Don’t forget the tourists immediately sent out a tweet about the shooting and ended it by saying ‘death to arabs’
Is it racist to censor out the word Israeli? Fucking bizarre
Israeli isn’t a race last time I checked
There were no human races last time I checked. It’s strange that English is still saying people are a certain race.
Because the meanings of words can shift over time, and in English, the word “race” now has two different (though slightly related) meanings.
Well, three, if you include car races…
biologically no, but socially white supremacy is very much a thing and so is race. Israelis can be of any race therefore a blanket statement of racism against them is nonsensical since Israeli is a nationality not a race
biologically no
Biologically still kinda yes in that most of the world was mostly reproductively isolated from each other for most of history, and as such something as hypothetically meaningless as skin color correlates with likelihood of a whole array of other genetic things.
For example, the bigger a threat malaria was in your ancestors’ part of the world the more likely you are to inherit sickle cell (which has a bunch of downsides but also makes you resistant to malaria). It’s the reason frequency of lactose tolerance varies based on where your ancestors are from. It also impacts organ transplant availability, because the organ compatibility markers are not uniformly distributed across all racial/ethnic groups.
none of the things you just listed are physical traits that race depends on. it’s purely based on perceived phenotype
Right, but because most of humanity has been mostly reproductively isolated from each other for most of history there is a correlation between expressed phenotype in the handful of things that we think of as “race” and a boatload of other assorted genetically linked things.
Like how dogs with certain eye colors are more likely to go deaf.
What the fuck does it matter? The last I checked, taking a flippant joke as serious and literal is pointless and just makes you look bad.
maybe try being funny next time
Lol the refrain of people like you: iT wAsNt FuNnY
Your comments scream “I’m really into Reddit”
we’re on Lemmy so it doesn’t take an Edward Snowden to figure that out. great job champ
It’s more about the tone and general aloofness. Now, please go away
I’m still unclear what an Isli tourist is.
Das ist verboten.
It’s to try to stop brigading on other social media. There’s credible evidence that points to bot farms searching for anti-Israeli/Zionist posts and targeting them.
Hmm alright, that would make sense too
Mods can we clean up this guys language? /s
American - check Israel supporter - check Two of the worst types of “people” in the world.
,
“Officer if I had known they were not Palestinian of course I would have never shot them.”
“My mental health only deteriorates near Muslims!”
“And that is why Muslims are dangerous!”
Fixed that for ya bub
Blocked for the censored word, we must not tolerate this horseshit.
Ya I down vote every censored post.
Mr. Tischler said that his client had “no prior history of violent or hateful behavior” and that he was cooperating with law enforcement. His client acknowledged the seriousness of the charges, he said, but had not been able to control his actions.
“At the time of the incident, Mr. Brafman was experiencing a severe mental health crisis which caused him to be in fear for his life,” the lawyer said in a text message to The New York Times. “It is believed that his ability to make sound judgments was significantly compromised.”
Like like they’re maybe trying to avoid the hate crime charge via an insanity plea…?
Yeah. What else is he supposed to say? The guy basically told the cops “Here’s exactly what I did. Also, I meant to kill them, because of their race.” Basically, all he can do is threaten to make them waste resources by dragging out the case as much as he can, to increase leverage to get as merciful a plea deal as possible.
I believed my health insurance claim would be denied and I was in fear of my life

And people say there is no poetic justice in the world.
These people deserve each other ❤️
