Bairnardo Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 It's always depressing as f**k when you see someone who's been around for many decades not seeing the obvious subtext on issues like this for whatever reason.Are you meaning the standard "aye but surely all lives matter" types?If so I agree. I had this at work yesterday. Started off as a conversation about BLM and ended up with why isnt there a straight pride day aswell. I started off arguing the point but the tide of men in their 40s and 50s shouting the odds was too strong and it became a very depressing listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Eugenics, like Fascism and other old-timey philosophies, appears to be making a comeback. What a time to be alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so loaded with antisemitism whether someone means it or not. Just say taking Palestinian land it's much clearer what the beef is. The term is used within Israeli politics. It originated in debates between European Jews at the end of the 19th century. What it means is perfectly clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are labeled as antisemetic by Jewish groups then they will lose support. Maybe, just maybe, this could be a decent side-effect of BLM - if the so-called representatives of the Jewish Community like the BoD find themselves on the undeniably wrong side of the argument yet again, but this time undeniably visible as being the wrong side. BLM isn't some theoretical issue we see on the news and then let "spokesmen" tell us what it means - racism has been part and parcel of all our lives, we all know it's wrong, and anyone with half an ounce of humanity wants it to stop. To oppose BLM or any other ant-racist movement at this point invites criticism of your own actions* and motives. 3 hours ago, MixuFruit said: I wish folk would just ditch the word Zionism when talking about taking Palestinian land.

To me, the issue is very much a set of absolute racist cúnts still playing the victim card three quarters of a century after the entire civilised world rallied round and tried to help them rebuild their lives and identity after an absolutely horrific state-sponsored genocide. A set of absolute racist cúnts who are currently carrying out an absolutely horrific state-sponsored genocide. At least we were allowed to criticise the Nazis. Note - not because they were German. Because they were cúnts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 As Martin Luther King said, Quote “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism!” It's the "nudge nudge, wink wink" acceptable racism of the Left. https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/martinkramer/files/words_of_martin_luther_king.pdf BLM speaking about Palestine has more to do with the people who have jumped on the BLM bandwagon, the people who obsess over Palestine and see Israel as the evil guiding hand behind everything.

Because they were cúnts. Loving the idea that the world 'rallied round' to help Jewish survivors as opposed to, erm, keeping next to all of the property stolen from them in Nazi occupied/aligned Europe and punting them on the next boat to Palestine to get them out of the road, which is what actually happened after 1945 to the vast majority of survivors. The rebuilding of a Jewish identity - if by this you're somewhat obliquely referring to the creation of the state of Israel - was of course a concession largely extracted through violence from a reluctant colonial authority (guess who?). The US and the Soviet Union both supported Israeli statehood primarily because they viewed it as a potential ally to serve their geopolitical interests in the Middle East, not as an altruistic gesture because of the Holocaust. The newly liberated states of eastern Europe meanwhile were more than happy to encourage their residual Jewish population to emigrate to an emerging Jewish nation-state: indeed this had been the primary policy goal of the massively anti-Semitic Polish state between the world wars. Try actually reading some authoritative history about the Holocaust - Timothy Snyder's Black Earth is a readily available starting point - instead of peddling this ahistorical drivel in the public domain.

Silvio Tattiescone Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 First time I've ever greenied a VT post I think. Britain actively tried to stop the formation of a Jewish state - hence the Israeli terrorism campaign against the Brits. Then, as it became inevitable, tried to broker a deal between the incoming Jews and the Arabs but gave up because both sides refused to compromise. The day after Israel was formed, the Arab states invaded and tried to wipe them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
