Kinda politics, kinda culture. Definitely both. Thoughts?
israeli embassy can fuck off and stop committing genocide
Aw did the mean words hurt them? Israel’s actively ordering bombings of children and shootings of starving mothers. It’s like saying “Death to the wehrmact”
While I agree that the chant might be a bit crass, I think it’s his right to say it. He’s saying the army and what it does is shit, and should suffer. I find it very discouraging that such a statement is called antisemitic. The way you frame it is exactly how I see it, it’s death to the abusers, to the killers, the soldiers. It’s about the violence committed by the army.
It would be as if The Andrew Sisters at a gig in 1943 shouted “Death to the wehrmacht”, and people reacted with “well that’s quite anti-german innit?”. No it’s not, it’s anti Wehrmacht, just like his chant has something specifically to do with the IDF, not with Israelis.
no death to hamas chants?
Hamas isnt murdering children and killing thousands of people. Fuck you 😘
yes they are
Let’s go with some sources.
you have heard of october 7th, potty mouth?
Were they directly murdering children to murder children? Or did they decide they finally had enough of being under the thumb of racists and just went ham?
Death to the IDF
Whataboutism only makes you look small minded, braindead, even. As if team sports is as complicated as your tiny brain can comprehend, and thusly you process all world events as if they’re team sports. You know, like a moron.
it was very brave of them to only call out IDF, so punk
You’re the only one talking about Hamas here.
No “death to Nazis” chants? That obviously makes your point invalid since you didn’t discuss them. (/s, this is the equivalent argument and it’s ridiculously stupid and childish.)
why not mention the nazis or neo nazis?
why mention IDF?
why not mention hamas?
Is it as disturbing as your continued genocide, you maniacal bastards?
Is this how the media would have reacted if you got on stage in the ‘40s and shouted death to Hitler?
Feel like civilians in this country are being held to higher standard for speech than a whole ass Country is being held to for its actions.
Ya but did you ever consider all the morals and values they taught the younger generations, (post boomers and most individuals who were positioned to benefit from the internet boom) was just another weapon used by capitalism? Things like the Golden Rule, protecting those weaker than ourselves, equality, love, etc were lessons those older than us had no intentions of following. They crushed their opponents and ensured no younger generation would ever be powerful enough to overthrow them.
Always have been
Israeli embassy ‘deeply disturbed’
Oh gosh, I am so sorry, nevermind.
You know what is deeply disturbing? Murdering and starving civilians, including children.
So far they have shot 14 people waiting for food today. including 3 children. this is just today, and so far.
I’m deeply disturbed by the genocide the IDF are perpetrating in Gaza.
Thoughts? Death to the IDF.
fuck these dumb ass pigs. they’re killing innocent civillians by the tens of thousands and they want us to feel sympathy for them
i hope every motherfucker in the IDF somehow contracts cancer and suffers for the rest of their miserable lives. fuck these people
Death to piSSrael, Death to the IDF
It’s afraid!
I left America because both major parties form a sinister coalition that is inimical to the interests of the electorate.
Joke’s on me, I guess.
You could’ve done some research before (presumably) moving to the next best example of such a thing in the world
I did! Turns out I’m a real person in reality, so my options were limited.
Yeah, I’m sorry, didn’t mean to come across so snarky to you, I really just wanted to rag on England (specifically)
I left the UK (not from there originally) because I didn’t like it there, but I’d still move there from the USA
I never thought England was a perfect place, but at least there is something resembling a social fabric and it’s possible to live car-free.

Whilst I’ll never agree with such chants, see the thing is whilst this embassy official might not give two shits about the amount of wanton death being inflicted by the IDF, others do.
Why the fuck not?
Agree with such chants?
You start your chart with ‘death to…’ then you’re playing the wrong game.
israel committing genocide in gaza is a game?
I’m not playing games. Are you that concerned about the feelings of Nazis?
It’s an expression fgs. I care not about the feelings of Nazis. I do, however, care a lot about how far we are willing to degrade ourselves in order to defeat them.
And aside from anything else, you are just helping the enemy with this kind of utterance. Look what’s happened since, it’s been turned into 1) a big stick to smash the bbc with 2) calls to legislate on artistic freedoms 3) antisemitism the topic of the day everywhere again. What about 4 and 5? 4) raise awareness of the genocide 5) actually help palestinians in a more tangiable way
How did we do on 4 and 5?
Well I tell you what’s a more interesting question, because if they had just said ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘send your aid money here’ or even ‘stop the genocide’ or something similarly not technically illegal to broadcast, then how different would 4 and 5 be to what they are now? because they’d come without the expense of 2, maybe not 3 either, and as for 1, the BBC would actually have a leg to stand on defending themselves.
So why spoil it for everyone and take two big steps backwards? How about we use language that doesn’t make us sound no better than they are?
I am ‘deeply disturbed’ by nazionism.
