So a blanket ban of any books that acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people and banning a single Disney movie for having a war criminal lead actress are exactly the same thing to you? You really can't tell the difference?
she is one of the strongest supporters of the Wehrmacht and their ongoing genocide, even after enthusiastically serving in it
also I've heard she's an awful actor (not that I would know, I don't watch capeshit). She's bombed box offices across the planet
So, in answer to my question, she wasn't.
Was Adolf Hitler convicted for the Holocaust?
Were slave owners in the US convicted for crimes against humanity?
If they weren't, then I am powerless to do anything but defend their innocence. I am very smart.
Okay then, what criteria should I use for determing if someone committed a war crime? I assume the floor is considerably lower, unless you think compulsory service puts her on the level of Hitler.
Maybe consider whether or not they have served in a military that's been a genocidal occupation force since its inception?
I said nothing of the sort you disingenuous fucking worm. Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing and nobody but you is claiming this. Participating in a genocidal military makes you a war criminal. That's it. It has nothing to do with anyone's religious views, and your constant insistence to the contrary is a shining example of the very antisemitism you are trying to accuse everyone else of.
I didn't claim they were the same you ignoramus.
Every Jew in Israel has to serve in the IDF. According to you, that makes them war criminals.
No, I realize you have a hard time following a straight line, but the natural continuation of this, is you saying every Jew in Israel is a war criminal. Which most people would find antisemitic.
That's literally all you've been doing.
Us: Zionism is bad, actually.
You, every time: Oh so you hate Jews?
It's not actually mandatory - out of the 4 Jewish Israelis I've volunteered with only 1 had served in the IDF, the other 3 found nonmilitary ways to complete their national service, doing things like teaching instead. Not all Jewish Israelis are war criminals. Not all Jewish Israelis even support the existence of the state of Israel.
Do you think Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal? What about Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
Yes. No. No.
Okay so you agree that you don't need to be convicted of war crimes to be called a war criminal?
Yes, but you have still failed to say what should be the basis.
We've told you multiple times in multiple comments. Have you tried reading them?
God shut the fuck up already. You're such a lying little worm.
