how the fuck do zionists take themselves seriously
"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. "
seriously disgusting and like I feel embarassed for non Zionists. Pulling this Holocaust card anyone tries to hold them to account - just fuck all the way off.
Who is holding concentration camps? Who is denying an entire race of people equal rights? Who is doing all the shit Nazis did? Who is doing a genocidal ethnostate? Yeah Never Again take Israel seriously.
Yeah. You can kind of see where GOP Evangelicals get it. It’d be interesting to run compare speeches from different fascist movements and compare the “us against the world” rhetoric.
Can’t wait for the Spielberg Oscar Bait about bombing Hospitals. Yes, yes, I know… Step away from the lathe.
I don’t even understand this as political theater. Israel has never followed UN resolutions and typically sees its very existence as a nuisance.
The role of the UN is largely performative. It exists as much to rally various countries to independent action as to create global consensus.
So the Israelis show up in striped pajamas and grease paint on their faces, while insisting that every living Gaza resident is another Tomás de Torquemada, and a bunch of American press agents film them in sepia while playing violin music. And then Congress green lights $14B in anti-Palestinian nerve gas while the sea otters on cable news clap.
Inverse Godwin’s Law, but it’s just regular Godwin’s Law with a Zionist coat of paint
Imma call it Herzl’s Law after the father of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, and especially because of this quote of his:
“We [Jews] are naturally drawn into those places where we are not persecuted, and our appearance there gives rise to persecution. This is the case, and will inevitably be so, everywhere…”
