In this war the Israelis/IDF are the Nazis in control of Palestine from the outside, and Hamas are the Nazis in control inside Palestine. Palestinians are victims (not necessarily entirely innocent), but also not really given another option either. Palestinians are largely controlled by Hamas and everything is controlled by Israel, and both see Palestinians as pawns and human shields/targets.

For the sake of discussion, I’ll ignore the fact that even if the Palestinian neighbours knew about the hostages and went to the IDF, they’d probably be tortured/killed just in case. So choosing not to alert the IDF isn’t necessarily support for Hamas, and could very well be an aversion to the IDF bombing and executing the shit out of your neighbours.

The best way to survive is being invisible, and I wouldn’t blame someone for wanting to be invisible when the city they live in is a cage/prison that is being bombed to hell and both armies are very happy to kill Palestinians.

The best way to tell if it’s a false flag operation is to see how much this event will be spread in the Russian media.

They’ve lost tons of equipment and had bombings deep in Russian territory, mostly affecting their oil production which could be perceived locally as Russian military inferiority.

So when this starts being on blast for every channel and frequency - you can be sure it’s a false flag.

If they bury this like any other Russian military failing, then it’s probably real.

Edit: ISIS claims responsibility, but Russia is still trying to blame Ukraine, which is kind of a false flag?

I have no problems with anyone who doesn’t force or coerce their beliefs on anyone else

Regardless of your personal actions or beliefs, you are being lumped in with extremists. If that confuses you because you personally feel innocent, there is an expression that goes something like

“If there are 9 people at a table and a Nazi sits and eats with them, there are 10 Nazis as the table.”

Tolerating or being indifferent to abhorrent behaviour is the same as rewarding/endorsing abhorrent behaviour.

As for the definition of evangelicals, there’s the literal definition

“Evangelicalism (/ˌiːvænˈdʒɛlɪkəlɪzəm, ˌɛvæn-, -ən-/), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity that emphasizes the centrality of sharing the “good news” of Christianity, being “born again” in which an individual experiences personal conversion, as authoritatively guided by the Bible, God’s revelation to humanity.[1][2][3][4][5] The word evangelical comes from the Greek word for “good news” (euangelion).[6]”

And then there is the applied practice of evangelicals who spend considerable wealth influencing politics to turn America (and the world) into a theocratic state with the goal of converting everyone and doing away with anyone who resists their goals.

They are uncompromising because they believe they act on God’s will giving them unquestionable holy authority to act as they see fit as long as it pushes their narrative and goals.

It’s not my job to educate you on your own religion, if you’re lost as to why anyone would despise evangelicals even though “they’re not all like that” that is up to you to reconcile.

There might be a subtle difference between a front lines Nazi and Hitler on the ‘innocence scale’ if you want to split hairs, but to everyone outside that group, a Nazi is a Nazi (who were all essentially evangelicals as well, surprise surprises)

if you don’t believe me, here’s something to read since you like proof/evidence so much, but I doubt you’ll ever challenge your own beliefs.

You can absolutely explain the ending.

It’s just that you will also be wrong

That’s because it is the closest thing to fascism. Especially when religion bleeds into politics.

Don’t be shocked that your faith of complete, uncompromising, control of human behaviour based on a collective, personal conclusion that you have all the answers to everything is perceived for what it is.

Believe whatever you want in your own head, and live your life according to whatever belief system you want. The second you try to extend the control you place on yourself to anyone else is the line between faith and fascism

If you don’t believe in abortions? Fine.

If you believe others should follow your example? Fine.

If you force others to follow your idealogies through control of legal/political systems? not fine

Y’all never seem to understand, nobody cares what you do as long as you keep self imposed control to yourself. But apparently the whole point is to “spread the love” through non-optional participation, which is what makes you so dangerous.

If your faith really was all that goodness you claim, people would actually want to join! But they don’t. So you force them. Jesus would be so proud ❤️

Totally fair point - there’s more than one type of Christian and not everyone in the faith has homogeneous opinions or actions.

Unfortunately (fortunately?) for your faith - the ones steering the ship politically are hyper right wing convert /submit or die types.

Until Christian denominations meaningfully split or works against the goals from evangelicals/Christian nationalists, you’re effectively sitting at the same table and will be judged accordingly.

I’m pretty sure religious groups think every other group is as focused and dedicated to conversation as they are.

If they were left alone in a room with a child (or anyone really), their immediate action would be to determine how Christian the child is, test and ensure their faith is all consuming, or immediately begin the conversion process if they aren’t already their personal brand of Christian.

They assume this is absolutely normal, expected behaviour. so any group that is different from them, must be doing the exact same thing, but with other idealogies.

Like how they hate Islam and Sharia law while endorsing 99% of Sharia law practices under a different name. Or they think every gay person has a gay agenda and needs to make every child gay because religion knows children are the easiest to manipulate.

They are obsessed with someone else being a groomer while being the most organized and dedicated groomers on the planet.

From google

The bill raises the threshold for which the executive branch can approve an arms sale of major defense equipment without congressional notification from $14 million to $23 million

So assuming they maxed it out and only did exactly 100 transactions, that’s 2.3 billion going to IDF

23,000,000 * 100 = 2,300,000,000

Hopefully the white house is doing this for Ukraine 10fold and running a circuit around the current Russian-American Congress

I received one for a dormant account, but am Canadian so I couldn’t use their IPO insider advantage even if I wanted to

Makes me think this thing is gonna Drill immediately after launch, take everyone’s lunch, and eventually rebound (or get bought by Meta/Alphabet/Microsoft/Apple on the cheap)

Why is this meme written in Cumfont

If you haven’t tried the Enzyme supplement Fodzyme I can’t recommend it enough.

Ever since I started using it I can (mostly) freely eat foods with garlic and onions as well as a host of other things.

It doesn’t work on everything, but I have been ordering it since April and I am no longer reading every label on everything to avoid being sick.

Everyone is different so there’s no guarantees on what will work for you, but I’ve been telling everyone about it (mostly because people always ask what I’m sprinkling on nearly everything I eat).

I get the brown jar because the individual pouches are a rip off, but it’s less of an investment if you want to try!

Garlic and onions do that to me anyhow, my resonance frequency is garlic and onions.

Dairy too, but it’s not a vegetable. Thank God for lactose pills and fodzyme

Hello Skynet!

Yeah, but at least it’s not government run media /s

I’m in Canada and I find the reporting of CBC and TVO to be fairly good - and I can only imagine the news landscape when all news is 100% privately corpo owned

Not to say either are beyond reproach when it comes to powerful special interests, but that only goes to show that monopolies are terrible and have unreasonable leverage and not some nihilistic comment on the nature of man or whatever.

Is it TorrentGalaxy.to?

I’m clearly not understanding this platform as well as I thought, I should probably watch a video or something!

The memes and boobs are great, but I’d love to get more reliable news and local information, seems like every Canadian one dies or is unpopular (fair enough given the limited user base which is still kind of nice)

And the news + politics seems to crash, but that’s because I’m still using .World …I think?

Reddit is fun croaked for me last week, now I’m all Lemmy!

Unless lemmy crashes, then I lurk reddit signed out with browser.

As the crashes and maintenance here become less frequent and the platform is more reliable I’m ready to leave reddit in the dust entirely

This meme is close, but you are only supposed to throw up the danger close warning after they are firmly within range to ensure maximum effectiveness
