    Had to go looking, but I found the image this comment is in reaction to.

    spoiler

    It’s a cartoon from “Liberation” newspaper in france, and the caption is “Ramadan in Gaza” (published just after the hunanitarian aid blockade and famine crisis started in Gaza, for which Israel is now being accused as an act of genocide)

    The woman in a hijab is slapping the hand of an emaciated Gazan chasing after a rat, presumably to catch and eat it, and saying “Not before sunset”

    It’s a pretty openly Islamophobic joke about Gazan’s starving during the month of Ramadan where muslims traditionally fast from sunrise to sunset.

    I don’t think it should need to be said, but even orthodox Muslims recognize exceptions to fasting during ramadan for starvation and bodily injury.

      They seem to dislike france’s freedom of speech and their anti-islam stance.

      … No, it does not make sense. I don’t have a clue.

        I think it has more to do with Macron and his bedding of right-wing fascists to avoid a left-wing government coalition

        That, and their funding of religious ethnostate terrorists…

        Edit: i don’t get it, is it something I said?

        Edit 2: OK, I was wrong about the specific context of the comment, but I’ll take partial credit for guessing it had to do with the war in Gaza

          Yes, the dislike of a democratically elected leader is reasonable clause to call for innocent french people to die in a massacre

            I didn’t say it was reasonable, I was only answering the question as to why they were angry with France.

            I think what the west deserves for funding a genocidal fascist is entirely up for debate, but that they deserve something is pretty well justified, IMHO

              Are you trying to say the West deserves violence? Advocating for violence isn’t allowed in this community or instance.

                  And what will this justice be? Because the post is saying a massacre.

                  I think it’s pretty telling you were advocating for violence, and now you’re forced to backtrack.

    What does that mean? Do they actually want Charlie Hebdos, as in people that aren’t scared to make irreverent cartoons of Mohammed? Or they want people like Charlie Hebdo to get the same response from the Muslim community? There’s a difference.

      I too am intrigued why tankies would support islamic fundamentalists murdering leftist french journalists… Doesn’t add up… My only guess (beyond the general mental illness tankies display) is that French colonialism fucked up cultures around the world for centuries — across south America, Africa, and Asia — and they still hold political and military control over a few of them… But why cheer islamic terrorism? Why cheer the murder of leftist journos?

        Tankies are very simple things. They operate by US bad

        If something, like jihadists, says the US is bad, then the Tankies will support them.

        until…

        They are reacting to this comic from ‘Liberation’ newspaper last year about the genocide in Gaza during Ramadan:

        The woman in a hijab is slapping the hand of an emaciated Gazan chasing after a rat, presumably to catch and eat it, and saying “Not before sunset”

        They’re leftists but not the right kind of leftists. That makes them deserving of being murdered in the tankies’ eyes.

      They want to kill – Or rather, like classic rich college kids, they want others to kill for them. They will thankfully never do anything violent, all bark.

        (Well, actually, watch out for them IRL on a smaller level. They very well may be violent, abusive people that will hurt you, or participate in SLA style politicial violence, it’s just that no “revolution” is ever going to happen.

        And before someone says it, no I didn’t say they all are, just that they can be.)

          I’ve seen what they look like. They’re not particularly strong men, really flimsy, actually. Riddled with anxiety and insecurity.
