  The account Taylor Swift Updates is run by an Israeli girl that went to prison rather than serve in the IDF

    Why was she suspended on Twitter?

      They don’t let you use twitter in Israeli prison, afaik.

      No clue, sorry.

    I am surprised anyone would actually put someone in jail for draft-dodging in this age. Even countries that haven’t banned conscription yet should have the sense not to make celebrities of those who refuse. The Swiss system (higher tax for refusing) seems more reasonable.

      Higher tax for refusing seems like your giving rich people a pass. Unless it was really graduated to take a much higher percentage of higher income?

        The Swiss rich are already taxed, this would make that higher. Hell most countries tax based on income and iirc the Swiss do to.

    I wonder what twitter.com/LegitTayUpdates did to get their account suspended?

      Probably kept reposting Chocolate Rain.

  The IDF is the Israeli Defense Force, the main military arm of the fascist Israeli government.

  Hamas is bad too before some ass comes along and yells “antisemitism” cause I said Israel sucks.

  • redballooon@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Still factually wrong. The IDF ist Israels military, independent from whether there are currently fascists in the government.

    Preemptive centrism I like it

    source

    • starman2112@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      “War crimes are always bad no matter who commits them” is centrism?

      source

      • Aux@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Any sane opinion is centrism and somehow bad. You are only allowed to commit genocides here!

      • Rivalarrival@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Centrism is selling guns to both sides.

      • doctorcrimson@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        I understand your apprehension to centrism as it tries to normalize uneven sides, but to answer your question yes. The bare definition of centrism is that you don’t align with either side.

    • CileTheSane@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I don’t think it’s centrist to say Fascism and Terrorism are both bad.

      Although I suppose “shitty people are shit” is neither a left wing or right wing take, so maybe it is.

      source

      • Starkstruck@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Frankly, centrism is fine in situations like this where both sides are so blatantly evil.

      Hell no, I’m just not some delusional chronically online tankie that’ll cheer on the deaths of hundreds of civilians. I’m an anarchist. Ideally there’d be no nations to fight over or religions to fight about anymore, but we don’t live in that reality. Hamas committed a massive atrocity. Israel has repeatedly committed atrocities by murdering tens of thousands of civilians

    IDF reservists actually took the step of protesting against the government over recent proposed changes to weaken their Supreme Court. (Source)

    Not what you’d expect “a bunch of fascists” to do. Nearly every Israeli citizen has mandatory military service.

    Surely you’re not labelling an entire population based on the actions of their government?

    • winterayars@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      It turns out you don’t need to be a card carrying true believer in fascism to be a fascist. All you gotta do is stand by while the fascists do what they want.

      Protesting is nice, i guess, but characterizing the Israeli government as “fascist” is pretty fair.

    Finally! A comment that gives out the full name of this stupid abbreviation

    source

    • kboy101222@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Honestly it should be common decency to put the full expanded name if you’re the first one to say it.

      source

      • Destraight@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        I didn’t even know what it meant, because abbreviations are fucking stupid
