kenny i will say it's weird to argue that new boarders wouldn't get the context of this thread via the title but also that we should change the title because it was made by totally (a boarder that new boarders would not know)
anyway, at the very least contemporary israeli policy is racist and genocidal, their government is deeply committed to the oppression of palestine, hamas does some fucked up shit, netanyahu sucks, the left has some pretty racist critiques of israel, jail the settlers, okay cya

I think that it looks bad on it's own AND it's also pretty bad that it was made by totally. how weird is that 1/10

but only the former would be true to a new boarder, which is how you couched your concern. someone who registers for the first time in 2018 as a non-lurker wouldn't be like, "damn, that title :s ...OH SHIT AND BOARDER TOTALLY MADE IT?"

I don't see where I said that it looks bad on it's own and that it's because they'll know Totally made the thread

I don't post in this thread, but it seems like we could have renamed the thread to keep the original intention of criticising the Israeli government's actions while removing the racist overtones. "Isreali Gov: Still Dicks" or something similar but less flippant if you want. I don't think it was intentional or malicious, but removing criticism of the actions of the Israeli state is pretty fucked up, considering what those actions are. Whether you like it or not the thread title is a signifier that means something, otherwise why bother changing it in the first place.

I would have been quite happy with this. And a couple suggestions like that were floated
But the same time all someone needs to do to discover hipinion’s unanimous stance on the upper echelons of israeli govt is open the thread. Same thing re: consensus on trump in the POTUS thread

posts like this make me not want to participate in here, tbh!
Steve King deflectig from Pittsburgh by saying he’s a supporter of Israel and how that’s kind of the go-to face-save for explicit anti-Semites and neo-nazi sympathizers has me rattled
