Zhang further stated that an immediate ceasefire was a “fundamental prerequisite” for “saving lives, expanding humanitarian access and preventing greater conflicts. The US draft on the contrary sets up preconditions for a ceasefire which is no different from giving a green light to continued killings which is unacceptable.”

I'm not sure they member

Wait which part of what I said was racist?

Or are you living in a fantasy world where the people who will reap the material rewards of the destruction and appropriation of land in Gaza are other than Jewish? There is plenty of racism in this situation but it's not coming from those who are calling it out. Please educate yourself on Jewish settlements in the Occupied Territories of Palestine if you care about truth.

That's a weird way to say that people are against genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Nobody here supports Hamas. Most people here (outside the fringes) absolutely despise the thought of authoritarian theocratic rule. I mean, this is nowhere more true than on Lemmy. Maybe what you're noticing is people talking about Hamas as if they are a symptom of a problem (and a very, very predictable and historically easily verifiable outcome of a specific socio-economic and political reality) and people want to tackle the problem, not just the symptom. This is what you do when you are intelligent.

Here's a hint to get you started- the problem is Israel, specifically Zionism.

Let's see how the auto industry responds. Last time the government tried to impose emission regulations we ended up getting massive pickup trucks as a result (which obv don't have reduced emissions compared with pickup trucks that have a reasonable size and wheelbase).

Anti-semitism is when you dislike someone because they are Jewish, not when you dislike someone because they want to ethnically cleanse Palestine and create vALuaBlE WAterFrONt PrOPerTiEs on the stolen land, especially when that person literally runs a real estate development company and could possibly have access to that specific market (because he's Jewish and that's important to Israel).

Saying that a Jewish person is Jewish is not anti-semitism.

Edit: Maybe you don't know about how Kushner has served Israel in the past:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Accords

Israel’s “extensive restrictions on the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid and commercial goods”, mass population displacement and the destruction of crucial civilian infrastructure.

Yes now it's at fever pitch but this has been the case for the past 50 years. Good that people are noticing it now but what a high price to pay for that visibility.

Oh wow. I didn't know that.

What are you talking about?

Holy shit.... I always hear about this and that being in the Bible or whatever book but I've never seen the specifics. It's way worse than I thought.

Thanks for the example.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of that.

Really? What have they been doing?

siphoning money from Google

How does that work?

Religious Zionists, who believe the Jewish people have divine authority to rule from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, make up only around 14% of Israel's population. But in recent years they have greatly expanded their influence in the military, the government and society at large,

"In recent years..." What? Israel itself is a Zionist project since the beginning, from Hovevei Zion to Herzl to Haganah to Ben-Gurion to Sharon and Netanyahu.

What's the verse or chapter or whatever where this can be found?

I guess it was just him commenting on the western hemisphere that surprised me.

"You can't force an election on us, what do we look like to you, a bunch of Latinos?!"

You're right though, no surprise there. Rascists gonna racist.

I simply quoted what he stated.

Yes, I know. That's what I was referring to.

So that's bad, right?

That was surprising to read. What a racist statement.

Not mutually exclusive.
