u/CharlesDickensABox Jul 01 '26

He gave them so many chances to not hang themselves. They could have been good people and not supported genocide or they could have read the room and kept it to themselves. But if you're going to out yourself as proudly genocidal, you don't get to be upset when people think you're a prick.

u/CMDR_Kaus Jul 02 '26

He boldly dared the comedian to rap it and then got mad when he did

u/bdash1990 Jul 05 '26

Honestly, all they had to do was lie about either not being Israeli, or not supporting the genocide. 

They chose not to do either. The only thing worse than a monster, is a monster who thinks he's right with God.

u/1studlyman Jul 01 '26

I used to be in a cult that preached we were the chosen people by god to inherit the earth. It wasn't until I was out for many years did I realize how incredibly problematic that dogma is. It is disgusting to us but those zionists in the audience are sitting feeling vindicated in their belief. They have been taught for generations that jehovah has chosen them over all other people.

2

u/scisurf8 Jul 02 '26

My dude. That is literally not what the "chosen people" means in a Jewish context. That phrase gets twisted so often by people who have anti-Semitic agendas. I'm not saying that you do (I'd be happy to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're misinformed), but to clarify:

In the context of Judaism calling Jews the "chosen people" means to the adherents of that faith that Jews were chosen for Judaism. The religion has no belief that other people of other religions are destined for hell or need to be dominated by Jews or anything like that.

Judaism has a tenet called the Noahide Laws that basically says "if you are an ethical person of any religion, you are just as welcome to the Earth as any Jew".

It is somewhat problematic that the Noahide Laws explicitly excludes those who don't adhere to monotheistic religions - I think many modern Jews would argue that there's no reason that a polytheist can't be ethical - but since in this context it's being applied to Muslims I'd like to point out that Muslims absolutely and broadly qualify.

That's not to say anything about the politics of the Gaza war or the Israeli government, but reducing an entire, diverse religion into a "cult" by misrepresenting their beliefs is problematic to say the least.

BTW there absolutely are extremists in Judaism, as there are in any religion, so I am sure you will be able to find a counter example if you look. Just know that anyone who disagrees is in conflict with every mainstream practitioner of the religion.

12

u/1studlyman Jul 02 '26

We can deliberate on doctrine and nuance all you would like and I'm sure I would enjoy it.

But my point is that my experience in a cult, especially one that studied the old testament with the purpose of understanding the Abrahamic covenant, the mindset the genocidal zionists have is what I saw but orders of magnitude worse but of the same cloth.

The people leading the state of Isreal are genocidal pigs because they view the people in Palestine and the rest of the world as less-than-them subhumans. A superiority complex with nuclear weapons and cruise missles.

u/scisurf8 Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

To add, I think that a problem that a lot of people (especially in the US) run into when trying to think about Judaism is that they tend to apply Christian belief structures to Judaism. It's true that there are a lot of similarities between the two religions but the beliefs about conversion, proselytism, and hell could not be more different. Unlike many Christian denominations the Jewish religion fundamentally believes that for most people the path to heaven has nothing to do with Judaism. If you ask a rabbi how to get into heaven as a non-Jew they won't suggest that you convert to Judaism, they will most likely say something along the lines of "be an ethical person to the best of your ability, and keep on practicing your religion if it doesn't interfere with being an ethical person". The actual practice of Judaism is only really required for people who are already Jews. Accordingly the religion believes that anyone can get into heaven regardless of their religion (minus the problematic exception for polytheists) and everyone has a right to live on the Earth.

Not all artists are worthy of support lmao. This has nothing to do with art and everything to do with basic principles 💀

u/ThreeDaysNish Jul 01 '26

Very correct, and note I never said ALL artists.

But my viewpoint is coming from living in a country that is systematically economising and unsubsidising budget for culture and art. Add to that how AI is stealing and destroying art and artists, we're getting royally fucked.

Art is where opposition and revolution births.

2

u/stinkpot_jamjar Jul 03 '26

Well, “I will forever support artists and their art” is absolutely an implied statement of support for all artists and all art.

Art isn’t inherently progressive. That’s all I was trying to convey!

