We must condemn the violence of hummus, otherwise we are not allowed to criticize the apartheid state...

Good for this guy calling out the hypocrisy.

One should be free to speak their mind on Israel without being implicitly accused of being an anti-semite or terrorist sympathizer.

When I criticize the USA, nobody asks me to condemn the violence of 9/11.

It's such a strange thing.

Since when is hummus violent?!

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

When it has too much garlic. Oh my poor tummy...

You're right, though a big part of it is time. You don't get asked to condemn the attacks of 9/11 now. You may have if you were critical of the US in September/October of 2001.

of you are against hummus, you and i can never be friends

[–] MelodiousFunk@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm not against hummus, hummus is against me (._.)

Yeah! What will become of us, if we start condemning terror organizations?

[–] Melkath@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Americans have completely ruined the word "terrorist".

By law, in America, peaceful protesters are terrorists.

I dont endorse Hamas. I condemn Israel.

Well at least condemn and punish all terrorist organizations, even extra organized ones.

Hamas massacred 1300 people. If you don't condemn that, what do you condemn?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

That's not what the article is about.

[–] TomAwsm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Why focus on just one side of the conflict?

[–] Melkath@kbin.social -3 points 1 year ago

Israel. That is who I condemn in the context.

Israel's jumpers MASSIVELY ECLIPSE any number you can hang on Hamas.
