    Speaks to human selfishness that “nobody gets it” means to nuke it rather than turn it into a wildlife preserve or something…

    Except isn’t nthis what American zionists want? To bring about the end of the world and make Mr. The Jesus come back? To start the Harmegdon?

      Except isn’t nthis what American zionists want?

      There is an American doomsday cult that thinks Israel needs to be demolished, because some 3rd century gnostic who was most likely tripping balls while writing Christian fanfic got his work included in the official Biblical texts.

      What this overlooks is how many times the territories in and around Jerusalem have been sacked and plundered, how many genocides the region has endured, and how often the various diasporas native to the region have failed to fulfill any of their goofy eliminationist fantasies.

      Armageddon keeps happening. Antichrists keep emerging. Plagues keep ravishing the land. We must be on the twentieth “Second Coming” by now.

          “The last battle humans fight on all of Earth will be at a big hill called Tel Megiddo just west of Afula” is one hell of a bold claim, though.

        If you mean the Revelation, it’s a political pamphlet masqueraded as apocalyptic literature, which latter was a popular genre at the time.

    That’s been the plan of some all along.

    Collect all jewish peeps there, then have them convert to the new christian messiah, or else boom.

    Not joking.

    Some really have been pursuing that plan.

    Gets rethinking the perception management ploys upon us, eh?

    So it’s not really so original a savvy, as much just succumbing to the genocidal psyop.

        Guessing you’re German? It is used in place of the Palestinian flag, because it has the same colors. Since Germany is terrified of being labeled antisemitic, (and Israel immediately jumps to “you’re an antisemite” whenever anyone disagrees with them,) the German government has their tongue all the way up Israel’s asshole. So the German government labeled it antisemitic, (and started trying to propagandize their population to believe so as well, by equating it with Nazis) because they don’t want any Germans making headlines by using the emoji to support Palestine.

            It’s not seen as a nazi symbol in Switzerland (at least in the french-speking part). But off course, the right wing labels everything pro-Palestine as antisemitic, like pretty much everywhere I guess

            they* but no, I’m ukrainian, it took off as a meme a while ago but not everyone is aware it started in nazi groupchats and sometimes gets used as a dogwhistle, so I’m wary

          Nope, just tired of seeing it get associated with the word “based”, bc I know who came up with that association. I think you can sorta deduce my country from that lol

              Just don’t combine that with watermelons lol or I’ll assume you’re cool with nazis (or simply oblivious). Peep the other comment, I explained it briefly.

              e: I guess it doesn’t make sense outside of my country so idc that much, just wanted to know the context

                But Palestine is based too.

                I hate the Hitler ate sugar trope, I will appropriate Nazi memes and use them against them all I want.

                It is only as evil as the user wielding them.

                  Not always, it’s the memes combining watermelons with “based” lingo, and for the most part people using them are fine, just not aware that it got started by nazis and is sometimes used as a dogwhistle

                  edit: you can draw a parallel to how pepe is used, only the origins and users are flipped in that case

        Are you from Germany by chance? Been adopted as a symbol of Palestinian resistance and therefore labelled anti-“semetic” by certain governments

      If land can be holy then the land made by their holiness must be holy. Thus all of earth and beyond should be Jerusalem, and those who live anywhere should need not move but be anywhere to speak and be with such holiness. No land is theirs, all land is his holiness, and land ownership is a spit in the eye of such.

      Stealing from their lord…
