    Israel always had tensions and responded to Oct 7, they don’t deliberately target civilians, Hamas uses human shields, which leads to dead civilians. (Many rouge soldiers who go largely unpunished, but no statewide policy, so no indiscriminate bombing.) No mass graves from street executions, no children kidnapped. Moving Israelis in to replace Palestinians does happen in the west bank, but not Gaza and it’s not really state policy, although they really should crack down on that.

    This was you 3 months ago. You are exactly what I’m talking about. Don’t try and pretend you aren’t a Zionist. I don’t even have to say imo like with finitebanjo. He is subtle but you are clear about it.

    The only thing “west” about Israel is who they are blackmailing and bribing.

      I don’t remember what that was was in response to, but it sounds like I’m comparing Israel to Russia. In which case I’m just right that Israel is way better.

      But please do tell me where I was wrong there.

      The “west” thing about Israel is that they are historically an ally of the US (still are) and a democracy with open archives, so we can see the bad things they did. None of the Arab states let people into the archives, so the comparison always feels weird.

      As for “Zionist”: Yes Israel has a right to exist. I like how the internet pretends like that’s not a completely normal opinion XD

      Could you provide a source for your quote please?

      I had a quick browse through their profile and modlog and couldn’t find it.

      I saw comments with a similar vibe so I don’t much doubt they said it, and it’s rather just a federation issue or incompetence on my end, but a link would make your quote more credible.

        Edit: it’s in the modlog (3 months ago). I just copy pasted the middle part and dropped where he talks about Russia since it didn’t seem relevant. I didn’t want to post a wall of text.

        It’s a pattern though with him, I recognize the name.

          Looks like they generally have shitty opinions. 1000059107

          I wonder how they feel about the mod of an anti-tankie comm being a eurocom.

          While there is no rule against being Zionist here, I will suggest to them to tread carefully because it will become very uncomfortable in here to someone who is so blatantly zionist. And I am not the one who uses the term as liberally as peeps from the tankie triad or dbzer0. Nonetheless, I take huge issue with people who deny the Palestinian genocide or any genocide for that matter (such as the trans genocide).

            To be fair, that sounds like an oxymoron. The Communists and Anarchists usually start killing each other after the revolution.

            And yes, a communist being a mod here is sad. How do all the lib spaces get infiltrated by these LARPers.

            The second comment is just me being annoyed. “Rape” is so inaccurate and overused. The article this is from describes something more in the direction of torture than rape.

              Tankies aren’t communists though. Show me where they ever moved towards communism instead of a totalitarian shithole. Like I am a eurocom for example. At least we try to move closer to a communist endgoal through democratic socialism. Tankies don’t even do that. They do sham democracies with sham elections and have dictators.

              And tankies call me an anti-communist not because I am against communism, but against tankies. They hate me for liking George Orwell, somewhat liking Tito and liking Dubcek. They hate me, because I don’t think they are communists even though they like to claim they are.

              Also “a communist being a mod here is sad” is why you wont be welcome here anymore. You clearly can’t differentiate between communist and tankie.

          I’m on my phone so it’s probably just incompetence on my end. I’ll have another look, ta!

            I edited my comment, it’s just because I didn’t paste the whole comment, only the middle of it so it’s easy to scroll over.

      And you dudes compare me to those talentless shills lacking any nuance or imagination. I’m rather insulted. Fuck Netanyahu, Israel kills more journalists and doctors than the Nazis did.
