  • It seems to be a bit of both. The article does cite a lot of comments agreeing with what the older relatives said and getting a bunch of likes. So some people are laughing at how horrible and racist it is, but some are laughing at the unapologetically saying what we’re all thinking aspect.

    A lot of racist jokes are just people saying their biases out loud and unapologetically, and then the racists laugh because they agree, and they get to affirm those beliefs. You might get some people on the other side laughing at the absurdity, but for the people of the race being made fun of, it just feels like the attack it is. Especially when the subject is serious and you can’t distance yourself from it, and nothing is more serious than genocide.

    Like if you showed these to a Palestinian child they’d probably become depressed and scared by it. If you showed these to a boomer israeli they would probably laugh at it and say they’re right.






  • Idk if you know this but there is a ceasefire right now. Most of the protests i went to were in response to some escalation or atrocity: new “aid” package being sent, expansion of the war into Rafah, expansion into Lebanon, ground forces going in etc. People tend to protest against escalation events but we are currently in a period of deescalation.

    You should expect to see them again in response to trump’s latest proposal, it’s not going to happen overnight since this came out of nowhere, or when the first phase of the ceasefire expires and people protest to keep it going.

    Also wtf is this aneurysm posting “it went from free Palestine to the Rivera of the middle east in 16 days” what does that even mean? And they say the pro-palestine people are bots.
