Remember in 2010s those chuds would post “I am an attack helicopter, it is my gender identity to drop bombs on foreign countries and if you oppose you are transphobic” as malicious trolling?
If you think of it zionist (and I guess ‘vote for 99% hitler or you are transphobic’ liberal) pride is just taking that phrase (or at least the second part) and going ‘this but unironically’.
A thought experiment that came to my head: Say in an alternate timeline Biden is more or less the same or ‘okay’ on other issues but the ‘single issue’ is something else. The Israel-Palestine war either does not happen during his term or he gives a way more convincing 'anti-'genocide response. Instead he is either super pro-life or super transphobic. If the former alternate Biden actively works with republicans to pass bills to restrict abortion access and calls pro-choice protestors who get beaten up pro-baby murder. If the latter alternate Biden actively works with republicans to pass bills to criminalise trans people, calls trans-supportive parents and teachers child molestors and claims Rowling etc. are victims of cancel culture. How would liberals justify this as the lesser evil?

I guess compare them to their enemies? Put the two statements “Russia declared LGBTQ+ as a terrorist movement because the CIA (allegedly) uses LGBTQ+ organisations as fronts for spying” and “Israel kills Palestinian civilians because Hamas (allegedly) hides behind them” together. Ask why they think the latter is morally justified but not the former.
If I ever end up modding my own community I would classify all instances of #1 as a death threat. They want to tell you to go ‘k’ yourself but are too much of a coward to say it out loud.
According to my Sunday and catholic schools babies that die before baptism go to Limbo which is not as bad as hell but also not heaven. If a baby is about to die and there are no priests nearby you are allowed to do an emergency baptism so that they go to heaven.
A few years ago a christian organisation in US did a poll on how aware the christian population was on the church’s teachings or something like that. MoBlack (anarchist-communist anime blogger that wrote many Medium articles breaking apart Shield Hero) pointed out that while people generally answered questions regarding sex and abortion ‘correctly’ (as in they were aware of the church’s stance), when it came to things like “are children born innocent” (correct answer: No. All children are born with original sin because Adam and Eve ate the fruit.) only like 30% could match the church’s stance.
The conclusion he came to was that the super religious people are not actually super religious. They are just very political about their religion.

What about Vietnam war-style booby trapping inside the building? Would that help or will it just injure the students?

It’s not like zionists are having better luck at getting dates themselves

Singapore still does caning in its prisons. Unfortunately Singapore is allies with Israel.
Zionist are just extremely disingenuous. I read Innuendo Studio’s curious cat and every Israel apologist there just talks like they are trying to get him in a gotcha. Some examples that come to mind:
-Keep accusing him of wanting to exterminate Israel or being in the ‘Israel should not exist’ camp when his stand has always been ‘Israel should stop being an aparthied and grant equal rights to Palestinians’
-Accusing him of comparing Jews to nazis (more often than not is other curious cat askers on his page that are comparing Israel, not the Jews, to the nazis). Every time he says ‘Israel is conducting genocide’ these hasbara brigaders jump to accusing him of calling Jews Hitler.
-I remember one user who after Innuendo Studios said that Israel should stop being an ethnostate/ aparthied was like ‘oh so you support soft genocide where one race mixes with another to eventually produce offspring who dont resemble their parents’. When he called this mindset out as nazi shit they, predictably, accused him of calling Orthodox Jews nazis.
-Inventing bullshit hypothetical scenarios that are not happening right now. Like wrt the Ansar Allah blockade one asker was like ‘would you still support them if they were nazis’. Basically what he called Values-Neutral Governance in the You Go High, We Go Low Alt-Right Playbook video.
Snape feels like this stand-in for authority Rowling does not like/ does not want the reader to like, or a cheap plot device to trick readers into accepting Harry’s lack of development. Two things that come to mind:
Philospher’s Stone: After Harry stopped Voldemort from getting the stone he is asking Dumbledore in the infirmary what happened after losing consciousness. Harry asks about the red herrings and Snape’s demeanor that suggest Snape was the true culprit. Instead of something reasonable like “Snape protected you because he is a teacher, it’s his job and there’s a huge difference between being nasty to discourage bad behaviour and wanting to harm you” Dumbledore says that Snape resents Harry’s father and that he helped Harry because he owes something to his father or something like that. Harry thus walks away without having to reexamine his own behaviour.
Prisoner of Azkaban: When Harry sneaked out when he was not allowed to Snape catches Harry and starts interrogating him. The scene felt like we were supposed to see Snape as obstructive and not Harry as being irresponsible for sneaking out to places where he should not be when there is a (alleged) killer that wants him dead on the lose.
Note that these were all in the first few books, way before the incel stuff got introduced.
Instead of ‘never again’ they decide to do it again to Palestine
First they came for the Gazans and… I supported them because I was foolish enough to think it would stop them from coming for me
Yeah I’m sure all the women and LGBTQ+ Palestinians in Gaza appreciate having bombs dropped on them.
I’m sure queer folk in countries the US is bombing appreciate having their public transport, docks and airports destroyed, or the extra military patrols that make it even more difficult to move about. I guess queer folk from anti-LGBTQ countries are expected to just teleport out.
What they are not showing is that riding in the trolley are nazis armed with guns who are more than happy to shoot the black, lgbt etc. folk tied on the republican track as it passes over the democrat track.
Saying “leave if you don’t like your country’s imperialism” is no different from saying “anyone who are not as racist as me should go kill themselves”.