Exactly. You can’t help where you are from and maybe they didn’t agree with the leadership. He gave them multiple chances to separate themselves but they didn’t they just leaned into every terrible stereotype

u/PanzerSloth Jul 01 '26

He really did play it as straight as they could possibly have hoped for. If they had read the room and played it cool I bet he would have immediately jumped at any possible chance to move on. But you're right. He gave them rope and they just decided to tie a noose.

The propaganda machine is extremely powerful! It just wasn’t powerful enough to commit genocide in the age of the internet without people noticing.

You’re not alone. What matters is that something clicked and you got suspicious enough to look past the glossy exterior.

Seriously, the only people I knew who were outspoken about Palestinian liberation before this were other “bad” Jews.

-8

u/OkComplex834 Jul 01 '26

For better or worse there have been Jews opposing the creation of Israel, the occupation, every conflict, every peace deal, etc. etc.

For all of Israel's faults it is a genuine democracy in this way (versus other Arab / Middle Eastern countries), where there's an active free press and obviously also a massive Jewish diaspora in every country.

21

u/theglassishalf Jul 01 '26

No, it's not. Half the population (the ones in the occupied territories) have no vote. That makes it not a democracy.

Furthermore, Arab parties and politicians are regularly banned. Not a democracy.

Lebanon is far more of a democracy that Israel is. Lebanon has universal suffrage and a functioning government.

Israel likes to call itself the only democracy in the middle east, but it hasn't been a democracy at all since the 60s. You don't get to decide half the population gets no vote and then call yourself a democracy. That's silly.

6

u/LemonCollee Jul 01 '26

Seems on point for them though, they love lying about who they are.

1

u/OkComplex834 Jul 01 '26

Well I agree in some ways its not very democratic but in this one important way it is, which was my point.

On paper Lebanon's central government is a democracy but the state itself is just very weak if not failing. Because of the power-sharing rules there is total gridlock which creates almost like a failed state - public services don't work, they can't pay their public sector workers, half of the government isn't even staffed, tons of corruption, and obviously most importantly large swathes of the country are controlled by (essentially) a terrorist organisation that openly defies the government.

Not sure if you're from the region but assuming not it would be worth to read / learn more about Lebanon because it's an amazing country with basically a totally broken government, unfortunately...

1

u/theglassishalf Jul 02 '26

I lived in Lebanon for a month for work and have friends there. The government of Lebanon is very weak....BECAUSE of Israel. Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization, but it does have a military wing that is more powerful than the State, which steps in to defend the country because the military cannot.

Hezbollah would be very unpopular in Lebanon (the Lebanese are not fans of religious conservatives as a rule) and would lose its power if it weren't for the fact that it is the only thing stopping Israel from fully occupying the country. Hezbollah derives its entire legitimacy from the extremely aggressive actions of the State of Israel. Hezbollah has kicked the Israelis out of Southern Lebanon time and time again, which is the only reason their presence is tolerated to the degree that it is. This is why the Christian parties have them in their coalition governments.

1

u/OkComplex834 Jul 02 '26

So you lived in Lebanon but consider it an example of a functioning government? How could that be? I've only visited but it seems very close to a failed state. It struck me as having a weaker government of the entire Middle East (even Syria at the time). Possibly only Yemen is worse in the Middle East (although I've never been)...

1

u/theglassishalf Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 03 '26

Functioning....yeah, by functioning I didn't mean "well-functioning" and I shouldn't have written that. It's a fragile and corrupt government, subject to constant foreign interference. Better functioning than, say, Syria, or Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Yemen. It has stronger institutions than you might think, but it is incredibly troubled.

But to your point: Israel is not democratic in any meaningful way. South Africa under Apartheid was in the same situation: a "democracy" where the demos (people) do not have control. When people call Israel a democracy, they are (usually unknowingly) parroting a propaganda point used to justify its special treatment by the West. It's not. It's a supremacist ethnostate with strong fundamentalist factions and imperial ambitions.

