@@massinissaamazigh1ertamurt336 okay! Firstly you should know I'm not like a big patriot or anything, I'm not trying to claim Israel is a great place, I live here so I know it's got a shit ton of problems. So, when you said "what is Israel in the first place?" I assume you're talking about the occupation, right? Let me tell you, as a leftist I'm against the occupation and all my friends and family and even my teachers in school are against it. But at the same time, we have to acknowledge that even though it's not fair that Israel is managing the land in such a way, and we do have to speak up against the treatment of Palestinians, at the same time, Israel is still a society that is made up of a mostly innocent population, like every place is. And I personally wish the Palestinians will get the lands back from the settlements, but I don't think it's realistic to wish they take ALL the lands from the river to the sea, because that means the entire Israeli society and culture and economy and community that has been there for decades will have to be ripped out and destroyed for that to happen. And that's my community, that's my home. I wish it can be a home for others too, but WITH me, not to replace me. You see what I mean? Just like you feel sad for the Palestinians who were banished from their homes back in the day, you shouldn't wish that upon anybody. I don't wish that for anybody. This revenge logic ,more than being impractical it is mostly just plain dangerous to everyone I know. What do you think?

[@growyoung6438]

As a Palestinian-American, I love you Gianmarco ♥️♥️ Jewish people critiquing Israel are incredibly brave. No culture and or religion should ever be hijacked by extremists. I have so much respect for you and all Jewish voices for peace

[@odeleya1768]

Jews were critiquing the Israeli government this whole time, there were giant protests before the war started. But the differences is, they’re not protesting on whether or not they have a right to exist as a nation and country. Everyone else seems to not agree if I have the right to exist or if my family has the right to exist. Jewish voice for peace expressed little to no sympathy for innocent Jews and Israelis on October 7, I wouldn’t even be surprised if they were not Jewish. They do not represent Jews in the least bit, they are there to feed into anti Zionists hatred of Jews and Israel.

[@GaslightGatekeepGirlboss372]

How are you a Palestinian American? Genuinely asking - How did you leave Palestine?

[@lobete]

@@odeleya1768 It is really interesting you think the existence of Israel is tied to whether you think you or your family has a right to exist. Why do you tie your identity to a US/British colonial project from decades ago? It isn't like the existence of Israel makes Jewish people safer, as is often the claim on why it was created: you are infinitely safer in any of western countries that Jewish people leave to go to there. When a Brooklyn man moves the the West Bank and steals a Palestinian's home, what part of that is designed to keep you safe or "existing?" The October 7th attack is having less and less sway over people, not because people aren't supposed to have sympathy for innocent civilians targeted by terrorists, but because how one-sided that analysis is. You can rightfully call Hamas a terrorist group, but not if you don't call the IDF one as well. Hamas' attack had 45% civilian death toll while the rest of those killed are deemed justifiable military targets. Israel's rate of death on civilian populations since then? In the 70-90% range depending on if you go with the UN numbers or those of Euro-Med Monitor. The Israeli government officials will proudly boast about bombing refugee camps, killing hundreds of people at a time, in hopes of taking out one terrorist. Someone they can't even confirm that they got. There are no good guys here and you definitely shouldn't tie your "right to exist" to a bunch of war criminals. Israeli citizens have a right to exist! But Israel the country? Any country? Those exist through consent of the governed and don't have rights as if they were individual people. I'd care more about a government existing if they weren't an apartheid state committing genocide. Only democracy in the middle east my ass.

[@odeleya1768]

@@omaimaf9963 can you please tell me what you predict Hamas will do to Israelis IF they were to win the war? When all they talk about is destroying Israel and all they do is attack innocent Israelis, sometimes even their own people, what can you predict will happen if Israel doesn’t destroy them?

