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.
Palestine has ignited our planetary consciousness once again, and it is the student movement that refuses to let genocide become our new normal. They know that the fight for Palestine is a fight for us all.
How many times did Americans stop a war before? That's the unusual thing, and it would be nice if you were able to see it. Now that a few people are doing something principled and decent in the US for the first time in many decades, do you believe it's the time for nitpicking about the framing? Or did I misread you and you're just creating unnecessary controversy for the sake of it? Let me know.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel because this user blocked me before I could reply, I'll post a screenshot and reply here: it's important to highlight the inaccuracy in the framing because too many people believe the copacetic, whitewashed version of Western history and repeat falsehoods like "this isn't who we are" when this is exactly who they are, and those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Ignoring the fact that the root causes of this genocide are systemic and structural is at best digging one's head in the sand and at worst complicity in a long string of genocides by the western hegemony.
It is unconscionable for Israel to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Israel should be suspended from international sports organizations and events until it ends its grave violations of international law.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel Definitely agree, if Nazi Germany eas barred from the Olympics then so too should all states practicing active and adjudicated Genocide
During a military raid on Jenin, Israeli soldiers strapped an injured Palestinian civilian to the front of a military jeep and paraded him through the street as a human shield. He was eventually handed over to Palestinian medical teams.
#UNRWA: 69% of school buildings housing displaced people in the Gaza Strip were exposed to Israeli bombardment or were directly damaged.
This is a new low in any war in recent history.
Any other country would have been subject to countless sanctions, global condemnations and even blockades, but not Israel.
The current American threats to sanction the ICC could spell the death of International Law. Whatever little hope people had for a just international system will disappear.
A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.
Holocaust survivors say using the Holocaust to justify genocide in Gaza and repress student protest on college campuses is an insult to the Holocaust's memory.
Is it okay to hate that person or it makes me Anti semitic?
How can anyone be that disgustingly inhumane? It's an innocent kid for gods sake.
PS. By the way the account wasn't suspended or limited after such disgusting comment.
@faab64@palestine@israel
From a strategic/moral/societal perspective, hate on groups should never be an answer, ever. I wish we could break that cycle.
You feel what you feel. No need for external validation.
@gogowitsch Are you for real? Did you even read what I wrote?
Is it okay to hate that person or it makes me Anti semitic?
Your ridiculous BS respond to my post is a typical of assholes who think you have a moral pedestal to stand on when watching such disgusting comment from a pro-Israeli monster and all you have to say is to try to lecture me about your wishful gumbaya crap.
@messaroundmarx@palestine@israel
I thought it was a gift, since I asked for it that way. Maybe it expired, since I selected it a few days ago.
Sorry about that, and thanks for creating another alternative.
@plink@palestine@israel They just don't want the world to see their atrocities. It is that simple. They control the borders and who can go in and out. They want to be able to kill with even more impunity.
There are now two different visions in Israeli politics for how the war should progress. Netanyahu would have the war continue without end, while Gantz would accept a ceasefire but find a pretext to resume the fighting once the captives are released.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel This is just insanity, how do these people just murder everyone, hate everyone and get to do whatever they want to anyone. They attack everyone and NO ONE does the right thing. They are a cancer to the word. Zionists need to be eradicated as they have done to so many others, they are just the worst and need to go back to german and poland where they are now accepted gleefully
A brutal, nine-hour, multi-agency police assault against unarmed protesters at UC Santa Cruz shows the university would rather use violence against its own students than address demands to divest from genocide.
Asking for feedback
The phrase "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free" has caused a lot of confusion - some of it genuine and some caused by willful manipulation.
I'm trying to come up with a graphic that can get across what most of those supporting Palestinian freedom mean by it - not expulsion of Jews but freedom and equality for all living there.
Below is a graphic that might end up on a t-shirt.
I've been trying to figure that out @peter_link
The Zionist hasbara is that any attempt to prevent them being the Master Race from the river to the sea is antisemitic. Of course, if they succeed in that, they'll move on to "Greater Israel". @palestine@israel
@peter_link@palestine@israel I don't think you can cut through this controversy with good will, since most of those engaging in it are bad faith actors.
I also think that, however desirable it might be, a one state solution in #Palestine is now impossible.
