IBM, a major advertiser on X, has pulled its spending from the social media platform, whose employees are grappling with what to tell its other advertisers, according to internal messages.
To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why “Hitler was right”
Their policy is to engage in massively more violence than anybody who attacks them. It’s not a crazy policy because a huge chunk of the Palestinians think that the existence of a draft in Israel means it’s morally acceptable to kill Israeli kids because they’ll be drafted in the future, so what’s left is to be so destructive that it deters future attacks.
A negotiated two-state solution would be much better for all involved, but actually making that happen is going to require removing Hamas first, and there isn’t a nonviolent way to do that.
So you think that blowing up hospitals and killing kids is a morally acceptable policy to seek revenge? To argue that possibly a lot of Palestinians might feel that killing civilians would be ok as reasoning they are blown up? You realize they are blowing up hostages, you don’t blow up buildings with your people in it if you care or want to rescue them…if you don’t care at all about human life you do that and are no better than Hamas.
There is basically no way to conduct any kind of military operation in a dense urban area where people are stuck without those consequences. The Israelis don’t have the option of “no kids die” the only choice is “our kids or theirs.” I’m unsurprised that they chose “theirs”
They have shown the world their basic belief in the value of life, and it’s not even up for debate actions speak and their excuses are hollow and foolish, and laughable. This will haunt Israel forever, they will never get past this until they leave Zionism just like the Germans abandoned their evil regime and ideology.
The idea that Israelis are going to abandon their country over this is ludicrous
Zionism isn’t a land, it’s an ideology that created their ingrained racist attitude that they are the
master race“Chosen People” and it’s ok to mock Palestinian suffering and treat them and others as lesser things. It’s pretty gross, and the surveys of the people show this ideology or racism is rampant there.There are people who see things as you describe, but that’s not inherent in Zionism; just the idea that Jews should have the ability to engage in full political participation through having their own nation.
Many people have already written books on where it came from, what it stands for, and how it spreads a belief of superiority of the “chosen People” that is where they are not to marry non-Jews. They even went as far as to give Ethiopian women birth control while in Israel, a way to not muddy their “chosen people” status with that unholy melanin. If you have a version of Zionism that is anti-racist and inclusive of all people, I think many people would like to hear that.
Again, there are hugely different strains of Zionism. By lumping them all together, you’re effectively convincing people who might be in a place to stop the modern settler movement that you’re planning to kill them, and guaranteeing that it continues.
