MODERATORS
 

The House of Representatives is trying to pass a resolution making the term “Free Palestine” an official antisemitic slogan.

Republican Representative Gabe Evans from Colorado introduced the resolution in the wake of the attack on a gathering for Israeli hostages in Boulder this week. Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, has been charged for the attack, during which he yelled “Free Palestine,” according to the FBI.

“Whereas, while shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails,” the resolution reads. House Republicans are expected to vote on the nonbinding resolution next week.

Typical Internet. It's the right to free speech. If horrible people don't have the right to say what they want, then it's not free speech. Period.

I don't appreciate being incorrectly associated with these horrible people just because I believe in rights.

Even the actual Nazis werent as bold as to start calling other people Nazis just to distract from themselves.

Someone no doubt once argued against Antisemitic law with the reasoning that it could be used to justify whatever those in power wanted and that was not a wise risk to take. Someone else said 'shut up, you racist' and passed the laws.

Those people armed their opponents with the very weapons that would be used against them. Congrats, liberals. Your unwise use of power has empowered the unwise.

Okay, then liberate Palestine!

Sorry bud, the word "Palestine" is also now antisemitic-- and is itself a call for genocide , I'm told.

Israel is a terror state.

The USA is a rogue state.

This coming from the same motherfuckers that brought you classics like:

"We have to let the Nazis march in the park this weekend, freeze peach"

And

"The klan is just a bunch of good 'ol boys, they never hurt nobody"

And "Jews will not replace us," elon's nazi salute, nazi flags at their rallies, and "oh no, you've got it all wrong! I was totally born in 1988, that's why it's in my username. Ignore the 14."

Even back when I was a wee baby in the 90s, it cost at least $8 to free Willy, and a drink and popcorn were easily twice that.

How does the end result (Palestine is free) look in detail?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Realistically let's start with actual control over Gaza and the West Bank and access to, you know, stuff like food, water, medicine, education, and other things considered "human rights" when it's related to the right people. Abolishing illegal settlements would be welcomed as well.

Israel should've never existed but it does and it will continue to do so.
