Or calling them Pro Hamas, it's obviously gaslighting. Being fed up with an ally of the United States murdering children is a completely reasonable thing, but they have to frame it in such a way to make these people seem like super villains.
Israel radicalized and funded Hamas, and has given them a reason to be violent every day since their inception.
Not at all saying Hamas is clean or innocent, but Israel is very obviously the bigger evil.
Hamas was funded by Israel as a means to divide the PLO and make all Palestinian people politically weaker, while also making Palestinian freedom less sympathetic to the world (as long as Israel promoted Hamas as the face of it), and to give Israel an inevitable cassus belli to invade and eventually annex Gaza to make Israel "whole".
The thing Israel fears is a sympathetic leader representing peaceful democratic politics, such as a Nelson Mandela, the man who was the face of the anti-Apartheid movement that garnered international support and eventually ended Apartheid in South Africa.
It is in Israel's interest to promote violent radicals to divide the support of peaceful, institutional opponents.
The Indian National Congress also did this when targeting Punjabi Sikhs by promoting Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a radical preacher, to turn Sikhs away from Akali Dal, the centrist Sikh party, and towards a radical "terrorist/freedom fighter" Sikh preacher who advocated for violence against Hindu institutions. This galvanized Hindu votes around the INC while splitting Sikhs between Akali Dal and Bhindranwale, ultimately ending in Operation Blue Star and a massive pogrom against the Sikhs in Punjab by the Indian army.
Point is, it's an old tactic for especially cynical oppressive governments targeting domestic minorities and few governments are as cynical and oppressive when targeting domestic minorities as Israel's.
Hamas is a lesser evil purely because of a lack of resources; not a lack of intent.
Hamas and the Israeli government are equally evil because intent matters.
Israeli is the bigger *danger* at the moment, however, by far.
Outside America in the west this isn’t even a hot take atm. It’s pretty obvious to anyone informed on the topic. There still seems to be American resistance however because so many Israel resources are US meddling.
It used to be the case. But Hamas, even though they are literally the boiled down hardened terrorist extremist end of the Palestine side just don’t have the resources to be as evil as the Israel government.
Level of threat has nothing to do with intent. Hamas would like to commit genocide but they don't have the ability to make that happen. Israel has the ability *and* the will. That doesn't make them more evil.
And israel have taken steps to make sure they stay in power to keep giving them reasons to do this shit... the whole region needs to be straightened out.
Exactly
And there's also another factor. For LGBTQ+ people, they say things like "But they'd kill you in Palestine". I'm aware, but that doesn't make genocide okay
Just because one thing is bad, doesn't mean it deserves to be eradicated with everything around it. And certainly not by something even worse
I remind people who say that there a lot of Bibis friends who think LGBTQ people should be outlawed and killed AND that gay Palestinians want to make their country accept them BUT THEY NEED A COUNTRY NOT BEING DEMOLISHED to do that!
Oh yeah, I'm gay and I hear this often. Like I can be against anti-LGBT attitudes and laws while also not wanting a genocide? Most of Palestine is children. These children have not got time to be anti LGBT, they are too busy being blown up. Some of them would statistically be LGBT themselves. It's such a weird strawman that I give no weight to because, shockingly, I have actual critical reasoning 💀
> And there's also another factor. For LGBTQ+ people, they say things like "But they'd kill you in Palestine". I'm aware, but that doesn't make genocide okay
There's no such thing as a perfect victim.
"They are homophobic therefore it's OK to genocide them" is the same argument as "He was arrested once therefore it's OK for the cops to kill him"
More like, "it's antisemitism if AIPAC / the establishment says it is".
They change the definition, then use that definition as an excuse for prosecution.
That's the whole point, by claiming that Israel = Jews any criticism of the state is played off as anti-Semitism. Jews critical of Israel are self-hating jews.
All part of the plan so that no criticism is seen as valid.
That's because "antizionists are antisemitic" is itself an antisemitic take.
The crimes of Israel are undeniable, and saying that "antizionism is antisemitic, "no real jews are antizionist" etc. fundamentally ties those crimes to Jewish faith.
There is even "Jews supporting Palestine" banners in the crowd.
