    Because if they really were Palestinians, obviously that would’ve been perfectly A-OK?

    I assume if he had shot Palestinians like he thought he did, DeSantis would have given him some sort of award.

    Racists are never the sharpest tools in the shed. Most racist man I ever knew was never wronged by anyone except people of his own race, go figure.

    Like all for all other Nazi-style movements, Zionists are going into the next stage of ethno-Fascism: the part were the Zionists start killing other members of the ethnicity they claim to represent for “not being White enough”.

    (Just go check how they treat Ethiopian Jews is Israel if you have any doubt that they’re a white supremacist movement)

      Those evil white supremacists Jews got out of their way to save Ethiopian Jews with covert airlifts. There were continuous efforts to bring Ethiopia Jews to Israel, lead by Natanyahu among others.

      Sure there’s prejudice around skin color and discrimination, but isn’t this the case all around the world? Ethiopian Israelis have their struggles, but overall their community is doing very well. Bibi Netanyahu has many times publicly denounced racism against Ethiopian Jews and met with victims of violence. Here Bibi celebrates an Ethiopian IDF officer publicly as a hero to standing ovations. There are special scholarships for Ethiopian Jews to higher education and integrate them better into society. The IDF makes an effort in this field as well.

      Let’s listen to what Ethiopian Jews have to say about this,

      Why do black Palestinians in Gaza mostly live in a quarter named Al Abeed meaning literally slave?

      Nazi-style movements, Zionists

      Oh it’s blatant antisemitism time again.

        It’s not antisemitism, it’s anti-Zionism. And accusations of Zionism being fascist aren’t new. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun

        An extract: ‘Albert Einstein, in a letter to The New York Times in 1948, compared Irgun and its successor Herut party to “Nazi and Fascist parties” and described it as a “terrorist, right wing, chauvinist organization”.’

        But what would a genius German Jew who escaped the Holocaust know about fascism, right?

          The Irgun were legit far right terrorists and committed atrocities.

          Here’s what Einstein actually said about Zionism.

          Long before the emergence of Hitler I made the cause of Zionism mine because through it I saw a means of correcting a flagrant wrong…The Jewish people alone has for centuries been in the anomalous position of being victimized and hounded as a people, though bereft of all the rights and protections which even the smallest people normally has…Zionism offered the means of ending this discrimination. Through the return to the land to which they were bound by close historic ties…Jews sought to abolish their pariah status among peoples… The advent of Hitler underscored with a savage logic all the disastrous implications contained in the abnormal situation in which Jews found themselves. Millions of Jews perished… because there was no spot on the globe where they could find sanctuary…The Jewish survivors demand the right to dwell amid brothers, on the ancient soil of their fathers.

          If we wait until the Great Powers and the United Nations fulfill their commitments to us then our Palestinian brothers [i.e. the Jews in Palestine] will be under the ground before this is accomplished" and "On the destiny of our Palestinians [i.e. the Jews in Palestine] will depend, in the long run, the destiny of the remaining Jews in the world. For no one respects or bothers about those who do not fight for their rights

          Albert Einstein was a socialist labor Zionist, which was the mainstream of Zionism back then.

          Einstein left Germany in 1932 before the Nazis took power. His nationality was Swiss, not German.

          To you Einstein is just a token Jew to use for your campaign of hate. You don’t give an actual shit about him or the Holocaust. They’re only tools to fight against Israel‘s existence. It’s the vile face of contemporary antisemitism.

      He used 17 shots and the result:

      sent the two victims to the hospital for their wounds, with one reportedly shot in the shoulder and the other hit in the forearm

      So yes, that was lucky!

      the suspect, 27-year-old Mordechai Brafman, who shot them 17 times, was charged with attempted murder.

      So I guess the shooter was lucky too, he survived the arrest.

            The real question: Is their skin pale enough to benefit from white privilege? B/c that’s all that “whiteness” is.

                And the racists say: Jews are not white. The Nazis said it all the time—the project of the Jews, as far as they were concerned, was to undermine the Aryan white races. And the exclusion of Jews from the category of whiteness is still key to present-day white supremacists.

                Also:

                Well, according to the law of Schrödinger’s Whites, a brilliant conceit that I am not responsible for, in which Jews are white or non-white depending on the politics of the observer, in this context Krug’s Jewishness enhances the story.

                ― David Baddiel, Jews Don’t Count

                (Highly recommend that book, by the way.)

              That’s obviously not all whiteness is when the richest man in the world says you don’t belong to the white club.

      They literally did. One of the victims allegedly posted on Instagram some pics from the aftermath of the shooting and wrote “Death to Arabs” in Hebrew. Imagine the uproar and condemnation if someone posts the same slogan for them?

    I love that, no matter who we elect, there’s never any reasonable movement on gun control.

    (That’s sarcasm. I don’t love it.)

      Biden was pretty shit on police accountability and gun control, but they did implement universal background checks for gun sales. Conversely, the previous Trump administration removed a portion of background checks for mental instability/incompetence.

      So there is a pretty large measurable difference between who we elect on gun control.

        I’ve been reading about dems making progress on “gun control” through the minimal “background checks” path since Clinton’s brady bill passed in 1993 and supposedly gave us the same exact thing. But somehow here we are 32 years later celebrating it like its new and was ever going to make any dent in the real problem.

        Harris was talking lovingly about her glock on the campaign trail. What a fine example for children everywhere. The centrists have never led the party anywhere in terms of gun control, and never will. They dont care to solve the problem.
