You are changing the subject. You were talking about jihad within the context of the images you pasted. They do not talk about jihad in the context of violent resistance.

Please do demonstrate that, because the images you shared talk about armed resistance, which means that if they get attacked, they’re going to fight back. That’s as close as it gets to what you’re saying.

What you got was a definition of jihad you disagree with. That is not the same thing.

Jihad means “struggle” in Arabic. That has a broad range of interpretations. You deciding it must mean violence and only violence is the issue here.

I don’t like the state of Israel, but I don’t want the world to lose the Jewish people

Well then you’re in luck, because more Jews live outside of Israel than live in it. Myself being one of them. Fuck Israel, it doesn’t represent me and suggesting it does is, frankly, bigoted.

Israel is not the Jewish State even if it wants to say it is. That claim benefits two groups:

1. The Israeli government
2. Evangelicals who believe that all of the Jews in the entire world have to be forcibly deported to Israel in order for Jesus to return.

And meanwhile, that sentiment increases antisemitism, it doesn’t reduce it. Israel makes the world less safe for me and my family. It does not protect me. It never has, it never will.

You don’t even need to leave Afghanistan. Afghanistan before the Soviets invaded was a very different place.

Can you point to any of the Hamas supporters on Lemmy? I have yet to meet one.

Is this supposed to be some gotcha that justifies Israel’s genocide? Because what does Israel think of all of the women they are killing? And in Syria as well.

What isn’t releasing billions of microplastic particles? We’re fucked.

Yes, we’ve all seen your total heel-turn.

I also wasn’t talking about you.

So glad the community is getting indundated with a bunch of people who never post here celebrating the win of the fascist that is going to put people in concentration camps.

She’s very proud. And very tired.

There is one slightly amusing part- Napoleon was so butthurt about Haiti that he said “fuck it” to all of North America and that’s how the U.S. ended up doubling its size through the Louisiana Purchase.

And if anyone owes a debt to anyone, France owes it to Haiti.

That’s not an answer to how you do all of that without a government. You can’t just say “France has to do it” and walk away like that solves it all.

Who is going to build all of those things? Who is going to organize them? Who is going to get the supplies? Who is going to ensure nothing gets stolen and no one gets hurt? Who is going to take care of any medical issues that turn up due to things like accidents?

How do you do all of that without a government?

Good luck doing rebuilding without a stable government.

I am certain that Europe and America will never give any legitimate slavery reparations in my lifetime.

That said, Haiti is way too unstable right now to give them reparations. They need a stable government first. Otherwise you’re basically just giving it to gangs.

I’m pretty ambivalent about the TikTok ban, but I will point out that TikTok is not allowed to be used inside China, which does kind of re-enforce the idea that it’s for pushing propaganda on the West.

What the fuck?

Magnet fishing, also called magnetic fishing, is searching in outdoor waters for ferromagnetic objects available to pull with a strong neodymium magnet.[1] Recovered items may be dangerous, such as firearms, ammunition, and bombs.

Why would anyone do this?

I wish them luck. They have an uphill climb against someone cementing dictatorial powers but I hope they can achieve those goals.

Free speech absolutism goes way too far.

Nazis marching is an implicit threat of violence and should be treated as such.