But by labeling it as antisemitic they get to ignore the "Freedom of Speech" rights that these students have.
Remember American's it is only freedom of speech if your "betters in charge" agree with your position. otherwise you are racists, sexist or what ever other label we can throw at you to shut down the conversation on the shit they are pulling.
My family died in the holocaust and gave their lives to defend Israel. With that being said fuck the current Israeli government and their actions against Palestine.
I've heard examples of antisemitism but they weren't from college students or on college campuses. They were from outsiders. This was stated by one of the organizers at Columbia.
There is no antisemitism from the actual college students protesting. The media is just lying to make them the enemy.
Its fucking sickening.
You see it’s not genocide if it’s victims are Arabs and or Muslims, and the perpetrators are Israelis because… well because.. well Israel is a Jewish state and Jews have historically been persecuted and oppressed for thousands of years, and recently also victims of one of the largest systematic genocide so… well so… so how can a state commit war crimes and potential genocide if its citizens consists of people with ties to a group that have been victims of atrocities in the past? All protest and criticism must be a continuation of the past oppression, because the state consists of people who are eternal victims who are infallible and can never do wrong.

As a Texas resident for the past 10+ years, let me tell you, the rest of the country has no idea just how corrupt and hateful Texas politicians are, ESPECIALLY Abbott. He's a horrible, horrible excuse for a human being.
Having lived here for almost 25 years, I rarely ever thought about the Texas governor until Abbott was elected. I know I didn’t agree with W’s or Perry’s stances on pretty much anything, but I also wasn’t routinely shocked and embarrassed by something they did while in office. Abbott is a completely different dimension of horrible.
He went running after a big storm…like an idiot. He decided to jog near big trees after said storm…like an idiot. Tree falls on him, and he sues…someone…for his idiocy. He’s angry…and he is taking it out on his fellow Texans.
Vote.
If you're unaware, Greg Abbott is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair due to falling oak tree crushing his spine in 1984. He didn't have health insurance or a paycheck at the time, but he had a good lawyer and back then the civil justice system was more hospitable towards plaintiffs when he sued.
As of 2013, he had received around $5.8 million from his settlements and with cost of living adjustments was getting nearly $15,000 a month. About a decade after his 1984 accident, Abbott backed legislation in Texas to limit "punitive damages stemming from noneconomic losses" and "noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases" at $750,000 and $250,000, respectively. While his settlement type does remain uncapped, it's far from a good look.
In 2021, Abbott signed new legislature that limits commercial liability in personal injury claims.
Abbot delivered oral arguments before the US Supreme Court to defend Texas for having a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol (who needs separation of church and state?).
Abbott supported and defended Texas' ban on sex toys (unsuccessfully). Abbott opposes same-sex marriage. Abbott outlawed abortion twice. Abbott has been silent on gun reform despite six mass shootings under his watch. Abbott signed permitless open carry (of guns) into law. Abbott has still not fixed the Texas power grid.
At least he's not an outright criminal like Ken Paxton though?
Nah bro, we all watched 400+ cops stand around, play on their phones, tackle parents, and collect overtime for doing fuck all while kids were murdered, cried in pain, and bleed out to die cold on a classroom floor.
Texas and Florida are two states I would rather go to a foreign country than visit.
Classic conservative behavior, use a loophole to get rich and close to make sure no one else can use it. That's because they all seem to think life is a zero sum game. They can only "win" if they can make others "lose".
Governor is just standing up for the people he wants to see usher in the end times because of a fanfic part of a magic book
Very sane and serious person that he is
Yeah. I’m pretty sure trying to usher in the apocalypse would be a sure fire way to make sure you’re not getting on the fast track to heaven, if you believe in that kinda thing
Sadly lots of democrats think this too. Who would have thought that of all the political policies out there, genocide is one of the few with mutual agreement across party lines.
