    Guessing you’re German? It is used in place of the Palestinian flag, because it has the same colors. Since Germany is terrified of being labeled antisemitic, (and Israel immediately jumps to “you’re an antisemite” whenever anyone disagrees with them,) the German government has their tongue all the way up Israel’s asshole. So the German government labeled it antisemitic, (and started trying to propagandize their population to believe so as well, by equating it with Nazis) because they don’t want any Germans making headlines by using the emoji to support Palestine.

    I think she said Swiss in another post? There's a lot of cultural cross-pollination

    It's not seen as a nazi symbol in Switzerland (at least in the french-speking part). But off course, the right wing labels everything pro-Palestine as antisemitic, like pretty much everywhere I guess

    Nope, just tired of seeing it get associated with the word "based", bc I know who came up with that association. I think you can sorta deduce my country from that lol

    Just don't combine that with watermelons lol or I'll assume you're cool with nazis (or simply oblivious). Peep the other comment, I explained it briefly.

    e: I guess it doesn't make sense outside of my country so idc that much, just wanted to know the context

    But Palestine is based too.

    I hate the Hitler ate sugar trope, I will appropriate Nazi memes and use them against them all I want.

    It is only as evil as the user wielding them.

    True, it's a bit hard to tell sometimes though, in other contexts that is

    I generally don't believe in inborn discrimination, I don't like punishing people for anything that does not come about as their own actions. I also had a lot of tolerance before, but it backfired. I feel that I need to be a lot more vindicative nowadays.

    If i understand correctly, in Ukraine watermelons equate to nazis?

    Not always, it's the memes combining watermelons with "based" lingo, and for the most part people using them are fine, just not aware that it got started by nazis and is sometimes used as a dogwhistle

    edit: you can draw a parallel to how pepe is used, only the origins and users are flipped in that case

    Tbf this isn't about the holy land. That was part of the "all brown people are extremists" propoganda.

    If land can be holy then the land made by their holiness must be holy. Thus all of earth and beyond should be Jerusalem, and those who live anywhere should need not move but be anywhere to speak and be with such holiness. No land is theirs, all land is his holiness, and land ownership is a spit in the eye of such.

    Stealing from their lord...

    That's been the plan of some all along.

    Collect all jewish peeps there, then have them convert to the new christian messiah, or else boom.

    Not joking.

    Some really have been pursuing that plan.

    Gets rethinking the perception management ploys upon us, eh?

    So it's not really so original a savvy, as much just succumbing to the genocidal psyop.

    Speaks to human selfishness that “nobody gets it” means to nuke it rather than turn it into a wildlife preserve or something…

    Honestly, predicting conflict in the middle east and calling it "prophecy" is hilarious.

    some 3rd century gnostic who was most likely tripping balls while writing Christian fanfic

    If you mean the Revelation, it's a political pamphlet masqueraded as apocalyptic literature, which latter was a popular genre at the time.

    Neutron bomb between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem was my dumb teenage solution to the problem. I hate the idea and how well it has aged

    A neutron bomb is quite the shrewd choice from a teenager.

    But the better solution is to treat religion as an endemic mental illness and find a cure.

    I'm an antirealist. You won't find any evidence for the existence of reality, because using your senses to validate your senses is a fallacy. And while cogito ergo sum is valid, cogito ergo mundus is flawed. So the only remaining reason to believe in an external world beyond the senses is religious tradition. Realism is a religion.

    That wouldn't work though. In Indian they know a certain river is filled with toxic waste, they swim in it because it's holy. I bet that people would still pilgrimage there, just maybe an end of like thing.

    That's different, you aren't guaranteed to die wading through the Ganges. Even with a hazmat suit your time in the irradiation zone is limited before you risk a horrifying, painful and slow death.

    I truely hope english isn't your primary language. Because if it is you don't understand the word toxic. Lethal, deadly, fatal, these words mean something WILL kill you. Toxic CAN kill you in some contexts but really just means "is bad for human health". You seem to think the Ganges and Elephant's foot are of equal levels of danger and that's laughable.
