Dear Swifties:

The radical theocratic terrorists that targeted the Taylor Swift concert are functionally the same people that want to destroy Israel.

The ideology is the same. The willingness to kill civilians is the same. The goal is the same.

When you support Hamas, you’re supporting the same people that wanted to assassinate Taylor Swift and her fans.

@briannawu … do a lot of Swifties support Hamas??
@reverius42 @briannawu I think she means “condemn genocide in Palestine”, which is equivalent to “support Hamas” in her somewhat twisted world view.
@Colman @reverius42 it’s not a genocide, it’s just war.
@briannawu @reverius42 it’s genocide. One for which they’ve been laying groundwork for a long time. Fundamentalist ethnic/religious nationalists are all the same.
@Colman nope. Actually some of the lowest civilian death ratios for any urban conflict in history. And this is for a war they didn’t start.
Ah, yes, of course @briannawu trots out the "civilian death ratio" pro-genocide talking point, which is complete bullshit.
My comprehensive explanation of why is at https://federate.social/@jik/111995864737986616 . I wrote it more than five months ago based on easily accessible public information. There has been plenty of time for Brianna and her ilk to educate themselves if they actually wanted to.
I imagine she'll block me rather than engaging with the facts.

Apparently the newest pro #Israel propaganda talking point is, "The civilian to combatant death ratio in #Gaza is only 2:1, which is much better than the 9:1 ratio for modern urban warfare, so that proves Israel is being careful not to unnecessarily harm civilians, which proves that they're not committing #genocide." Everything about this is false. Let's walk through it step by step so you know how to respond (should you wish to) if you encounter it. 1/8