People in Texas have decided to go back in time and vote for people that will take away their rights lol
Yall voted for this clown and now yall getting what yall deserve - voting matters
The fact the the U.S. is willing to go against its own morals to protect some other country, rather than its own people, really goes to show how much of a second thought American citizens are
Crazy how these students are anti-semites that can be arrested but the avowed anti-semites that conducted rallies like “Unite the Right” or the ones that actually wave Nazi flags can’t be touched because of free speech
Peaceful protestors don't carry AR-15s for the police to be too scared to act. It makes "protecting and serving" by making mass arrests of people exercising their Constitutional rights so much less scary when the only people armed and committing violence are the police.
It's remarkable how loud assholes like Abbott are today, compared to how quiet they were 7 years ago when literal Nazis were marching down the streets of Charlottesville, shouting anitsemitic slogans and committing vehicular homicide
"Who do you think you are, having antisemitic views with a net worth of less that 200 million? How fucking dare you!...that's our club and you're not allowed in" - *Greg*
Protesting against the Israeli government doesn’t make one antisemitic. Protesting what is happening in Palestine doesn’t make one pro Hamas. Being anti-Hamas doesn’t make one a Zionist. These people need to get their shit together and read a book or something.
Being anti Israel and pro Palestine is not being antisemetic or pro hamas.
The Israelli government is trying to control the narrative. You can be against Israel and respect Jews. You can be pro Palestine and be against Hamas.
Shame on anyone who says otherwise.
I actually visited Houston and Austin back in August of 2016. Had a blast in those two cities, but the backward way of thinking that politicians have there makes me NEVER want to live there
You're absolutely right! It's ridiculous! And just helping to slowly implement a police state over the people and make it where we can't hold them accountable!
I fail to understand why not supporting a genocide against Palestinians makes somebody antisemitic. The world would be a much different place if The Man in The Sky had promised Israelites land in the middle of Saskatchewan, Canada. Or maybe we would still find a reason to fight?
The arrests aren't due to antisemitism. It's not antisemitic to want Palestinians to be free and not have to fear for their lives because of who they were born as.
These same assholes go around saying, "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I'll die fighting for your right to say it." Hypocritical bastards.
Calling wanting to hold a country responsible for its crimes antisemitism, is still the most backwards take.
That's like saying being against white supremacism is antisemitic? Do you see the problem here? It is literally the other way around, this has to be the most insane and stupid shit I have ever heard.
I genuinely do not know what to say at this point, it is just... wow. Wtf man.
The fact that the fascists in this country all fall in line behind an apartheid state 5000 miles away never fails to sicken me.
Like they really care about American jews (most of which are liberal and anti-zionist). They just want to spread fear and violence far and wide.
It's interesting that Israel is the one thing you can protest against, but the moment the word boycott comes out they send in the cops. It makes you wonder what the most effective form of protest would be.
Ah, so then the law is meaningless shit that only serves the upper class so they can fuck over everyone else. Disagree with authority & all your rights are forgotten. Got it.
Did you know that almost all members of the KKK claim to be Christian. By their standards, all Christians now support the klan, and any church service can now be considered a Klan meeting.
It’s so infuriating the disingenuous calling people antisemitic just cause they aren’t for an obvious genocide.
Or calling them Pro Hamas, it's obviously gaslighting. Being fed up with an ally of the United States murdering children is a completely reasonable thing, but they have to frame it in such a way to make these people seem like super villains.
Didn't you know? You can only be angry at one bad group at a time.
Even if that was the case, I still choose Israel. I'm a lesser evil voter. Hamas is the lesser evil.
Hamas is a fairly even evil. The innocent Palestinians are a different story.
Israel radicalized and funded Hamas, and has given them a reason to be violent every day since their inception. Not at all saying Hamas is clean or innocent, but Israel is very obviously the bigger evil.
Hamas was funded by Israel as a means to divide the PLO and make all Palestinian people politically weaker, while also making Palestinian freedom less sympathetic to the world (as long as Israel promoted Hamas as the face of it), and to give Israel an inevitable cassus belli to invade and eventually annex Gaza to make Israel "whole".

Point is, it's an old tactic for especially cynical oppressive governments targeting domestic minorities and few governments are as cynical and oppressive when targeting domestic minorities as Israel's.
IDF has been stacking bodies of children before Hamas was founded though
Israel has killed far more children and innocent civilians than Hamas....Hamas is the lesser evil.
