even they would believe Jews had a greater claim to persecution than if the US military were to show up and started doing genocide purportedly because Jesus needs Christians in control of the Holy Land.

That is not the comparison I am making. The point I am trying to make is that a religion that does not welcome you as a believer is going to be more concerning to a person than a religion that does. A Houthi cannot become a Jew (for the most part). A Palestinian Muslim, even if their ancestors were Jewish 1000 years ago cannot become a Jew again (at least according to the way Israel has been conducting itself). And for those reason, it makes sense that Judaism itself is viewed with concern by the Houthis.

edit: To further explain this point at least how I imagine most people in the region would at least think about. When Islam came to that land, they converted the local community to Islam. But when these new people come in, they want to kill everyone? Why don’t they just convert the locals again? For most people, the explanation would be Judaism as a religion.

If anything, Jewish people have the greater claim to persecution given the literal Holocaust had just happened.

How would the Jewish people have a greater claim according to the Houthis who likely know very little about events in Europe or even care?

Again, I am reiterating how people there would have issue with Judaism as a religion and would curse the Jews and again, it’s because of how Judaism is different from Islam and Christianity. Islam allows new adherents, in fact, most Houthis would probably at least admit their people weren’t always Islamic. For them, it would appear at least at face value that Judaism is a religion that promotes genocides because when they take land, it necessitates the removal of the natives.

I will reiterate.

When Jewish people say, “We will make this land purely Jewish”, I read that as genocide.

Also, you clearly aren’t understanding my point, I am simply answering the question of, why would the hate for Israel extend to a hatred of Jews and not stating a personal belief. Clearly, it is the US continuing it’s imperialist policies but for a lot of people, the nature of Judaism and how it has to expand it’s numbers and territory is a good reason to lump them in with Israel and the United States.

Wow, this is a very extensive article. Hopefully things go well.

I never said ISIS represents all of Islam, my point is that Israel is like ISIS but worse because at least ISIS offers the option of conversion (which is because unlike Judaism, Islam gives that as an option). For people who hate both ISIS and Israel, the conclusion that Israel is worse is quite clear and a big part of that is the way the religion conducts itself when conducting conquest. That the natives cannot be integrated into your society and must be “removed”.

If Christians were the ones in Israel, things would still be very terrible for the Palestinians because of the colonial nature (probably more similar to South Africa which had apartheid but less genocide of the natives) but it wouldn’t be as terrible as it is now with Israel trying to exterminate the entire strip.

Let’s put it this way.

A lot of Palestinians actually have Jewish heritage, they just however converted to Islam (I believe the chain was Jewish people, something else than Islam) and that’s a general feature for most religions that have this sort of holy war mentality. Even ISIS, the big bogeyman of the West offered conversion as an alternative to displacement with at least some Christians taking up the offer.

Judaism however, is behaving like Islam, but they believe in this chosen people malarky and thus, are just killing Palestinians even though a large number of Palestinians have Jewish heritage so realistically, Israel is killing their own kin who should be capable of just becoming Jewish again.

To me anyway, with the way Israel is conducting themselves, their religion is just ethnic cleansing with the worst traits of religions that proselytize and holy war combined with the worst traits of religions that believe their people are special in some way.

If Israel at the very least offered conversion to the Palestinians, I believe a lot of the violence would have already been resolved by now but they don’t and while the truth is that it is because Israel is a white supremacy state, they use their religion as a cover so most people blame that for the current atrocities.

Palestinians generally don’t have the money to run propaganda in the US and even if they did, the United States would censor them if it got to the point of being effective

Does anyone have an archive or something for this?

Also, genuinely surprised it is that low. I mean, I knew it was bad but fascinating.

I consider TikTok to be something take every aspect of youtube, and make it more degenerate and more profitable. And don’t get me wrong, kudos should be given to the Chinese for developing it and it is a necessary step for China to challenge Western hegemony. But it is more addicting and quite frankly, I consider it things such as to that to be a contributor to the loneliness epidemic and in the general reduction in attention span of people.

