I hate that he uses the word antisemitic
There is a lot of antisemitic rhetoric these days. A bunch of activists on a humanitarian mission to save lives is not part of it. Israel is not the victim here. They became the aggressor when they started the senseless killing
And they are quickly eroding their victim privilege they gained through the suffering of their ancestors, which is shitting on their memory.
according to zionists, Israel should attack the boat and block it because Hamas will immediately kidnap and torture Greta.
but also that Greta is working with hamas. and Israel is protecting Greta from Israel bombing it.
nothing makes sense
Do it, the world is watching, and will NEVER forgive you. Greta is braver than the entire IDF put together and all of us know that no matter what cowardly acts of terror the IDF brandishes.
If Israel hurts Greta they will lock their pariah state status in for decades.
Checkmate Israel.
If Israel hurts Greta they will lock their pariah state status in for decades.
That's the idea of the flotilla, I think.
I also think bibi doesn't give a fuck, and that ship is likely toast, and there likely won't be consequences for decades (if ever).
There will be IMMEDIATE consequences, you are waayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off the mark here.
The entire world is watching.
... including military assets we have no idea about, any move now all world leaders will take note of.
The entire world has been watching the genocide in Gaza, and the unprovoked attacks on Syria, and the reckless violence which has killed so many foreign nationals, reporters, and aid workers, and what consequences to speak of yet? What evidence supports your position?
I know, I understand that perspective and feel similarly a lot of the time but I see cracks now, I see them everywhere.
The most easiest piece of evidence is that Piers Morgan admitted to Mehdi Hasan on live tv that he was wrong about Gaza and that what Israel is doing is abhorrent. This is a MASSIVE shift for a VERY prominent UK news anchor that had pretty embarassingly been running interference for the Palestinian Genocide in UK media to keep the public there from turning against this awful destruction of humanity.
It is too late, nonetheless but I will take my victory with a fervor that is meant to honor the fact that it is already too late for so many.
Morgan then said to the doctor who have 9 of his children killed do you blame hamas
You are very optimiatic. You will just here strong empty condemnation. The houthi may be the only one who will reply with actions
I think israel will escape accountability just like always unfortunatly. The flotilla should have been assisted by soldiers of the activists country
The leadership will face accountability eventually. It takes time but justice will catch up with them eventually.
The problem is that the delay will likely mean that the death toll will be even more massive than what it already is.
The leadership will face accountability eventually. Only if Israel lose and is forced to end occupation. Just like Bush didn't face any accountability for his war crimes
I had empathy for Greta Thunberg when she was focusing on environmental issues. But now it just looks like she's just doing all the things her political tribe is doing and they're using her as a puppet.
It sucks when that happens to people that seemed smarter than that.
Yeah, it's impossible to care for more than one thing. You're a clown.
