Qatari official: Jews are murderers of prophets; October 7 is only a ‘prelude’
Essa Al-Nassr, a member of the Qatari legislative Shura council, spoke on Monday at an Arab League session, received ovation making bigoted accusations against Jews and promising the end of Israel.
Ok, that is antisemitism. I fully encourage us to weaken ties to Qatar over that
Quatar is famous for its neutrality, even in this conflict. US aid to Israel in part flows through US bases in Quatar, just miles from where Hamas leaders live. I haven't exactly been keeping a close eye on them but I'm wondering what changed to make them say this. It's not like they had any great concern for the plight of the Palestinians before this .
Can we all just fucking stop and catch our breath?
This world has gotten in a big hurry to end ever since 2020
Covid facilitated the greatest transfer of wealth from the masses to the few in history.
They're addicted to that high and want to keep it going as long as possible.
Blame useful idiots more than anyone else.
Meanwhile most of us just want a peaceful life.
My imaginary tale is more real than YOUR imaginary tale.
A tale as old as time…
But it’s the same imaginary tale
One just includes the sequels
Fan fics.
It's not to excuse this kind of thing, because it's monstrous, but you can draw a line from this rhetoric to Netanyahu's actions.
He's put a target on the backs of the entire Jewish diaspora.
That's the infuriating thing about this whole mess that feels impossible to solve.
Rhetoric like this directly radicalizes Israelis and pushes them towards violent escalation, which then radicalizes Palestinians into violence as well, further inspiring more Israeli violence, and on and on the cycle goes.
And then anyone who advocates for any amount of moderation will simultaneously get called a terrorist sympathizer for not wanting to nuke Gaza and a genocide accomplice for not wanting to forcibly remove or kill every Israeli.
Assholes, assholes everywhere. Islamist assholes, Zionist assholes , christian assholes trying to get the apocalypse going so they can be raptured. Capitalist Media assholes getting clicks from public outrage. And a whole of other asshole I'm not even aware of. We have laws about what kind of killing is acceptable. Those law were negotiated by people with zero chance of being subjected to lawful murder.
Especially given that last year most of the Gulf states had/were in the process of normalizing and publicizing diplomatic ties with Israel. Qatar has always been the odd one out in the Gulf, but the fact that these disgusting comments were lauded speaks to how much damage Netanyahu has done in such a short time.
It’s on purpose.
Nothing creates unity like a shared enemy, and there’s no better shared enemy than Every One That’s Not Us™️.
It’s why a lot of religious groups generate persecution complexes- it keeps people from leaving the fold.
That's not especially helpful, but A for effort I guess?
Edit: Am I being downvoted because I think antisemitism isn't helpful or am I being downvoted because of the "I guess you tried" second part?
I think a band of tankie bots sweeps through about 6 hours after a post and downvotes everyone. It seems to balance out about 12h later.
Could be. I just wish people would explain why they are downvoting. I don't care that six people downvoted me (as of now), I just want to know their reasoning.
Seems like you've just misinterpreted that sign?
Like yeah, it's not a great sign - partly because it's easy for people like you to intentionally misinterpret - but it's pretty clear it's saying that the Israeli killing of 1.5% of the population of Gaza, and displacement of 85% is a genocide.
This is a rather strong statement. I'm glad not to participate in that part of the world with any of the people involved. They really are not my cup of tea.
Imagine if they took their anger out on Romans instead since they were the ones who carried out the execution.
Imagine if they didn't blame an entire people for the actions of their corrupt leaders.
Also the whole thing might have been entirely fabricated.
Well you see the problem is there aren't any Romans left to scapegoat.
Technically there are still Romans of a kind. They're just people who live in Rome, which is just a city not an empire.
What a vile, sick and disgusting thing to say.
haha prophets. what a joke religion is. just a terrible terrible joke on humanity
Profits? Where?
Here's the part I'm super confused by considering a Muslim is saying this. Muhammad was supposed to be the last prophet of God. He died all the way back in 632 after complaining of a headache.
So I'm pretty sure any prophet deaths they're blaming on the Jews don't involve any Jews that are alive today and maybe this guy should focus on what the IDF is doing rather than this religious bullshit involving Jews as a whole.
From the article:
Islam includes many Jewish and Christian figures among their numerous prophets. (They believe Mohammed to be the last among them). That includes John the Baptist and Jesus himself (and possibly more). Since Jews had a hand in their death, that could be the reason why they make this claim.
While they're partially correct, this antisemitic trope ignores a lot of context and nuances. For example, Jesus himself was a Jew and so were his initial followers. And there are strong reasons to believe that his crucifixion was a vicious threat towards the Jews of Judea. John's story also has similar nuances. Unfortunately, all those contexts are neglected while creating the propaganda narrative of the evil Jew.