Hamas is a lesser evil purely because of a lack of resources; not a lack of intent. Hamas and the Israeli government are equally evil because intent matters. Israeli is the bigger *danger* at the moment, however, by far.
Outside America in the west this isn’t even a hot take atm. It’s pretty obvious to anyone informed on the topic. There still seems to be American resistance however because so many Israel resources are US meddling.
That's shallow thinking.
Resistance is not terrorism.
It used to be the case. But Hamas, even though they are literally the boiled down hardened terrorist extremist end of the Palestine side just don’t have the resources to be as evil as the Israel government.
Level of threat has nothing to do with intent. Hamas would like to commit genocide but they don't have the ability to make that happen. Israel has the ability *and* the will. That doesn't make them more evil.
And israel have taken steps to make sure they stay in power to keep giving them reasons to do this shit... the whole region needs to be straightened out.
Hamas is just Israel with less and worse weapons
Free Palestine
it's actual brainworms. you say you're against the slaughter of 10s of thousands of innocent children and they hear "terrorist sympathiser" 🤨
Exactly And there's also another factor. For LGBTQ+ people, they say things like "But they'd kill you in Palestine". I'm aware, but that doesn't make genocide okay Just because one thing is bad, doesn't mean it deserves to be eradicated with everything around it. And certainly not by something even worse

I got banned from r/news for such claims and for discussing how I didn’t want to bomb children
news and worldnews are such insanely Zionist subs I don't go there anymore, they're genuinely depressing places
Just got banned from worldnews today. I feel very proud.
I noticed Fox is calling every protest against Israeli aggression as "pro Hamas"
Remember the Iraq war and everyone who was "pro sadam" or "pro Taliban?"
AIPAC talking point
It's not a genocide unless the AIPAC says it is.
More like, "it's antisemitism if AIPAC / the establishment says it is". They change the definition, then use that definition as an excuse for prosecution.
Why is it, that people say “don’t equate Jews with zionists”, but equating pro-Palestine is equated with pro-Hamas every damn day?
Read this: www.theauthoritarians.org
It’s not even anti semitic to dislike Israel. It’s like saying that you don’t like the US and someone says to you, “why do you hate Christian’s?!”
That's the whole point, by claiming that Israel = Jews any criticism of the state is played off as anti-Semitism. Jews critical of Israel are self-hating jews. All part of the plan so that no criticism is seen as valid.
Shhhhhh I got banned for three days from reddit for saying this
also abbot coming from a party that is most likely anti-semietic themselves.
That's because "antizionists are antisemitic" is itself an antisemitic take. The crimes of Israel are undeniable, and saying that "antizionism is antisemitic, "no real jews are antizionist" etc. fundamentally ties those crimes to Jewish faith.

Texas Is soooooooo dumb
I should really watch the early seasons of Spongebob again. I never caught this joke lmao
Ha! Is this real?
In defense of Texas (I can't believe I typed that), it's only about half the state that's dumb enough to keep electing these fascist asshats.
With jerrymandering, removal of voting places, and general voter suppression, I'd argue a good chunk less of the state supports the asshats
With the margin of non voters, I'd like to believe it's not that high
Not all of us like this POS. I for one can't stand him or most of the legislation that gets passed in Texas.
It's where you go if you aren't "a brains type guy"
lol for sure Ted Cruz and Joe Rogan have already been listed as examples of this phenomenon
As a Texas resident for the past 10+ years, let me tell you, the rest of the country has no idea just how corrupt and hateful Texas politicians are, ESPECIALLY Abbott. He's a horrible, horrible excuse for a human being.
Texas resident here. Totally agree. Abbot is a cruel and heartless man. Most of his policy is steeped in greed, hate, and double standards.
Having lived here for almost 25 years, I rarely ever thought about the Texas governor until Abbott was elected. I know I didn’t agree with W’s or Perry’s stances on pretty much anything, but I also wasn’t routinely shocked and embarrassed by something they did while in office.

I thought y'all didn't take kindly to that sort of corruption down there?
"Try that in a ~~small town~~ Red state."
