Imagine someone showing up wearing a Nazi flag at a synagogue. That would be considered a hate crime.

This is no different.

I had this exact thought yesterday, but was looking for hate speech and couldn't find anything applicable.

Had another look for hate crime.

I guess 423.3 of Bill C-9?

Its a little different they could just be wearing a really old like Navajo blanket or something and they're less likely to be a spree killer in any case which is wild

The Israeli flag is not the equivalent to a Nazi flag.

Dogiedog64@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 93d (3 replies)

Considering that Israel is CURRENTLY committing genocides in no less than 3 countries, while also illegally settling their own people in those countries, makes them EXACTLY like the Nazis. They're the same picture, you Zionist freak.

SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml · 11 pts · 93d (2 replies)

The Nazis great crime wasn't that they did all that stuff. It's that they did it to other Europeans.

The Nazis actively drew from Manifest Destiny, the Armenian Genocide, and Boer War concentration camps as inspiration for their project.

Everything the Nazis did was deemed entirely permissible by the so-called Civilized world, so long as it was done to people who weren't white. And Israel gets a pass for very similar reasons.

It's not that they were white (They were mostly Jewish).

It's that they were on the other side of the war. If Israel was allied with Russia then what they're doing wouldn't be okay either.

It is. 💯 percent.

The whole project is based on an ideology that's nearly the same, that was elaborated during the same time when theories like eugenics were popular.

Israeli zionists think they are a superior race and everyone else is just as good as cattle. They treat people, especially people from Arab countries and even worse, Palestinians, about the same way Jewish people were treated under the Nazi regime. Indiscriminately killing them with guns, tanks, bombs. And not just the army, but settlers as well.

If you wait a bit, I'd bet they'll start creating gas chambers to kill Palestinians and Lebanese people.

They'll even attack, unashamedly and without any repercussions, anyone who isn't a zionist jew. Including Christians and Catholics who live there. All with the blessings of the government and the army.

Heck, the whole thing started with a genocide that's still ongoing.

When the flag symbol is being branded on civilian's faces during a genocide, it's a Nazi symbol and flag.

Thousands of missiles have been launched from Gaza and Lebanon, financed by Iran. Israel has finally decided to say enough is enough. I believe Israel has a right to exist, and also has a right to defend itself.

correct.

IT IS WORSE.

HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 92d

No... It is. And I'll say even if it's not, the action of the Zionist is no different than the action of a Nazi when Zionism is ultimately a death cult that wants to wipe out Islam.

They should have done what Israel normally does when trying to remove people.

Give him 30 mins to leave and call in an air strike.

Rat_in_a_hat@lemmy.ca · 25 pts · 94d

That's generous, what Israel does is wait till the person returns home to their family and then bombs the whole home - the "where's daddy" protocol

I think it shows great restraint from the people at the mosque. Especially since Muslims have been victims of terrorism in North America for the past few years with shooters attacking their places of worship.

There was one in the US a few days ago. Another one in Christchurch New Zealand in 2019, and another one in Québec city Canada in 2017, another one in Zurich Switzerland in 2016, not to mention a shooting in Palestine at the Dome of the Rock mosque in 1982 by an Israeli reservist.

secular Zionist shows up at religious house of worship to threaten and intimidate religious people

Lemmy : fuck religion, am I right?

qevlarr@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 93d

It's not really about religion. Zionism is nationalist extremism. Lots of orthodox Jews oppose Israel's violence, as well

The Muslims should have encircled him and talked to him and been very kind and welcoming.
No better way to get good publicly.

IndustryStandard@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 93d

The context said they did try talking to the man but he refused to reason or leave. Turning it into a Jubilee "1 Zionist vs 20 Muslims" episode failed.

CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca · -6 pts · 94d (2 replies)

I wonder why none of the Imams talked to him. Looks like he wanted an interaction.

HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 92d (1 reply)

That's probably why, this looser is not worth engaging with, youre not going to change the mind of a person like the Zionist. You tell them to leave once then call the cops.

CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 87d

It's actually pretty funny you're trying to be insulting, and you can't spell loser. But seriously, learn just a bit of history.

Aaahh religion, the bane of our existence, the psychosis that is accept as normal that will kill us all.

Isn't it wonderful, look at the good that religions have brought us like the dark ages, the constant torture and murder of those that dare to step out of line, the constant rampant sexual abuse, the mental and physical abuse, the...

Why are we doing religion again?

And plenty of Jews despise Israel, I personally know a Jewish guy who hasn’t spoken to his own Zionist brother in 20 years specifically because of his support of Israel.
