“You have to choose a side!”
“Unless it’s the US Presidential election, sit that out!”
“Israel is a terrorist state.”
“CLEARLY YOU ARE TOO SYMPATHETIC TO THE ZIONAZI CAUSE”

The common heritage thing is kind of a bad take tbh. It’s like asking why the Irish have a beef with the English in 1920, why can’t all Britons just get along.
Not a ban worthy take. More like sitting someone down and explaining that some weird notion of racial solidarity from literally 2000 years ago probably isn’t going to defuse the situation.
I mean, I’d have to drill into what they mean more to be sure, but I took it as just that - the Irish had beef with the English in 1920 not because of some fundamental difference of being between the peoples, but because the English had shitty rulers with no interest in the well-being of the Irish or the English.
Although, gruesomely and related to the original comment’s mention of relatives, there are more neighbors and intermarriage even between the notoriously sectarian and segregated Catholics and Protestants in 1920s Ireland than in modern Israel, considering Israel’s ban on interfaith marriage and the whole apartheid occupation deal going on.
This is lunacy it’s like it’s getting worse and worse
Of course it is. The US election is in 2 days. Gotta ramp up the discord and propaganda!
You think it’s out of hand now?
Just wait until 9am Moscow Standard Time on monday morning. It’ll take a little bit of time for them to drink their coffee and have the morning meeting to figure out their talking points. The smarter ones will wait until 9am eastern before they start posting.

Side note if all the mainstream Lemmy instances blocked Russia we might see a decrease in spam
They hate (some) hawkish imperialist states but pacifism isn’t allowed either‽
I KNEW that thread would keep them busy for a bit!
Tankies jihadist stance is so strange. True chicken behaviour 🔪 🐔
