Love this image, but it feel really incomplete without this 🇧🇪 flag.
Yeah let’s get some of them middle eastern value instead so we can start throwing queers off buildings!
Jewish conservatives are only a slight improvement on that front.
Same with American Conservatives.
The radical Islamic revolutionaries were backed heavily by America during the Cold War as a check agaisnt Communism spreading to the Middle East. The current state of the Middle Eastern values is due to American Intervention in the region, because radical regious governments are better than Communist Governments in the eyes of Global Capital.
Like Iran
Counterpoint: the Ba’athists in Iraq were also heavily backed by America, even though they were pan-Arab Socialists.
Whenever someone tries this argument I like reminding them how Israel was spiraling towards fascist dictatorship immediately prior to this war.
Some cynics would say still counts but everyone else short circuits in the funniest ways.
Tbf, I wouldn’t mind seeing an overhaul of the Supreme Court here in the United States. The Justices have too much power with no term limits and nothing to truly stop them.
Hell, just do the Second Constitutional Convention already.
Weird definition of colonialism.
pathetic worm but tell me about human rights in the shitlands between gaza and theran. gay marriage? free press? isreal could be the Borg and it’ll still be a better society then the shit syria, iran and the other scumbags do. crazy how no muslim nation allows “tHeiR bRoTheRs aND sIstErS” in. Egypt be like: hell no those gazians cant come. so the pathetic worm knows what about values? nothing.
Gotta be honest with you, arguments about colonization kind of ring hollow when they were literally the original tribes living there and then had their lands colonized away from them, but still form a cohesive ethnic group thousands of years later. Unless we’ve started to impose some arbitrary statute of limitations I’m not aware on colonialism so that we exclude Israel from being colonized and the Jews exiled? Denying Jews rights would be par for the course throughout history I guess. I condemn acts of genocide, but I’m not going to say Jews don’t have some rights to the territory.
The same people saying Jews are colonizers will also talk about how literally any other ethnic group (especially Native Americans) should be given their land rights back. Their reasoning gives me a headache because it’s cognitively dissonant, and I’ve had a few agree and realize the situation is much more complicated and nuanced after I pointed the double standard out to them.
If we want to criticize the Israel state and their military for their policies and actions, giddy up. I’m on board. If we want to have discussions about colonialism, sorry, but I’m getting off this ride because I can’t justify moralizing over it
