  • Did she say it would make the “desert” bloom by donating money to plant trees in Israel? Wow what an uninformed prick who was bought into Zionist propaganda :/

    At the end of the day, what really happens is that Israel burns orchards and trees of Palestinians so some politician like her (whose two main strenthas now are ‘knowing how to meme’ and the mandatory ‘not being trump’) can come and say crap like that.

    I feel sorry for Americans who are forced to vote for this genocide-driving politician with fake compassion because the alternative is more horrendous. I feel sorry for them because even though they may oppose the genocide, they have absolutely no way to pressure their candidate of choice to stop funding it with weapons.

    Kamala, take those fucking trees and put them up your ass.




  • To be martyred in Arabic means to bear witness to being killed unlawfully, even people who die by mistake can be thought of as martyrs. To all the parents and children who lost each other, their loved ones being a “martyr” offers condolences in shitty times if war because it means instant entry to heaven in Islam. Culturally the term is applied even to non Muslims, especially when butchered needlessly by Israel. It’s not like a death cult, it just means “killed unjustly” and literally translated to “Witness”. It’s a bit of a mistranslation…


  • I am yet to see any army as immoral and as bloodthirsty as the IDF. Hamss fucking suck but even they wouldn’t literally kill this many civilians whether they can or can’t. Hezbollah could flip all tables on Israel and yet they don’t tend to kill a child every fucking minute. In the meantime Israel claims to have the best war tech but always kills 10 extra people because for them the best way to kill a Hamas fighters is not when he is in a tunnel, instead it’s when he is kissing his daughter goodnight. And in most of those cases, no Hamas fighters were killed.

    What significant life event other than literally everything happening today would it take you to realize this?





  • The tragedy is not only that you refuse to see the genocide, but that you have justified killing civilians. So even if the offence is less than genocide in your eyes, you still think it’s okay that these “people” were killed. Usually it’s because you cannot view them as full humans like yourself. This divide allows you to suppress the feelings of guilt which helps you repeat and endorse Israeli hasbara. Worse than that even, you say you do it to protect democracy. If you cared about democracy you would probably better spend your time trying to critique the flaws in Israeli democracy, which is only seen as a democracy thanks to some heavy window dressing…

    I did not bring good/bad into this. By definition, can you really be a democracy if you are an apartheid regime where two thirds of your “residents” have low to no rights in gotingnor determining their future? Seriously asking.

    Again, I’m not talking about Palestinians who are Israeli citizens so hope that makes it clearer.

    Great chart! Is it from some report or article? Would be curious to read it.

    Especially given the fact how undemocratic Israel is when it comes to Palestinians (no voting rights, no adequate political representation, no proper legal reresentation, making decisions in Israel that directly affect the West Bank which it essentially also rules, etc, and maybe some form of dignity if you are a Palestinian with Israeli citizenship but that is about it). Essentially it’s quite bold to claim to be a democracy while practicing apartheid on the side, and I have a feeling that that chart does not take this into account at all.
