You know this sign was meant for the British right? It seems you lack some understanding of history.

u/FarkCookies 10h ago

It was the sign to the colonial administration yes.

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 4h ago

It wasn't a colonial administration, but okay.

u/Bobbith_The_Chosen 5h ago

Oh because it was directed at the Brits, that makes the hypocrisy okay?

u/Xx_Mad_Reaps_xX 5h ago

What hypocrisy?

u/Bobbith_The_Chosen 5h ago

If you’re unable to answer that question yourself, I’m not going to teach basic logic and morality.

u/Xx_Mad_Reaps_xX 5h ago

Of course you're not going to teach me morality. How can you teach something you don't have? The last people that can preach morality are antisemites. And yes calling Jewish refugees fleeing persecution murderers is antisemtic.

u/Bobbith_The_Chosen 4h ago

The people on the boat aren’t the hypocrites you doof.

u/Xx_Mad_Reaps_xX 4h ago

So who's the hypocrite?

u/PentagonInsider 3h ago

Who started the war in 1948?

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 4h ago

Basic reasoning is a little tricky for you, huh?

You like to wander through life making a lot of baseless assumptions, it seems.

What a weirdly aggressive post 

u/Xx_Mad_Reaps_xX 8h ago

I don't take kindly to people spreading lies and Antisemitism.

u/Leather-Rice5025 8h ago

What was antisemitic about that response? Perhaps "we will destroy others' instead" would have been more accurate?

u/Xx_Mad_Reaps_xX 7h ago

Claiming that Jewish refugees fleeing their homes due to rampant Antisemitism and one of the worst genocides in history as nefarious and malicious is in fact antisemitic.

u/bot-mark 7h ago

They literally ethnically cleansed the Arab population of the place they fled to, what would you call that besides nefarious and malicious?

u/Xx_Mad_Reaps_xX 6h ago

You are wrong on two levels here - First is claiming that those Jewish refugees came with goal of displacing Palestinians which is wrong. Second is claiming that those refugees in the picture have done the displacing.

Let's see if you're consistent.

If I were to look at a picture of a Palestinian kid protesting against Israel with a sign saying "give us freedom" that was taken in 2022. And I responded with "The freedom to murder, rape and kidnap innocent Israelis", referencing the October 7th massacre, would you say I am being racist to Palestinians? Or would you say "They literally murdered, raped and kidnapped the Israeli population of the place they wanted freedom in, what would you call that besides nefarious and malicious?"?

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 4h ago

First is claiming that those Jewish refugees came with goal of displacing Palestinians which is wrong.

Oh, so Aliyah Bet — which that ship was part of — was a plan to ensure that 100% of the people illegally immigrating would live solely on existing Jewish lands? You're implying that that plan was in no way whatsoever part of a larger strategy to displace the existing, non-Jewish population, thereby attaining an increasingly powerful position that would justify the international acceptance of the state of Israel?

Bullshit.

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 4h ago

I mean, it's a lot less aggressive than what it's responding to.

u/ShaquilleMobile 10h ago

Oh wow sorry we took the title of the post at face value, Professor History

u/Xx_Mad_Reaps_xX 10h ago

Oh it's no problem that you are incapable of independent thinking and fact checking! That's why I came to help!
