    Scorched Earth. Yet people around the world go to sleep thinking it’s OK, it’s over there and doesn’t affect me. Here in the UK we can STILL be arrested for protesting by wearing a tshirt, holding a placard or posting online.

        The Brits abroad in Dubai aren’t very popular here. We’d rather that they didn’t return. Tax dodging wealthy morons with no role in UK society other than their self serving / self awarded role of moaning about the UK whilst not even living here. Notably they are silent about the laws where they live. They know the consequences!

        Sorry just back from work. Our Shit4Brains Government proscribed it to beso. Legislation approve and then, WHAM, we’re criminals. Police are the enforcement authority so as soon as there are any public images they have to arrest. Were taken to the local police station to be charged. Courts recently said not right so law needs to be repealed. However… It requires time in Parliament etc., so police still required to arrest us. The officers are generally genuinely not happy about it and have been polite. I think Ministers have been squeezing the cops to enforce or themselves face action. Not long now and we will stop being arrestable. Yes, until you pointed it out, the UK is worse than the US. [Post work shift tirade concluded]

        He was protesting AI and the UK police misread his shirt and thought he was protesting Palestine. It’s not even if you’re wearing a shirt it’s if they THINK you are that’s enough to be arrested. Fucking wild imo

    There being no real pushback from the rest of the World on the present-day version of the NAZIs they will keep on doing ever more NAZI things until they’re openly running a modern equivalent of gas chambers and concentration camps (which they’re already doing covertly with Gaza and the mass murder of Palestinians there).

    So yeah, Israel was doing this, is still doing this and will do this in the future.

    Oh, and by the way, The Guardian was one of Israel’s greatest cheerleaders and Propaganda partner until recently and still is, now focusing more on the Iran war and being a bit less obvious in their pro-Israel propaganda (down from overtly doing it, now they’re mostly using Manufacturing Consent techniques like use of the passive/active depending on the side, passing statements from one side as fact whilst those of the other are listes as “claims” and so on).

        Actually it works best if you look at them all as ethno-Fascists (Fascists whose ideas are around ethnicity, rather than nationality like the more traditional Fascists) which is a pretty rare variant.

        Obviously Zionists aren’t the National Socialist Party of The German Worker.

        However they are ethno-Fascists, same as the NAZIs, hence sharing a lot of characteristics such as a race-centric discourse, extreme racist views and extreme sociopathic violence against those they see as “enemy races”, all of which explains to an extent why Zionists are so similar to NAZIs except in terms of which ethnicities they see as superior and which they see as “vermin”.

        Also both ideologies were born at around the same time and were even for a while allied, though NAZIsm was defangued and mainly destroyed after WWII, whilst Zionism was given their own nation and left to spread their racism for 3 generations, which further explains the similarities between NAZIsm and Zionism (especially in terms of the style of propaganda).

        This latter part also explains how Israel is a nation dominated by late 19th century white colonialism views who unironically see themselves as having “Western values”, whilst most of the West has actually significantly improved beyond such mindset since the 19th century and are nowhere as prone to things like mass murdering of civilians because of their ethnicity.

    1940’s: Nazi Germany is the most evil country, trying to exterminate the Jews.

    2020’s: Israel and the Jews are trying to exterminate multiple other groups.

    What’s the difference between Nazi Germany and Israel? They’re both evil fucks who deserves a slow and painful death.

    Edit: i was angry and not thinking about what I wrote.

      I take umbrage at this statement:

      2020’s: Israel and the Jews

      I hear what you’re saying and see the point you’re overall trying to make; but please rework it so you’re not lumping “The Jews” into the actions of Israel

      There are many Jewish people against the actions of Israel and abhor the thought of exterminating anyone/anything

      I do agree with your last statement. I had a gossamer support of Israel which has radically changed in recent years. I see the current actions of Israel as no different than their oppressors

          They allow a modicum of Arabs to become Israeli citizens and then claim they are being humanitarian.

          Just like Trump and his 3 black friends: Herman Cain (dead), Ben Carson and Clarence Thomas (would have loved Epstein Island).

      Both NAZIs and Zionists claim to represent an entire ethnicity.

      Both NAZIs and Zionists claim “their” ethnicity is inherently superior to others (“ubermenschen”, “God’s chosen people”)

      Both NAZIs and Zionists react to criticism of their actions by saying the critics are discriminating against the ethnicity they claim to represent (“against the Arian Race”, “anti-semitic”)

      Both NAZIs and Zionists openly call those belonging to the ethnicities they see as less than human “vermin”.

      Both NAZIs and Zionists mass murder those of the “vermin” ethnicity with such extreme sociopathic violence that they’ll actually directly and purposefully murder children as a standard practice.

      In both NAZI Germany and Zionist Israel it is common for roving bands of members of the dominant ethnicity to attack members of the “vermin” ethnicity whilst the police turns a blind eye or even activelly participates.

      Both NAZIs and Zionists openly state that they want to get rid of the “vermin” ethnicity, including both using the expression “Final solution for the [vermin ethnicity] problem” to describe their plan to do so.

      And don’t get me started on how the Propaganda techniques of both are incredibly similar and how if you grab most things said by Israeli politicians, replace “Jews” with “Arians” and “Muslims/Palestinians” with “Jews” you get something indistinguishable from NAZI statements.

      IMHO, the only real difference between NAZI Germany and Zionist Israel is which ethinicities they deem “ubermenschen” and which they deem “untermenschen” and the historical symbol they have chosen to represent the. This is probably why most politicians in Germany - a nation which was never fully denazified - “unwaveringly support” Israel.

      I wonder if the Palestinians will be doing their own genocide in the future, continuing the cycle. Happens throughout history. The Kurds used to do the fucking, now they’re getting fucked. Hutus and Tutsis. Serbs and Croats.

      It’s hard to stop the cycle, but it can be done. Colonial projects are not the way to do it.

    nearly 250 uses of white phosphorus by Israeli forces between October 2023 and November 2024

    It’s not a one off or a mistake.

    Beydoun said his findings suggested Israel’s military may be using white phosphorus “as a way to maybe start pushing people out” to create a “buffer zone” on the Lebanese side of the border.

    “It’s just a practical tool to use to burn fields, I think it’s mostly that,” he said. “It’s mostly for scorching the earth.”

    Yay let’s destroy nature so our zealots move in later

            so… you want everyone to be dropping white phosphorus on civilian populations? and you want everyone to torture kids and deprive people of basic human decency? cause those things are on the Geneva Convention list due to Canadians going above and beyond to be as brutal as possible. roughly 70% of the Geneva convention’s war crime list was created to stop Canadian military actions targeting civilians. (most of the rest of the list is thanks to Nazi Germany and America)
