If someone deserves punishment, celebrating that punishment is basically just hatred.

Yes, I hate the man who spent my tax dollars to bomb children living in tent cities.

I hate the man who failed so spectacularly as a candidate that he gave us president Trump.

I hate Genocide Joe.

When a genocidal war criminal gets a horrific terminal cancer, it is certainly cause for celebration.

Aiding and abetting a genocide is depraved.

Going on national TV and lying about seeing "pictures of 40 beheaded babies" is depraved.

Celebrating when a war criminal gets prostate cancer? Not depraved at all in my opinion. He deserves much worse.

Someone driving or operating machinery high is just as dangerous as someone driving drunk

You have a source or anything to back this idea up?

I delivered pizzas in downtown Seattle for a couple years, and most of my coworkers were constantly stoned. Many weren't just hitting pens or joints, they would hit a fat dab with a torch lighter and then hop in their vehicle and make a delivery.

Both years I worked there, our delivery team got an annual award for having 0 vehicle accidents.

Obviously this is anecdotal, but if you run this same situation back with alcohol instead of weed, I am confident there would have been many accidents.

Yes, the current president is supporting genocide.

You don't hear anyone on the left yelling about it? Maybe you should pay attention, protest movements are ongoing. Protest tactics and media coverage may change in the Trump era, but the anti-genocide movement is still strong in my opinion.

If you want to make some sort of political point then you should come out and say it. Hiding behind sarcasm is off putting when discussing a serious subject like genocide. Its almost like you don't actually care.

Yes, the lie that Biden was pushing for a ceasefire gave him tons of political cover. It was one of his administration's primary Gaza talking points. They used this lie to deflect against valid criticism for months.

Even AOC fell for the lie, saying Harris was working tirelessly for a ceasefire in Gaza

[–] Krono@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

No, Gaza is still being bombed. Children are being intentionally starved. It's still a crisis.

Probably discussing the latest news about how Biden never pressured Israel for ceasefire

It was just another lie to give political cover as he aided and abetted an ongoing genocide.

leaving $10m to each child, with plans to donate everything else

The plans were to donate everything else to a tax-advantaged "charity" in which the Gates family retains complete financial control.

This is not philanthropy. It is tax avoidance, greenwashing, and a public relations campaign.

because they support the existence of Israel they have blood on their hands?

Yes.

If "Zionist" means anything at all, it means support for Israel as it currently exists. This means support for Jewish supremacy, support for bombing campaigns against civilians in multiple nations, and support for a literal ongoing genocide. Anyone who lends support to these evils has blood on their hands.

You can try to move goalposts to say Zionist only means "israel has a right to exist", but this is meaningless in context. I personally believe in a one-state solution where Palestinians have equal rights with Jews; a state where there is no apartheid, ethnic cleansing, nor aggression against neighboring countries. I would be fine with this hypothetical country keeping the name "Israel". Does this make me a Zionist too? If so, the term is meaningless.

I never mentioned their faith, why are you deciding what it is?

You are right about this, I should have been more clear with my words. I was describing a hypothetical Christian Zionist, not your specific neighbor who might be Jewish, Muslim, or atheist. Whatever their faith may be, I condemn their Zionism.
