  • Thanks. Admittedly this person just drives me up the wall /: they don't like it when I respond and has said they tried to block me... I offered help to show them how and I'm still unblocked so I will continue to challenge their crap

  • Just because it's become a daily occurrence (thanks Israel!) doesn't mean we should stop talking about it.

  • From what I've gathered, many were shot in the upper body but many more died due to a stampede in the chaos that came after IDF shooting at a crowd with thousands of people.

  • Eye witnesses say the shots came first them the stampede. I think Aljazeera has footage of the moments before it all started.

  • Israel is not a majoritarian state. Very few Palestinians are allowed to vote or get any proper representation in government. How can they be ruled by a majority without even the right to vote?? It's no different than when women and blacks couldn't vote in elections in the US, and it's no diffenrent than south Africa.

    But does that phase you one bit? Nope.

  • I agree that the victims of the holocaust are 17 million by many estimates, but did you notice how the wikipedia page of it only mentions 6 million Jewish deaths under the Holocaust definition as an event?

    Curious to know what you think about that because it irks me. I don't see how all those dead Polish people aren't part of the tally.

  • I think they made the comparison to attempt to prevent a genocide. Sadly due to gatekeeping of the terms Nazis and Holocaust, they instead got called anti semitic and maybe lost their jobs.

  • I invite you to read the later career section. Some of it:

    In his last recorded interview, coinciding with the 2014 Israel-Gaza Conflict, he lambasted Zionists as Nazi criminals, asserted that German hatred of Jews was less deeply grounded than Israeli-Jewish hatred of Palestinians, and denounced PM Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks that demonstrations against the war were evidence of hatred of Israel.[citation needed] He was the first signatory of a statement by 250 Holocaust survivors and descendants of Holocaust survivors protesting that war.[19]

    At one talk, organized and hosted by the leader of the UK's Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, in 2010, Meyer was later reported to have repeatedly likened Israel's actions against the people of the Gaza Strip to the mass killing of Jews in the Holocaust and likened the government of Israel to that of Nazi Germany.[14][15]

  • Have you tried clearing your sinuses with a netty pot or similar?

  • Hamas should surrender right now and bring the violence to an end but it won’t.

    I think it's absolutely naive to think that Israeli oppression of Palestinians would end by anyone surrendering.

  • Anyone call this a Holocaust level genocide is an absolute moron.

    What about these guys?

    Holocaust survivors who are anti-Zionist:

    • Hajo Meyer

      Meyer repeatedly argued that there are parallels between the Nazi treatment of Jews leading to (but not including) the Holocaust, and Israel's dehumanization of Palestinians.

    • Marione Ingram

      Ingram says experiencing anti-Jewish hate, losing family members to the Nazi killing machine and surviving the Allied bombing of Hamburg as a child all inspire her to speak out for peace. “What Israel is doing will not end this conflict. It will only exacerbate it,” says Ingram.

    • Tal Frieden, grandchild of a Holocaust survivor

      The rally was loud in its claim that Israel has the unconditional support of the U.S. government. But the U.S. people do not support Israel’s attack on Gaza, which Holocaust scholars have deemed a genocide.

    • Elliot Kukla, another grandchild of a holocaust survivors

      My father was also deprived of medical care as a child, and that legacy scarred him for life physically and psychologically. While he was in hiding, he got sick with whooping cough; the sound of his coughing threatened his own life and the life of the family who sheltered him from Nazis. To spare everyone, he was taken to a Catholic orphanage in the countryside of Belgium.

    • Seven other holocaust survivors likening the treatment of Palestinians to the treatment of Jews by Nazi Germany. I'm excluding Hajo Meyer since I already listed him and Gabor Mate because somehow him being only 1 year old during the holocaust and not a resident of Israel makes him "not real enough to comment on such issues" for some people

  • I see the denial is kicking in even stronger. The uglier Israel's crimes are, the more pathetic your excuses and analysis.

  • The latest count on Al-Jazeera was 109 with over 800 wounded, and reports of 40 bodies bulldozed away that no one can reach. They did shoot at a crowd of thousands.

  • Often companies have layoff packages that pay workers X months of pay as a severance agreement, doesn't that mean they would be paying triple wages for some number of employees? Wouldn't that bring their costs up?

  • Wish I understood what drives the yearly layoffs tide

  • Mind you, if these were 700 highly professional workers fluent in English (or whichever language we’re talking about) with deep knowledge of the problems their customers face and high social and problem solving skills, it’s a harder claim to believe that the ratings would be the same.

    But they probably are... or a large chunk of them. I disagree with that customer service is a useless job with no skill set.

    Here's another article on the same topic btw:

    https://gizmodo.com/klarna-ceo-ai-chatbot-customer-service-700-jobs-layoffs-1851293200

    Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski bragged on Tuesday that his company’s new OpenAI-powered customer service chatbot was doing the work of 700 people—nearly two years after Klarna laid off about 700 people.

    Specifying the number of human jobs that could be done by AI didn’t seem to be a good decision on Siemiatkowski’s part, however. Fast Company quickly pointed out that Klarna just so happened to have laid off approximately 700 people in 2022, which raised questions over whether the company had replaced those workers with AI.

    To his credit, Siemiatkowski also pointed this out in his post on X, though he did not explain why the company felt the need to equate AI work to human work or how it made its calculations.

    Seems like they decided this KPI two years after laying people off lol

    To me, it looks like Klarna is just full of shit.
