They were Israeli embassy staff not random Jewish people. Not that it makes it ever right to randomly shoot any human being but they are government workers of a genocidal settler colony, not just random Jewish people.

I don’t know why you would put it like that or focus on that instead of the general consensus that no one should shoot anyone no matter who they are. Especially in this case this makes it actually worse because it blurs the line to true anti-Jewish hatred.

You have to be some special kind of person to be Zionist in 2025 and before you think this is a compliment it’s certainly not.

Removed by mod

Couldn’t have said it better.

We’re talking about a very hypothetical scenario of what Palestinians allegedly would like to do if they had the chance vs the forced expulsion, mass starvation, and mass annihilation of Palestinians that is currently happening in reality, but somehow we should care more about the genociders feeling unsafe because of our opinions and alleged intentions?

If we can’t say our opinion because the mods have to remove content or face the threat of being raided by some gestapo squads for saying what’s perfectly normal to say outside of Germany I think we should honestly just move. Then we could speak our minds and the mods / server hosts can sleep at night. We don’t need to have the same opinion, but no one should get anyone in trouble for saying theirs. I think this is a huge advantage of the fediverse and we could just use that to make everyone’s life easier.

Understandable that you don’t want any police raids and I sincerely hope that this is not representative of your personal opinion but rather a hint for us to maybe host this community somewhere else where free speech is possible without putting the server hosts in danger of being raided by some gestapo squad. It would be great if it’d be possible to migrate whole communities to another instance.

Is this really coming to Lemmy now? Jesus, wtf

The point is, this fetish for "migrants“ is first of all inhumane, and besides that also expensive and inefficient. It’s absolute brainrot no matter the amount of mental gymnastics politicians, media, and people like you are doing to justify it.

Interesting framing to call the colonization and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians a "war of independence“

As opposed to India, the beacon of women’s rights. We just don’t like hatemongering

Imagine being Zionist in 2025

Let me know how those mid terms went freshman! I know it’s exciting to be at university and all but you should learn to read the room

I think it’s good that you’re trying to back your claims by sources / papers but your response tells me that you’re not trained (yet) in reading papers critically. Those are just some random question that came up from the top of my head and that any scientist would ask if someone were to present the findings of this study at a conference. This kind of rigor, to not blindly accept results but to critically evaluate them and poke holes in the arguments is what makes academia academia. I’m kind of surprised that you throw around papers and then get offended if people don’t blindly accept whatever you say, it’s kind of an interesting appeal to authority fallacy.

Or might just have reported more vs others, which idk but would be similar to e.g. sexual violence statistics in Scandinavian countries where officially they have much more harassment etc. than other countries, but this is just because women are more encouraged to actually go to the police and report it.

I can’t be bothered to read the paper, but here are some evergreens that make this result hard to interpret:

• The sample includes women from all ages and boomer Karens would not report abuse
• On the other hand, being bi or lesbian has only been accepted by society since the last 10-20 years. Don’t believe me? Just watch some 90s sitcom like Friends.
• Being bi or lesbian still comes together with a special type of discrimination that a straight woman most likely will never experience; hence, straight women are potentially less sensitized to abuse / might have a different bar for what they consider abuse
• Putting together these very different groups of people with very different experiences on what is “normal” will result in them having a very different sensitivity towards what they would consider abuse
• In other words a young, bi/lesbian woman is probably more likely to report abuse than an old straight woman, an old lesbian woman who is just happy might never engage with researchers because of the past societal stigma that makes her keep her life private

Of course we don’t know any of that, but these psychological studies are difficult to conduct because in theory you’d have to account for these effects and in practice that might be impossible. But again, I haven’t bothered to read the whole thing just to prove a point.

I voted for Harris

Could this be any clearer?

I honestly don’t know anymore what to do with this blue MAGA bs. You can say that you ate Harris out while voting for her but you don’t agree with her pro genocide stance and because you said one critical word they’d still tell you that you made Trump happen?

Muslim is not a race and racism isn’t about car races, now say something not racist about Muslims.

I just told you why people are downvoting you that’s all

I get that you’re pissed about the downvotes but you’re really just killing the messenger here

I think the problem is just with the formulation "fix the Muslim problem“, personally I’d never use that and I 99% expect something racist as a follow up if I poke enough.
