So my kid and buddy were chatting about how much hate there is at the catholic school compared to the public school. Even the kids even see the christofascism the adults deny, and are concerned enough to talk about it without prompts. The correlation between religion and hate is causal.

Trump says he will hit Canadian imports with a 35% tariff in major escalation of trade war

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that the U.S. would apply a 35% tariff to all imports from Canada beginning next month, reviving tensions with a major trade partner that had largely dissipated in recent weeks."Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs," Trump wrote in the letter shared on Truth Social.

Progressives waste time pretending our salvation is “messaging.” Our problem is that we have no way to distribute messages that can be heard above the near-ubiquity of MAGA media. 100,000 Substacks and TikToks are not a message delivery system. They’re a message diffusion system.

The difference between Gaza & Auschwitz is that the world still has an opportunity to stop the ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

@smlx4 no, like almost any comparison with auschwitz it’s just antisemitic to do this one, but why:

Auschwitz whole purpose became the annihilation of human (mostly yewish) life. Gaza is a war zone in which the blockade of food is heavily restricted by the IDF which leads to malnutrition of its inhabitants (in their military logic they try to establish their own non UN food distribution systems since UNRWA is embedded with Hamas and since they steal the aid and sell it to the gazan population etc.. It is an unrealistic and inhumane logic by the IDF, if you ask me, but as well it is the tactic of hamas to produce human suffering among the gazans to use their suffering as weapon against Israel).

There are many historic examples of populations on the brink of starvation because of war (that’s why war is a crime against humanity in itself). The Yemeni civil war comes to mind as a recent example (in which one side backed by the Saudis as well were strongly militarily equipped by the west). But than we couldn’t alter the past of Jewish suffering and its significance in todays world couldn’t we?

@Bl4ckst4r @smlx4 What’s going on in Gaza is getting rid of the troublesome Palestinians which by IDF definition is all Palestinians. There is a clear comparison between this and what the Jews’ experienced in WWII, is not fair to the Palestinians, and lets the IDF off the hook for the genocide claim. Was this your intent? The worst aspect of this is when the Jewish descendants of World War II Holocaust victims became the monsters that previously persecuted them.

@Huntn00 @Bl4ckst4r What happened at Auschwitz must never be forgotten or explained away. Israel’s goal is to destroy as many civilians as possible, with a focus on children, according to countless Israelis who’s spoken freely without the slightest shame or remorse. As long as the US & other nations turn a blind eye, Netanyahu & his assassins in the cabinet will get away with the genocide that’s taking place.

Marie 🇸🇪Jun 30

@Huntn00 @Bl4ckst4r The International Court of Justice in The Hague has also been involved, which has led to Netanyahu now facing potential legal consequences.
As a result, several countries have imposed travel bans on Netanyahu & other senior Israeli officials. They could be denied entry to countries that have expressed strong criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Travel & trade restrictions have also been discussed in various international forums.

@smlx4 @Huntn00 @Bl4ckst4r it just pisses me off the asshole fucking goes for the buzziest of fucking buzzwords not even 3 sentences in.

"Antisemitism" is not a word...its a weapon, a weapon to silence people that are calling out atrocities...

Bl4ckst4r Jul 1

@Noortjevee @smlx4 @Huntn00 sadly it isn't just a word, but a ideology that has killed millions and threatens millions to be killed and like almost all "-isms" in christian and muslim influenced societies it is sadly part of our collective unconscious (like racism and sexism) and needs activ reflection to get rid of.

But yes, as well the accusation of antisemitism has been utilised to turn down valid criticism against Israel, which is in itself antisemitic (meaning its mere utilisation).

Marie 🇸🇪Jun 30

@Huntn00 @Bl4ckst4r The worst thing is that in the meantime the slaughter continues unabated. And, who could have imagined that Jewish descendants of Holocaust victims would become the monsters & devils they have so clearly portrayed.

Bl4ckst4r Jul 1

@smlx4 @Huntn00 sadly there are many examples in history that being a victim of horros doesn't make you a better person per se, but sadly too, the biggest and broadest supporters of Netanjahu's "government" ("regime" rather) are coming from the sephardic jews of Israel not of the ashkenazic jews, so rather of those who were expelled from the arabic countries in the 40s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world), than of those who have fled before, during or after the Shoa from Europe.

@Bl4ckst4r @smlx4 its not antisimetic to compare people being deliberatly starved and then killed when food does arrive...

Bl4ckst4r Jul 1

@Noortjevee @smlx4 of course it isn't but it isn't happening in the same systematic logic and scale and therefore it isn't comparable. Or rather we can describe the hell of being in Gaza without the needless comparison with the Shoa

Noortje Van Leeuwen Jul 1

@Bl4ckst4r @smlx4

The comparison is not needles...

By saying it is you trivialize atrocities. Saying "its not as bad" when it is kinda worse....

Im done with your schtacko...bye bye...

Bl4ckst4r Jul 1

@Noortjevee @smlx4 🤷‍♂️

Just look at the BS that you have written, maybe then you realize that it's BS?

tbh is more likely that the ethnic cleansing comes for the us and the uk as well given the attitudes ...

Hugs4friends ♾🇺🇦 🇵🇸😷Jul 1

@smlx4 Auschwitz was probably 6 years, and the Allies (sort of) defeated Nazi Germany. Palestine has been 78 years, and the Allies have aided and abetted the ethnic cleansing - and genocide of - the true inhabitants of this ancient land, by the usurpers that they put in place.

@smlx4 the word “genocide” is stronger.