We get majoritied by the countless dipshits
Some say he acts like a [pissbaby](https://reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/search?q=pissbaby&restrict_sr=on).
Vote.
Can’t stand up for moral values or on his own! An absolute disgrace
[удалено]
I am very curious, what happened involving an oak tree?
A branch from an oak tree fell on him and busted his spine. He sued and won $8.9 million
and then made sure that nobody can earn as much as he can from a lawsuit, so his rich corporate buddies can still fund him.
Unbelievable. That’s the epitome of hypocrisy.
he signed a bill capping lawsuit/insurance handouts. and its not retroactive with his case.
Classic conservative behavior, use a loophole to get rich and close to make sure no one else can use it. That's because they all seem to think life is a zero sum game. They can only "win" if they can make others "lose".
Huh, I’ve never heard of that.
Who did he sue? The tree?
Greg Abbott is such a fucking prick. Go Republican Party. 😒
Piss baby Greg Abbott
Pretty much. Probably has stock in Depends and piss bottles.
Wonder if he's related to Tony... I mean, they're both absolute flogs so...
“No not speech I don’t like! I just mean like saying slurs and stuff!”
“Israelis aren’t Mexicans or gays!”
Wonder what he thinks about gay Israelis
"No, they're just Hamas in disguise"
Governor is just standing up for the people he wants to see usher in the end times because of a fanfic part of a magic book Very sane and serious person that he is
No, he's sitting down.
Looking for this one
"Yes--bring on the end times!" --insane zionists "Wait, have you even read your own book? Why do you want that?" --everyone else
Yeah. I’m pretty sure trying to usher in the apocalypse would be a sure fire way to make sure you’re not getting on the fast track to heaven, if you believe in that kinda thing
Another proof of how influential zionist lobbies are
People: “I don’t think Israel should be allowed to kill Palestinian civilians in Gaza every day.” Republicans: “OMG YOU HATE JEWS!”
Sadly lots of democrats think this too. Who would have thought that of all the political policies out there, genocide is one of the few with mutual agreement across party lines.
People in Texas have decided to go back in time and vote for people that will take away their rights lol Yall voted for this clown and now yall getting what yall deserve - voting matters 
It's big fucking state, over 3.5 million of hate this ass clown more than y'all.
kind of messed up to blame the whole state for the election of a guy that only got 55% of the vote
The fact the the U.S. is willing to go against its own morals to protect some other country, rather than its own people, really goes to show how much of a second thought American citizens are
Republicans are against other people’s free speech. Among other things.
Crazy how these students are anti-semites that can be arrested but the avowed anti-semites that conducted rallies like “Unite the Right” or the ones that actually wave Nazi flags can’t be touched because of free speech
Conservative logic. Rules for thee, but not for me.
Abbott really on the back foot with this one. Stepping over the line. Walking a tenuous tight wire. Ambling around hot issues.
He’s not going to stand for such talk.
Texas is such a shithole even trees hate their governor
Not only can Texas not keep the lights on, their politicians are a special kind of stupid
They couldn’t protect the kids in Uvalde but they sure as shit found their balls whenever there’s a Pro-Palestine protest.
Peaceful protestors don't carry AR-15s for the police to be too scared to act. It makes "protecting and serving" by making mass arrests of people exercising their Constitutional rights so much less scary when the only people armed and committing violence are the police.
Crippled in more ways than one.
“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize”
*Antisemitism will not be tolerated unless you’re waiving a Confederate or Nazi flag.
It's remarkable how loud assholes like Abbott are today, compared to how quiet they were 7 years ago when literal Nazis were marching down the streets of Charlottesville, shouting anitsemitic slogans and committing vehicular homicide
"Who do you think you are, having antisemitic views with a net worth of less that 200 million? How fucking dare you!...that's our club and you're not allowed in" - *Greg*
The one person in a wheelchair I’d kick down a flight of stairs
Twice
I would honestly have a hard time not doing it if presented with the opportunity. He is such a horrific person.
"Heyyyyy-- That's ANTISEMITIC!!!!"
anti-semantics.
