#Israel’s torture centers are supported by US aid & policy. ‘ More horrific than Abu Ghraib’: Lawyer recounts visit to Israeli detention center @israel
Ynet's homepage recently displayed a troubling juxtaposition. The headline "No auditions for Ethiopians at the moment" was sandwiched between an article about Marine Le Pen and an ad for baby food. The ad featured a stock image of a blond, blue-eyed baby - a common yet misrepresentative choice in Israeli media.
Obviously most Israelis don't resemble Scandinavians. The majority have Middle Eastern heritage, while those of European descent typically trace their roots to Eastern Europe, as do most North American Jews.
The persistent use of such imagery in Israeli media fails to reflect the country's diverse population and may explains self Israelis [self] loathing of everything middle estate, like the notorious #Wix reference mentioned.
“… unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans.”
US Says Elections in Iran 'Not Free and Fair', Won't Change Regime's Direction (ok, as we witness the US actively supporting #Genocide in #Gaza, how does it matter if they oppose Iran’s elections? @iran@israel
@crashglasshouses@nullagent@israel I think this part of the Negev is thought - (as is all of it) less desirable, so as long as their sponsors are in the govt., they’ll go.
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?
