I'm sure they've got conspiracy theories to cover that.

That is why I call everyone who doesn't like video games a nazi.

This is true, They didn't even have Nintendos

If Hitler had a Nintendo I bet WWII would never have happened.

The real master race was Excitebike.

This is a really weird angle but I guess what else can you expect from a guy who loves finding rage bait of people being antisemitic so he can feel better about Israel committing genocide

You conflating Jews with Israel is disingenuous and racist as fuck. I am not even addressing that statement that is off topic.

I've never heard of a Ralph baer console, is that like atari?

The Magnavox Odyssey, which was released even before Pong.

You conflate them all the time when you use instances of antisemitism to defend Israel's heinous crimes like some kind of lesser evil. Antisemitism and Zionism can both be bad.

I'm surprised TC's managed to keep this alt away from the banhammer for so long, tbh.

It's a topic about the inventor of console gaming being Jewish and people start ranting about Israel.
That's pretty fucking depraved to me.
Try that sort of unhinged racist shit w/ literally any other ethnic minority and the mods would actually do something about it, but for some reason when it's Jews it's ok.

"I don't hate Jews, I just don't like what Israel is doing. Which is why I bring up Israel in any discussion about any Jewish person."

In a vacuum, that'd be the case, but based on TC's posting history you can read between the lines and know that when he says "antisemitism," he means being at all critical of Israel. He's got a pretty extensive history of not only making no distinction between being pro-Holocaust and being against nuking Gaza, but pushing back against efforts to do so. These responses are in response to that history, not to what's immediately at hand.

No joke, there was another inventor Edison really fucked over.

He mysteriously vanished and Edisons company somehow came up with an improved invention after the guy was trying to say Edison and company took his invention.

Then there is the famous Tesla getting screwed by Edison.

I don't really need to. You've already expressed such delightful views as (and these are near-direct quotes) "If Israel were bad they wouldn't have given Palestinians advance warning before they bombed their homes into oblivion" and "sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice civilians to fight evil." You've made it clear that your vision of "happiness for all people" in this context is for all Palestinians to find somewhere else to live and let Israel take over unimpeded and that you feel any suggestion to the contrary is "antisemitic."

I never said criticism of Israel is antisemitic.

The Union never did a two state solution with the confederacy. Palestinians should have the right to happiness and all but Hamas is the problem.

i dont oppose a two state solution. I just think its naive with Hamas as an acting party

The Union never did a two state solution with the confederacy.

The Union also never forced all the confederates to leave the country after their victory, nor did they destroy their homes and build new settlements on land stolen from them, nor did they treat them as second-class citizens under the law.

Not to put too fine a point on it or anything.

"Look at these poor Israeli diplomats that have to justify their genocide to the UN because those idiots at the UN don't know what their 'Never Again' badges mean."

At every turn since the most recent eruption of open war, you've been quite clear that you believe anyone critical of Israel's actions (actions which include wholesale slaughter of civilians, destruction of critical civilian infrastructure, deliberately engineering one of the worst refugee crises in recent memory while actively impeding efforts to provide humanitarian aid, and other blatant war crimes) is doing so because they're antisemitic, not because Israel's government (which is notably very distinct from Jews as an ethnic collective) is comprised of genocidal maniacs and people don't like that. You've been handwaving atrocities and digging as hard as you can for silver linings in an apparent effort to garner sympathy for Israel (who doesn't deserve it) and Jewish people (who do deserve it, but generally already have it among the circles where you're saying these things).

If that hasn't been your intent, consider this a wake-up call that you need to re-evaluate how you've worded things and how you interpret situations in which people are critical of Israel, because that is the position you've been communicating.

Palestinians should have the right to happiness and all but Hamas is the problem.

Hamas isn't the one forcing Palestinians to line up for hours every morning to cross checkpoints to get to work. Hamas isn't the one expropriating Palestinian's homes and inviting Jewish immigrants to come take them. Hamas isn't the one forcing babies to be delivered in the mud at the side of the road because pregnant women in labour haven't been able to get through checkpoints fast enough to reach hospitals.

Hamas is *a* problem, absolutely, but they are not the only barrier to Palestinian happiness. Brutally oppressive apartheid policies that punish innocent civilians simply for being born the wrong race ensure that's not a readily attainable goal. Those policies are, in many ways, why Hamas exists: The dogmatic nature of the conflict in the Middle East and the grossly unfair way in which Israel was created mean there will likely always be antisemitic extremists one way or another, but it would be a lot harder for those extremists to gain traction against an Israeli government that treated Palestinians as equals than against an Israeli government that gives Palestinians a legitimate reason to hate them (hatred which, in turn, victimizes innocent Israeli citizens).

Imagine comparing the confederacy, who broke off of from the union of their own volition so they could continue to own slaves and then lost a war, to Palestinians, who had external forces tell them okay you're going to now get only these subsections of your land and no real government and then had their neighbors systematically and gradually abuse them for 70 years

I don't even know what point you thought you were making but if the point was "the union wasn't ready to just let the confederates keep owning slaves and Israel isn't ready to just let Hamas stick around", then that's very racist because the confederacy was founded on slavery, so this looks like the "all of Palestine is Hamas" crap that Israeli propaganda pushes

I will word things better in the future everyone but I never meant any critique of Israel makes someone anti semitic.

A lot of people use critique of Israel to covertly be antisemitic.

I am not Jewish and many Jewish people are far more critical of Israel than I am.

Regarding the confederate comparison it is because in Palestine run by the terrorist organization Hamas, the LGBTQ community among others such as the female community are persecuted severely.

Maybe Israel could use other tactics but remember what America did after 9/11 when tensions were high.

btw most of Israel is against Netanyahu and saying Israel shouldnt exist is ludicrous which is what people mean when they say no to Zionism.

If I was Palestinian and I was offered shelter in a 1st world country with a better life ahead I would take it just saying

The vast majority of Israel and Palestine are good people. I am not saying two state solution should be off the table I just dont think its the answer.

Btw all my fellow Americans whining about Israel Give your land back to native Americans... Just because wrongs happened in the past does not mean future wrongs should happen and Israels existence has had a net benefit on humanity when you look at all the tech coming from there

But if Israel intends to remain Jewish, then a two state solution is the only solution. There is no other way.

there's also the 3 state solution which MAY have a fair chance at working

why are you obsessed with shipping out the Paleistinians halfway across the world but not Israelis? Israel is the colonizer agitator in the region and they have a lower population

sure just elect me God-Emperor of the United States and I'll get right on that, because calling out the terrible treatment of native americans is something you can do alongside opposing Zionism. probably the most fucked up thing america has ever done is the mass sterilization of native american women under the guise of healthcare, which is a quiet genocide
