This is what I woke up to this morning. Principal sent a generic email about the conflict, Muslim coworker responded, Jewish coworker responded to that. Principal stepped into tell everyone to shut the fuck up before it started to get out of hand.

All I have to say is that a lot of American Jews are generic progressive libs on most issues and are about ten degrees to the right of Adolph Hitler if you ask them about Palestine.

Edit: A couple of people have warned me about possible doxxing from this post, so I’m taking down the images.

    Boss: the Israel- Palestine conflict is so sad

    Muslim worker: its not a conflict it’s a genocide

    Asshole coworker: yeah, but they deserved it.

      morshupls Most of my family was killed by Nazis (Germans) in the Holocaust so now I get to kill your family (not Germans) and take their homes.

      Seriously disgusting for that person to bring up the Holocaust in this context.

      Some of the discourse surrounding this is terrifying. There is a justifiable response of anger and sadness to the videos being shared from when Hamas came into settlements, but the fact that the videos of the dead Palestinians are being suppressed should show directly that this is a one sided propaganda war.

      Something that people dismiss with the thought terminating cliche of “oh so you support the slaughter of innocent Israelis” without ever acknowledging that propaganda is about the emphasis of Israeli civilians being more important than Palestinian civilians.

        Underatandble? Maybe. Justifiable? Absolutely not.

        Easy solution to not getting killed by slaves: don’t be a slaver. Easy solution to not getting killed by native people: don’t be a settler. Just don’t fucking steal their homes and force them into a ghetto.

        Insofar as any were innocent (children, for instance, cannot be expected to understand colonialism), their deaths are ultimately the responsibility of the colonizer state that put them in the path of violence.

          I saw some videos of Hasan with some folks who have historical knowledge of what went on in Palestine for decades; it’s utterly horrifying the stuff they recounted.

          You may be aware of the information mentioned in these videos, but in case you might be curious (they’re long but very informational):

          The stuff the colonizing forces got up to is utterly psychotic, and 100% this is what our country would be doing to the natives today if we were still trying to steal their land (arguably more brutal though because we wouldn’t care about international opinion, and we don’t need the support of a powerful country; we are the powerful country). People supporting Israel today would absolutely support the settlers who brutally took over America.
