A genocidal state.
Calling this genocide is like crying wolf, it merely provides cover for actual genocides by diluting the term until it’s meaningless. Israel could certainly suffer fewer casualties if they were to fire bomb or nuke Gaza, but they won’t because they’re not fucking genocidal.
It IS a Genocide.
People who study genocides call it a genocide. Please stop being retarded.
Yeah and some scientists deny that climate change is a thing, that doesn’t mean all points of view are equally valid. What you are pretending is a mainstream point of view is actually quite contentious:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_genocide_accusation#Discourse
Overwhelmingly scientists agree climate change is a thing. Overwhelmingly genocide experts agree the Israel-Palestine conflict is a genocide.
I am begging you to stop being retarded.
Your claim: “Overwhelmingly genocide experts agree the Israel-Palestine conflict is a genocide.”
Your Evidence: A quote by one historian. Not even a link, mind you, a screenshot. It was from the same source I provided, so if it was a normal link that same article would show other experts who disagree with him below his quote.Do I need to explain to you why you are being intellectually dishonest here?
Here’s yet another source that shows there isn’t a consensus among experts:
https://time.com/6334409/is-whats-happening-gaza-genocide-experts/A screenshot to the wikipedia article you linked me. You did read it, didn’t you? You didn’t just link something and hoped to god it supported your claim, did you? Boy howdy that’d be embarrassing.
Uh oh, a second person who agrees it’s genocidal.
Also, your link is over a month old. Let’s find something more up to date.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/29/middleeast/south-africa-icj-israel-genocide-intl/index.html
Oops, looks like the South African government agrees too.
Two whole people! Wow I guess that means that the entirety of experts must be <4. Also, that second person says they are “moving towards a ‘genocidal campaign.’” Not that they have committed one.
And South Africa, too! lol. I bet you can find some Muslim states who agree as well.
I’m done here, you’re clearly not willing to discuss this in good faith.
It’s Michael Keaton for me
Can’t beat that Burton Batmobile and Elfman theme
I mean, Patterson was good but bail is iconic. The dark knight trilogy were so big, it made most movies gritty.
Unpopular opinion: Bale happened to be the Batman of the best Batman movie, his Batman is kinda meh. And I wish Afflect was in better Batman movies.
Now that you call it out, I agree! Bale gets a lot of praise for his ability to morph his body for different roles, but is otherwise only alright as an actor. But he happens to be in many great movies with other iconic figures which really elevates his cachet.
Affleck is pretty good. I also really liked Pattenson’s emo sad-Bruce version quite a bit more than I expected to. For me, nothing will ever be as nostalgic and iconic as the Tim/Conroy animated portrayal.
I was a fan of the dark Knight trilogy and thought no one is topping this, but Pattenson nailed it. I honestly like his Batman better now, and hope they continue with it.
Shame they aren’t still using him. He makes a good, grizzled Batman that just doesn’t play around anymore.
Petterson is iconic but he would be nothing without Findus.
Ahaha! I see what you did there.
^(It’s just unfortunate that his name is actually Pettson.)
I only know the German translation where the name is Petterson.
Jimmy Patterson!
Hi, I see in the modlog that dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 's post was removed for “violating rule 1,” which is, “be civil and nice.”
Israel is discriminating non-citizens like every other state while e. g. Arabic citizens have full civil rights. As much as you might hate Israel, this is not Apartheit.
What isn’t nice or civil about this post? They shared their opinion, one I consider reasonable, in a way that was inoffensive. Can the mods please elaborate on your mod policy here, are only anti-Israel opinions allowed?
(original comments still visible on kbin, though site is unstable atm)
@dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com
WTH?! Israel is by all metrics an apartheid state. Whether you accept it or not.
Have you ever been there?
I’ve never been to America but I know the Empire State Building is pretty tall.
Until I was 14 y/o
That comment is so idiotic and/or bad faith that I totally get removing it. Better to remove it than clog up the comments with a dozen people trying to explain why they’re wrong and the OP likely sea lioning them all.
Kevin Conroy was the best Batman
Adam West was the best! And it even rhymes.
And he was also the best mayor.