@@omaimaf9963 “apartheid” yet Arabs who have Israeli citizenship have the right to own land, vote and have seats in government? Can you point out any Jews living in Gaza right now? Those who aren’t hostages? And “colonial” as if Jews haven’t been repeatedly proven to be indigenous to the land and were there so many years before any Arab set foot in there? And Israel’s goal isn’t to g*nocide Palestinians like it is Hamas‘s goal to g*nocide all Israelis. If Israel was g*nocidal, the war would’ve been over on October 8. Their main goal is to bring justice to those who k!lled, r*ped and kidnapped our people and bring them back home, whoever is still alive. Israel will try to get civilians out of the way but it’s not their fault when Hamas doesn’t let them move and hides behind them and make their schools and hospitals into t*rrorist HQ. Intent is entirely different, it’s not “g*nocide vs g*nocide”, it’s g*nocide vs justice.

[@christianebrown9213]

Unfortunately, everyone seems to think Jews are white and come from Europe. Think of it this way, the Native Americans, colonized by the White Europeans (which we all know they truly were), fled to other countries. Some remained, but many, many others fled. Wherever they went, they were ostracized; accepted for a little bit, then pushed out or murdered in other countries; persecuted no matter how far they traveled. So...they had enough and decided to return to their homeland, where other Native Americans were still living. They decided enough was enough, negotiated to have back at least a little part of it that was still their own (hmmn....sounds a bit like the reservations that still exist in America right?) BUT the current tenants (Yes, all of us white European descendants) whined and complained and violently resisted this return.....It's kinda like THAT.

[@hannahg.8572]

@@christianebrown9213 I am also annoyed by the ignorance of people thinking that Jewish = white, not only because not all Jews are Ashkenazi (completely erasing Mizrahi, Beta Isreal, etc.), but also because "white" appearance historically never protected Jews from being perceived as a minority and horrifically persecuted. That being said, I think this is not a good comparison. Even if we assume that people have a right to return to their ancestor's land, the current residents do experience dispossession when you suddenly move in and claim land, and describing that as "whining and complaining" is awful. Many lose land they had been living on for unknown generations, that suffering is just as valid as that of Jews when they lost their homes. And let's not gloss over the fact that the formation of the modern State of Israel certainly wasn't just through "negotiation", but also armed conflict. Also, Jews who migrated back are not the only ones with a claim to the land. The Middle East has always been very diverse, so even in the days before the Jewish diaspora, there were other, non-Jewish people living in what is Israel today. If we say Jews have a place there because their ancestors were there, then the descendants of those other people have an equal claim, it's always been mixed. Furthermore, in over 2000 years of the diaspora... other people have moved in there? It's not like the land sat empty waiting for the return. Do people whose ancestors left around 2000 years ago have more of a claim than someone whose ancestors moved in "only" 800 years ago, or can they both call it home? So yeah, as an anthropologist who has focused a lot of her work on Native Americans, I'll say the struggles are quite different.

[@MsBhappy]

Israeli jews are Indigenous to the land through language, religion/culture (as most are secular), archeology and for the vast majority ancestral genetic lineage. That doesn't Palestinians don't have indigenous rights to live in the levant too, of course they do. Don't be ignorant about history though: arabization, slave trade under Ottoman empire, it having never been a socially isolated region from Europe too, and the influence of British Mandate causing tens of thousands to move to the region.

[@audradefalco3622]

@@hannahg.8572 Also, don't forget that Ashkenazi Jews have Middle Eastern ancestry as well. Numerous wide scale DNA tests have shown that Ashkenazim have historic maternal Southern European heritage and historic paternal Middle Eastern heritage.

The closer the blade got to my throat ! Brilliant . How much more sympathetic to Palestine can one get .

[@karlitatv]

My dude knows some good damn dark humour!

[@SilverTea68]

the "ONLY ONE??" had me dying

[@failurefiend]

God you're so awesome man. Dont worry about your career, if mark ruffalo can be on the right side of this issue and get work, you can too

[@ML-qh6dv]

How is Marc Ruffalo on the "right side"?

[@andre-cmyk]

​@@ML-qh6dvnot wanting children to die is being on the right side usually.

[@ML-qh6dv]

@@andre-cmyk I don't think anyone wants children to die. We just don't agree about who's responsible for their deaths.

