      They seem to dislike france’s freedom of speech and their anti-islam stance.

      … No, it does not make sense. I don’t have a clue.

        I think it has more to do with Macron and his bedding of right-wing fascists to avoid a left-wing government coalition

        That, and their funding of religious ethnostate terrorists…

        Edit: i don’t get it, is it something I said?

        Edit 2: OK, I was wrong about the specific context of the comment, but I’ll take partial credit for guessing it had to do with the war in Gaza

          Yes, the dislike of a democratically elected leader is reasonable clause to call for innocent french people to die in a massacre

            I didn’t say it was reasonable, I was only answering the question as to why they were angry with France.

            I think what the west deserves for funding a genocidal fascist is entirely up for debate, but that they deserve something is pretty well justified, IMHO

              Are you trying to say the West deserves violence? Advocating for violence isn’t allowed in this community or instance.

    What does that mean? Do they actually want Charlie Hebdos, as in people that aren’t scared to make irreverent cartoons of Mohammed? Or they want people like Charlie Hebdo to get the same response from the Muslim community? There’s a difference.

      I too am intrigued why tankies would support islamic fundamentalists murdering leftist french journalists… Doesn’t add up… My only guess (beyond the general mental illness tankies display) is that French colonialism fucked up cultures around the world for centuries — across south America, Africa, and Asia — and they still hold political and military control over a few of them… But why cheer islamic terrorism? Why cheer the murder of leftist journos?

        They’re leftists but not the right kind of leftists. That makes them deserving of being murdered in the tankies’ eyes.

        Tankies are very simple things. They operate by US bad

        If something, like jihadists, says the US is bad, then the Tankies will support them.

        until…

        They are reacting to this comic from ‘Liberation’ newspaper last year about the genocide in Gaza during Ramadan:

        The woman in a hijab is slapping the hand of an emaciated Gazan chasing after a rat, presumably to catch and eat it, and saying “Not before sunset”

          Ha, that is funny though. Sad on those people saying the caartoonist should be murdered for it

          On a sidenote: after one year of fighting, most residents of Gaza now believe that the Holy Attack was not worth it. I think that this cartoon rightly mocks the idea of a ‘Holy War’, even if some of its victims never made that choice

              This war/famine is a religious construct

                This conflict is as related to religion as a doughnut is related to the cultivation of sugar cane. Impossible to exist as it does without it, but could (and probably would) have arisen under different circumstances and with slight differences without it.

                Reducing this conflict into its religious factions conveniently ignores the cascading history and various material interests that allied imperial states have within the region. It also happens to be an easy way to ideologically frame the conflict about out-of-touch religious fanatics, even though it never would have happened at this scale or on this timeline without the vested contributions of secular liberal states.

                I hope you’re not one of those reactionary evangelists who believe the rapture will come once Israel is destroyed and are therefore aroused by the boundless death of innocent people.

                  The ‘scale of this conflict’ is still very small if you compare it to, say, the Syrian, Yemeni or Sudanese civil wars.

                  Of course you’re one of those reactionary evangelists who’ll claim none of these have anything to do with religion and the people in the region are just puppets waiting for the secularist liberals to pull their strings.

                  Or maybe they’re just donuts

      They want to kill – Or rather, like classic rich college kids, they want others to kill for them. They will thankfully never do anything violent, all bark.

        (Well, actually, watch out for them IRL on a smaller level. They very well may be violent, abusive people that will hurt you, or participate in SLA style politicial violence, it’s just that no “revolution” is ever going to happen.

        And before someone says it, no I didn’t say they all are, just that they can be.)

    Had to go looking, but I found the image this comment is in reaction to.

    spoiler

    It’s a cartoon from “Liberation” newspaper in france, and the caption is “Ramadan in Gaza” (published just after the hunanitarian aid blockade and famine crisis started in Gaza, for which Israel is now being accused as an act of genocide)

    The woman in a hijab is slapping the hand of an emaciated Gazan chasing after a rat, presumably to catch and eat it, and saying “Not before sunset”

    It’s a pretty openly Islamophobic joke about Gazan’s starving during the month of Ramadan where muslims traditionally fast from sunrise to sunset.

    I don’t think it should need to be said, but even orthodox Muslims recognize exceptions to fasting during ramadan for starvation and bodily injury.

        Religious fundamentalists do not encourage or instruct fasting during an ongoing famine (not even Islamic ones).

        Thinking that they do (and laughing about it) while they starve at the hands of their colonial occupier is honest-to-god nazi-level genocide apologia.

          You’d be hard pressed to find a cartoonist more fond of mocking neo-nazi’s than the one who drew this

          It’s mocking adults who’d prefer to die for their religion for condemning their kids (and their kids) to do the same. If you believe they’re starving their kids directly then this newspaper is too difficult for you

            Of course they’re not suggesting they’re ‘starving their kids directly’, but what they are doing is sidelining the colonial power actually responsible for their starvation and instead holding up an inaccurate and bigoted portrayal of their religious practices as a stand-in for Israel’s culpability.

            To blame Muslims for Israel’s sustained genocidal bombardment of innocent Gazans is a level of depraved racist bigotry I honestly never thought I’d witness in my time. The Nazis blamed the Jews for their own extermination, and that is precisely what you are doing here.
