How can a meme make no sense and so much sense at the same time

Very important detail, Lord of The Flies only happens with British Children.

I’m afraid the call is coming from inside the house in this case.

Plot twist: it’s the same house

First, protest’s don’t necessarily need to accomplish anything, people are allowed to be angry.

Second, the black white wealth inequality in South Africa is still insane and the Dutch are partially responsible for that. Plus you can’t really buy groceries from awareness or excuses.

Third, as a Dutch guy I don’t really mind them being uncomfortable for a bit once in a while, keeps them grounded.

Absolute bs title. It’s a PR test, can he give the cop’s anything they want without getting significant push back. And with the state of American media the answer is probably a resounding yes.

General, it has come to my attention that there are hospitals in Gaza that haven’t been bombed yet, quick deploy the troops!

If misspelling words is a meme now, I have some hilarious memes to share from when I was 9 (They are all in Dutch tho)

Don’t forget to vote next year, the options are pro-Israel and PRO-ISRAEL!

In your statement you are completely disregarding the security concerns of the Palestinians, calling the current state of the Gaza strip a 'token of good will' is absolutely ludicrous. If you really believe this I would invite you to read the wikipedia article on the great march of return: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–2019_Gaza_border_protests.

On apartheid I will simply refer to the judgment of HRW: https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/07/19/israeli-apartheid-threshold-crossed

And finally it is not stupid idealism to want to end the current status quo in Israel, I think it has become clear over the last few days that it is not possible to suppress a population without some kind of response: an apartheid state is a state of violence. And I hope we can all agree (at least if you are not an ethnonationalist) that the current state of South Africa is much much better than it was during apartheid.

Stop the occupation of Palestine, stop the settlement of the West Bank, and stop the apartheid status of Palestinians in Israel. Then either allow Palestine to be an independent country in the UN, responsible for their own security and economy. Or give all Palestinians voting rights in Israel as a one state solution. After that is set and done set up an independent criminal court to judge on all war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in this region, this will of course also include Hamas.

I would rather they don’t commit war crimes :)
