It's israel who murdered them so the usa will do nothing about it

They're also Arab-Americans presumably so Trump isn't going to care.

mrdown@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 339d (7 replies)

I am pretty sure he wouldn't care even if they was non arab americans

If that was a white family? Oh I bet he'd care.

American imperialism is more important for trump then white people

Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 338d

Yeah but with the power of social media we can suddenly make random white people more pressing or at least more distracting than the imperialism...

See Melissa Hortman. He wouldn't care short of another CK. And even then, it would only go as far as his political or financial gain.

devolution@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 338d

Not necessarily. They would have to be white male conservative pedophiles for him to care because of Ya'll remember, a bunch of blonde little white girls died in a flood in Texas and he didn't bat an eye.

NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io · 28 pts · 339d

Yes.

I can’t wait until we (Lebanon) get sanctioned over this.

Why would the US be mad? Copy-write infringement?

A week hearing about a single nazi propagandist shot by his own people.

This is 4 Americans, 3 of them children.

If they aren't covering this more than the nazi propgandist, it's because you're being forced to watch nazi propaganda.

If they covered this people would be more likely to realize that the munitions that killed them were built in a factory in america by americans.

Israel deliberately attacked a US Naval ship, the USS Liberty, in 1967. They killed 34 sailors and wounded 200 and the US government did absolutely nothing.

Israel's impunity goes way back.

Why did they do it? How was the ship dressed?

Didn't they try to blame some other poor country for it as well? Those Israeli's are a duplicitous bunch...

TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -13 pts · 338d (12 replies)

that just sounds anti semitic

SphereofWreckening@ttrpg.network · 6 pts · 338d (11 replies)

Conflating Israel to all Jewish people is innately antisemitic.

Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio · 5 pts · 337d (3 replies)

Thank you. In so sick of responding to that bullshit. BS like that is exactly WHY Israel keeps getting away with this shit, lo these many years.

Are we sure this isn't an example of poe's law?

TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -6 pts · 337d (1 reply)

see above response. you're talking about my fucking friend, asshole.

Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio · 1 pts · 337d

Who's your friend? Netenyahoo? Fuck him too.

TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -8 pts · 337d (6 replies)

no, making blanket statements about a group of people based on the actions of their government is what sounds antisemitic. doubly so when the blanket statement is a blatant racial stereotype. like you can't just pretend that shit isn't real?? "Israelis are duplicitous"?? what the fuck, do you even know any Israelis? you're talking about my fucking friend asshole, and they dont approve of bibi either

SphereofWreckening@ttrpg.network · 5 pts · 337d (5 replies)

OK? It's still not anti-semetic. Xenophobic, sure. But if you think any anti-Israel comment is anti-semetic then you yourself are anti-semetic.

Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio · 1 pts · 337d (1 reply)

Wait until you tell him, Arabs and Palestinians are all "semetic"

Really blow his fucking mind lmao.

Bigot: "those blacks sure are lazy"

Idiot: "excuse me, that's antisemitic"

who would you rather be? cuz right now, you're acting like the first one

TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -1 pts · 337d (2 replies)

are you fucking kidding me?

fine, it's not anti Semitic. it's bigoted. is that better?? is this the hill you'll fucking die on?

this is basically like you saying "those blacks sure are lazy" and i said "excuse me, that's antisemitic". fine, i might be an idiot, but you're still a fucking racist asshole.

and you fucking ideological sheep reading this and playing along, caring more about politics and buzzwords than bigotry and hatred, or who the "real victim" is, you're all complicit in the bigotry and hatred too. wake the fuck up from your ideologies and see people for who they are

Well, Israel is committing a genocide after decades of attempts and active apartheid. So you're missing some incredibly important context. While not all people of Israeli origins are bad, anyone that's proud of being Israeli certainly is.

Israel has the right to not only unalive American children, but to fondle them as well.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 339d

They must have been American Hamas terrorists then. Even the children!

Israeli forces have continued to occupy five Lebanese hilltop points by the border.

And then:

Israel frequently says it is targeting Hezbollah militants or infrastructure in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah has only claimed firing across the border once since the ceasefire, but Israel says the militant group is trying to rebuild its capabilities.

It is quite telling, isn't it?

"We were attempting to target civilians, and we hit civilians. Yeah uh, we'll review it..."

"The terrorists are using human shields"

You mean people live with their families? That doesn't make it okay to kill anyone you want.

Trump: That's a shame. I could've fucked 'em. Eh, plenty more kids in the sea.

Like always the US will just say Israel will investigate itself and do nothing else.

Brown and Arab American lives don't count when Israelis kill them. We've seen this when Israel killed Shareen Abuaqlah, who was a Christian American journalist but was Arab unfortunately.

selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 337d (1 reply)

And nothing will be done or even said about it.

thatradomguy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 337d

Exactly. Not a peep from chief dingo dumbass.
