And this is a country whose people have been fed heavily pro-Israel propaganda since the day they were born. What does the rest of the world think ?

I guess that's what happens when you're a piece of shit like Isreal seems to be.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Hey, that's not nice, the shit is insulted...

No but really, the Israeli government is absolutely the shit of shits.

Fascism is unpopular. 🙁

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sadly, i'm not so sure that is true these days

I has no sympathy towards the genocidal ideology of zionism.

But I'm definitely sympathic to people who are born in palestine and resist the ongoing genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc. That's brave regardless of their "religion" or lack thereof.

Still too high but it isn’t easy to undo decades of brainwashing

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Brainwashing or just nasty people?

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago

Extreme, overt brainwashing.

Brainwashing. Trying to understand the Palestine- Israel situation was something I casually worked at, off and on, for twelve years, which is 1000x more effort than most Americans put into it. I'd get about six hours into trying to untangle the propaganda and get what I felt was an accurate portrayal of the truth using what I felt were high factuality, unbiased sources and just get nowhere. I got as far as understanding that Israel is an authoritarian police/ethnostate, but I never had so clear of a picture of the situation as I do now. Israel has removed all doubt for me that they're proudly undertaking a project of genocide.

Yeah we broke the majority last year

The zionist nazi state has no right to exist. Just like nazi Germany had no right to exist. A state built on ethnic cleansing, stealing peoples land and their massacre is a state which should not exist.

So what are they going to do? This is what happens when you prop up & support ethno religious states. Don't want it then stop supporting Israel's existence.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

The problem isn’t that Israel is an ethno-religious state, it’s that it’s a genocidal, apartheid, settler-colonial state imposing itself on someone else’s land, and it’s trying to ethnically cleanse that land of its indigenous peoples, and it’s trying to expand its territory into a “Greater Israel,” extending its project of ethnic cleansing ever wider.

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Orrrrr, now hear me out, we ratchet up the propaganda, black listing, and police responses to protests. Eh?
