Man this post is really some kind of crazy Rorschach test

Two neighbors were fighting over a financial dispute. They couldn’t reach an agreement, so they took their case to the local rabbi. The rabbi heard the first litigant’s case, nodded his head and said, “You’re right.”

The second litigant then stated his case. The rabbi heard him out, nodded again and said, “You’re also right.”

The rabbi’s attendant, who had been standing by this whole time, was justifiably confused. “But, rebbe,” he asked, “how can they both be right?”

The rav thought about this for a moment before responding, “You’re right, too!”

Yeah, I want to interpret it as someone posting not only in support of Palestine, but in warning to Israel that their actions are that of the star wars Empire, and that the rebels did eventually succeed in a massive counterattack

Yeah but in this story the "rebels" want to kill as many Jews as they can, as we saw on October 7.

In this story if there is a successful counter attack, it will be many many more civilians dead.

The rebels aren't always the good guys, you know. I mean do you support the Rebels in the US Civil War? Sometimes the smaller power is just a group of assholes that want horrible things.

right? my first thought was pro-palestine, then i remembered my local closet trumper is obsessed with Star Wars and views himself as part of the Rebellion/Resistance and the other interpretation became clear. did we learn nothing from the obama-era liberal harry potter fetish?

I've always been more worried of the Empire did nothing wrong facet of the Fandom, but I guess there's people who think they're rebellion too. Despite the fact that the rebellion is the one with multiple races...

Still, there is an odd commonality of right wing propaganda types using fictional movies, shows, and books as if they are reality.

I'm just taking it as someone who loves reminiscing about episode IV
