Socialism

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

The Arabs want Israel gone and the Jews killed

I don't appreciate your casual racism.

And I don't appreciate your lack of knowledge of the history of the conflict. It's been Arabs vs. Israel for every single war between them. The "Arab Liberation Army" (look up the logo, and yes, Arab not Palestinian) was one of the first major armies fighting Israel. The non Jewish people in the area that was the Mandate for Palestine considered themselves Arabs and not Palestinian. After the Liberation War it was the Arabs that expelled the Jews from their lands. Iraq, Jordan, Yemen and others suppressed and expelled their Jewish population after losing the war against Israel. Calling people racist for calling out Arabs for their antisemitism is laughable at best.

'The Jews' are not committing war crimes in Gaza, the IDF is. Assigning actions of a related political body to an entire ethnic group is racism.
