“We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine,” the duo said on Instagram. “A machine whose own soldiers were told to use ‘unnecessary lethal force’ against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza. We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.”

    There is no backlash. It’s manufactured outrage by Zionists and their puppets in media and politics.

      That’s probably true of most things people think/say about the IDF at this point. Even my massively zionist “most moral military” aunt is calling it a genocide and is starting to oppose them

        I wish my parents paid as much attention as your aunt. The other day they gave me the very good news that all the articles I send them about the genocide are made up! The BBC had to rescind their articles because the sources aren’t trustworthy, they told me. So no genocide at all!

        😐

        The only thing nazis were right about was when Hitler bit the barrel of his gun. Fuck nazis. Our Jewish brothers and sisters out here in the diaspora are not to blame for what the Israeli fascist regime is doing.

          Of course not. Those who support the bastard leaders of Israel and their dogs the IDF are complicit in the public opinion of Israel, regardless of faith. Apologies if it sounded like I was mad at all Jews, because that is not my belief.

          Exactly. Genocide was wrong then and it’s wrong now. It should not even be a question that we all condemn Hitler and his genocidal Nazi regime - just as it should not be a question that we condemn Israel and its genocidal Nazi regime.

          The Holocaust of the Jews was a horrific, unforgivable crime. So too is the Holocaust of the Palestinians. This is non-negotiable for any person of conscience.

          I think recent polls suggested it was about 50/50 that support what Israel is doing. It was around 80% at the beginning of the war, so many have come a long way. Honestly, sort of similar to the American support of the Iraq War.
