anyway it’s truly ‘fuck Israel’ til the day I die

When you see the scenes of the hostage exchange and see all those fighters, it makes you question not why Israel failed to defeat Hamas but rather did they even try?

honestly i think one of the most annoying and frustrating things about some liberal zionists is that while they recognise Palestinians are oppressed by Israel through the occupation/wider colonisation of Palestine (even if they disagree it's colonisation) and they acknowledge the asymmetry of power between the two sides, they somehow are unable to reconcile that simple fact?

[halalchampagnesocialist]

i want to expand further on this because I have ~thoughts~ and they're nothing groundbreaking by any means but worth reiterating. i think there is a reason, as just simply an example of one argument, why liberals trying to assign equal blame to hamas and the Israeli govt for continued violence (and a lack of peace) annoys me. yes, there is no denying that violent attacks by Palestinians do not help Israeli fears of violence (whether those fears are founded or not) but simultaneously it's a narrative that views violence through a myopic lens and really downplays or undermines Israeli state violence and the internal and external regimes enforcing it.

firstly, hamas is sort of irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. as I've said before, hamas is just one of many parties or groups that have come about in response to Israeli occupation, and tbh the juxtaposition of "violent terror hamas v peace loving fatah" is so wrong for many reasons. had Israel succeeded in defeating hamas, no doubt another group would've risen up and as long as occupation and subjugation exist, these groups will always continue to exist.

but i think with that said, there is a core denial by liberal zionists that historically groups which resorted to terror methods to achieve their political aims have almost always disarmed or disbanded their military wings once liberation or independence was achieved in some respect.

the problem here is that so much of the narrative around hamas or similar groups by zionists gets caught up in the 'evildoings' of these 'terrorist groups' whilst turning a blind eye to the daily reality Palestinians face. okay, we can argue that hamas taking civilians inc. children as hostages was condemnable but we also can't ignore there was a concerted hasbara effort to paint all the hostages as "civilians" when many were soldiers whilst Palestinian prisoners were all "convicted murderers." anyway my point isn't to get into the specifics of all this but the focus on the hostages for example played a role in obscuring the thousands languishing in Israeli jails, many for crimes they didn't commit.

but the reality here is it is useless to say "hamas is a criminal terrorist organisation for XYZ reasons" when as the entity with power over Palestinians, Israel effectively sees Palestinian existence as criminal in and of itself. Israel bombed Gaza to the level it did because it had the power to do so. It airstrikes refugee camps in the West Bank because it has the power to do so. It snipes Palestinian kids and adults all the same because it can. It abducts Palestinians in the dead of night and jails them indefinitely without trial or charge because it simply has the authority and power to do so as the occupier. It steals Palestinian land and designates it for Jewish settlements because it has the power to do so. It detains its own (Palestinian) Arab citizens who speak out against the war/occupation so it can silence them. I don't even need to mention that the majority of the world's powers cosigned genocide against Palestinians in Gaza using the excuse of hamas and October 7 whilst any efforts to hold Israel accountable is always obstructed by the world's global superpower, the US.

this brings me to the very last point, when zionists blame Palestinians for not having a state whether it be refusing "peace deals" or "committing violent attacks", what does this really mean? If Palestinians don't have the power to even end or resist Israel's military occupation, then how can they bring about a state despite going through all the relevant channels? What does it mean to be at fault for not having a state when it's your occupier who refuses to leave your land, steals more land, sets up exclusive Jewish settlements, and then blames you? And of course, this is part of the violence enforced by Israel too. To have systems in place that had always been intended on colonisation of Palestinian land, removal of Palestinians where possible, and then blame those same Palestinians for not wanting peace with their occupiers/colonisers.

honestly i think one of the most annoying and frustrating things about some liberal zionists is that while they recognise Palestinians are oppressed by Israel through the occupation/wider colonisation of Palestine (even if they disagree it's colonisation) and they acknowledge the asymmetry of power between the two sides, they somehow are unable to reconcile that simple fact?

It's insane that Zionists are using the scenes of public display yesterday at the hostage release in Khan Younis to call Palestinians savages and call for their elimination, and they dare claim they're not genocidal or that what happened in Gaza wasn't a genocide?

[halalchampagnesocialist]

Sometimes I think it’s funny that everything that Western conservatives harp on about with how their country is being taken over by foreigners, their culture is being faded away etc you’d think they’d support the Palestinian cause but because Israel is aligned with western geopolitical interests and Palestinians are predominantly Muslim, they don’t. Instead they wrongly frame Palestinians and Arabs as invaders in contrast to the native Jew.

Obviously, I’m not saying Western right wing panic about immigration is equivalent to a genuine anti-colonial cause or even applicable in any way but you’d think that by their logic they’d recognise some similarities

I have been wondering if the reason the violence in the West Bank has not received much attention even from advocates who were rightfully vocal about Gaza is due to a lack of understanding of what and where Jenin is in relation to the West Bank. So here is a very, very quick run through that barely scratches the surface:

All of Palestine has been divided by Israel into three main parts.

Historic Palestine, referred to by the Zionist entity as Israel, where Palestinians (referred to as Arabs) live as second class citizens.

The West Bank, occupied by Israel and where Palestinians live in an ever shrinking landmass, continuously being chipped away at by violent Israeli settler mobs. This area is theatrically governed by Israel’s puppet, the Palestinian Authority (the PA), with an apartheid wall running through 80% of it and settler-only roads that render the territory into tiny, isolated bantustans. This is where Palestinians fight two fronts: the PA and Israel.