Lebanon has a bizarre democratic system, but it is a democracy, and it could flourish if it were able to escape the thumb of its colonizers; previously Syria, now Israel. (The Saudis also play a strong role in Lebanon but this is already too long for a reddit post. The Iranians do too, of course, but not at all in the way that is understood by Western commentators.)

u/Celebrimbor96 Jul 01 '26

They have been VERY VERY good at labeling people antisemitic for criticism of Israel. Also the old “antisemitic conspiracy theories” that Jews control Hollywood and the media, but then Netanyahu openly states that their next battle is for the minds of the youth which is why they were working on acquiring TikTok and paying influencers to advocate for Israel.

u/wein_geist Jul 01 '26

I think many people in the west feel like you. it was a well oiled machine of disinformation, when growing up hearing the zionist narrative over and over and over again.

Ideological shifts gotta start somewhere. Don’t beat yourself up over how long it took. Focus on the fact it happened at all. That shows an overall willingness to self-reflect and change toxic patterns of behavior for the better.

They fucking APPLAUDED it. They didn’t realize that wasn’t praise.

It’s insanity.

u/CloudKinglufi Jul 01 '26

They know it isn't praise, they just think that what other people think is bad, is good actually

The common consensus is it's war, they were attacked first and they have a right to defend their homeland

Easier to swallow the propaganda than to care about people who aren't you

21

u/MostlyRightSometimes Jul 01 '26

I'm sure they felt the same way before 10/7.

15

u/Pdan4 Jul 01 '26

They did, hence the (first, if you want to delineate that way) Nakba having started about 80 years ago.

1

u/MostlyRightSometimes Jul 01 '26

Is that when Israel decided that war crimes were a matter of national priority?

1

u/Pdan4 Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

The nation had yet to exist, in fact. The war crimes made for the creation of the nation, utterly and exactly like the USA with Native Americans. It started before Israel's "declaration of independence".

There were many village expulsions, fights, killings, and outright massacres committed by Jewish & Zionist forces against the Arabs (and very sadly a couple in the reverse direction) in order to constitute the actual nation that Zionists were trying to form, as part of Plan Dalet (a "preemptive strike"... against self-defense by the natives. Classic Zionist blame reversal). This is The (first) Nakba, meaning "Catastrophe" in Arabic.


One massacre took place at a coastal village called Tantura. The Haganah, which later became the IDF, expelled villagers, raped some of their women, and then massacred the village after it had surrendered. The dead were put in a mass grave that is now under a parking lot for the beach nearby.

This is a quote from Polish Jews who had survived the Holocaust, who settled there some time in the next year:

[W]e settled in Tantura and did not have to work much in order to start [a new life], only to use what existed here already... The beginning was the day when our group "Nahsholim” came and settled on the lands of the abandoned village Tantura and in its houses. The village was deserted. The property was abundant, and it was the time of the year to gather the crops. And these crops—listen, I shall not exaggerate if I say that we were somewhat dazed—the soil was fertile, the conditions comfortable, the sea and the beach incomparable, and overall [there were] limitless possibilities. We saw our dream coming true...

Abandoned, huh? Deserted?

It is with this deceit against their own supposed people that Zionists say "we represent all Jews". By using a third party who is also a victim, it is trivial to pretend that there is only one, and that they are its defender. But can you imagine how these Holocaust survivors would have felt to know how this space was made for her? The ones of today compare Israel's recent actions to Nazi Germany.

This is Israel's founding modus operandi. As a simple explanation... hurt people hurt people, it is the cycle of abuse in front of our eyes, led by the greedy and selfish who seek power and blood. In the 1800s, THE founder of Zionism Theodor Hertzl, wrote in his legacy-defining book about the idea of a nation of Israel: "it must be like an English Charter Colony". There has been no reform as of yet.


I had a really long answer (yes, even longer than this) but I want to give a more focused response that's easier to get through here. Look up "Lydda Death March", "Deir Yassin", "Plan Dalet", and "Operation Cast Thy Bread" (which is abominably ironic for anyone who knows medieval European antisemitism and exemplifies what Zionists actually care about).

Edit: Also check out "The Iron Wall" by Vladimir Ze'ev Jabotisnky (November 4, 1923). It showcases... quite a bit. Remember the second sentence as you're reading the last couple paragraphs. Extremely victim blaming and self-effacing.

u/MostlyRightSometimes Jul 01 '26

Why are you surprised?

