“Itamar Ben-Gvir supporters” are literally called terrorist sympathizers, at best. An Israeli court convicted him of terrorism related offenses. It’s not even controversial. It’s like saying El Chapo wasn’t in a cartel or that Trump never gave $3 hand jobs in an alleyway near the Sbarro in midtown NYC that now sits on West 33rd St.

There's a fucking Sbarro in NYC? Why?

[–] NotKyloRen@lemmy.zip 0 points 11 months ago

I've been here my whole life and, honestly, we don't know either. But The Office made fun of it when Michael went to NYC!

For the same reason there’s a TGI Friday in time square. McDonald’s. Olive Garden. It’s there for the tourists that rather have their slop.

But fake NY pizza in NY? Just go to literally any local. It's not like a Sbarro in Kandahar, that I'd get, but this still makes no sense.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I personally know people that think sbarro (and Olive Garden as a proxy) is on par with “other pizza” as its own thing. Those people recognize it’s not “real pizza”; they just like it for what it is.

Tbf, sometimes I'm right there with em, I'm not above drunk ordering some dominos, or on the rare occasion I go to a mall I may hit the Sbarro (but the fake Chinese food wins every time, let's be real), but it's literally the same thing just more fresh and made to better specs! It's not even "real tacos V taco bell," it's such a close approximation of the "real" thing but lacking soul, whereas taco bell is so far from real tacos that it'd be more understandable to prefer the fake version. Like even Olive Garden V real italian I get, because it's americanized enough, but Sbarro is not far enough removed from real pizza as to necessitate this phenomenon.

I could understand getting Sbarro in Chicago, for those averse to deep dish, because it's a whole different style. I could understand some Chicago chain in NYC, for those who want deep dish. I could even understand Jets "detroit" style, because that's different too, but Sbarro in NYC is literally just "worse and more expensive version of the same thing you could have got in 20 different shops on your way here."

Sbarro was founded by two Italian immigrants in Brooklyn, they were probably real NYC pizza at one point

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 11 months ago

Huh, TIL, at one point it probably was.

But at one point people liked Kanye West, too, and then shit happened. Times have changed lol.

"Pro-Israel" and "mob" used to be pretty much mutually exclusive terms.

It's all upside down, inside out, to the point of meaninglessness.

What a time to be alive.

[–] 3abas@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

You just haven't been paying attention. Israel is a fascist ethno-supremacist state from its very founding as a settler-colonial project.

"It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of [Jewish] property. To the people they would vouch for the fact that we do not want to bring about the impoverishment of the countries we leave. The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.”

The good news is we have these assaults on tape, so I'm sure there will be a robust investigation and the attackers will be held to justice. Right?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 0 points 11 months ago

Eventually.

Seriously, this is my hope. Make sure all proof is safe.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

Here's hoping you're right. Maybe all those who helped find the Jan 6th rioters will jump on this bandwagon.

She was a Jew and "The men seem to believe she was part of a pro-Palestinian protest against a visit by Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir earlier that day, but it’s been reported she was just a concerned resident"

[–] Helvetica@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't matter if you are jewish or not. If you dare criticize Israels genocide you are anti-semitic. If you are Jewish you must support Israel and all their war crimes.

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

On behalf of Jim’s and Jimmy’s I’m embarrassed that the other reply to your comment is so shallow, sigh

[–] anarchiddy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Doesn't seem like they're supportive of Israel, no

[–] mcv@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

So a Jewish women protesting against genocide was harassed by a racist mob chanting pro-genocidal slogans.
