Oh, and apparently people only support Palestine because “They’re losing.” And “It doesn’t matter whose wrong or right they’re both just fighting for survival. Who cares about supporting either of them.”

Other highlight “Palestine has homophobia built into it’s law. Like Russia.” Said by a cis person too lmao

Hahahaha fuck me I wish I had the energy and skill to school people like this but I just can’t be bothered hahaha I’m so tired.

“Both sides bad” types are even more insufferable than out Zionists sometimes.

    Earlier today, I watched a livestream debate regarding the controversy that this Zionist vegan dude got for making this post. In this debate, he was having a discussion with an anti-Zionist vegan that he invited on, Catherine Klein.

    His arguments were beyond abysmal, and among them was this “Palestinians are homophobic and misogynistic, so that justifies the wrath that Israel is bringing upon them!” pinkwashing type of shit. In addition, he also veganwashed by bringing up the fact that Isn’trael has a relatively high vegan population as a contrast to the fact that Palestinian Arabs are mostly Muslims and Muslims celebrate Eid Al-Adha. I shit you not.

    I didn’t agree with Catherine on everything she said obviously, but I talked to her personally both before and after she had this debate, and I was even able to correct the nature of some of the things she said in a way that she could digest it, like the fact that she ConDEMnEd hamaS.

    Ultimately, she and I obviously agree that this guy’s reactionary bullshit that he tries to spill into the vegan movement is massive amounts of insufferable cringe.

      This reminded me of a comment I saw years ago on reddit (r/vegancirclejerk to be precise) someone was stanning Isntreal because they have a large portion of vegans and attributed the fact to them suffering from the Holocaust and thus understanding how that works within the meat industry.

      Yeah that’s all well and good but they’re literally doing a Holocaust 2 to Palestinians! Liberals and their consequences I swear to fuck

      No thanks, I don’t want honey on my tea, I can’t bring myself to inflict suffering on other living beings. But be quick about it, my break is about to end and I have to get back to sniping racially inferior children.

      Israel is the fourth largest consumer of beef in the world per capita, trailing just behind Argentina, Brazil, and the United States. The average Israeli consumes over 19 kilograms of meat every single year.
