    Speaking as someone who is extremely anti-Israel, it’s astounding how tankies turn the doublethink on with “Genocide is bad” (correct) and “Massive ethnic cleansing of the modern state of Israel is morally correct” (wrong).

      I mean two of their chief idols committed crimes against humanity on massive scales. Largely on their own citizens, no less.

      Because at least in my experience dealing with them, they have no principles, only a ‘team’ they defend at all costs and attack the other team at all costs.

    “But… What’s this even got to do with communism anymore”

    So many good little bits in here.

    Israel will lose the fight.

    Israel has yet to lose a war. Arguing for peace is way more effective than arguing for more bloodshed

    I love the cute fantasizing. ‘You paramilitaries have no idea what you’re doing. If you all work together at the same time you can achieve anything!’

    also love the cultural appropriation. just a few years ago, these guys would’ve freaked out if someone used another’s culture to shitpost. maybe if i use automatically translated Arabic no one will notice my edge

      Well, they did lose the Sinai to Egypt, though it was more of a lost peace than a lost war. And it was more of a return to status quo anyway.
