I think this is, in large part, one of the reasons many of these authoritarian types get out of control.
On some level they know whether or not they consider their actions to be illegal that other people will. At some point they anticipate blowback and a lot of their flailing overreach stems directly from trying to get out ahead of any consequences that may come their way.

That would be pretty damning in its own right, right? What is this dude even trying to argue?
It seems like concern trolling. "I'm just worried that people will interpret you hating on this genocidal military as if it's exactly the same thing as calling for the death of an ethnic group because only that ethnic group is allowed to participate in this genocidal military!"
It's such a bizarre argument

Most of the traffic from 4chan was from Israel.
No one in this thread has called for genocide.
The IDF is a criminal terrorist organization. Participation in it is morally reprehensible.
If in order to have a good life you have to murder children standing in bread lines then your idea of a good life is not worth preserving.

It's not hate speech to hate the military of a genocidal apartheid state.
The fact that the military of that state uses conscription to smear shit on everybody who grows up there does not absolve the population from their moral obligation to oppose their government.
Just following orders is a really poor excuse for genocide. You can hate the IDF without calling for genocide. In fact I haven't heard anybody call for genocide in any of these threads except for people supporting the IDF.

But they aren't saying death to Israelis when saying death to the IDF. You have to understand the difference between wishing for genocide upon a group of people and wishing for the end of an institution that does nothing but harm and bad.
It's also worth noting that the only right thing to do for a member of the IDF is to fight the IDF.
They are morally obligated to tear down the infrastructure of genocide that they are a part of.
The only good IDF soldier is the one who is working in earnest to oppose the IDF. All of the rest of them are cowardly garbage human beings who should probably go to the Hague.
A tremendous number of them probably should be hung until death and then buried at sea with no ceremony. People who do what they do should have even their memories killed.

Hopefully the ones that cooperate will eventually face the Hague. We hung a lot of Nazis for just following orders. The IDF should get no special treatment.

The police could learn to keep their distance and stop instigating violence. If you push people they'll push back. If you're armed expect them to not give you a chance to use your weapon.
The lesson here is let people do their peaceful protesting and you won't necessitate violence.
This isn't a right-wing protest, this crowd doesn't want violence, it wants to be heard. This crowd is willing to use violence to ensure it's right to be heard is preserved.
Until I can see some evidence that the unarmed crowd instigated violence against the armed police I'm going to consider the armed police to be the instigators since they showed up armed and then approached a crowd of people who were voicing their opinion.

11 dead but only 8 counts of murder?

Germany is supporting Israel and it's ongoing genocide. You're not in much of a position to shake your finger.
Germany is not doing much better in the anti-Semitism department considering that Palestinians are semites and Germany has made it illegal to criticize Israel.

Yes. In many ways, China is exactly what Republicans wet dream about. A single party runs unopposed controlling all elements of government. Criticizing them is illegal. All businesses are protected by the government from uppity customers. Employees are expected to work 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 6 days a week for few benefits with almost no workers rights..
It's the Republican dream.

It's a great game for couch coop, vs and it works online too.
There isn't too much to discover after you have beaten everything, but it's great fun for any fan of road rash or comical ultra violence.

Road redemption is so much fun and I'm kind of amazed that the guy never made a sequel it seems like it would have been easy enough to keep developing.