Gaza, where Palestinians are cornered into a small area and placed under an 18 year total siege by Israel, where even calorie intake is controlled by Israel. This area, likened to a concentration camp, is periodically used as a testing ground for weapons and is where Palestine's worst episode of the ongoing genocide took place between October 2023 and January 2025.

The West Bank and Gaza are not connected geographically. People in the West Bank can’t drive to Gaza and vice versa.

Now, the West Bank itself is also divided into three parts. For a visual representation of this, check out The Palestinian Archipelago but the three areas are:

Area A: comprised of 18% of the land of the West Bank, where administration and security matters are lead by the Palestinian Authority.

Area B: comprised of 22% of the land of the West Bank, where the Palestinian Authority leads administratively, but share security with Israel. Riddled with Israeli checkpoints, this area sees the most dangerous examples of restriction of movement.

Area C: comprised of 60% of the land of the West Bank, where most of Israel’s illegal settlements are, and where Israel has full control, both administratively and security.

Understand this deliberate fragmentation; understand it from a settler colonial mindset of divide and conquer. Understand it as a way for Israel to fragment the Palestinian identity, to make it an almost impossibility for a Palestinian body to act as a sovereign. Understand it as Israel manipulates laws, including occupation law (!) to cast Palestinians and their situation as sui generis; a unique situation due to this fragmentation, which permits Israel to create new, unfounded laws to "control" the native population.

Jenin is in Area A of the West Bank; it has been under a brutal Israeli military assault that has intensified over the past few weeks, with dozens being killed, including children. Definitely not the first assault against Jenin in recent history (watch the documentary Jenin, Jenin for that), but extremely daunting as it emerges in the aftermath of Israel’s accelerated genocide in Gaza where a minimum of 180,000 Palestinians were brutally murdered in the span of 15 months.

Zionists are literally so mad about the little stunt Hamas put on yesterday meanwhile they literally forget that they spent months weaponising October 7 whether it be making false equivalences of Hamas to ISIS, screening their little film around the world, hosting celebrities on atrocity propaganda tours on the Gaza border, spreading falsehoods on the conditions of the hostages in captivity, and they had no remorse whatsoever about what all that propaganda led to. Even with the deaths of tens of thousands and the wholesale destruction of Gaza, they still wanted more and more destruction. Even now, they’re so desperate to clamour for wins after the ceasefire by claiming that Palestinians lied about things like famine etc. I hope you cope and seethe harder, you criminal apologists.

maybe it’s too early to tell but despite the apt comparisons to nazi germany it genuinely feels like the us is heading towards its francoist era in the domestic sense. based on the things I’ve seen that’s just the vibe i get

[halalchampagnesocialist]

The fact that Israel is planning to deport some of to-be released Palestinian prisoners with life sentences just exposes the double standards of the occupation. Not only is it a form of ethnic cleansing but you’re denying them the right to be with their families after decades of being in prison. How many Israeli murderers of Palestinians are walking around Israel scot-free without any accountability?

[halalchampagnesocialist]

If the Palestinian Authority had its way, any future state of Palestine would be a corrupt bourgeois state. One that would not only normalise Israel’s existence in the region, but one that benefits the collaborators in power. One that does trade deals with the enemies of the Palestinian people, one that gets their backing and blessing. If the PA had its way, a future state would come to exist without any mechanisms of accountability for any atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation or any reparations for the Nakba.

Any decent pro-Palestine ally should be against this. One state or two state, Palestinians should decide their future, not a US-backed authority that only entrenches Israel’s occupation but enriches the Palestinian bourgeois and the collaborator class.

i saw a video the other day detailing why we see so much about gaza🇵🇸 but not sudan🇸🇩

it comes down to these 3 key differences

while gaza is much bloodier, gaza has journalists reporting daily. as a journalist you will be targeted viciously but it's a delayed risk because the enemy isn't on ground. your enemies are cowards who plot and kill you from afar.

in sudan it's impossible to report anything because the enemy is walking down your street (if not in your house) like rabid dogs. you will be shot on sight. it's an immediate risk. there is no time to capture or comment on anything. whatever information you put out will be your first and last.

in sudan, the updates come from the warring factions filming themselves, not from civilians. and you can imagine the bias and inaccuracy of their egotistical daily vlogs and official statements.

which is why it's more imperative than ever to follow Sudanese creators and journalists who do report on the little information that does come out.

here's a post on where to get daily updates about Sudan

disclaimer: palestinian press also deal with immediate risks when confronted with IDF on-ground.

this is not an endorsement of candace owens whatsoever but she’s absolutely right here

[halalchampagnesocialist]

Also it’s worth pointing out how hellbent Zionists are on making the false comparison that many of the prisoners are “convicted terrorists” compared to “innocent Israeli hostages” when that’s not true. Many of these prisoners weren’t even convicted or charged as OP points out, many of them not even militants. For example, one of the women released yesterday was originally arrested for “incitement” for a social media post. Others are arrested for partaking in activism against the occupation. Israel arresting Palestinians left and right and slapping any charge on them is also another facet of the disproportionate violence Palestinians face.

Zionists on here that are mad at Israel having to give up more hostages than Hamas are SO close to getting the point that it's actually sad.
