“You can support Palestine without supporting Hamas”
Proceeds to simp for someone with a Hamas license plate
Many such cases by the left
I don’t get why this is even a left right issue. Fuck giving our money to some foreign government for a war that means nothing to us
Israel is the pawn in the chess game. Send them out to get sacrificed. Pretty much the entirety of the Middle East hates America (and let’s not pretend it is because we support Israel). They sponsor the terrorist that launch thousands of rockets and bombs at Israel every year. If they get their wish and wipe Israel off the map, they will turn their focus to us.
You have to remember in the Bible Israel has major significance and that’s half of the reason. I support both Israel and Palestine for those who aren’t affiliated with terrorism or terrorist groups. Israel from a religion perspective, and then Palestine because I don’t believe war will solve any problems and everyone deserves to be free and to live their life to the fullest and not be oppressed, but there has to be a point where everyone comes to an agreement to get along and stop fighting but respect each others differences.
Lol what was 9/11 then. The conflicts exist because we created them. Our military industrial complex and our politicians that sit in the boardrooms all profit from the chaos. It all started in WW1. That’s literally how we got wealthy in the first place
"what was 9/11 then." Thank you, that was them focusing on us. Excellent point.
Israel was still in the Middle East then too. My point is that people are going to be pissed at us regardless of Israel
So true, and they will focus on Israel until there is no Israel. Then they will focus on us.
Dumb logic
Yup
You can’t support freeing people an illegal occupation that’s committing genocide without supporting armed resistance against it. How would you recommend taking on any genocidal government without militants? Thoughts and prayers?
What’s your end goal in mind? Total destruction of Israel? Mine is 2SS on modified 67 borders. Surely there’s something between thoughts and prayers and gunning down people at a music festival, executing hiding civilians in porta potties, bomb shelters, etc
Israel unilaterally left the strip in 2005, allowing the Palestinians to govern themselves. They elected Hamas who then literally publicly executed the rival political party (Fatah, the ones who rep Palestine at the UN) in the streets. They haven’t held elections in 20 years and have fired tens of thousands of rockets indiscriminately into Israel, and done suicide bombings that have killed over a thousand people. That’s fighting occupation? Suicide bombings? Hijacking’s planes and Olympic athletes? I could think of a number of things Hamas could have done better lol
if you think the only path to justice is terrorism then idk man. Maybe consider the number of peace deals PA (or PLO) leadership have turned down
You can stand for Palestinian rights without glorifying mass murder, and you really should since they are deserving of rights and sovereignty and independence. The same way Israelis do. Jews have lived here for a long time and when the UN split the occupied British territory after seizing it from the ottomans both sides should have taken the peace and land given
nah fuck them zionists
Exactly - Hamas is essentially the end-state of what all the 2A folks here claim they would do in the face of a tyrannical govt.
You can also support Jews without supporting Israel.
Confederate flag guys about to be real upset
I live in the south and I’ve seen bumper stickers of the Palestinian flag mixed with the Confederate flag.
Basically the same thing, obsessed with the losing side
This is kinda how the Confederate flag started.... The war was fought over land just like any other. Somewhere, propaganda switched the meaning from rebellion to whatever combination of racist accolades it gets now. Unfortunately, the ignorant majority swooped up the wrong sort of pride along the way.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
-LBJ
Edit: Read up on Bush's cousin Abe Lincoln who passed the emancipation proclamation as a war effort and wasn't recognized as a candidate in the south. The war was not centralized around the morality of slavery, land owners in the south didn't want wealthy business men to tell them how to farm and tax them. Now we've done a demented 180 to the farmers ignorantly following a business man to higher taxation. It's called dystopia, and we're gobbling it up.
Now it's considered racist to be a rebel. Sounds a lot like not agreeing with Israel.
Edit 2: Please go read Frederick Douglass' work or at least understand how social activism USED to drive lawmaking in this country and not the other way around. The government is supposed to follow our lead after all, not just tell us to vote for them.
