Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that a heroic Jewish bystander saved Jewish lives during the Bondi Beach massacre by tackling one of the gunmen. In fact, the man who made the heroic intervention is a Muslim of Levantine descent who was shot twice in the process.

Ahmed El Ahmed, from Idlib in Syria according to a relative, went up unarmed against one of the attackers, wrested his gun away and turned it on the terrorist, forcing him to flee, as footage shown by Al Jazeera demonstrates…

      Well you see, zionists are like cheerleaders. Would it be fair to blame the cheerleader for what the football players are doing? /s

        My favourite part of doing this exercise is being jewish and having some rando using bob marley songs to tell me “zionist” is an ethnic slur

        If you tried to make this shit up it would be bad writing

          so maybe don’t use religious term to refer to the actions of a regime?
          no form of zionism advocates for the genocide of a people…. many zionists do, but that’s not zionism
          it’s like calling all muslims terrorists, and then any time there’s a muslim terrorist saying “those fucking muslims! i hate muslims!”

          the genocide is the problem, not zionism in and of itself

            The belief that that land is ours by right, promised to us by an angry man in the sky - aka zionism - is ideological fuel for the genocide we’ve been inflicting on the palestinian people.

            If genocide is the problem, then zionism is a big part of the problem.
