      yeah its been ‘fun’ talking about this on Lemmy and Reddit at the same time.

      On reddit, I’m an anti-semite. On lemmy, I’m a racist zionist.

      In reality I understand the paradox of tolerance extends to fundamentalist abrahamic religions, which are all intolerant themselves, and therefore should not be tolerated.

      Good. This place is less captured by the bot swarms. There’s less room for JIDF hate bots.

      Fortunately none of it is real here.

    This Onion article seems to be really enjoyed by people that just don’t seem to have the balls to scream loudly „you totally deserved that terror attack Israel“ into the social media world.

      It’s miraculously possible to have a more complicated opinion on the conflict than one side good other side bad.

        The Onion Article does exactly what you claim is wrong: Sarcastically siding with Israel in a mock article while mockingly claiming they are having Ted Kacinsky as an Editor on board that wouldn’t let them do otherwise.

        As some people do not seem to understand sarcasm at all: they mean the opposite of what is stated.

          In moments of turmoil such as this, some believe it is the responsibility of a newspaper of record like The Onion to delve fully into the nuances of a complex and multifaceted conflict that stretches back not just decades but centuries. These people are wrong.

          There’s the thesis. Pretty plainly stating, to translate the satire, that news should be taking a nuanced approach which recognizes no easy answers.

          It’s not saying Israel is wrong alone, it’s saying that’s just the easy hand wave call for violence that is mainstream.

          Notably it’s also not saying Palestinians and more pressingly hamas are right.

          So no, the onion article is not doing what I think is wrong.

      Why would I have the balls to wish death on civilians? Seems like a super shitty thing to do. I don’t want civilians to die on either side, so I guess that makes me the bad guy in your eyes.

      True, there must be a counter article from Fox news for the people who think this attack happened out of the blue and for no reason at all.

        What the fuck are you talking about? Where have I cheered the death of civilians - them being Palestinians OR Jews?

        Maybe you should keep your own mouth shut Edgelord.