[@riverdorfsee4324]

@@ML-qh6dv When you look at the history it’s very obvious who’s responsible. It mind boggling how people act like it’s science

[@ML-qh6dv]

@riverdorfsee4324 it's obvious to me as well (historically and today). Hamas refuses to let people (including children) escape through the safety corridors. How are they not responsible?

[@seanamccallum]

Fantastic bits. Best of luck debating with your friends and family, it must be tough.

[@alona270]

It is true…I don’t know is an appropriate reaction because it is such a complex thing that many should say I don’t know instead of making an opinion that at the end adds up to being a trend at the moment and not a real opinion or a stand. The lives of Palestinians and Israelis are not a trend and all it comes down to now is an opinion based of corrupt dictators (in both sides) and the world thinks that’s how everyone is.

[@JoanWaters2024]

Honestly impressive that my first exposure to you is making really funny jokes with this heavy topic! You're hilarious and have a new fan :)

[@Noah-lo9vb]

With every joke the merch store icon looked sexier and sexier...

[@mitskisdreamgirl]

Pls make more content on this!! We need your voice.

Kosher joke got a clap from me even though I wasn't there 10/10

[@sadaffy_duckk]

The “just one?!” And the “we’re kosher” went over so many heads lol

[@viscinium]

It's such a minefield that nobody's even bringing up the phrase "my transphobic friends"

[@MuhammadFachriDarmawan1706]

Thank you for the stance, thank you for the set. Solid laugh per minutes while keeping the real situation with justice ❤

[@t-and-p]

"Only one?" Expertly handled! Never heard of this guy before but definitely want to hear more now 👍 Thank you for showing the difficulty of this insanely complex topic with nuanced, multi-tier messaging that made clear where you stand without triggering those who can only see things as "good or bad".

[@danieldumas7361]

LOVED that last comment on "...they won't get it." That is so frustrating....And HE has an Audience!!!

[@bicuriousdirtbikeboi2594]

It’s a very tense conversation because everyone thinks you have to be either pro-Israel or antisemitic and it sucks cause criticizing Israel doesn’t mean you’re antisemitic, but then you get the people being like “YEAH NAZI FLAGS!” And it’s like maybe YOU shouldn’t speak.

[@minestar2247]

well, there's also like, some zionists using the same agruments and way of thinking as those germans, and ironically you're more likely to find a zionist antisemite rather than an anti zionist one. yes, some anti zionists are anti semetic, but that's mostly because israel does cultural apropriation of judaism

[@ahoe09]

This guy is real... Genuine... 😂😂😂😂😂 Loved his satire

[@ambiguousaesthetic4170]

This guy is fucking brilliant. Kosher joke was top tier

[@mayr8669]

He didn’t just take the easy route and stayed silent or said he is pro isreal , and thats what I appreciate about this guy❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@phosphor112]

Took me a second to get that kosher joke. 😂😭

[@loudfunstrawberry4127]

Glad he didn't do the Palestanians dirty like those SNL freaks!

[@sadhbh4652]

What did SNL do? I can't watch in Europe

[@loudfunstrawberry4127]

@@sadhbh4652 First they brought in Peet Davis who talked about his dad being k!lled in a terr0rist attack and that not having opinion on "complicated issues" is alright. . I didn't watch the latest clip but this is what Pop Crave (an entertainment outlet) said on Twitter: SNL drops a Hamas joke on a skit where Timothée Chalamet says he has a band called Hamas, which is followed by a ‘Please Don't Destroy’ member saying he’s not sharing a band by that name: “Dude I’m not sharing a song by Hamas on Instagram”

[@cjboyo]

That sketch wasn’t snl it just looked like snl

Thanks. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 and save innocent souls.

[@yakirfrankoveig8094]

Came here to say that even though that phtase sounds nice it originated as free palestine from hamas. and free isnt exactly possible at least not on an imidiete solution obiously ideal is as soon as possible israelis amd palestinians living peacfully together but i sont think ots possible even in the coming decade or two may be a little passimistic but believe its the truth
