That’s a form of truly psychotic delusion.

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.

There are centrists and even conservatives out there in the world who have valid perspectives and values but who are not Trumpers.

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

Not much. British Muslims spent the last 10 months attacking British Jews and calling for a genocide of the Jewish people in Israel, burning Union Jacks, calling for ‘death to the West’, and so on and so on.

I’m not saying they should be subject to similar attacks themselves, but I’m not going to march in their defence.

They could have done that after October 7th, and they chose to celebrate the death of Jews. So I’m simply not going to march with them at all. Let’s see what happens.

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.

Have you read the article?

You mean the plan accepted by the Jews and rejected by the Arabs, right before they launched a war which in the words of Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and close friend of Adolf Hitler, they would “continue fighting until the Zionists were annihilated” and, in the words of one of the most senior leaders of Jerusalem, Jamal al-Husayni, that “the blood will flow like rivers in the Middle East”?

That’s the war you’re referring to re: “The UN’s right to defend itself”?

Because of course, it could have done at the time, and defended itself against the side that rejected the UN plan: the Arabs. And it didn’t.

So what’s your point here, if not spreading Jew-hatred?

(The UN does not, in fact, have a ‘right to defend itself’, nor to slaughter Jews in brutal pogroms, nor to teach generations of children that the greatest thing they can do with their lives is detonate a suicide vest in a crowd of Jewish civilians using the money of the international community)

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
