US Senator Lindsay Graham has just tweeted an article titled “Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade,” adding the comment, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”

Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”

There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.

I'm getting real tired of mods defending Nazis and suppressing any comments about how to defend against them.

Americans are fucking pussies.

It is illegal to call for violence online.

Except if you call for for the full mass murder of two million brown people including 1 million children. That is totally normal and accepted in Western society. And the murder of Greta Thunberg of course.

The poors don't matter, their lives don't matter, the poor browns might as well be cockroaches.

But wouldn't you think of the humanity of the healthcare CEO, their friends, family and loved ones? All life is precious??

Boycott .world by getting an account on a different instance. They dont deserve the popularity they have.

The politics mod on that community was accusing people of being Nazis, when your pointing out Jewish donors were behind censorships at universities, and well known actors like Seinfeld and his wife was funding those efforts

They removed anything calling out Gaza, calling anyone who is anti-genocide a useful idiot, and why everything bad has happened in America/the world.

They are okay with murder if it gets them what they want. .world is zionist to the core.

This shithole site is run by brown shirt sympathizers.

Get out while you can - Lemmy seems a good alternative.

Yeah, I noticed, just gonna wallow in my fuckup. Thanks anyway tho.

As opposed to the sligtly lighter brown shirts preceding them.

The US beacon of pseudo-left Bernie the Sheepdog can't not start a sentence with 'Israel has the right to defend itself!' , yet can't get himself to pronounce the word genocide.

People were starting to see what he is and calling him out on it so he ramped up his discourse.
But yes exactly this gatekeeping POS.

Read the fucking transcript:

NO MENTION OF GENOCIDE

and OC at 7:44

  • "Clearly Israel as any other

country that was so attacked had the

right to defend itself against..." *

Thanks for proving me right.

Did you really just call Bernie a gatekeeping pos?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago

trouble with comprehensive reading?

And I can also mention he invariably talks about "the Netanyahu government".
He knows he will have to go eventually so his tactic is to put the blame solely on him.
Creating the ilusion that the apartheid state will be a beacon of democracy after him.
As if those monsters, whoever was in charge, haven't continually murdered the Palestinians and treated them brutally.
He sure is an underhanded SOB.
In true zionist fashion.

LOL these are facts.
How unhinged do you have to be to call that unhinged.
You are a typical zionist