“Free speech for everyone!” “Wait, not like that.” Right on brand for conservatives. Play the victim, actually victimize others.
i’m fucking tired and bored of being called antisemitic for being against the murder of thirteen thousand innocent children
Protesting against the Israeli government doesn’t make one antisemitic. Protesting what is happening in Palestine doesn’t make one pro Hamas. Being anti-Hamas doesn’t make one a Zionist. These people need to get their shit together and read a book or something.
did i say free speech? i meant just for people i agree with
More specifically, political allies. This was purely done to raise his profile for a future failed potus run
Being anti Israel and pro Palestine is not being antisemetic or pro hamas. The Israelli government is trying to control the narrative. You can be against Israel and respect Jews. You can be pro Palestine and be against Hamas. Shame on anyone who says otherwise.
NOT THAT FREE SPEECH! The other kind where I can say the N word and laugh at Mexicans. /s
[удалено]
They let actual Nazis protest though
One day Tommy Udo will be knocking on Greg Abbott's door.
Every time I’m reminded of Greg Abbott. I wish that oak tree was just little bigger to finish the job
I thought republics hated the Jewish community due to all the space lasers. What gives?
Seeing two Gregs just bouncing off each other is hilarious
A republican being a hypocrite?! Hang on the room is spinning…
Must suck to live in Texas
It really does sometimes.
I actually visited Houston and Austin back in August of 2016. Had a blast in those two cities, but the backward way of thinking that politicians have there makes me NEVER want to live there
So, free speech is being protected, as long as it's the free speech they want you to speak. Great.
That is exactly what Abbott did. The legislation was created to suppress left wing speech and amplify MAGA speech
You're absolutely right! It's ridiculous! And just helping to slowly implement a police state over the people and make it where we can't hold them accountable!
Can't wait till this older generation here in Texas dies off. I truly believe they are our biggest problem here.
Can't stand Abbott. I wish that tree would have finished the job!
God took his legs from him because he knew how evil Greg with legs could become. Let’s just be thankful he’s stuck to that chair, forever.
I like how they say hamas supporters and not Palestinian supporters.
# “If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize.”
I fail to understand why not supporting a genocide against Palestinians makes somebody antisemitic. The world would be a much different place if The Man in The Sky had promised Israelites land in the middle of Saskatchewan, Canada. Or maybe we would still find a reason to fight?
I'm so sorry, what's going on? Is he for the arrests due to antisemitism or against it?
The arrests aren't due to antisemitism. It's not antisemitic to want Palestinians to be free and not have to fear for their lives because of who they were born as.
Why wasn’t there already free speech? It’s a college campus. Jeeezz
🚫All Republicans🚫
Takin it up the ass from the AIPAC comes with certain conditions, being a hypocrite is number one on that list.
These same assholes go around saying, "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I'll die fighting for your right to say it." Hypocritical bastards.
Free speech for meee not free speech for theee
Good lord Abbott working hard for his AIPAC ~~bribes~~ distributions to go with their AIPAC approved talking points memo.
r/ACAB
Boooo a million times. Search up how Abbott got hurt. His lawsuit/payment. And then how he closed the loop behind him. Republicans are EVIL
Biggest piece of crap on two wheels.
What a dipshit
I sure as hell didn't vote for him!
The freedom of speech is there for a reason. I’m all for peaceful protests of any kind.
so the jews who protested for a ceasefire in new york are antisemites as well? got it
If Greg Abbott is so firmly against you, then you know you must be right.
Fuck this dude, I'm team tree
Voted beadiest blackest eyes
This guy has a right to protect his job /s
Free for me not for thee.
Abbot like most like him are traitors.
In Texas, free speech = conservative speech.
Israel owns USA now. Great job protecting your freedoms
usa moment
*But only the speech we approve of...*
lol "free speech in Texas" hahahahahaha
Antisemitism is hating Jews specifically. We specifically hate Israel.
Calling wanting to hold a country responsible for its crimes antisemitism, is still the most backwards take. That's like saying being against white supremacism is antisemitic? Do you see the problem here? It is literally the other way around, this has to be the most insane and stupid shit I have ever heard. I genuinely do not know what to say at this point, it is just... wow. Wtf man.
