      Holy shit, that whole sub... that's just sad.

      I did a bit of research on Judaism to reconcile with zionism/anti-semitism and all that, and I saw how different it is from zionism, and that zionism is actually more anti-semitic than being anti-zionist etc.

      But imagine if you knew nothing about it, and then went on r/Jewish. You would be getting the WRONG impression for sure.

        Looked against my better judgement, you weren't kidding. These reddit-logoers are completely buying into the antisemitic lies equating the genocidal fascist state of Israel with Judaism as a whole.

        It's a shame. Judaism actually has a lot of really cool attitudes and lessons to it, at least, some interpretations. It's such an old religion that it can't be described as a monoloth any more than Islam can. I think it's really important for the Left to hold onto this fact and defend our Jewish comrades who are bravely going against the grain in their communities.

      Looking at zionists and it's like "holy shit, are you trying to make people become antisemitic?" If I believed everything said by zionists about Judaism, that would mean I was antisemitic.

      I did, for a split second, read that as "Mech wearing a keffiyeh" and that's now something I need to make a sketch of.

        Wish we could get a DOJ-Liberator team down here to supply Hamas with an ANDROMEDA-Pattern Heavy Laser Cannon.

            Btw, do NOT read Gaza genocide discussions on Pilot Net, just a hive of "it's nuanced" radlib genocide minimizers.

              aww fuckin...cmon, the game is a full throated endorsement of communism and the creator is based as hell, libs shouldn't be allowed in!

              ...though I haven't heard Abaddon/Tom Bloom's opinions on Palestine, I suppose I just assumed he'd come out on the side of liberation considering all his other espoused views and his fiction...

      I don’t regularly wear a kippah but even if I did, I’m not looking to antagonize. I strongly believe in no political anythings at work, even things that the majority deem inoffensive like pride pins or whatever.

        My favorite is the "Look,..." that they use before they lecture me like I'm a kid. The word is them patting me on the head before they explain the complexities of the adult world to my tiny brain.

      Reading the comments there sure was a hell of a peek into the brains of these people. They genuinely say that everyone pro Palestine is a terrorist. I will admit that I haven't bothered to look at comments on Reddit, but it's pretty unsettling to read tbh.

        If Israel and Hezbollah go to war - people will see suffering and death in Israel but also in Lebanon. Sadly the coverage of Israel will probably be at least ~5x as great. But there will be blood on the streets in Lebanon. I worry that some people will use the opportunity to start to use "they" and "them" when referring to anybody Lebanon. In other words "They shoot missiles into Israel so - yeah - some of them are going to die. That's how war works. Don't want to be attacked? Don't attack." The same 'logic' will be openly used for the genocide in Gaza. And this vile "They're getting what they deserve" logic will start to go mainstream and even be used on networks like MSNBC that are usually careful to not be ghoulish by saying the quiet part out loud.
