Banning trans medical care. And yes, abortion is a legal right.

Quote me.

https://youtube.com/shorts/-hI0CBUwknA?si=TOygSZHqhXFqalfJ a common-sense, moderate analysis of the situation from Joe Rogan and Dave Smith (who is a Jewish conservative).

Yes, they were arrested because that's illegal. What more do you want?

That's not the word I used. When you learn to read, get back to me.

Abortion, the right to be trans

Advocate for taking away their rights. People don't like that.

No, they didn't "deserve" it, but the characterization of the rally as a simple "public prayer event" is grossly misleading. That makes it sounds like these poor people were minding their own business and attacked out of nowhere. It was a rally that intended to stir up the locals and it succeeded. Throwing piss on them isn't justified, but I'm not going to pretend that this was some awful violation of civil rights either. The perpetrators were arrested and the group is continuing to publicly protest. I'm not sure what more you want? Their rights are being protected. They don't have a right for people to not hate them though.

Yeah, look at all this land they've been "giving up." lmao

Buddy, the Israeli's take more land in the West Bank every day. And all Palestinian land is under blockade. It's not actually free.

But they can decide to stop selling weapons and aiding the militaries of countries who murder civilians. Same thing goes for the Saudis or the Syrian rebels (who are actually ISIS splinter groups). And if you think the US doesn't have influence over Israel's actions, you're stupid. If we make them stop, they will stop. For example, Reagan made the Israeli's stop bombing Beirut in the early 80s. Israel is our proxy. They completely rely on us for their existence. Anything they do, they do with our implicit consent, which makes us complicit in this genocide.

"public prayer event" It was an anti-LGBTQ rally in the heart of one of the most liberal cities in the country. It's a part of a larger ultra-conservative Christian movement that refers to itself as "worship warfare." Their whole mission is to go into ultra-liberal areas and stir *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me* up so they can claim they are "under attack" afterwards. Counter-protestors who broke the law were arrested. The group is continuing to publicly protest, as is their right protected under the constitution. They don't have a right for people not to hate them. I live in a very liberal city. There are public prayer events here all the time. There are tons of churches, tons of Christians. They don't get counter-protested or harassed because they don't go out of their way to instigate. Don't be a psycho and people will treat you with respect.

In an op-ed published in Haaretz, former Prime Minister of Israel states the obvious: Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza. The truth is obvious. You have no excuses anymore. If you can't acknowledge it now, you are walking in the footsteps of a 1930s German Nazi supporter. https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025-05-27/ty-article-opinion/.premium/enough-is-enough-israel-is-committing-war-crimes/00000197-0dd6-df85-a197-0ff64a5c0000 While Olmert wrote that he had previously defended his country against “accusations of genocide and war crimes,” the Israeli politician said he can no longer see the widespread slaughter of civilians, including women, children and the elderly, or the campaign to starve Gaza as mere collateral damage in “a brutal war.” “What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians,” he said. “We are doing this not because of an accidental loss of control in a particular sector, not because of a disproportionate outburst of fighters in some unit — but as a result of a policy dictated by the government, knowingly, intentionally, viciously, maliciously, recklessly,” Olmert’s op-ed continued. “Yes, we are committing war crimes.”

“Protecting Israel” does not mean you have to kill 50,000 civilians. And the “world” is not on your side. The UN has sanctioned Israel over and over again. If the US didn’t have total veto power, they would have been far more severe with punishment. The ICC charged them with war crimes. Even Germany, the most pro-Israel country in Europe, just came out and said they can no longer support what Israel is doing in Gaza. So take your own advice and start listening to what the rest of the world is telling you about Israel.

Israelis basically reenact Kristallnacht every year to celebrate a national holiday. Awesome country! There’s certainly no reason to question their intentions when they “accidentally” kill tens of thousands of women and children.

Even if it were true, it’s completely irrelevant.

Lol, no. Since you guys stumbled upon a new talking point, the Palestinians weren’t willingly governed by the British either. The British conquered it from the Ottomans in WWI. They were also a colonial occupier. The Palestinians also launched a revolt to try to throw the Brits out. The reason the arabs declared war was because instead of getting their own sovereignty when the Brits withdrew, the Brits handed the reigns over to a different minority group. Your argument is essentially “if a people get conquered by a foreign empire, that means they never have the right to self-governance again.” Why did the US colonists have the right to independence. They never “owned” America. It belonged to the British.

Why won’t Israel let international observers in to verify if the death toll is a lie? What do they have to hide?

No, the day after Israel, with UN backing, declared itself a Jewish state with control over lands occupied by a majority Arab population who did not elect them or consent to being governed by them. The Jewish people weren’t “placed” there. The ones who *already lived there* were given control of land they didn’t own and the people *who did own that land*,naturally, had a problem with that. You guys know nothing about the actual history of this land. Just talking out of your asses all day long. There’s a neat rhetorical trick where you guys treat “Jewish people” and the “state of Israel” as one thing. Those are two very different things. People have a right to exist. Governments do not.

They....literally did. The Nazis were defeated and Europe liberated. What are you talking about? Many of the jews who did flee Hitler during the Holocaust were actually welcomed in Palestine, many living with Palestinian families' homes with them. The Nakba happened years later, after the war, when the West decided it wanted a proxy in the region when the British Colonial Empire was no longer tenable.

dup.

Also hilarious that people like @Husker_Du complain about "illegal" immigrants who they would never even know existed if the news didn't tell them, yet can't understand the Palestinian cause where, not only did millions of immigrants enter the land without their permission, but they also kicked 700,000 people out of their homes, made them refugees, and put them under military occupation for 75 years. Imagine if instead of picking fruit or working in construction, Hector from Guatemala showed up on your door with a gun and made you leave your home or die. And then when you moved to a worse house away from home, you then had to get Hector's permission to go to work, buy food, turn on your lights, go to the doctor, etc...That's what conservatives act like is happening here, but it's what actually happened in Palestine, and is still happening today.

1) Israel didn’t exist 100 years ago lol 2) “100 years of attacks” Only a tiny fraction of Israelis have been killed in this conflict compared to Palestinians. Millions of Palestinians have lost their lives or homes so people born in Brooklyn could exercise their “right” to the land in Palestine. The scoreboard isn’t even close here, and you wonder why they hate Israel. 99% of Palestinians alive today have never lived free in their ancestral homeland. 3) The vast majority of the arab world DOES NOT want to “genocide of jews.” They want their land back from Israel. They want the *apartheid state* of Israel gone. That doesn’t mean they want to kill every jew in the world or the jews who live in Israel. Jews lived in Palestine before the state of Israel existed. They will continue to live in Palestine after the state of Israel too. They just won’t have a Jewish-supremacist ethnostate. They’ll have to live under *shudders in horror* a democracy.

Okay, so why do you care more about the lives of 30 white farmers than 50,000 Palestinians? How else am I supposed to interpret that? Maybe you just don't think muslims are people too?

For the sake of argument, let's grant that 10/7 was a genocide too. Why aren't you also concerned with the genocide that's 50x larger? Is it because those people aren't white?
