    Durable peace in the middle east is not possible while the state of Israel exists.

    Same thing in the USA. Trump is a symptom. He could drop dead tomorrow and somehow take half of the admin with him, and the problem would still be there. The underlying problem is that roughly 1/3rd of your population is frothing at the mouth to slaughter another 1/3rd while the final third stand by and watch silently. This is not something you can fix with elections alone.

      @Kyrgizion exactly.

      This is the problem I have with blue MAGAts on bluesky. They are so focused on Trump and the BS story of Russia causing the problem in their society, they ignore the massive army of evangelical Christian Zionist movement that got Bush and Trump into power and control most of the media in the country.

      It’s the pre programmed mindset Hollywood worked so hard for decades to get into people’s heads that the problem is always because of one bad guy not the movement behind it

    Remember that the Holocaust had majority support in Germany too.

    Saying Israel is like Nazi Germany is absolutely not a metaphor. There are more similarities than there are differences, they just switched up which ethnic group is the target.

        I’m tired of hearing this. Every population has a segment of straight up fascists in it and the zionist project explicitly selected for those people. Calling it generational trauma is centering the jewishness of the project and doing the same equating that they do to justify themselves. Most jews don’t live in ‘israel’. Most jews aren’t fascist. Most jews don’t display this ‘generational trauma’. And there are a lot of fascists of other backgrounds that don’t have the ‘generational trauma’ yet exhibit the same attitudes.

        So that’s not what’s going on. They’re not victims; they’re fascists.

    in case you’re wondering, here “white”=“majority,” not the definition used politically in most countries. Retro-etymology being “blank,” or “standard,” like a sheet of paper without details. In Japan, for instance, white people are ethnically japanese. I point this out because in Israel the majority would not be considered white in many places in the world; Jews would elsewhere be considered a diverse conglomerate of ethnicities.

    I normally advocate for terms like “racial supremacist” or “ethno-supremacist” in a context like this because people don’t get nearly as defensive when they hear this, but white supremacy is catchy as a term I guess and so it perseveres.

      It’s a way to virtue signal, misdirect the anger and get clicks
