      No, it isn’t standing with Palestine, nor standing against it. It’s simply pointless and a tactical error.

      Dehumanizing is a mistake that the Nazis made, leaving them vulnerable to their own propaganda. They expected all their victims to be sneaky, cowardly and inferior, and they paid for that mistake.

      Dehumanizing the new wave of fascists leaves us open to the same mistake.

      The people committing genocide in Palestine are human, and it’s important for us to stop them by any means necessary, including killing them.

        explain to me what sort of dehumanizing took place here? a joke about nazisraelites lacking the basics of human emotion and compassion? it’s not us who dehumanize them, it’s themselves who do it in a process of segregated alienation

          Someone posted an image that says “Verify you are human”, with the test being “I stand with Palestine”.

          The implication is that those who do not, are not human.

          Yes, joking about how Zionist scum (and apathetic people) lack humanity is dehumanization. The image is very literally saying some is not human if they don’t stand with Palestine.

          And to recap what I said, this isn’t some moral objection - death to the Zionist Regime and those who empower it. The problem is that dehumanization of humans is an anti-materialist delusion, which has historically led to underestimating enemies.