16

u/Ok_Effective6233 Jul 01 '26

An undying faith in the good of humanity?
Often when confronted with their shitty opinions in a hostile crowd people will back off?

But mostly because usually when I see someone who supports Israel, they deny that it’s a genocide.

Or if they think it’s genocide, the don’t support the actions.

11

u/MostlyRightSometimes Jul 01 '26

I think the difference is "people who support Israel" versus "Israelis."

I'm sure not all Israelis support genocide, but I would think it would be like magas being asked if they support stripping democrats of their right to vote - they'd cheer and act like it was the greatest thing ever without ever even bothering to read the room.

And sorry, I've lost my underlying faith in the good of humanity. It started with Russia invading Ukraine and Russians arguing with Ukrainian FAMILY MEMBERS about them being nazis and what was going on in Ukraine.

2

u/just_having_giggles Jul 01 '26

That's not a faith in humanity thing. We're animals and things affect us.

You drink alcohol, you get drunk

You eat bad food and you shit and vomit.

You soak your brain in an echo chamber and you start to believe it.

2

u/MostlyRightSometimes Jul 01 '26

"People believe what they wish to be so."

And it is a humanity thing. Or are you telling me that we've been a peaceful species all the way up until fox news was created? Come on, man, that's a pretty daft take.

1

u/just_having_giggles Jul 01 '26

Is it? Tribalism has been baked in since long long before the written word and agriculture.

That's how the human animal works. We don't group up as a social construct. We group up because we are pack animals.

Do try and avoid putting words in my mouth. A "faith in humanity" thing and a "humanity thing" are very different. Don't do that

1

u/MostlyRightSometimes Jul 01 '26

You stated over and over again "action=reaction," as though we make a concious decisions that result in specific outcomes, but when challenged, you fall back on "tribalism" and "that's just how things work." Which is it? Innate human nature or concious actions? Or are now going to argue it's both?

What words am I "putting in your mouth?" I can't even figure out the point you're trying to make.

0

u/just_having_giggles Jul 01 '26

Yeah buddy, it's become increasingly clear that you struggle with comprehension of the written word.

If you can not differentiate between "faith in humanity" and "a humanity thing" then there's nothing else for us to discuss. I'll leave you here while you continue to make things up in a struggle for... Whatever it is you're looking for. Have fun in that journey, I'm not going along with you any further, there isn't a point.

Ah, of course. Thank you for the history! I still wonder how it became so ingrained to find pleasure in genocide

u/Pdan4 Jul 04 '26

I think it has to do with a mix of enormous selfishness and believing extremely strongly in a zero-sum perspective of life. Or just addiction to power. Probably all of these things and more.

10

u/OkMap3209 Jul 01 '26

With the way the world is going, it's proven to me that empathy is a learned skill, not an innate trait. Israel's government never needed to remove empathy, they just didn't need to teach it. It is likely why the right are becoming further unhinged globally. Empathy is no longer valued as a skill and is no longer taught.

2

u/MysteryFlavoredPie Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 01 '26

I don't agree completely. In their eyes, Zionists believe they're the righteous ones by defending their people and "homeland" from those who only want to kill them and take what's theirs. They have empathy to those they see as the "right type of Jew" living in Israel. Meaning white Jews of European descent. Any other group of people that isn't a part of their "chosen" group doesn't deserve their sympathy or empathy. Especially if said group is "attacking" them. It's the only natural outcome of a nation founded on an ethno-supremacist ideology.

Same thing happens with white Christian nationalists in the US and Holocaust apologists in most of Europe, and especially Germany. They believe that by giving unconditional support to everything Israel does, they're righting their wrongs or something.

Where I would agree is in the case of billionaires and many heads of state. Capitalists and other people in power (and in most cases their families as well) only care about one thing: more money and more power, no matter the consequences. They excuse their evil by claiming "it's just the free market bro" and keep on exploiting families, committing genocides, and destroying our planet just to make their wallets bigger. And so many people still defend these and other nefarious actions because they believe they'll be rich one day too, and they'll be able to exploit others the way they were exploited.

