I’ll be honest, there’s something about the genocidal army complaining about their religious dietary restrictions that makes me respect religious dietary restrictions less as a whole. It’s very hard to not see this and go “Yeah actually fuck you and fuck anyone for caring about this,” and I don’t know how to prevent feeling that way.
How do you avoid associating a genocide with a religion when the genociders are constantly bathing themselves in that religious imagery, saying “this is what this religion is, it’s evil and genocide”? When they keep using the Star of David like a fucking swastika and painting it on houses they’ve burned down, how do you prevent associating those things? This is a genuine question, I do not want to associate those things. If you use anything as a hate symbol enough times, that becomes its meaning. If I see a swastika my first reaction is not Hinduism, it’s genocide.
And if I switch things in my mind to be the religion I’m more familiar with, the evangelical Christianity I was raised with, it doesn’t make it any clearer. If Israel was a Southern Baptist state (That’s already who funds the whole thing but what if it was explicit), spraying crosses on the walls of burned out homes, only punishing its soldiers for having meat during Lent, and having real estate auctions for colonized land in churches in Florida, I would feel very differently from how I feel in the current situation, in that I’d have no hesitation blaming the religion. I’d be cheering when Southern Baptist churches were burned down.
The southern Bapitist church would spray the same symbol that an Armenian church uses regularly, but you wouldn’t blame Armenian churches.
I wouldn’t celebrate one burning down the same way, I would say “Hey maybe putting crosses everywhere is a bad look when they’re spraying it on bombed out houses”

There’s something really… exasperating that this is the thing that gets
troops in troubleNot the cruelty, not the callousness, not the wanton disregard for human suffering
But cooking hot dogs on a Saturday
Also, I have to imagine the one who snitched is probably the worst person because holy shit is that the least important thing in the world to get upset about
So what you’re saying is that they were reported for being… Unorthodox?
Yeah don’t fuck with other people’s religious dietary requirements. I assume what’s going on is they were using kosher equipment to cook not-kosher food, and when someone does that there’s a whole bunch of ritual shit that needs to be done to restore the utensils to a state of cleanliness, though idk how that even works with pork products. And it’s rude.
Or it could just be something incredibly assinine.
needs to be done
None of this superstitious bullshit NEEDS to be done. They just believe it needs to be done.
And there’s something really gross about whining about your superstitious bullshit while you’re committing a genocide
Priorities!
i’m not as up on my torah but i think god orders genocide
Orthodox Jews aren’t allowed to do much of anything on Shabbat, a big no-no for pretty much all of them is literally or figuratively starting a fire (can’t use electrical devices either). This is explicitly against their religion’s rules, but I agree it’s a very silly thing to care about when you’re also doin a genocide and “thou shalt not kill” is one of the ten commandments.
Does that mean they aren’t allowed to drop bombs or white phosphorus on Shabbat
Most religions have realized the necessity of war exemptions (for a “good guy” example: Hamas fighters are exempt from Ramadan restrictions)
i assume this is about “starting a fire” or whatever orthodox rule breaking, like how some elevators have “sabbath mode” because some rabbi decided pushing a button is against the rules.
I think kosher hot dogs are made of beef or chicken
Yeah, I assume the problem with this is the cooking, not the hot dogs.
Those are super delicious

Ooh good point, I hadn’t considered that.
Honestly, I’m sort of skeptical that anything could make a hot dog pass the ritual purity standards of any religion, or the public health standards of any nation.
