      If someone uses your name to justify cruelty, no matter how insignificant the person may be, it’s always worth speaking up.

      People could also take the Museum’s silence on the matter as affirmation.

    Dude did not understand the assignment. Auschwitz wasn’t made as a memorial. It was made by the Nazis and turned into a memorial later.

    To create a new Auschwitz in Gaza as a demonstration of Israeli power is not to create a museum. Well it might be, but it won’t be a museum to Israeli power anymore than Auschwitz is one to German power.

    “terrorism can never be a response to terrorism.”

    Great words, but israel is proving them false.

    Here’s what everyone should be worried about given this talk:

    Israel has nuclear weapons, and the U.S. has worked hard to ensure opposing countries like Iran would not be able to have them.

    And now Israel’s government is under the thumb of a bunch of genocidal maniacs who don’t give a shit about anything.

    I’m thinking we all ought to invest in civil defense, or have some kind of plan B.

      Which is hilarious because for decades the party line has been to not allow the Iranians because they’re not rational. They still aren’t but neither is Israel.

      He’s a fucking nutjob, but if Putin and his boy in NK aren’t pushing the button, I’d wager you don’t need to spend all your energy on this facet of what’s happening.

          Not going to tell you how to feel. Just that with all the likely terrible shit in front of us, you can focus your existential dread somewhere more concrete like water wars, trump 2, you know, something casual lol

    yeah yeah idf bad…we all know. but why support gaza…a place with no gay marriage, hardly any women rights, patriachy…overall shit position. the main misunderstanding seems that just because idf is shit, there is absolutely no reason to support gaza. egypt and other muslim “friends” dont do it but the west off all is supposed to root for gaza?!? cant wrap my head around that type of thinking. and wasnt it the arab league that ON DAY ONE of existance of israel held a meeting and made the decision to kill them all? “fRoM zEh rIva2 zeH sEa” is retarded.

      This is your brain on identity politics.

      You can disagree with people’s views on issues but defend their right to self determination and…idk, being against them being wiped out? Especially because Gaza is almost half children.

      It’s not a team sport. And the day one war was because Israel declared both Independence and that Palestinians would leave or die. Which is what happens when extremists who have been committing acts of terror create a government.

          Their homes. It was a colony, not Liverpool. And again, it’s not a team sport. The 20,000 dead civilians are not Hamas.

      Women are being oppressed, so let’s wipe them all out, including the women?

      What the fuxk is wrong with you? No one is supporting Gaza or hamas, when they say there is disproportionate amount of civilian deaths happening in this war with International support.

      It’s not so much a dislike of Israel as it is a dislike of a government hiding behind false accusations of racism in order to further their own shitty agenda.

      I am friends with Israeli jews, I am friends with Muslims, I would love to visit Russia someday as a tourist, and I am proud to live in the part of America where I currently reside. Thay said, I don’t like the actions of the IDF, I don’t like what Hamas stands for, I don’t like the actions of the Russian government, I don’t like the actions of the US Government.

      But if that’s the route you want to take, you really don’t like Palestine, huh?

      Pretty much any entity/person standing behind israel’s actions right now is on the wrong side of humanity.
