A genocidal state.
It's Michael Keaton for me
Can't beat that Burton Batmobile and Elfman theme
Hi, I see in the modlog that dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 's post was removed for "violating rule 1," which is, "be civil and nice."
Israel is discriminating non-citizens like every other state while e. g. Arabic citizens have full civil rights. As much as you might hate Israel, this is not Apartheit.
What isn't nice or civil about this post? They shared their opinion, one I consider reasonable, in a way that was inoffensive. Can the mods please elaborate on your mod policy here, are only anti-Israel opinions allowed?
(original comments still visible on kbin, though site is unstable atm)
WTH?! Israel is by all metrics an apartheid state. Whether you accept it or not.
That comment is so idiotic and/or bad faith that I totally get removing it. Better to remove it than clog up the comments with a dozen people trying to explain why they're wrong and the OP likely sea lioning them all.
I mean, Patterson was good but bail is iconic. The dark knight trilogy were so big, it made most movies gritty.
Unpopular opinion: Bale happened to be the Batman of the best Batman movie, his Batman is kinda meh. And I wish Afflect was in better Batman movies.
Now that you call it out, I agree! Bale gets a lot of praise for his ability to morph his body for different roles, but is otherwise only alright as an actor. But he happens to be in many great movies with other iconic figures which really elevates his cachet.
Affleck is pretty good. I also really liked Pattenson's emo sad-Bruce version quite a bit more than I expected to. For me, nothing will ever be as nostalgic and iconic as the Tim/Conroy animated portrayal.
Shame they aren't still using him. He makes a good, grizzled Batman that just doesn't play around anymore.
Batfleck definitely has the look and is more comic “accurate”. I’m sure he would’ve killed it in a better film and not directed by Snyder.

they totally control all the borders of the Palestinian people. excluding them from citizenship is part of the apartheid.
Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt? I know the Gaza strip only borders Egypt as well but isn't Palestine kinda patchy? Islands in the north, Middle East, and Southwest of Israel?
When I think Palestine usually think of this map.
Damn, this is embarrassing

