To protect that evil racist settler-colonial genocidal apartheid fascist state, that ruling class with the help of large section of that rotten society has invented a whole new phrase — "holocaust inversion".
No healthy community would grant this level of abuse to our sense of accommodation, so they can protect a political entity whose documented genocidal evil acts can be compared to some of the worst modern atrocities of ours & last generation have witnessed.
Nazis in 30–40s could get away with the crimes they did because of impunity. We don't have to give any quarter to anyone who emulate that behavior & commit them with similar impunity — while we are forced to operate with one hand tied behind our back because we are required to operate within a fraudulent set of parameters our enemy forces us to operate under.
Accepting the logic of enemy — when the logic is not self-evident — is nothing but giving comfort to the enemy. Yes, I am aware of the fact that our words mean very little when compared to the direct actions of brave & respect worthy comrades — both Jewish & non-Jewish.
But still, we don't have to give quarter to our enemy — whether on this issue/any other issue. We are dealing with scum of the earth — worse than bottom of the barrel stuff, not some reasonable society who disagree on minor interpretation of words (I am speaking about vast majority of that society, not outcasts/comrades like us in that society who hold anti-mainstream views).
So far, I haven't seen a convincing justification for this "holocaust inversion" that other than: There are a tiny fringe Nazis in Western societies that want to harm Jewish comrades if we use that specific comparison to that fascist entity accurately — however one see it as.
Isn't the logic of this "inversion" antisemitism by itself by saying Jewish people can only be protected unless we attack that fascist entity under the terms that fascist entity has set, there by tying all Jewish people to Israel?
When we have internally inconsistent parameters, when on the face of it are designed to protect the entity from harsh criticism (not all words lead to action, but some definitely do lead to action), a reasonable question ask is:
Are we doing more harm (or) less harm by accepting the logic of the enemy?
@VoxClamans@plink@palestine@israel Except for propaganda purposes? Interesting.
Quoting the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide", the official document that defines genocide, Article II:
"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
You piece of human crap. I'm not asking you to change your views, I'm asking you to stop presenting lies as facts.

The second invasion of al-Shuja’iyya is a war of attrition #Israel has been forced into a war of attrition as the #Palestinian resistance has reconstituted itself across #Gaza
@plink@palestine@israel Like Britain First posting about animal rights as clickbait to get more eyes on their more nefarious content. #freepalestine
Liv Kunins-Berkowitz, Jewish Voice for Peace:
"While it is essential that everyone speak up & use their platforms to oppose the Israeli military’s genocide in Gaza, we are alarmed by those who are exploiting this moment to promote their own platforms, especially when they have a history of promoting white supremacy, antisemitism, & homophobia."
At an event in March, Rep. Rashida Tlaib joined with Christian, Muslim, and Jewish faith leaders to convey a single message: our fight for the oppressed in Palestine is also a fight for the integrity of our country and the survival of democracy.
We need an alternative approach to understanding Palestine that situates it within the wider region and the Middle East’s central place in our fossil fuel-centered world.
