It's been BS from day one, starting with how opposing a horrific genocide makes us anti-semitic. We can't fall for it.

Anti semitic now means anti genocide ... change the narrative

gypsy33's avatar

Hi Db

Even though the term is being employed in current lexicon, I’m getting just a LITTLE BIT MOTHERFUCKING SICK of the term “antisemitic”. Someone please explain to me how the current nest of occupiers are actually Semitic. Meilekowsky anyone?

I on the other hand, am an actual true Semite, Palestinian w/ some Moorish tossed in.

If you’re antisemitic, that means you’ve got a bone to pick with the likes of me.

Why do Jews object to the term “anti-Jew”? Do they think that describing themselves as “Semites” makes them more relevant?

Meilekowsky-- Polish Ashkenazim -- as European, and far whiter -- than my Sicilian half which got genes from everyone who sailed the Mediterranean. I claim more Semitic blood than that guy too, dear gyp, just by virtue of who "stopped by" Sicily for a bit of "in vino veritas".

Vin our ancestors partied together and you know what that leads to 😁

Well Vin you know how those Arabs and Italians are 😉

Ummmm. Could that be ummm procreation, gyp?

ALL eyes on Northern Cyprus now.

IF you don't know the British Empire has a Base there. They are allowing these BARBARIC Zionist Jews into Cyprus/

The Greek Cypriots are having to deal with these MALIGNANT beings.

Send them to the UK! Fuck this I am tired and pissed off with Europe BUT above all Starmer who doesn't want these people.

I am exhausted!

I am fighting in Europe: These stupid 'stooges; in Europe.

COME ON EUROPE let these Barbaric Israelis in.........let us see how you cope?

gypsy33's avatar

Jenny: send’em here to Michigan. Our large Arab/Muslim population will deal with ‘em 😉

JennyStokes's avatar

YOU really believe we can do this Gypsy?

Barry Nichols's avatar

I don't believe they would, at least not with violence.

Vin LoPresti's avatar

What is it with the British and Israel, Jenny. WWII guilt? Realization of some other intrinsic societal self-devaluation? I don't get it. They're like a step even beyond the US in facilitating these monstrosities.

JennyStokes's avatar

The GREAT British have a problem with everyone, always working deceitfully joining wars underhandedly etc. The only plausible reason for me Vin is they lost THE EMPIRE and generations later they want it back by whatever means.

Despicable people which is why we left 42yrs ago.

Davina's avatar

That's telling them, girl. You have more right to call them antisemites than they have to call you one.

They have usurped everything everywhere they go, there's nothing authentic, not one mini iota of authenticity anywhere in Usrael, except that they are murderers of babies. A distinction no one else would want.

gypsy33's avatar

Thank you my friend. Those fuckin’ imposters have a lot of goddamn nerve calling themselves Semites while they’re trying to eliminate TRUE Semites.

They even try to co-opt our Arabic dishes, referring to hummus as “Israeli” 😂😂😂😂

Yeppers! One does not ‘reason’ with political criminals. They are to be put on trial and made to answer for their deeds.

Ditto for enablers.

“The genocide in Gaza has not stopped because it’s lucrative. It’s profitable for far too many. It’s a business people have exploited . . . there are corporate entities — including from Palestine-friendly states who have for decades made businesses and profits out of the economy of the occupation”.

I knew nothing about this Smedley Butler. Now this woman, Francesca, is one of her kind. All hats off for her.

Vin LoPresti's avatar

She is, indeed. Butler was an American general of the WWI era, ultimately an anti-imperialist, who came to his senses and is credited with the realization and anti-war book: "War is a Racket".

Thank you, Vin. I love how you said he "came to his senses". That says so much.

Thank you Caitlin.

Their words are hollow and signify nothing but the echoes inside a moral vacuum.

We,the people, have the weight of history behind us and we are not going to relent in our pursuit of truth and justice.

As for the rest,they are busy fashioning the hand cart that they will all go to hell in.

At another level, this is about bankers and their fiat currency fraudulent businesses.

All courtesy of economist James Buchanan, protegé of Charles Koch, so that the US would stop spending the national output on better infrastructure and taking care of their populace and instead divert it to making the very rich even richer. And for that Buchanan was awarded a Nobel prize.

Chang Chokaski's avatar

Oh boy, another misled soul that thinks fiat currencies (instead of the system of CAPITALISM) is the problem. Guess what? Gold, digital currencies, etc. are not going to solve your problem either, and neither will the 'system of barter'.

