Israel should wipe out Gaza and drag their dick in the sand on the way back to Jerusalem. Stop threatening everyone and be a man.

Why do you GAF? Why does it bother you? Sounds like you're the problem with you.



I didn't say it bothered me. I am genuinely curious at to why people are so quick to jump to the Israelis' defense. People tend to act like they have a dog in the hunt when they don't.

Read up on this history of Israel prior to WWI


Hebrews/Jews were pretty much shite on the entire time they were there. Seems like it’s no different now.

Senators and congressmen who hold dual citizenship with Israel



Pretty sure these are the typical "any Jew is a duel citizen due to right of return" memes/graphics that always go around. It even includes the "dual loyalty" trope spelled out.

The “I Support Israel” signs in white southerners yards are hilarious. America is Israel’s bitch.

Not saying Israel is a great ally to the US, but they are at least an ally. Extremist Muslims on the other hand are rabidly anti-American and pretty much hate everything about Western culture. Many want to kill us. Our enemies support Hamas. Seems pretty easy to pick a side as an American for me.

Also I think there is still a bond from WWII when the allies, including the US, basically freed multi-generations of Jews from captivity and death.

I don’t care one single bit about Israel, but the more Muslims they kill, the better
Wow. Do you know any Muslim people? Would you really wish death on say the employees of Albasha? I don’t usually give advice on here.... but seriously reconsider this ridiculous/vile shite.

It doesn't help when many consider any criticism of Israel as a nation to be anti-sematic.



I agree. Israel is far from perfect and deserves tons of criticism. Mossad isn't always a good actor, and they aren't great about their treatment of Palestinians, or Arab Muslims in general, but a lot of the woke memes are very much anti-Jew not anti-Israel.

During the late 70s early 80s a lot of tv evangical preachers sold the pro Israel stance for the CIA to southern Christians using end times scare tactic propaganda. If you have a parent that grew up in this era its heavily engrained.
Makes sense, a lot of evangelical boomers think you're bound for hell if question anything Israel related.

To answer your question, I know a number of Jewish people including extended family. I also have old friends that live in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem Isreal and are in the line of fire.

Why are you so against them Gazi?

We mutually agreed to let them fight and if Palestine doesn't like being bombed,they shouldn't launch bombs first.
so they should peacefully forfeit their land to zionists and go live in the streets?

I wasn't sure if you were being serious or not originally. Did you read any of the explanations (like mine)? Were you not convinced?

Christianity surrounded by Muslims
I know you are joking, but there are Evangelicals that believe a form of this.

The hilarious part is that Jews view Jesus they way we view David Koresh. A wacky cultist that convinced a small group of people he was the messiah.

Ok and that has exactly 0 to do with whats going on in Gaza. Unless he's an idiot and doesn't understand the difference between the 9/11 hijackers and Palestinians
