It’s the ADL, they’re a Zionist hate group. They equate anything other than staunch, unyielding support of Israel as antisemitism. And this meme is nothing more than an attempt to portray pro-Palestinian speech as some sort of threat to the nation.

Quite literally followed up with a “but”. Look at it this way, if I say “I’m not racist, but…”, then I’m still racist. You’re still downplaying actions that are legally defined as terrorism, by trying to paint him in a sympathetic light as a victim of his upbringing.

I’m assuming that your meaning is that every single offensive campaign NATO has taken part in was one it started without provocation. That’s a very interesting argument, so please provide specific evidence to back the claim you are making that every single NATO offense was an aggressive one. And don’t just give me some form of “do your own research”, you’re making a claim so back it up.
Furthermore, reading between the lines, it seems you may possibly feel that these alleged aggressive moves by NATO justify Russian imperialism, in this specific case the invasion of Ukraine. If that’s the case, do you think Putin’s comments regarding the reestablishment of the Soviet Union have nothing to do with the war?
What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.
It’s the legislative branch that just had a bipartisan movement to declare the protests illegal. Many democrats have publicly embraced the viewpoint that any anti-Israel speech is a hate crime. Even if Biden somehow manages to pull a win out of November, attacks by the president and congress are going to continue, and get much worse if people refuse to back down and adopt government sanctioned speech.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported the Israeli Agriculture Minister said “We’re Rolling Out Nakba 2023” last November in an interview. Would you care to explain why you think an Israeli cabinet member is a “Western anti-Israel propagandist”?
I don’t get how you idiots can hear Israelis literally say “we’re planning a genocide” and still go to bat saying it’s not a genocide and they’re just defending themselves. They’ve been saying it for years, it’s time you start listening.
Well, she’s the one currently making a big fuss about people tracking her, so why wouldn’t they be focused on her? And what class disparity? They’re all billionaires, including Swift.
Not only that, but it’s not hard to figure out what planes are owned by whom simply by checking which planes follow celebrities around. If the exact same plane has been at the last ten places Taylor Swift has been, at the same time as her, and left when she did, it’s not that hard to connect the dots.
If you’re going to make this into persecution porn so you can be outraged, why don’t you head back to Twitter and spare the Fediverse? We both know what point you think you’re making, and it’s stupid as fuck considering the situation.
Israel will ignore it, and their paid-for members of the US Congress will ensure that anyone who tries to hold Israel accountable is threatened into submission by the US military, a subsidiary of the IDF. Israel rules America, and America is the strongest nation on earth, whom nobody will seriously cross. Ergo, Israel rules the world.
Ah, the elitist GIMP crowd. The most toxic OSS community. Those are the same people who won’t do any gaming on Linux because they refuse to install proprietary software. They’re all sweaty middle-aged men with unwashed asses, neck hair thicker than their chest hair, and an allergy to women who are allowed to speak.
Yeah, if you do any sort of work with art or photography, and you use Linux, you run into them at some point. To be fair, it’s not GIMPs fault that they rally around that software, it’s just a subset of Linux users who like to stick their noses in the air that consider GIMP the only valid choice since it’s FOSS. You also see it sometimes when a Linux newbie asks for opinions on a good starter distro to get their feet wet.
Fortunately, with the increased popularity of Linux with desktop users, and of course the golden age of Linux gaming being upon us, those sort of people are becoming a tiny minority. I have faith there will be a point when they’re so few that they get ostracized from communities unless they stop being fucknozzles.
Uh, I hate to be that guy, but if you can’t use Windows 11 due to hardware requirements, Microsoft put a “Try Ubuntu” button in the system settings page next to the message telling you that you are ineligible for a Windows upgrade. And if you go to their help forums, the Microsoft support reps will recommend Ubuntu LTS to you. So it’s not like the GIMP forums at all.
You have to realize, the United States has many laws in most jurisdictions that criminalize poverty, and politicians on both sides of the aisle are quickly moving to pass more. It is not a good country to live in. People here get arrested for giving food to the homeless.
As much as I want to avoid WW3, there’s also this dark, perverse part of me that wants to see Putin get his shit rocked if he took on NATO in a direct conflict.
Many voters believe, with good reason, that none of this would have happened without Biden’s assent. Biden has continued to speak of Israel’s attack on Palestinian civilians using the absurd language of “self-defense”. He has insulted Jewish Americans and the memory of the Holocaust by invoking them to justify the...
How is electing Biden going to mean less dead kids in Gaza? He’s still supporting Israel, and he literally just said that US support was ironclad and that no genocide is happening. It doesn’t matter who wins in November, those kids are still going to die, and ultimately that’s on Americans because we supply the weapons and protect Israel from consequences, with force if necessary.
Gaza is done for, everyone there will be killed by the direct actions of the United States and Israel, and voting for Biden isn’t going to absolve anyone for the guilt we all share for that. That’s on you, that’s on me, and that’s on every other American, both Democrat or Republican. No amount of moralizing or “lesser of two evils” bullshit on your part is going to change that. You need to come to terms with the fact that you have a hand in that genocide, and you’re just as guilty as Biden is.
You mean attack them again, right? Israel has already directly attacked the US during the Six-Day War, bombing the USS Liberty which was watching events off the coast of Gaza. They jammed the Liberty’s calls for help, and the US Secretary of Defense even went so far as to call off the jets sent to defend the Liberty, leaving the US sailors to die. The president covered it up, keeping the story out of the papers so the American people wouldn’t be outraged.
The Israeli government will absolutely do whatever it takes to make sure their interests are served, and anyone who gets in their way will die.
Just like Israel, this revelation won’t affect our relations with them, because the US government cares about money, not people, and to them the massive boost that defense contractors got from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were worth the lives lost.

To my knowledge, Apple doesn’t run an ad service of their own, and it’s unlikely they would work with Google to force you to watch ads in their apps. I find it more likely they would refuse to force attention to ads just to spite Google, as they are their biggest competitor.