Ben’s version of batman was best batman. Not much who was playing him, but how batman acted and handled himself.
Horrible script but great acting. If Affleck was younger I’d want to see him take the mantle properly
Compromise time: he’s a (mostly) retired Batman, and we can have a younger actor as Batman Beyond?
Then we get into who would make the perfect combination and that’s a whole other argument.
Israel was born in Nazism, molded by it. Palestinians merely adopted being oppressed.
i side mostly with mental outlaw
For me it’s Alfredo Casero, and i will die on that hill
Deep down we know that doing terrorism will not solve any problems.
And yet the Israelis keep at it.
Why stop when there’s no consequences
Fun History Fact:
The Black Hands terrorist organization, the ones that killed Archduke Ferdinand, hoped that by doing so they would start a civil war that would result in a victory for Serbia, specifically creating a “Greater Serbia” from the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire where they had dominance over their regional neighbors.
Obviously, that didn’t happen.
Instead WW1 happened.
Which ended in the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the creation of Yugoslavia, a constitutional monarchy with a Serbian royal family, capital in Serbia.
(And then they made everyone hate them because they were assholes both as a monarchy and a communist state)
Second, Bonus Fun History Fact:
Terroristic tactics have left Afghanistan as the only nation to have defeated occupations by the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and America, the three most powerful states since the collapse of the Mongol Empire.
Let’s make one thing clear: This “country” that proclaims itself as Israel is not the same Israel as described in Bible but a Zionist State where its ideological pillars were forged, in a Europe still at the time submerged in colonialist ideology. This is just to say the basics
What is your point?
Like why I care about whether or not it is the one in the bible?
What are you trying to get at?
It seems a bit “fun fact that is kinda related to the post but not really at the same time”. I mean obviously Israel is a Zionist state. It is literally the movement that made the state. How does it relate to apartheid? Now colonistic idealogy has a link to apartheid. But then again, Jews didn’t had the best experience with colonism within Europe which is what Hilter did. So you could easily argue against the sentiment, while I personally won’t argue either way as I don’t believe that I know or understand enough.
In short, I might agree with you if I would understand what you want to tell us. But I don’t, care to help me?
Disregarding acting ability, I don’t think Pattinson had the physicality for it; he didn’t look big enough to me to be believable. You could really tell the Batman costume had a lot of padding when you saw him as Bruce Wayne. I think he’s just too lithe, for the lack of a better descriptor, for the character, you know?

they totally control all the borders of the Palestinian people. excluding them from citizenship is part of the apartheid.
Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt? I know the Gaza strip only borders Egypt as well but isn’t Palestine kinda patchy? Islands in the north, Middle East, and Southwest of Israel?
When I think Palestine usually think of this map.
Israel blockades humanitarian aid from reaching Palestinians. they control all the borders.
Got it. So all four of those nations are contributing to it by not wanting to piss off Israel?
Yes because Egypt and Jordan have peace treaty. Lebanon and Syria do not but they don’t border either Gaza or West bank.
which of them have nukes and a us-funded airforce, navy, and cyber command?
yes, israel rattles its sabers at all its neighbors to protect its apartheid.
Damn, this is embarrassing

It’s funny how you claim Israel is “winning this war on terror,” yet everything after that in your comment sounds like something a terrorist would say.
Nevermind mind the fact the war on terror was something the US came up with and then badly fucked that up. Dude’s not even a competent troll.
From the POV of the US, I’d argue that the war on terror was a rousing success. They got the surveillance state they wanted.
War on Drugs caused drugs to become more available, more potent, and cheaper.
War on Terror has created entirely new terrorist organizations.
Could we have a War on Wealth?
I mean, based on these other examples, it seems like a real monkey’s paw situation. We’d probably just get a few more asshat billionaires out of it.
What they meant to say is: “Israel is winning the war on terror on the side of terror”
Palestinians are not All Arabic nor Muslim. (saying Arabic/Muslim shows how little people understand the difference. It’s as dumb as saying Caucasian/Christian. You can be one, both, or none.) Palestinian genetically are a mix of all Mediterranean peoples. And that includes Greek, European, and Arabs. Also, the Palestinian people are more secular than the surrounding Muslim countries… Second, there is no winning a war on terror. Not in the way you are thinking anyways. Every innocent person killed by Israel spawns new terrorists. It’s unwinnable through violence.

And sorry for the double response but what in the actual fuck is 99% Arabic? For starters, minus un-contacted tribes on islands and forests, there are no 99% ethnic people on earth! If someone is 33% Caucasian, 33% Arabic, and 33% Asian what are they to you? Because your words indicates it matters. Your words implies the 1% rule used by racist to justify atrocities. (1% rule is if someone has 1% of blood outside of “white” means they are the other race.) All I see is humans being killed in Gaza.
TLDR: there are no large population of people that are 99% of anything. Even more so in the fucking Mediterranean.
Israel are terrorists, and invaders in the West Bank deserve to be shot
