“Do you condemn Hamas?: The question we have to ask ourselves is not whether we condemn Hamas, but whether we condemn a settler colonial regime that makes armed struggle necessary for survival.”
“Like them [Hamas] or not, the efforts they have waged and continue to wage have made more of a material impact toward the liberation of Palestine than anything any of us in the West will ever make. They are taking on the brutal violence of colonial power and waging a campaign of armed struggle that has, at the current moment, with coordination with other resistance factions, made the Zionist colony more of a pariah than it has ever been on a global stage and shattered the image of military invincibility and overall stability it has spent decades cultivating. Countless years of struggle have culminated in this flashpoint.”
@zephry@GeriatricGardener@mondoweiss@palestine@israel you forget who invaded who, Israelis Zionists invaded Palestine in 1946, warred against the native inhabitants, you may have heard of it the #Nakba
they slaughtered innocent civilians, men, women, children, drove the rest out of "israel" they've been doing it ever since.
Israel is not a state it's an invading, occupying terrorist army. The only state is Palestine, israel is a zionist colonial idea. Who's end is fast approaching.
#EU / We Condemn the Israeli Lawmaker Calling for a Second 'Nakba'
"Right now: one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join" —— MK Ariel Kallner, head for the Knesset delegation for relations with the European Parliament [October 7, 2023]
[…] We would like to remind MK Kallner of the EU's firm and steady position that all settlements in Palestinian territory are illegal under international law and the EU will not recognise any changes to the pre-1967 borders, including in Jerusalem, other than those agreed by both sides.
[…] We remind MK Kallner and all Israeli officials of their obligations under international law, including the protection of civilians in armed conflict. We also would like to remind MK Kallner that the indiscriminate use of force and the targeting of civilian infrastructure in Gaza are clear violations of these legal obligations, and any attempts to justify or condone such actions are unacceptable.
[…] This is why we ask the Knesset leadership to appoint a new head of the Knesset delegation for the relations with the European Parliament, unless MK Kallner apologizes for these comments and deletes his despicable tweets.
According to the UN, the number of Palestinian #refugees, who were expelled from Palestinian villages and cities during the #Nakba to Gaza, is approximately 1.4 million out of a total population of over 2 million, constituting two-thirds of the population in the besieged enclave, which has been suffering a new Israeli Nakba for the past seven months.
Rajha Abu Khalifa is one of many refugees in Gaza, who are older than Israel.
"I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration amid President Biden's disastrous, continued support for #Israel 's genocide in Gaza."
Remembering the ethnic cleansing, massacres and Zionist terrorism that lead to the creation of #Israel which remains to this day a pariah state and a plague on the Middle East and the world.
Israel's attempt to criminalize discussing the #Nakba, the displacement of Palestinians during its establishment in 1948, is deeply concerning. Labeling such discourse as incitement or support for terrorism poses a grave threat to acknowledging historical truths. For lasting peace in the region, there must be an open reckoning with the tragic events surrounding Israel's birth – events that by design led to the dispossession and suffering of the Palestinian people. This was not mere accident, but an ongoing mission that today’s neo-Zionist ideologues have molded into a [quasi-]religious crusade.
The path to reconciliation demands bringing these realities to light, especially among Israelis. Suppressing discussion of the 1948 violence and its enduring impacts will only entrench the injustices and prolong the conflict. True and lasting peace requires earnest dialogue, historical accounting, and a mutual understanding of the disproportionate losses borne by Palestinians. Silencing these narratives through criminalization is antithetical to the justice and healing that both peoples deserve.
