    Saying Hamas is antisemitic is sure fire sign of being a Zionist.

    Palestinians are a semitic people.

    If you want to saw that Hamas hates Jews, well, when your entire life has been being bombed by planes with stars of David on them, while jackbooted thugs with stars of David on their shoulder kick in your door to kidnap your family members in the night, and settlers with star of David necklaces show up and claim your home and land by divine right, I can start to see where you develop feelings toward the people who carry the same sign.

    Maybe, just maybe, if Israel wanted the world to be a safer place for Jews they would stop associating a genocide with Judaisim as they are so fucking desperate to do.

    99.99999% of the time libraries don’t want donated books. Honestly don’t know if they ever want them (outside of genuinely rare/interesting ones, and even then). Their collections are usually meticulously curated and are basically the children of whomever is currently responsible for them. Libraries throw away books at a prodigious rate as they wear, or their circulation numbers drop, or because they just run out of space.

    Honestly I have no real issue with people destroying (most) books. It’s 2026 we have access to printers and presses, we can literally make more books on demand, and again for the V A S T majority of books that’s more than good enough (again, not counting anything rare/valuable/interesting but also at that point they kinda cease to become just “books” as the value is more tied than the object itself than the text within)

    What I have a massive issue with is them hoarding this information, and/or very, VERY, likely breaking any licensing the book may be under. And on top of that seemingly doing a fucking horrible job at actually creating something worthwhile from this massive waste of man-hours and resources.
