    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.
