Kinda politics, kinda culture. Definitely both. Thoughts?

    Aw did the mean words hurt them? Israel’s actively ordering bombings of children and shootings of starving mothers. It’s like saying “Death to the wehrmact”

        You’re the only one talking about Hamas here.

        No “death to Nazis” chants? That obviously makes your point invalid since you didn’t discuss them. (/s, this is the equivalent argument and it’s ridiculously stupid and childish.)

        Whataboutism only makes you look small minded, braindead, even. As if team sports is as complicated as your tiny brain can comprehend, and thusly you process all world events as if they’re team sports. You know, like a moron.

      While I agree that the chant might be a bit crass, I think it’s his right to say it. He’s saying the army and what it does is shit, and should suffer. I find it very discouraging that such a statement is called antisemitic. The way you frame it is exactly how I see it, it’s death to the abusers, to the killers, the soldiers. It’s about the violence committed by the army.

      It would be as if The Andrew Sisters at a gig in 1943 shouted “Death to the wehrmacht”, and people reacted with “well that’s quite anti-german innit?”. No it’s not, it’s anti Wehrmacht, just like his chant has something specifically to do with the IDF, not with Israelis.

      Herzlians will be more offended by this comment—likening their régime to the Third Reich—than they’ll be offended by the indisputable evidence of the IOF exterminating civilians.

          Yeah, I’m sorry, didn’t mean to come across so snarky to you, I really just wanted to rag on England (specifically)

          I left the UK (not from there originally) because I didn’t like it there, but I’d still move there from the USA

    Whilst I’ll never agree with such chants, see the thing is whilst this embassy official might not give two shits about the amount of wanton death being inflicted by the IDF, others do.

    Israeli embassy ‘deeply disturbed’

    Oh gosh, I am so sorry, nevermind.

    You know what is deeply disturbing? Murdering and starving civilians, including children.

    They should be more worried about the thousands cheering when he said it. Seems Isntreal is losing the narrative and, once los1t, will be damn near impossible to reclaim.

    I’m deeply disturbed from seeing all the war crimes and snuff film-like videos coming of Gaza every day because of the modern day Wehrmacht but Palestine instead of eastern Europe. Fuck the entirety of IDF.
