I do not believe that (although I could see how you would read it like that). I meant your insinuation that the well documented Zionist false flag was the equivalent of 9/11 conspiracy theories, but you admit that Israel did do the false flag.

I posted references down thread. People are free to read the wikipedia articles for themselves.

They didn't "flee", there was a coordinated Zionist effort to move them to Israel:

And the anti-Zionist riots were in response to the illegal occupation of Palestinian land:

None of this was even remotely on the scale of Nakba.

Jewish immigration to Israel is not similar at all to Nakba. It was voluntary, and that's extremely different from having your homeland invaded and ethnically cleansed.

New comment by smoothjazz in "Intel Foundry launch poses challenge for Israel operations"

It seems unthinkable that Intel would continue to invest in Israel. They should have never done it in the first place, and building a new fab would be at minimum a major PR disaster.

Who are "my ideological targets"?

"Wokeness" as defined by the people who use it is not a religion (and it's not extreme). It's just pejorative word for diversity used by people who believe in white supremacy.

I put it in quotes because it's the term a certain set of people use (not me). It had a historical meaning to the Black community but that's been usurped by reactionaries.

Why would anyone disagree with “wokeness”? I think that says a lot. Are the ultra-rich who complain about the “woke mind virus” hurt in any way by diversity? No, they are not.

I mean yes, it literally is. How can people make up their mind if they can’t even see it? You’re being very argumentative. If you don’t agree, that’s your decision, you don’t need to come into the thread and promote censorship.

Except they can’t since it’s censored. Are you adding anything to this conversation? Seems like you’re just complaining and being negative.

Well it got flagged and was never allowed to hit the front page so I’d say 12 is pretty good. There’s only one of you saying this.

You clearly don't speak for the people upvoting this post.

That’s a real shame. This is about a meme, I’d think it would be relevant. Even Paul Graham is speaking out against the genocide. It’s weird that we can’t discuss even tech stories about it here.