Kevin Conroy was the best Batman

Deep down we know that doing terrorism will not solve any problems.
And yet the Israelis keep at it.
Why stop when there's no consequences
You think they will still be at it if they are given every hamas member?
Fun History Fact:
The Black Hands terrorist organization, the ones that killed Archduke Ferdinand, hoped that by doing so they would start a civil war that would result in a victory for Serbia, specifically creating a "Greater Serbia" from the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire where they had dominance over their regional neighbors.
Obviously, that didn't happen.
Instead WW1 happened.
Which ended in the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the creation of Yugoslavia, a constitutional monarchy with a Serbian royal family, capital in Serbia.
(And then they made everyone hate them because they were assholes both as a monarchy and a communist state)
Second, Bonus Fun History Fact:
Terroristic tactics have left Afghanistan as the only nation to have defeated occupations by the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and America, the three most powerful states since the collapse of the Mongol Empire.
What you propose:
"Terrorists might've done something good actually. In some foreseeable future we might see changes in the world that would actually benefit them in the result, making their terrorism not useless"
What I propose:
"No human can see the future. But hamas could perfectly see what would happen if they launched such a violent attack - invasion with the purpose of removing hamas as an entity. If I can't blame them for not surrendering by now, I will blame them for not making anything to defend their citizens."
Viet Cong's success in reuniting Vietnam says otherwise.
Attacking villages, taking hostages, and using guerilla tactics (like both Viet Cong did and Hamas are doing) are just the most effective ways of driving out an occupying force, and they wouldn’t be necessary if the oppressors weren’t there in the first place.
So you're telling that hamas didn't do anything wrong and they will succeed?
It's interesting how some people blame Israel for being oppressors while others blame it for establishing hamas.
It's also interesting how some people say terrorism is not useless because there is "some" history, but others are upset by how Israel is doing it too, apparently.
Israel was born in Nazism, molded by it. Palestinians merely adopted being oppressed.
Adam West was the best! And it even rhymes.
And he was also the best mayor.
The end line was so unexpected that I had a good laugh. That a truth was snuck in unexpectedly was excellent.
Ben's version of batman was best batman. Not much who was playing him, but how batman acted and handled himself.
Michael Keaton will always be my Batman
i side mostly with mental outlaw
No one in the Arabic/muslim world really cares about Palestine. Meanwhile Israel is winning this war on terror. We will never forget this 07. October. Now‘s payday. And soon West Bank will be inhabited by jewish people.
It's funny how you claim Israel is "winning this war on terror," yet everything after that in your comment sounds like something a terrorist would say.
Palestinians are not All Arabic nor Muslim. (saying Arabic/Muslim shows how little people understand the difference. It's as dumb as saying Caucasian/Christian. You can be one, both, or none.) Palestinian genetically are a mix of all Mediterranean peoples. And that includes Greek, European, and Arabs. Also, the Palestinian people are more secular than the surrounding Muslim countries... Second, there is no winning a war on terror. Not in the way you are thinking anyways. Every innocent person killed by Israel spawns new terrorists. It's unwinnable through violence.
Israel are terrorists, and invaders in the West Bank deserve to be shot
The West Bank is already inhabited by illegal Jewish settlements. It's a big part of why Hamas were provoked into October 7th and very much why the Arab world and wider international community have been so critical of Israel since well before this conflict.
Hamas still need to be stopped, but the current war is a terrible humanitarian tragedy that didn't need to happen this way. The Israeli government could have vowed to end Hamas without a land war in Gaza, which anyone with half a brain should realize would inevitably lead to massive civilian casualties due to the population density of Gaza and how Hamas operate by martyring their own people in the name of Jihad - as it indeed has.
I don't believe Israel is an apartheid state - that's an exaggeration for sure. Plenty of Palestinian representation in Israel. Not enough, but more than we give the situation credit for. Nevertheless, what they're doing now is horrific, and how the Netanyahu government has been enabling the Jewish settlementation of the West Bank by forcing Palestians off their land is deeply unethical and an insult to human rights and dignity. Imagine being forced out of the only home you and your family have ever known? It's ghastly.
Bottom line is this could have been done differently with the right political will. I'm no expert, but here are some reasonable ideas: Properly evacuate everyone who wishes to leave and encourage Egypt to do their part to take in refugees, and any other Arab states. Create a safe, well defended evacuation route for refugees to flee, and keep it open, while you tightly secure the blockade around Gaza, and block/flood/raid the tunnels. Then, most importantly, for all Palestinian refugees, promise a "right of return" back to Gaza/West-Bank, or Israel proper to be a citizen of "Israeli-Palestine" which covers the whole area, after the war. What we might call a "1.5" state solution. Two states working together to help each other. Over time, work hard to find or build homes for refugees and all displaced Palestinian diaspora as close to where they came from as possible. Finally for the stability of the future, encourage local Palestians and Jews, whether they live in Israeli or Palestian controlled territories, to get along with each other and support these efforts with strong social programs.
Alas.
Hamas are terrorists yes. But there are plenty of good reasons to despise Netanyahu and his government.
That's rhe spirit! I guess a good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian, amiright?
evil (n.): a manifestation of profound immorality and wickedness, especially in people's actions.
Disregarding acting ability, I don't think Pattinson had the physicality for it; he didn't look big enough to me to be believable. You could really tell the Batman costume had a lot of padding when you saw him as Bruce Wayne. I think he's just too lithe, for the lack of a better descriptor, for the character, you know?
I've heard that the Batman was supposed to show a younger, less-experienced Batman. So maybe he'll bulk up more for the next one, idk
For me it's Alfredo Casero, and i will die on that hill
How have I never heard of the first one.
Let's make one thing clear: This "country" that proclaims itself as Israel is not the same Israel as described in Bible but a Zionist State where its ideological pillars were forged, in a Europe still at the time submerged in colonialist ideology. This is just to say the basics
What is your point?
Like why I care about whether or not it is the one in the bible?
What are you trying to get at?
It seems a bit "fun fact that is kinda related to the post but not really at the same time". I mean obviously Israel is a Zionist state. It is literally the movement that made the state. How does it relate to apartheid? Now colonistic idealogy has a link to apartheid. But then again, Jews didn't had the best experience with colonism within Europe which is what Hilter did. So you could easily argue against the sentiment, while I personally won't argue either way as I don't believe that I know or understand enough.
In short, I might agree with you if I would understand what you want to tell us. But I don't, care to help me?
