Anything referencing Palestine must be erased. This is the exact shit that the GOP is claiming is happening to their own shit heels. But collectively as a species all world media is okay doing this to Palestine? Fucken crazy.
I always considered myself more conservative and an evangelical Christian. Yet I am upset at and also very suspicious of this blind support for Israel. Like it's actually getting ridiculous at this point. I even changed the title as it's literally just a watermelon. Yet all sorts of outlets are reporting on it being "anti semitic" and "erases israel". It's like a weird cancel culture is going on.
If you also want to know my opinion as an evangelical, I cannot find any biblical justification for the existence of this "state of israel".
The article says it is a watermelon shaped like israel. I don't know why is (or is percieved to be) a pro-palestinian message, and I don't care enough about a t-shirt to look it up, but the show producers at least thought it was a political statement. I wonder if a shirt with simply a triangular slice of watermelon would be banned.
