  • Being reasonable and understanding things are complicated and nuanced isn’t going to happen on Lemmy.

    The nutters here are going to sit on a Hamas propaganda source like Al Jazeera, knee-jerk to every article designed to drum up hatred and dumb down the situation, and go hop in bed with every anti-semite masquerading as the left that they can find. All the while pretending this conflict exists in a vacuum and lately even blaming the deaths on the 7th on Israel in their comments.

    I appreciate your attempt to bring rationality and reason to the discussion, but you’re wasting your time on this shithole.


  • Yeah, you’d have to go back to the multiple wars where the Arab nations attacked together to destroy Israel for it to be more even, right?

    Which was what initially created the refugees bc they were told by those Arab nations that after Israel and the Jews are destroyed, the Arab Palestinians would be given all of Israel.

    History is so inconvenient to bullshit narratives.


  • I’m not downvoting you bc I respect that’s your opinion. But might I suggest that you investigate how much a billion dollars really is?

    This is an old but great place to start:

    There is no contribution and work that someone can do to earn that much in a meritocracy. They literally have to have fucked their societies laws and values so much that folks believe that while people are homeless, hungry, fleeing wars, unable to afford healthcare and schooling, etc, that the 2700+ billionaires in the world should be able to have so much that they literally couldn’t spend it all if they tried.

    If you believe in a meritocracy, then billionaires should be repugnant. No individual contribution is a billion dollars.
