Essa Al-Nassr, a member of the Qatari legislative Shura council, spoke on Monday at an Arab League session, received ovation making bigoted accusations against Jews and promising the end of Israel.
Ok, that is antisemitism. I fully encourage us to weaken ties to Qatar over that
Faith is fine and I encourage it. Organized religion corrupts. These assholes need to check themselves.
I’m increasingly believing that nothing is worse for the human brain than believing you’re righteous except for power. Organized religion isn’t the root of this but a handy and convenient way to combine the two
Quatar is famous for its neutrality, even in this conflict. US aid to Israel in part flows through US bases in Quatar, just miles from where Hamas leaders live. I haven’t exactly been keeping a close eye on them but I’m wondering what changed to make them say this. It’s not like they had any great concern for the plight of the Palestinians before this .
My imaginary tale is more real than YOUR imaginary tale.
A tale as old as time…
But it’s the same imaginary tale
One just includes the sequels
Fan fics.

It’s not to excuse this kind of thing, because it’s monstrous, but you can draw a line from this rhetoric to Netanyahu’s actions.
He’s put a target on the backs of the entire Jewish diaspora.
That’s the infuriating thing about this whole mess that feels impossible to solve.
Rhetoric like this directly radicalizes Israelis and pushes them towards violent escalation, which then radicalizes Palestinians into violence as well, further inspiring more Israeli violence, and on and on the cycle goes.
And then anyone who advocates for any amount of moderation will simultaneously get called a terrorist sympathizer for not wanting to nuke Gaza and a genocide accomplice for not wanting to forcibly remove or kill every Israeli.
Assholes, assholes everywhere. Islamist assholes, Zionist assholes , christian assholes trying to get the apocalypse going so they can be raptured. Capitalist Media assholes getting clicks from public outrage. And a whole of other asshole I’m not even aware of. We have laws about what kind of killing is acceptable. Those law were negotiated by people with zero chance of being subjected to lawful murder.
Especially given that last year most of the Gulf states had/were in the process of normalizing and publicizing diplomatic ties with Israel. Qatar has always been the odd one out in the Gulf, but the fact that these disgusting comments were lauded speaks to how much damage Netanyahu has done in such a short time.
It’s on purpose.
Nothing creates unity like a shared enemy, and there’s no better shared enemy than Every One That’s Not Us™️.
It’s why a lot of religious groups generate persecution complexes- it keeps people from leaving the fold.
This is a rather strong statement. I’m glad not to participate in that part of the world with any of the people involved. They really are not my cup of tea.
What a vile, sick and disgusting thing to say.
That’s not especially helpful, but A for effort I guess?
Edit: Am I being downvoted because I think antisemitism isn’t helpful or am I being downvoted because of the “I guess you tried” second part?
I think a band of tankie bots sweeps through about 6 hours after a post and downvotes everyone. It seems to balance out about 12h later.
Could be. I just wish people would explain why they are downvoting. I don’t care that six people downvoted me (as of now), I just want to know their reasoning.
What effort? To make the whole shitshow a bit worse? They had an option to do nothing, and they said this?
Do people really not know that “A for effort” is a phrase that is almost always used in a sarcastic way?
Guilty as charged, your honor.
Ok, fair enough. It’s a phrase I thought was very common.

That’s weird. I wonder if it is because of the genocide?
So, is it right to commit genocide because of another genocide that exists only in your mind?
A person suggesting genocide as a solution is a dangerous idiot; a country actually performing war crimes that make the whole world wonder if they are commiting genocide needs to be stopped.
I don’t want to debate the semantics of genocide, I just want them to stop murdering everything that moves, destroying all infrastructure, and starving an entire population.
How could we execute this in such a way that it cannot be considered genocide but extinction? Perhaps a faulty experimental satellite somehow tows an asteroid and turns the nazionist cities into sodom and Gomorrah like in their fairy tales? Surely that counts as just good old extinction event instead. /S
A person suggesting genocide as a solution is a dangerous idiot
Agree.
Nothing about war is pleasent.
Do you have a picture of that?

Are you talking about the one implying Israel is doing a final solution to Palestinians?
Yes they are.
