing, Hamas doesnt seem so bad. The only thing I heard about them to begin with was that they launched a supposedly unprovoked attack on isreali citizens and kidnapped several. Well, in retrospect, yeah, kinda seems jusitifed.
I don't actually support Hamas, I just don't know anything about them. But at this point I know theyre fighting isreal so that makes them at least not the worst people involved in this conflict.
That's just copiun. Anybody with anything rattling around in their skull at all just wants IDF to die.
I'd never heard of Bob Vylan before this kicked off. They are actually pretty good. But I think the main outrage is from the tabloids who are gleefully attacking the BBC over it.
Couldn’t agree more. The politicians are only outraged as their donors are pissed. They couldn’t give a shit what happens as long as they get re-elected
I have mixed thoughts on it, on the one hand its a catchy chant. On the other its funny watching the BBC getting blamed.
I don't care, but I'm neutral in all this.
Thanks for outing yourself as someone who doesn't give a flying fuck about genocide. Username doesn't check out.
I'm married to an an immigrant and we live in America and are still waiting for green card, I got problems closer to home then on the other side of the world. I'm worried about losing my sons mother.
I'm worried about losing my partner, a refugee. You don't get sympathy points from me.
