If a country that was more progressive than the US (not hard to find one) started bombing the shit out of New York City, would you be like “well, they deserve it for their transphobia”?

Do you realize that Orthodox Jews consider women to be inferior to men? Like, they won’t even shake a woman’s hand.

Sacha Baron Cohen, Zionist shithead though he is, actually got chased down the street in Israel by an angry mob for playing his flamboyant gay character Bruno. He had to yell “I’m a Jew I’m a Jew” to keep from getting the shit kicked out of him.

Israel is literally committing genocide RIGHT NOW. I’m sure there are plenty of gay, trans, nonbinary Palestinians who have head their limbs blown off, if that’s really what upsets you.

The genocide apologism is so obvious it’s sad. You point to one issue that will make liberals go “oh no, scary Muslims!” and you run with that. Fix your heart.

I'm not "apologizing for genocide", I'm pointing out that people cheering on a state that tortures atheists and LGBT people is wrong. Fix your head.

Literally nobody is “cheering on” Iran. As so many others have said, we’re cheering for the defeat of Israel. May they rot in hell.

Imperialist aggression is wrong. Full stop. You don’t get to murder a bunch of people because you claim the moral high ground on one issue. The US never “brought democracy to Iraq” either. They killed a million people and ran some sham elections for the optics.

Call me self-righteous all you want. You’re defending settler colonialist aggression. Give the Palestinians a chance at self-determination and stop murdering people in their homes. Then we can talk about LGBTQ rights.

People literally are cheering on Iran, hence the meme. Lucky you for not seeing it. Please explain how pointing out defending a brutal theocracy is wrong means must I back a different one.

You may not get this, but real life isn't good guys vs bad guys, both states are evil. You aren't obligated to back a side, you can just watch both evil states suffer. Or fuck it, cheer for Iran and assume anyone who doesn't is a genocide apologist or whatever, I'm not your conscience.

It's useless. Lemmy is full of these self righteous shitheads and they'll neve stop constructing fake arguments so they can be condescending d*cks about it.

Yes my goal every day is to be condescending to some clueless Zionist libs on Lemmy. Get over yourself it’s not about you. How would you feel if some 20 y/o IDF psycho was dragging your family out into to the street to kill them and throw their bodies in the ocean?

Personally, I’d rather die with a gun in my hand than on my knees watching my family get raped/murdered.

Remember when Israelis rioted for their right to rape prisoners? Look it up.

Interesting way of saying a small group of far-right extremists tried to stop the process against 9 IDF soldiers accused of abuse and rape. These extremists were quickly apprehended by local law enforcement and removed from the premise. The trial continued as planned.

Remember when Americans wore white robes, burned crosses and called for the murder of all black people? Yeah, that's the level of mental gymnastics you just did!

Yeah, it's sad, but I'm happy to play the fool. Probably very patheticly unrelated, but this is one of my favorite paintings.
