I don't think that's a moral dilemma for them at all, since Gaza is full of brown and/or muslim people.

Also, they're immune to cognitive dissonance.

And they've won.

They are insulated from their own hypocrisy by the ratchet effect.

This is an easy one. Palestinians aren't people to them, so it can't be murder.

The South is also home to most animal agriculture so they have no qualms about systematically slaughtering animals.

Happy days...

It all makes sense when you realize that a good number of them feel that Palestinians are not people.

Because they're brown, or because they're not Christian?

Inclusive or

There are white Christians in Palestine. So at this point it's just "they are not our females".

Don't worry, doublethink isn't just a word to them - it's a way of life.

Life can't start at birth if brown people aren't humans!

For those out of the loop: Reuters - Gaza's IVF embryos destroyed by Israeli strike

Isnt there a political meme community?

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The character in this meme is a white male, so it's not political. /j

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

You're right in it. If you want to start a non-political one, feel absolutely free.

All they care about is the unborn. The moment those kids are born their care goes out of the window anyways.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In the south, Brown kids don't count.

[–] ililiililiililiilili@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

They count (but only 3/5ths). Sorry, everyone.