:Stuart-james.'s avatar

If the value of the fiat currency is zero, which, it can only be … it must be fraudulent ! No excuses.

Chang Chokaski's avatar

Dude - do you use fiat currency CURRENTLY to buy (and maybe sell) things and survive?

Keep on assigning 'whatever value you wish' to whatever 'methods of exchange of value you wish', it still doesn't change the FACTS that YOU yourself need 'fiat currency' to survive.

If the value of fiat currency is Zero, why do YOU accept it as methods of payment/income/reimbursement/etc. for yourself? Obviously it has value to you. If it didn't, you wouldn't be using it (unless you like 'value-less' tokens of exchange for whatever reason).

Seriously, what YOU think about 'the value of fiat currencies' is irrelevant. Why? Simple - because OTHERS (i.e. humans and systems) DO place value in it.

So you can yell from the 'top of your lungs' for the 'rest of your life' about how 'fiat currencies have no value', since it has value to other people, and no one is listening to your 'value system' just as not many people are listening to the 'lies of the Israelis and Zionists'.

:Stuart-james.'s avatar

Ok, if a fiat currency merchant offers you a loan, ask them to validate the value and they can’t.

They then proceed to practice usury on their loan. That holds no valid value. For them to receive payments on the usury is simple fraud. Doesn’t matter the percentage,it’s still thieving.

The only time fiat currency is valid is in exchange for direct labour, and the currency can be further exchanged for other goods.

Chang Chokaski's avatar

>>"Ok, if a fiat currency merchant offers you a loan, ask them to validate the value and they can’t."

I don't need to ask them (or have a need to) for any such thing.

It's simple really. In our modern financial system, entries are made in digital ledgers (for ALL banks - central banks, private banks, public banks, mom-and-pop banks, bookies, sports-betting businesses, lending businesses, savings-and-loans banks, credit unions, etc.)

>>"The only time fiat currency is valid is in exchange for direct labour"

Again, that is YOUR definition. The world doesn't work according to YOUR definitions.

There is a difference between 'usury' and 'loans' and 'credit and debt systems'.

That you haven't figured this out yet may be why you are struggling with understanding financial systems and your 'inability to understand' that 'other people and institutions find value in systems and processes that you don't'.

:Stuart-james.'s avatar

People confuse the difference of money and currency. One holds value the other doesn’t!

:Stuart-james.'s avatar

The so called modern financial system is bullshit that works for fiat currency scam merchants and thieves. Just because it works for a minority does not validate it to be used for all. These scam merchants also destroy any competition via war and murder of those they consider a threat to their business. The finance of war is easy just print and tax. This criminal system also creates financial fictitious debts on the majority. It is a complete abomination that creates debt slaves.

Chang Chokaski's avatar

You're mixing, confusing, and conflating different systems and 'different purposes of different systems' all into ONE 'grand theory' - which seems to have become YOUR narrative.

YOUR narrative (and YOUR beliefs) are not universal (or universally believed, accepted or acknowledged). You seem to enjoy creating YOUR definitions, YOUR interpretations, YOUR whatever so that you can build (and believe) YOUR narratives.

It really is THAT simple!

:Stuart-james.'s avatar

If a loan of fiat currency cannot show a valid value, relative to a material that is owned by the source offering the loan, then the loan is corrupt. If the loan is subject to the practice of usury, then the loan is fraudulent and the beneficiaries are parasites on society. Only if the loan is valid and the loan isn’t returned does it become a debt. There is no debt value on a none-valid loan of fiat currency.

It is very simple and would make a huge difference to finance for all.

:Stuart-james.'s avatar

There is nothing wrong with a fiat currency system that is accountable, but contemporary finance isn’t accountable. The biggest growth industry is the arms industry, because the finance costs nothing to those that sell. The liability of cost of purchasing is the tax payers. I call it tax fraud, because the wealth of the sale goes to the scam merchants and bankers.

I wonder how much of the Israel ‘support’ displayed on social media is propagated by Israeli operatives, AI, and the ever shrinking population of boomer shitlibs and Christian end of times cultists? There is hope if the next generation can think critically and has a positive outlook of the human species

Thank you as always for being so clear. You basically set up the framework of my thoughts about the war crimes they are committing. Are, not have. As people are distracted by other attacks, false flags, they keep committing crimes.

There is no discussion, no moral ground, no justification.
