In 2024, the meaning of “pro-Israel, pro-peace” is macabre: J Street supports U.S. military aid to Israel as it carries out a genocide. Liberal American Zionism has revealed itself to only be a tool for the subjugation of the Palestinian people.
“According to the #Guardian, #Independent and #NYT, #Holocaust#Survivors Who Condemn Israel’s Genocide Are The ‘Wrong Sort of Holocaust Survivor’: Interviews with Stephen Kapos, Suzanne Weiss and Rene Lichtman - all Child Survivors of the Holocaust in France and Hungary”
“Ten holocaust survivors have just published a letter in 'Mondoweiss', condemning Genocide in Gaza. It was originally sent to the Guardian, Independent and New York Times. Not surprisingly these ‘liberal’ outlets weren’t interested in anything which strays from the accepted Zionist narrative which says that the only lesson of the Holocaust is that Israel has the ‘right to exist’ as a Jewish Supremacist state and the ‘right to self-defence’ i.e. commit genocide’ against the Palestinians.”

This video is from 2017. Every single Israeli I talked to advocated ethnic cleansing and genocide. It’s not just Netanyahu, it’s Israeli society. @israel
Interesting but definitely not a good sample of Israeli society. Far from it. Religious Zionist, Khanahists, birthright Americans and some random guy. None are secular as far as I can tell. Which often means they’re not liberals. Interviews like this should be done in Hebrew by a person who speaks Hebrew. They’d be more relevant and imho, even more shocking, depends who you meet. Jerusalem is a right wing city, there’s no doubt about that.
Best take away from the interview with Ronnie Barkan: (the Israeli-Palestinian) the conflict is the simplest conflict in the world. For israel to become Palestinians were displace. Everything since 1949 is a coverup of that crime. I should also add that this is no Judaism. Zionism killed that too and created a new golem (monster) which now wears a kippa.
@israel@oatmeal I can’t see that link. So, no - she had all English speakers & one non - but honestly, I also did interviews all over and with a more representative sample and they were also shockingly anti-Arab
On June 8, an estimated 100,000 people formed a two-mile “people’s red line” surrounding the White House in Washington, D.C. to protest the genocide in Gaza and the U.S. role in the mass murder of Palestinians.
On October 7th 2023 Terrorists from Palestine attacked a music festival, raping and murdering hostages resulting in the total destruction of Palestine.
No amount of online propaganda war could make Israel go away.
Critics warn the U.S.-constructed pier off Gaza's coast is being used for military purposes. Now a source in the Gaza resistance says there are indications it will be used to facilitate the forced displacement of Palestinians.
Fifty years ago, I joined in protests against the Vietnam war. Today the mainstream media is smearing pro-Palestine student protests in ways that are even worse than how we were slandered back then.
@robertsmelser@mondoweiss@palestine@israel it sure does seem inherently racist to refer to all Palestinians as terrorists too. Group dehumanization tactics lead to willingness to kill everybody in the group, which is an attitude I've seen people on liberal Mastodon push repeatedly without any repercussion.
Bob Feldman, who protested at Columbia University in 1968, on the student uprising today, “I would tell these students: people will always remember what you did today . . . and I believe they have accomplished much more in 2024 than we did in 1968.”
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel
was back in May 1969 then governor ronny raygun ordered the spraying of protesters at Berkeley with the protesters sprayed from National Guard helicopter. the spray was teargas. damn talk about some fun ... seems like only yesterday.
@kkarhan You are comparing 76 years of crimes against humanity to incidents on one day, while ignoring that the vast majority of the victims were murdered by IDF tanks and Apache helicopters.
It is sickening to read such garbage from sick and despicable people like you, as if we have to thank Netanyahu for not murdering all the 2 million inhabitants of Gaza.
