Unfortunately since Israel is a self proclaimed Jewish state/homeland it doesn't take much for Israel's defenders to use that connection to make any and all criticism of Israel into a self judged anti-semitic criticism. Just look at how they have tried to make the boycotting and divestment protest into a de-facto anti-semitic protest. It's fucking bullshit.

Sure, of course some of those criticising Israel are anti Semitic, just like how I'm starting to view some of the staunchest defenders of Israel, in the face of everything going on, as being racist xenophobes who apparently view the Palestinian people as lower than dirt. A tragic state of affairs considering everything Jewish people have been through over history.
To be clear, no one will be banned for criticizing Israel's actions. People will be banned for anti-Semitism. As the user you quoted said, it is not hard to do one and not the other.

No actually you posted it mockingly saying he was making lemonade. Not until you were confronted did you say it seemed like a stupid thing to do. But let's keep pointing out the bad apples among thousands of protesters to delegitimize the whole thing.

And where did I change what you wrote? I brought up another situation where a similar thing happened that was solved without people getting killed and asked if you thought being shot would have been justified.

The lemonade post was actually someone else.

I think you need to check the posts. I did not make such statements about them making lemonade.

Unfortunately this news don't come as a surprise.
Tomorrow it could get even worse because then the naqba (catastrophe) will mark its 70th anniversary.

Ya, I see that now my mistake. The point still stands though that I did not change what you wrote or accuse you of anything (other then the lemonade post lol). I simply asked a question comparing it to another situation and the answer is obviously no its not justified.

Youre implying that because i find them tossing molotovs at the IDF, stupid( who will shoot you for less ) that im okay with them being killed. Stop overinterpreting my post.

Very saddening... Hate, greed and ignorance are winning out.

War is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other. :-(

I hope Palestinians will have someday a leader who actively promotes a two states solution. With Hamas there will never be peace.
Even Germany and France have managed to become friends after several terrible wars with millions of dead.

No bro, we are having a discussion. Stop being so defensive you pointed out it's stupid I pointed out although stupid it doesn't justify what is happening. Stop taking it so personally.

What a bullshit post. As if it's Hamas that is stopping a solution and not Israel. They're a result of Israel oppressing these people. The Palestininans don't have any power.

Sure we can have a discussion where you dont take my post out of context and automaticlly assume that im okay with people being killed, because i found what they were doing stupid. Of course im defensive, when i made no such comparisons!

And the ethnic cleansing continues. Fuck Israel and fuck the US for their complicity in this bloodshed.

Bibi's propaganda machine is no joke. One of my dad's coworkers emigrated from Israel and the things he told us would've turned Kim Jong-il green with envy.

Still, no amount of brainwashing excuses this behavior. If you can sit back and enjoy seeing actual human beings getting slaughtered you're a fucking piece of shit.

can we get some better dems in office this election cycle or what

Democrats are complacent in this as much as the republicans. Ask the people following this conflict and they'll tell you that the democrats and republican stance on this matter is not that different. Remember the shock when the US abstained from a UN vote relating to Israel for first time in history during the last few months of Obama's administration. It was a shock because it wasn't expected from a democrat administration...that's right. Democrat's are expected to side with the Israeli government. Democrats were never against any of their policies. They'll just gladly turn a blind eye to it.

Yep, I watched a documentary on it. There were these 8 dudes that carried a couch to a hill to watch Palestine get bombed. They would have a BBQ and a few beers as the bombs dropped

What's especially worrying about all of this is that videos of today will be useful to folks like IS who need an enemy and need propaganda.

The Israeli government and Trump are doing major harm to the peace effort in the Middle East. We should be fighting terrorists, not inspiring them.

You keep saying this in every Gaza thread and in every of those threads people explain to you how this is just not true. Israel has all the power here, and they certainly don't want a two-state solution. Why do you keep repeating this?

The BBC headline is something else "Dozens die as US opens Jerusalem embassy".

How about "Israeli forces massacre more Palestinian protestors under illegally occupied territory" or "Israeli forces massacre more Palestinian protestors" for short.

Conservative dems or Jewish infiltrators? He was down with moving the us embassy to Israel years before it happened. He's spoken in favor of Palestinian sanctions to uphold his apartheid state.

It's amazing how easily the media and elected officials are willing to embrace and excuse genocide. As a Palestinian, I'm used to this shit, but today just feels like another level of being utterly worthless. That even normal people can't look past bullshit identity and politics to see the most basic humanity and show empathy with these people is so demoralizing. I mean look at those fuckers who continually watch this shit as an audience like it's some kind of sport, what kind of twisted demented shit is that? Palestinians are essentially viewed as cockroaches to most of the world and it's really devastating.

There is nothing that Israel or any other country could add to the world that could atone for or balance out what they are doing to you. You're not worthless my brother, they are.