I am receiving a wildly mixed message from this comment
its impressive he managed to upset everyone. I actually applaud it
That's by design because we live in a dystopian mess.

Frederick Douglass is responsible for emancipation, not Lincoln. The portrayal of morality influencing the union to end slavery is an illusion that drives separation.
It was specifically fought to preserve the right to own slaves...not land.
What the fuck?
That's not anywhere close to what the civil war was fought for
ignorant majority when it doesn't conform to my viewpoints
the civil war was not fought over land
a peculiar institution however is a different story
It wasn’t fought under land, but parts were over water and under water as submarines were invented! /s
Go ahead and read up on the Kansas-Nebraska act, popular sovereignty, and bleeding Kansas.
Go ahead and read various Confederate documents explicitly stating the intent to keep slavery around was the reason for secession. You pretending you're on some high minded bullshit by going "But it was actually for land and the North wasn't doing it for moral reasons," doesn't change reality. Whether a large portion of the US wanted to end slavery for moral reasons or otherwise (and there was a very real and very large contingency of people who wanted it ended for moral reasons) doesn't change that the reason for the CSA committing treason was to protect the institution of slavery for their own ends.
Why was popular sovereignty still protected in northern states after the emancipation proclamation?
“I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and Black races,” he told a crowd in Charleston, Illinois. “I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.” There is, he added, “a physical difference between the white and Black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.”

Straight from encyclopedia Britannica
The civil war was a war waged by the rich and fought by the poor
Lost me with the Hamas license plate.
“Give me attention!!”
Pretty much sums up every progressive.
Um, we don't set up merch stores.
Uh-huh. Aint there a whole group of people running around crying that gay people checks notes exist?
actually literally nobody
when EVERY SINGLE institution, media, movie, tv, commercial, business etc caters to a group, the group cannot claim persecution. I mean for gods sake. Not even churches discriminate anymore.
The supply of persecution has to be manufactured to keep up with demand.
I know I know. Becoming mainstream is sort of a letdown huh ?
Every reasonable institution decries anti-semitism, yet Jewish people claim persecution. Some would argue white people in America fighting diversity and inclusion is the majority claiming persecution because they fear losing their majority. Women are the majority in the US, but political powers are actively talking away their right to bodily autonomy in ways that reduce their life expectancy.
Churches will welcome gay people but tell them gay sex is a sin and they should abstain. That is discrimination in my book.
are they expected to rewrite the Bible? Or just abandon the base of the religion entirely
lol it’s like wanting to be a vegan and feeling discriminated against that you can’t both eat meat and be a vegan.
I hope you don’t eat shellfish, wear mixed fabrics, stone your children to death for swearing at you.. the Old Testament is pretty wacky. Are we still sacrificing animals to God.. or did we decide Jesus cleaned up all that for us.
It’s almost like it’s all arbitrary and we follow the parts we like and abandon what we don’t!
It does but does that make it any less stupid to join a group expecting them to change their ways/beliefs for you.
Is there not a single place on this platform where I don’t have to see this brainrotted, mindless virtue-signaling?
The only good virtue signaling is the stuff I do.
what about criticizing an active genocide is “brain rotted mindless virtue signaling” to you?
What genocide? You mean the mass killing of civilians by a colonialist death cult since its inception?
What apartheid? I grew up with Arab neighbors and friends - how is that possible under apartheid?
If hearing about it is the worst you have to deal with, I think you're pretty insulated already, no?
I mean it's clearly relevant to the sub, I don't even think it's really political. If you don't like seeing it you can just scroll on, but leaving a comment will just bring it to your attention more as people reply, and then reddit thinks you actually want to see posts like this, because you're engaging with it, so they appear in your feed more
Guys, the 10000th conflict in the Middle East is NOT political, I promise.
“I don’t think it’s even really political”
✅ Brainrot confirmed
Just get it the fuck out of here. It’s a sub for trucks, not your political agenda. Arguing this is about trucks and not about your political agenda shows you’re very confused.
This is fucking insane. Y’all understand hamas is a terrorist organization that openly rapes and murders civilians?