Right, they defederated from us. Mistyped

That might be because we defederated from worldnews (because they disliked the pro-palestinian stance we have here).

As for the flood of zionist posts, that’s astroturfing, propaganda and censorship. Accounts are getting blocked and kicked on reddit for stating anything pro-palestine on subs like worldnews and many of these pro-isreal accounts were made recently. I believe someone else posted also how Israel literally has a site to get people to boost pro israel content.

At the very least, the Palestinians have gravely hurt the reputation of the West as a whole and are another blow to its hegemony.

Ukraine, Nigeria, Gabon and so on. The pressure is mounting and the economies of Europe are declining.

That being said, the road to freedom for the Palestinians is long and this is just one of many steps

Gotcha, yeah, I figured Chinese people would be much more sympathetic to the situation for the Palestinians. Kind of surprised that the Palestinian embassy stopped posting in Weibo. I guess it makes sense though.

I hope this goes well for Palestine but I feel like they don’t have the support to actually succeed and Israel will continue their genocide in force

Aside from the issues stated already. This would need to be a truly monstrous amount of water. The cost would simply be far too much to justify any sort of benefit.

I was in California and I saw the sky turn orange like some apocalypse. Like I was wearing orange sunglasses or something crazy. Then, I ended up moving to New York and a similar disaster happened that was unheard of but due to the raging wildfires in Canada all in the span of a handful of years. Likely that trend will continue so air filters are likely to be a necessary and common purchase unfortunately. Sea levels will rise given that the arctic will be ice free for at least during the summer so that will have severe implications.

Nations will need to cope. On a more opportunistic view, the West will likely be greatly weakened by said disasters (as well as the other wars they will be involved in) while China will likely continue its ascension and thankfully, China is taking the issue rather seriously these days with a frankly astounding push in renewables compared to everywhere else in the world. Ideally, China will be taking a more aggressive role and with the support of the global South, attempt to actually fix the issue meaningfully.

It could be dark, but as the saying goes, “it is darkest before the dawn”

Fascism is a natural end result of capitalism as but I there are differences in structure. Capitalism is to me anyways, is the false idea that you can have endless and exponential growth in a world where resources are finite. It results in imperialism and is of course the main driver of imperialism but fascism is a bit more of the final form bereft of those falsehoods. Once people start to realize that they cannot in fact grow endlessly, capitalism converts to fascism and the government is restructured in an autocratic fashion in order to exert control.

To better elaborate, at least how I understand it, the United States is an oligarchy and undemocratic where half the time, the president doesn’t even win the popular vote but I don’t consider it fascist but it is getting there. People are looking at either socialism or they are looking for fascism which is something like Trump to seize control directly to fix things (with the implicit understanding that Trump will hurt the “right” people to do so).

I also need to read more on it but one thing that stuck with me is that capitalism is the new change brought about by the factories and shifts of society with petit bourgeoisie and as some note, a step forward compared to the feudal societies of old (which is the idea that the serf labors for the king with at least expectation of the king providing and protecting the serf). It is something of a transitioning period I believe is what some socialist thinkers view it and fascism is a step backwards while socialism is the step forward

Is eternal global war a possible solution? No, because capitalism is terrible at fighting actual wars. For example, right now, the West keeps talking about sending more weapons and even though they’ve spent billions, much of that military hardware is insufficient in numbers and quality. Businesses just clearly are not interested if it doesn’t make them richer.

Further to this point, think of world war 2. Massive rationing taking place and the state actively controlling large aspects of life for both normal people and businesses to ensure wartime production along with massive propaganda and censorship.

In a real, serious war, the state has to exert controls over both private business and people which ultimately means either socialism or fascism and if the wars aren?t serious we have things like Afghanistan and Ukraine which are very likely to end in bankruptcy.

As additional point, think of every revolution that has ever happened. The vast majority happen right after a war or during one which is probably why all these African states are launching coups since Europe has been left weakened by the Ukraine war.

This is how I understand it in any case and welcome other inputs