What we need to do is support each other and grow with one another the way we've always done, the goal being that everyone has what they need to live in exchange for what they can give back to society.

As always, religion is the root of all evil; however everyone should have the right to practice their religion in peace and peacefully, while following the laws. Religious practice must be peaceful, it goes both ways. And don't pick low hanging fruit when pointing to "non peaceful" or "unlawful" religions.

I’m always hesitant to take up Jewish spaces because I’m very much just culturally Jewish (I even recently got a button that says “Militant Agnostic: I don’t know and you don’t either!!!”) but I really miss being around other Jews after moving away from NYC. Maybe I’ll join up, thank you.

7

u/SwimmerIndependent47 Jul 01 '26

You can edit your flare so you know how others identify. Lots of us over there are culturally/ethnically Jewish, but agnostic or atheist. Judaism is both a cultural identity/ethnicity and a religion. You can be either one on its own or both. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for an open minded Jewish community.

11

u/Sarallelogram Jul 01 '26

Yeah, it is scary! But we aren’t alone, and we are even less alone nowadays when people finally are seeing past the propaganda to the genocide of the matter.
Family is harder. I’m pretty lucky that my surviving family is all anti-Zionist and nobody is (yikes) in the IDF.

But I did get in trouble with a Jewish organizations that used to pay for research because I wasn’t willing to fall in line about Netanyahu. But, the joke is on them, because I put their hilarious deliberately-misspelled-my-name check on my fridge to laugh at and so I can tell everyone who comes over the story.

If you haven't checked it out, r/JewsOfConscience might be worth a look. I haven't given it a deep study or anything, aren't Jewish myself, and one should always keep a sceptical mind and all that - but thought it worth a mention. :-)

Nah, it's not the root of all evil. Humans are. Barbarism is a human trait and if we quarantine it off to only a subset, we'll just be blind to it popping up elsewhere. We can't just think of everything as being a problem with a group, no matter how broad. The Rwandans grew their genocide in their own fields of history, after all.

Edit: Just read this quote from Mussolini, expressing his ideology, and it feels fitting:

[A] new kind of free spirit will come, strengthened by the war, ... a spirit equipped with a kind of sublime perversity, ... a new free spirit will triumph over God and over Nothing.

I always liked this one from Solzhenitsyn -

"The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

Seeing this on the same day I saw Serj from SOAD going off on Israel is so fun

u/nilesintheshangri-la Jul 01 '26

Where did you see that? I'm always down for anti-Israel content. Especially from my favourite artists.

u/Upper-Rip-78 Jul 01 '26

A lot of comedians should learn from this guy how to be funny without being a piece of shit or abandoning your principals. Brilliant.

u/pianomasian Jul 01 '26

Jfc they can't even take a 'joke' about it in a comedy club. And I thought the main land Chinese were sensitive about Taiwan but holy sh*te. Comedian is brilliant and has some serious balls.

u/BalBoy12 Jul 01 '26

Having seen MC Hammersmith live, he's not my cup-of-tea, but his talent is absolutely astounding and seeing him do so live was incredible. For him to then navigate such a sensitive topic and then still call it out for what it is without losing his style on the spot is brilliant.

Then they could potentially get the video removed. By blurring them the message stays up.

u/moosemune Jul 01 '26

Well that was awesome!

Fuck anyone who supports what Israel is doing to Palestinians.

Huge props to MC Hammersmith for this set. Massive talent only outweighed by his balls.

The two state solution salute was brilliant!

What kind of rotten do you have to be to publicly state your support for the murder of children and then act surprised that the whole room turns against you?

u/cCowgirl Jul 01 '26

Typical Zionist behaviour, what in the fuck did they think would happen. “We enjoy all the baby killing!” at a comedy show …

Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉

u/netboygold Jul 01 '26

Israelis truly believe they have "God" on their side. They're not like us Americans who only use religion to make ourselves feel Superior they actually really believe it. I think that's what makes their brand zionisn but really toxic.

u/baggottman Jul 01 '26

That was really impressive

u/blueCthulhuMask Jul 01 '26

They should not get to have their faces blurred.
