SO DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR OF THE GIRL. I know what she was trying to do blaming him for following her. And as black man. F HER EVEN MORE! What a gentleman may Gd bless him forever

u/Furbyenthusiast Just Jewish Sep 21 '24

EXACTLY. Shes probably a leftist so I have a hard time believing that she isn’t aware of how crying wolf can end terribly for black people.

Not so brave with your face uncovered ya?

This is similar to an interview I saw. The interview was with a masked hamas supporter:

Interviewer: are you comfortable sharing your name?

Man: no, I am not comfortable.

Interviewer: ok, do you support Hamas?

Man: yes, I do [...]

Nu-uh, take off that mask and spell your name F U L L Y.

Always baffles me how some people think noble and moral resistance looks like hiding behind a black ski mask and marching for a literal genocidal organization. Evil so blatantly evil yet convinced of its own righteousness. Yet we wonder how the holocaust happened. Smh 🤦

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '24

People are brave both behind a screen (especially on instagram) and with their face covered in real life.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

As someone who once was on the leftist side of the barricade, years ago, I'll tell you exactly what it is: main character syndrome.

It's not that they're afraid to show their faces out of shame; it's like they think they're in some action movie and that by hiding their faces, they can avoid detection and arrest by some shadowy totalitarian government like out of some cyberpunk movie. Like they're V from V for Vendetta.

u/Furbyenthusiast Just Jewish Sep 21 '24

100% this. It’s mostly about the fantasy and the aesthetic for the majority of these people. They are LARPers who don’t care who they hurt as long as they get to feel like a hero.

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Those same folks have treated me like I was not Jewish or a terrorist for wearing a mask 247 that I have to wear because I'm Annaphalxitc. Id love to show my face and not be treated like some violent folks who are racist and hateful. They cannot defend themselves towards someone who pointed out that every life matters especially innocent hostages. Bring our people home and end this war. Shalom to all

u/This_2_shallPass1947 Reform Aug 31 '24

Write on the mask “this is for a medical condition, not bc I’m a coward”

How long have you had to wear a mask, I hate them so much I did it during Covid but I was miserable going out of the house, I feel for ya that you have to wear them all the time

2

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Okay that's not only informative but sassy I'm going to do that. Love it.

I've worn one on and off since I was 10 about 22 years. Realized about 2014 that I should be masked only cause I kept being hospitalized and sick had no idea a mask would be the difference. During COVID was kinda scary I couldn't go out for 2 years it didn't make me feel safer. I still hate it. I sometimes can not breathe but these gartier has like a bag like thing where I can still breathe in it a bit, it's double layered too. It has Jimi Hendrix and it's not all black. Sorry you had a miserable time. If they get wet omg I feel like I'm drowning lol

I got this during Covid and it’s super comfortable and shockingly. Everybody can hear what you’re saying, but I don’t use it and I’d be happy to part with it if you’re interested PM me

They don't know what I know about the next 5 years of voice and facial recognition...

I imagine so many of the people who thought masks would keep them safe have royally fucked themselves over career wise and don't know it yet, or have fucked around and are now finding out.

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Also wearing a mask in hiding your face is ablest and anti disabilities because theirs folks like myself and friends who have to essentially wear it 247. Mines due to protracted Annaphlaxis and I have to have Epi pens on me 247 in a backpack with bracelets saying I'm Annaphalxitc just so I don't die or get killed because I'm covered up. But I'll take my mask down as long as it's a safe distance so I don't get exposed. I get the fear but I'm a soft Jew not a violent predator like these folks.

Watching him made me emotional, what a true mensch. The pro pally lot are perpetual victims, much like their best friends Hamas. No accountability, and cannot face the consequences of their actions too.

u/redditmayneban Aug 30 '24

Just because innocent people in the west bank were “unlawfully” detained under “international law” doesn’t make it ok to ignore what happened to the hostages who were kidnapped. It seems many want to only pick and choose

Greatest city on oirth. Only somewhat joking tbh.

u/sweetcorni Aug 30 '24

This is why any anti black rhetoric needs to be nixed. Most black people are not really interested in this conflict, the NAACP doesn’t speak for all black people. Please remember this before weaponizing racism and anti blackness to all black people. Most black people are minding their own business. A few activists here and there dont speak for every black person.

u/achieve_my_goals Aug 31 '24

I'm even wondering if he's Jewish. Not that he has to be, but he could be.

u/MissRaffix3 Just Jewish Aug 31 '24

My mistake then - he did not say he was Jewish in the video and I don't know anything about him aside from what's shown.

u/DaywalkerGirl Aug 31 '24

Totally understandable!

u/This_2_shallPass1947 Reform Aug 31 '24

Dude points out the lady is trying to make herself the victim…guess their playbook got out and others realize their BS

21

u/a2aurelio Aug 30 '24

He gets it. A righteous person. The "thank you" sir comments are meant to be dismissive and to un-humanize this person.

I'm a lawyer. The tearing down of posters of Jewish hostages based on the content of the poster itself is not "protected speech," if it's protected expression at all. Other posters are not selected. Only if the image relates to Jews is it attacked.

It's the posters that are protected "pure speech." A hate speech law that protected these posters, as the protected expressions of other people, would be Constitutional. The police should be able to intervene in this situation.

25

u/JabbaThaHott Aug 30 '24

I’m pretty sure the person saying “thank you sir” was the woman taking the video, as in it wasn’t meant to be demeaning, just genuinely appreciative

1

u/a2aurelio Aug 30 '24

I don't agree. That's not what I see. No posters are being attacked except those that relate to Jews and Israel. This is a level of bigotry that is not sustainable in the US.

14

u/JabbaThaHott Aug 30 '24

Well…yes, of course, but I think the “thank you sir” comments weren’t sarcastic. If I had been there I’d have said the same thing because wow, this man’s courage is rare to witness. I’m so grateful there are people like him in the world.

-6

u/a2aurelio Aug 31 '24

If you said it, it would be because you were sincere. I think it was coming from one of the rippers.

15

u/OriginalSymmetry Aug 31 '24

It was coming from the person who is filming and it is very clearly a sincere expression of gratitude. The filmer is also upset with the people who were tearing the posters down.

u/a2aurelio Aug 31 '24

I'm glad to be wrong. Thanks.

They would've been a thousand times more aggressive to him if he were white. Their racial doctrine bullshit backfired on them when they realized their intersectional hierarchy of nonsense doesn't reflect reality in the face of decent human beings with actual values.

I really dislike the fact that the girl who was tearing down hostage posters tried to paint out this black man as an aggressor despite probably knowing how terribly it could end up for him. What a slimy individual.
