    I don’t like this meme. Not because of the politics involved or anything, it just doesn’t make sense.

    I know it’s supposed to be a subversion of “They’re the same picture”, but now the conversation doesn’t work anymore.

    Corporate wants you to find the difference between the two pictures, not just confirm that they are indeed different. They know that.

    Reddit is just another Israeli propaganda hole pretending to be objective and fair. All those stereotypes of the “Jews are controlling the media” sure are not being dismissed with their handling of the latest crisis information coming out. At this point I give zero fucks for Israel or funding them anything, it’s not good seeing US arms destroying innocents, and that includes our shitty foreign policy on other nations. We need to stop acting like petulant angry chimps.

      “Jews are controlling the media”

      “The US bourgeoisie control the anglophone media and Israel is their aircraft carrier in the middle east”

      I hate how much people are able to channel antizionism into antisemitism, and how Israel actively encourages it.

    That’s probably exactly what happened.

    Anyway, I’m glad you reposted. This is a good point that people need to remember.

    I think because it suggests that there is such thing as Israeli Ethnostate. There is Israel, in which you have about 25% Arab citizens. Far from being ethnostate, the Arab citizens enjoy equal rights and protections from the state.

      Israel passed a controversial new “nation-state law” last week that’s sparking both celebration and fierce debate over the very nature of Israel itself.

      The law does three big things:

      It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people."

      It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”

      It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”

      Are you blatantly lying or are you just incredibly misinformed?

    I would like people making this difference with every nation and not just the one or two sainted ones.

      Palestine doesn’t even possess the sovereignty they would need to be an ethnostate . . .

      That doesn’t make a single bit of sense. Not all Jewish people are Israelis, in fact most of them are not. All Israelis are colonists and have the ability to leave to a different country at any time.

      In contrast Palestinians have nowhere else to go because they are a colonized people trying to live on land that is being stolen from them while being bombed and shot every day. Even before Oct. 7th this has been the case.

        Not all Isralis are colonists. There were people living there before the borders were drawn who were not forced to leave, those people and their descendants are native Isralis.
