The sooner the Islamic Regime in Tehran falls the better. The Iranian people deserve freedom.

I get reliably more accurate search results with Brave Search tbh. It has a neat little AI summariser tool you can disable, an option to pay $3 a month to go ad-free, it’s privacy-centric, clean design, browser-agnostic. Also, it uses its own indexer/web crawler, it doesn’t just piggyback on Bing like DuckDuckGo does.

The only time I end up using Google is if I’m looking into a very recent event, like a thing happening in the world that took place in the last 12-24 hours or so. Google seems to index news articles quicker than Brave.

Reddit kept the bootlickers and the lazy, Lemmy gained the anti-greed political left

sigh…

I miss some of the more casual subreddits, and somehow Lemmy is even more of an echo chamber than Reddit is, but otherwise yeah, Lemmy is fine. Especially with the Photon frontend.

Thanks, I hate it

What do you think ‘Zionist’ means?

Haviv Rettig Gur put it very accurately and concisely, if brutally, in a lecture he gave recently:

For Jews In the 21st century, you either learned English or Hebrew or you were killed.

As a Brit myself (English, Catholic, English as far back as Ancestry can tell etc.) I’m really ashamed of this country since October 7th. It’s as if we felt that we had been impervious to the very deep, ancient cancer of antisemitism due to WW2. And that seems to have left us even more defenceless than many other European states which have at least tried at points to contain this.

Per the article, they didn’t investigate all 350, the UN only investigated 19. Not really interested in that argument, though.

What do you mean when you say ‘Zionist’ about me? Specifically, what do you mean by that word?

Appalling but antisemitism is becoming increasingly mainstream in Europe unfortunately

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

What an objectively stupid thing to say. Saying the Holocaust didn’t happen is denial, not comparing it to other shit.

The arrogance and confidence with which people like you speak about antisemitism, despite having never learned anything about it or thought even a second about it in a critical way, is astounding.

You don’t understand Holocaust denialism or antisemitism and yet here you are proclaiming your moral righteousness!

You can always find fringe groups. It’s a bit pathetic to so openly signal that you know that’s what you’re doing. You’ve picked massively marginal, tiny and unimportant groups. It’s really embarrassing for you man. I mean, really? Boston Review? C’mon man, grow up.

How many Jewish groups share your opinion that the Jews alone, among all the peoples of the world, have no right to national self-determination?

And I swear to fucking God if you add a Naturei Karta link, a group of less than 2,000 members globally, you will have problems.

Just to be clear then:

Are you claiming that the Jewish governing party, made up of Jewish individuals, in the Jewish State (Israel) are incapable of holding back their bloodlust to slaughter non-Jewish children on the basis that they see them as lesser than Jewish children?

Take a moment. Think about it. Because we both know that this is in fact what you have been claiming. And maybe you want to walk that back, and self-reflect, and think whether maybe you’ve gone wrong at some point in your justifiable attempt to seek justice for oppressed peoples.

Did you mean to reply to my comment? Not sure how that’s relevant.

Anyway, you endorse a 1,500 year old antisemitic conspiracy theory, so I’m not sure why you think you deserve to be treated with respect or dignity.

I think we can all agree that the Jews and only the Jews have the right to determine what that phrase, which they coined, meant to them.

Everyone rational has always believed this.

By openly identifying your endorsement of an ancient and false antisemitic trope, you’ve invalidated your right to have any opinion about anything.

Bye.

Let me give you the full sentence:

“Never again will the Jewish people put their safety and security in the hands of non-Jews.”

Non-Jews were given a test with the Holocaust and we comprehensively failed.

From now on, the Jewish people will only ever trust themselves to protect them. Rightly so, in my view.

And yes, I do deny there’s a genocide in Gaza. If they wanted to just eradicate them then this war would have been over many months ago.
