For decades, we have been in the streets in defense of the Palestinian people, and will continue to fight until the total liberation of Palestine!

      In response to a first hand account of fear over genocidal bombing campaigns and exodus, you decided to center yourself and try to get in some genocidal-apologetic zingers.

          Hitler was in a position of power. You are more of a Himmler supporter that rationalizes pogroms.

            Ehhh…Himmler had more power than I do. I’d be more of a faceless Nazi bureaucrat stamping the train schedules.

              I said supporter of Himmler, not Himmler himself.

              Your flippant celebration of complicity in genocide gives you a lot in common with the people you claim to oppose.

                Nah, Himmler was too into the whole “German super race” and occultism - too “out there” for me personally.

                And your flippant use of “you support genocide” to random people at the ballot box really helps the average person see the values of ditching capitalism.

                  Did you know that analogies are different from exactly equivalent things? You are doing deflecting dances to avoid the actual challenge. You are a supporter of a genocidal regime, and continuing that regime, and you rationalize this to yourself as harm reduction. Which is, incidentally, a bad faith appropriation of leftist thought.

                  And your flippant use of “you support genocide”

                  I do not say that flippantly, I say it with all seriousness. You are now just copying my terms because you would like to pretend there is hypocrisy, the highest of crimes in a liberal mind.

                  to random people at the ballot box

                  We are on a Lemmy server and you are advocating for a genocidal campaign with bad faith rhetoric.

                  really helps the average person see the values of ditching capitalism.

                  Principled agitation is absolutely essential for growing the movement. It works for recruitment and it works for changing “the discourse”. I have actual experience and success with this. I am positive you do not.
