Or Israel can stop slaughtering civilians under its domination and instead grant basic civil and political rights to all the people under its domination. Why do Palestinians deserve any less?

That’s this user’s entire M.O.: make generally sensible points, and then make an overgeneralization with nothing to back it up other than his personal experiences.

I appreciate you responding.

Bibi’s “help Hamas to help Israel” strategy is well known. There’s no conspiracy or leaps in logic here. It’s been openly discussed in Israeli and Arab circles for years.

My sister and I were talking about the bombing of the refugee camp and I told her I thought Netanyahu knew the Hamas attack was coming at some point and did nothing so he’d have an excuse for the annihilation of Gaza, and she said she’d had the same thought.

I don’t understand why nuance is so hard for people here. Hamas can be totally wrong, and Israel’s response to Hamas can be totally wrong. Don’t know why so many people think they have to pick a side and pretend it’s all rosy.

Amy Schumer has been a shit person for awhile now but her reaction to all this puts her on a whole other level of asshole. Fuck her. 

Especially when they (mostly white politicians/political commentators) use King as a cudgel to hit black people with but ignore his lessons that apply to their own fucking life.

Since she’s so well versed in King’s words and legacy, I wonder how Amy missed his Letter From Birmingham Jail. Or literally anything he said about Vietnam.

Yep. I have no problem describing Hamas’s slaughter of 1,400 Israeli civilian, wounding of 5,400 more, as despicable barbarism. I’m confused about why I would describe Israel’s actions that have slaughtered twice as many children as anything other than despicable barbarism.  But I have this weird thing where I think…

Hey white people , if you could stop shoe-horning MLK into every fucking bad political take you have that’d be great, m’kay?

Schumer shared a (obviously old) video clip of Martin Luther King Jr.

Love to see Karen Schumer whitesplaining MLK to everyone.

100%. I will not be forgetting these celebrities who make it clear that they have zero issues with the deaths of thousands and thousands of Palestinians to “avenge” October 7. As a Jew myself, seeing the responses to genocide is just appalling. Seeing people still contort themselves after yesterday’s bombing of a…

When +8,300 people have been bombed to shit, most of them were civilians, half of them were children, and you’re rooting against a cease-fire, you’re the problem.

I’m tired of people asking “What would (beloved historical figure) do?” I think we should be able to decide these things for ourselves rather than relying on past heroes.

Yes, by the current standards of behavior of powerful men in Hollywood it may be. But remember the bar for these people is currently in hell. It’s great that he didn’t rape her repeatedly, but could we maybe aim a little higher? None of this behavior is OK in a respectful relationship of equals and maybe it’s a good…

If you have a two inch gap at the front of your boot you need to buy smaller boots... unless you’re wearing those medieval curly, pointy boots.

You should get smaller boots if you have “an inch or two” of extra room. That’s... absurd.

Anyone who’s seen a little kid wearing their Dad’s shoes recognizes Rob’s gait from the vid where he’s walking across the stage - his boots are several sizes too large for him, and he’s being super careful about where he puts his feet so he doesn’t trip.
