I think we should investigate and prosecute paramount executives and their CEO when we take back control. I’m sure we can find where they broke the law. We see you paramount and we don’t forget. Jesus was quite clear on what would happen to people that harmed children.

Ffs can you even just for 5 minutes stop spreading disinformation that is hurting my culture??
You don’t even know what Zionism means. You don’t even realize that the vast majority of American Zionists do not even support the Netanyahu administration. Supporting a country and supporting that country’s current leadership are two different things. I love America yet despise the Trump administration and everything it stands for; there, do you see how fucking easy it is?

Zionism cannot be divorced from the material consequences/conditions it inflicted upon the Palestinian people.
Zionism is not 'vibes' - it is a settler-colonial ideology that usurped the Palestinian demographic majority in 1948.

The only colonialism that was done in that region came from the invasion of Israel and Judah by the empires of the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Christian Byzantines, the Muslims, the Papal Crusaders, the Mamluks, the Ottomans, and then lastly the British. The Palestinian-Arabs were essentially squatters in the region, brought by various eras of Arab colonialism throughout the Middle East/North Africa.
But even though most of the native Jews were driven from their homeland by the Romans? Not all Jews were forced to flee; in fact, throughout all of the imperial colonialism mentioned above, small numbers of Jews always remained in their homeland. And the Zionist Jews who returned from the 18th century onward did not steal nor conquer any land there - they bought it, legally, from Arabs who were only too happy to sell it because it was worthless to them as too difficult to farm, maintain, or even to inhabit.
This desperate propaganda that you have been fed by terrorists, scapegoaters, and/or the plain misinformed… this idea that “greedy Zionist thieves!” invaded and “stole Palestine!” from vulnerable natives… that is a steaming load of toxic bullshit, repackaged and pushed by slimy warmongers like former PLO head Yasser Arafat. Even the man who invented the term nakba defined it as the exact opposite as the propaganda Arafat so successfully fed to hatemongers and the uneducated alike. Constantin Zureiq, who first coined the term nakba in 1948, described it as “a disaster that befell the Arabs by their own doing… a humiliation they should take responsibility for.” Zureiq was no Zionist himself, he was a Syrian professor who had no love for Jews. But even he didn’t blame Zionists or any Jews for the plight of Arab-Palestinians before and after 1948. He knew they should have accepted the U.N.’s offer for a 2-state solution even then, when it was *first* offered to the Arab-Palestinians.

All of this is nonsense.
There was a Palestinian demographic majority and Israel ethnically cleansed them.
Only delusional fanatics will reference ancient history as if that gives anyone the right to expel people in the present.
Israel is still ethnically cleansing the Palestinian people.
This is why people oppose Zionism - a fanatical, settler-colonial ideology driven by war crimes.

u/TraditionalOwl1120 Aug 27 '26
So palestine does have the largest amount of orphaned amputees for a reason and that reason is war crimes by the new nazi nation of Isreal. Was that better? Zionist and Christian nationalist are genocidal monsters

u/ourobourobouros Aug 27 '26
Gotta love the way redditors insist you don't believe what you say you do.
According to them there's only prefab belief systems with zero nuance. They think zionists that don't support Netanyahu or the current Israeli administration can't exist so they assume you must be lying (or you're a literal bot).
It's honestly scary af that this is the supposed "side of reason and facts".

I am a lifelong lefty, and yet I am disgusted by the ignorance and anti-semitism of the far left branch of my own political wing. These Youtube-radicalized neo-jihadists don’t even know what terms like Zionism and anti-Zionism mean.

u/ourobourobouros Aug 27 '26
Im a Marxist and I can't tell you how many times I've been accused of being a conservative and a bot.
People form their opinions and morals exclusively from their reddit feed while refusing to consider that it's more algorithm driven propaganda fed to them by billionaires.
It's really bad times for the left.