Fuck Hamas and all that but the IDF is guilty of the same crimes
Sure and the US military is guilty of the same crimes as Al Queda.
There we go, now we’re getting there
If the shoe fits
Israel kills far more innocent women and children.
Shit man. Get this guy a plane ticket to Gaza to help out. He’s either full of shit or he’d get on the plane.
Can say the same about all the dudes who dick ride Israel
This here transplanted Israeli redneck loves you.
He doesn't want to get run by a bulldozer by the IDF
Ummmm
Wow there's quite a few bots on this reddit. No redneck I know would support Palestine or Hamas. Hamas is 100% a terrorist organization.
That’s a pavement princess lol he’s not redneck
This tread sucks. I’m out
Well this is unexpected
That's as 'redneck' as a zoot suit. lol
I bet he's real fun to have as a neighbor
Another suburban virtu signaler
Aaron Bushnell's truck
This is just as cringe and stupid as someone flying a bunch of Confederate flag shit or similar with a bunch of pro Israel stuff, it is just silly.
Spelling isn't a strong point for him.
Fuck both of them. Palestine and Israel can handle their own beef without our involvement in any way.
What a funny and interesting combination of political ideals and beliefs
I wonder why he’s not in Palestine and instead here in the states lmao.
Progressive redneck is a new one but I'm here for it.
e: isrealites big mad lol, go back home if you care about it so much, losers.
since when is it progressive to plaster a slogan from a terrorist group on your truck?
you're absolutely right, Israel is a terrorist group.
Fuck israel
No, just another anti-Semite in a lifted truck. This is just horseshoe theory in action.
We’re called bluenecks and there’s a lot of us.
Dozens of us!! Dozens!
“a lot”
Thats not a redneck lol
That is a soft handed human with too much money lol
No one EVEN IF they supported terrorist groups is going to spend the time and money doing something like this.
Brownneck?
Did you find the opposite day redneck?
Bomb them both. See how they like that
Some of the gau ist shite I've ever seen
That first one is absolutely AI
Well, they do have some entertainment value.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a genocidal statement. Y’all know that right?
It’s calling for the GENOCIDE of the Jewish people…fucking hell when will people realize what that statement means to Muslims and Palestinians in particular
Hot take: Israel/Palestine is such a broken conflict with issues in race, religion, and region that there is NOT a right answer for any of it because humans as a whole cannot overcome tribal instincts.
Personally, I do feel we are too involved in that mess though.
This dude gets dyed haired they/thems left & right !
Where's this at? Seen a near identical truck in the Detroit area.
Hell yeah lmao. Not the kind of messaging you expect to see on a lifted truck.
This is a terrorist, not a redneck.
he's not wrong. fuck the zionists
Freedom!!!
Liberty ain't dead yet!
Somebody lost their fantasy football league 🤣
Id bet money this comes from an antisemitic slant lmao
People have to realize that just because one opposes the state of Israel’s government and its policies, it doesn’t mean they are antisemitic.
How about literally having "hamas" on the license plate? Lmao
I am extremely confused right now. As a patriotic, independent American I thought Israel was our homie?
"Rednecks"
I’ve successfully stayed out of caring about this discussion. I don’t even know which party supports which country, I just wish we’d stop spending money on it.
When good o southern boys are screaming free Palestine you know the Genocide is real!
Well, I reckon someone else finally discovered that dispensationalism is heresy, Scofield is full of lies, and Christian zionism isn't actually Christian at all.
"Fuck israel"
drives a massive truck that feeds into the crisis for oil that has brought death and destruction to the middle east for generations
they typed on a their smartphone, further supporting child labor and borderline slave working conditions
Shut up, one can be hyper-cynical about any damn thing, the dudes speaking up against tyranny.
I do support child labour and sweat shops. And I didnt wrap my car in messages saying otherwise.
"Tyranny" lol ok
This is the funniest possible reply
That aren't wrong though
This guy is cool
From Midwest to Middle East.
There's a huge number of what we would consider rednecks in the ME
Jingle truck drivers come to mind.
