Vandalizing synagogues with swastikas is good, leftists argue.

    Anyone who puts a swastika on a synagogue is absolute scum in my opinion, no matter if it was supposed to be an ironic commentary or even a condemnation of how Israel has become the very thing that tried to destroy them.

    But this… Coming to the conclusion that the left are nazis is about the wrongest possible conclusion you could arrive at.

    It seems like it’s only possible to believe this when you don’t know what these words mean. Or don’t want to know what these words mean.

      It’s pretty obvious that people here don’t know what those words mean. Or don’t want to. Communists, democrats and nazis are not all the same thing.

      My main reason for posting here is to let anyone reading this know that putting a swastika on a synagogue is never ok, it is in no way a legitimate protest or political act.

      Further, that somebody did this, -and some knuckle heads attempted to interpret it- is not legitimate proof that “the left are nazis.” This nonsensical argument is an attempt to demonize and discredit those who protest the killing of children. You don’t have to wish for the destruction of Israel to think that killing children - Israeli or palestinian children- is wrong.

      It is strange that to speak out against the deliberate starvation and killing of children is to be accused of antisemitism.

      It is strange that to point out the moral implications of collective punishment and indiscriminate bombing of civilian noncombatants is to be accused of supporting hamas.

      See this is what I hate. You do think I’m defending Hamas and Palestinian aggression despite me saying otherwise all the time. And then you defend Israel’s genocide like I’m arguing for violence, just Palestinian instead of Israeli.

      This is the dishonest and manipulative tactic of those who want to justify the thinking that for every wrongdoing of the enemy, a million more wrongs must be measured out in response. If you disagree, then you are accused of supporting the enemy. If you disagree with killing children, you are labeled a hamas-loving terrorist that wants to eradicate the nation of Israel. It is nonsense.

      This is nothing new. During the Vietnam war, people protesting the US military burning Vietnamese civilians, including children with napalm were called " disloyal." People protesting burning children alive were called “communists that hate America”.

      Does anyone really believe that burning Vietnamese children with napalm was a perfectly acceptable way for America to defend itself against communism?