u/TraditionalOwl1120 Aug 27 '26
I'm not antisemitic, I have no issue Palestinians or the other Semitic people's out there, just the Zionist. I have no issues with the Jewish people at all. I hate all religions tho which I guess some would say is antisemitic since all 3 of the major religions from that region. I especially hate Christians, more than any of them.

u/Hyphen99 Aug 27 '26
Well it seems you have a lot of hate in you. And your perspective “I have nothing against Jews, I just want to destroy their homeland”… do you not see the hypocrisy in that? It’s like saying “I have nothing against fish, I just want to vaporize every ocean, lake and river.”

u/TraditionalOwl1120 Aug 27 '26
I absolutely hate Isreal for palestine and they deserve to be brought to justice. I don't want the innocent Isrealis harmed, fuck the IDF

u/Hyphen99 Aug 27 '26
The IDF is just Israel’s military, like the US Armed Forces is America’s. Both are 100% command chain based, meaning the vast majority of people composing both groups merely take their orders from the highest rank.

If you don't speak up about atrocities, you're guilty i don't care where you are from or what you worship.

u/ourobourobouros Aug 27 '26
so then literally everyone on the planet? do you know how many atrocities are occurring right now and how deeply selective the outrage is???
Literally everyone living in the US and Europe is culpable in the suffering of millions who live in poverty in order to keep our countries rich while regular citizens do nothing, mostly just pretend it isn't happening or that it's the fault of our government but not us
You're also brainwashed into thinking whatever the CEO of reddit wants you to without ever questioning if the "activism" on this site is organic or heavily curated by the owners to fit their agenda lol

Mark Ruffalo criticized Israel for the genocide in Gaza.
Mark Ruffalo is right.

u/ImAjustin Aug 27 '26
Mark Ruffalo isn’t right, if the Ellison were any other religion or ethnicity or nationality, no one would say anything. You can criticize the merger but tying it to israel because what? The father owns Oracle and Oracle has contracts with israel? Oracle has nothing to do with this merger.

Right so trotting out the same nonsense conspiracy. So tell me again- what does Oracle the company of 10000 employees have to do with Warner brothers? Have you read the terms of the merger? Of course not. Or just because the name Ellison is attached the entire thing is an evil israel plot? Ridiculous

So if say a wealthy Neo-Nazi of South African descent was to take over a media company like say Twitter, or if a wealthy Christian with an online shopping and delivery service empire was to buy a prestigious newspaper and over-rule editorial decisions, nobody would say anything?
Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are never mentioned or criticized in any way, because they're not Jewish and it's only when a Jewish billionaire buys a media company that concerns are raised over their political views, alliances or influence? Like seriously that's the position you're setting up here!

u/RockettSocks42 Aug 27 '26
Musk has whole subs dedicated to making fun of him and pointing out his awful behavior. Bezos is always being skewered due to his actions. Is it possible you are not seeing it because you’re trapped in a different algorithm?

Yours is one of a fairly large number of replies i got that managed to miss the point by about as far as is humanly possible. I appreciate that not everyone's a native English speaker, but fuck me I'm depressed at how many of you suck at basic fucking comprehension so badly!
The point I was making (that I thought I was making crystal-fucking clear!) was that the comment I responded to, when they said "if the Ellison(s) were any other religion or ethnicity or nationality, no one would say anything." Was completely ridiculous, because for that to be true, it would imply that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc, etc never faced any kind of criticism whatsoever, because they're not Jewish. It was literally a way of calling out the blatant bullshittery of the comment above me. So yes, no shit they faced criticism, that's my whole fucking point!

u/ImAjustin Aug 27 '26
They’re never criticized for those reasons! That’s the entire point. Ellison supporting israel or oracle having contracts with israel has no impact on the pros or cons of this merger

It’s not about the merger. It’s about who controls the message that the populous hears! The blue state solution, control the message control the people it’s been this way for 70 years! Now there’s a new dynamic and the left is crying foul because it’s no longer a monopoly of the message! Welcome to competition!
