The meme itself is fine.
But shilling a one-state solution with it?
Not cool.
I honestly think a one-state solution is the only way to fix the middle east problem.
That state being plasma, and later glass.
Warn the people to get out before the due date, remove the animals and any endemic plants worth keeping, and nuke the whole area into glass so that it remains uninhabitable for thousands of years.
There, problem solved. No more fighting if there's nothing to fight for. Perfect solomonic solution.
Shit can I get expelled back to Britain? They got their own problems but fuck, my family is in the domesday book, can I go back?
We've tried a 1 state solution for a long time
It's probably time to start aknowledging the goal of Zionism is to take land from others, and aknowledge that the Zionist have too much influence in politics.
It's either the Zionists go, or we just have to accept that Isreal wants to behave like a fascist colonizer and cut ties
I hold equal disdain for all Abrahamic Religions.
They are a plague.
Why limit your distain to abrahamic religions?
Ok... And? The meme is talking about antisemitism not anti-religiosity
Though I see few anti-semitic remarks, other than the ones about Palestinians.
I get the sentiment and I'd agree, but it would be so much easier if not over half the Israeli population is now supporting a genocide. You think they know better, of all people
Israel is allowed to literally cause a holocaust on the Palestinian people for the last 70+ years, backed by seemingly the majority of the political landscape and the population. Israelis chanting death to entire ethnicities but nooooo we can't say anything that might hurt their poor lil feelings. Bunch of bollocks. You lot are a bunch of clowns that are entirely too comfortable with the deaths of brown people.
If it's antisemitic to call out and despise those that support the genocide of innocent children and civilians, then I'm a proud antisemite. That hill I WILL die on.
The meme is literally, explicitly, saying the opposite. That's not antisemitic.
No, that's not antisemitic in the least. Israel is committing a genocide, and it should be treated as a pariah state and all measures possible employed against it to pressure it to cease.
What is antisemitic is, as mentioned in the title and seen advocated by people in this very comment section, advocating for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Israel, especially when combined with the bizarre notion that Israel-born Israelis can just be shipped back to where their ancestors came from in Europe, like some bizarre mirror image of the Nazis in the 1930s planning to ethnically cleanse Germany of Jews by shipping them to where their ancestors came from in Palestine.
and all measures possible employed against it to pressure it to cease.
Including Palestinian military action and guerilla war, correct?
Yes. Unironically, critical support for suicide bombing of military targets. The only restraints I have to supporting Palestinian action are moral restraints - ie that while civilian collateral casualties are acceptable, such as during rocket barrages of legitimate targets, civilians should not be specifically targeted.
Yeah, I don’t know how to solve the issues of two separate families feeling ownership for the same location (fifty years ago, a Palestinian family including several living members was evicted from a home, and an Israeli couple moved in and then died, leaving their property to their children who played no role in taking the property from the Palestinians), but the solution is not to deport all of the Israelis from the region.
My first instinct would be that the government would need to build a LOT of desirable housing and offer a cash incentive to all current and former residents to cede ownership claims to other properties in exchange for the deed to one of the newer properties, but it immediately occurs to me that the wealth difference between the average Palestinian family and the average Israeli family is probably large enough that there would essentially be a self-selection bias. Especially given the fact that poverty and food insecurity reduce our ability to make good financial decisions.
I can’t think of a resolution for that situation that doesn’t involve someone feeling resentful. I’m not saying they have equal claim- but I know that the descendants of settlers are also people, who don’t want to be evicted from the (stolen) houses in which they were raised, and sowing resentment has not helped the region in the past.
So glad the literal antisemites came out on this post to play apologist for ethnically cleansing Israeli Jews 'back where they came from' in Europe for the crime of being born in Israel. I'm trying to think of how this differs from the Nazis wanting to deport Jews to Israel, but I'm coming up with a blank.
I guess there must be something substantially different, though, because obviously these brave anti-imperialists would never be antisemites. Even when they advocate for literal fucking genocide based on the very compelling and principled argument of "Israel committed genocide first!" /s
All of the people I've seen advocating that are talking about the people who were not born in Israel.
Is it really ethnic cleansing when the ethno-state they built continues to genocide their neighbors with the approval of the vast majority of its citizens?
By that logic that birth in Israel gives the right to stay there, this would in turn mean that this birth revokes the right to compensation for the ancestors that were murdered in the Holocaust or survived it and chose not to go back to Germany.
You cant have it both.
Typical Israeli apologist, dreaming of a hypothetical genocide of Israeli Jews when there's an actual genocide being committed by the zionists. Do you ever get tired of being a victim?
puts on tin foil hat We’re being played by powerful outside agents (🇷🇺?) who are trying to stoke division that foments racial tensions, genocide, and international warfare, and ultimately inciting instability and civilian disillusionment with western governments and democracy by using money and/or blackmail to coerce politicians, lawmakers, and the media to conflate the difference between perceptions of the actions of a (theocratic) government and perceptions of the actions of historically persecuted ethnic and religious groups (among other simultaneous informational attacks not related to the meme but related to other perceived strategic weak points in our nations and cultures) in order for these outside agents to tactically manipulate the politicians, media, and governments they have on their payroll into mutually assured destruction such that the outside agents end up on top with global domination
Thanks to Netanyahu and his goonies (such as Trump and Starmer) the word anti-semitist has lost all meaning.
