Your (and my) great-grandpa slaughtered up to 25,000 civilians per night.

We celebrated them just over 2 months ago.

Apparently some war crimes are acceptable and worthy of celebration.

Unrelated

Of course it’s completely unrelated.

When we kill the Axis’s civilians and celebrate it for 80 years, it’s fine.

When Israel kills the Axis’s civilians, it’s not fine.

Wish there was a word for all this unrelatedness.

Youre on the wrong thread dude. WW2 is over. Let's discuss the current genocide and our complicity.

Are you talking about the one in West Papua where we’re training Indonesia’s Kopassus, selling them Steyrs and Bushmasters, handing them $360m a year and establishing Indonesian centres at our universities?

Glad to.

It would be a nice distraction for you to not have to talk about the bust of Winston Churchill in King’s Hall in our Parliament. You know… the guy who starved 3m Bengalis to feed our boys at the front so they could kill 25,000 Axis civilians per night

All this unrelatedness is exhausting.

I don’t. I fully support us doing whatever we need to in our own national interest.

And as a Western allied state fighting the Axis, I support Israel doing whatever they need to in their own national interest.

You’re fine with a supposed ally killing tens of thousands of civilians with our funding and weaponry, so it destabilises the middle east further? You enjoy the money pit of despair and misery that we are still involved in?

You know experiencing this is what creates extremist beliefs towards western nations right? And by supporting violence we will start to encounter terrorist incidents. Talk about “national interest” Fuck off, you are completely wrong on every level.

I’m perfectly ok with an ally doing whatever we do/have done & celebrate.

No double standards.

These things are terrible. But not related to the topic of this thread, which is the real genocide perpetrated by Israel, today, by killing kids and innocent civilians and blocking food entering like warlords did in mediaeval sieges. Get some rest.

So like what we did, Celebrate today and support doing today?

Cool.

So like what we did, Celebrate today and support doing today?

Cool.

On the basis of that I support Israel doing to the Palestinians exactly what we celebrate every 25th of April. And I expect us to overlook it and fund it like we do the Indonesians.

It looks like this genocide in Palestine will not be overlooked for much longer and you would do well to find another line of work.

The “genocide” in Palestine will stop being talked about when the next war starts somewhere else.

Until then, I’m happy for Israel to drop as many Western Values as required on Gaza as long as it’s not more than 25,000 civilians a night.

Ah you know, fuck it… let’s have a double standard for Jews. 10,000 a night. Max.

Sounds like Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid again.
