#“it's okay when white people ethnically cleanse Jewish people but the slaughter of palestinians is justified”

[crowleystolemyshoes]

I never have and never will write a callout post or send anon hate but I AM going to talk myself up and make myself feel like such a good person for not doing these things

[rain-droplet]

so both of your arguments are it's okay that people are dying because it's a war ?? tell me, in what war does a country remove water supply from an entire country ? in what war does a country violate 28 international resolutions ? in what war does the UN say it's literal genocide ? in what war does a country literally admit to wanting to flatten another with bombs ? in what war are 41% of casualties children ?

when I say take it outside, I mean special operations forces. I mean stop killing civilians, just hunt down terrorists. Israel is a dragon that got bit by a dog. instead of searching for that dog, they burned down the entire fucking village.

further, Israel has been unlawfully blockading palestine for 16 years, again, according to the UN.

In what fucking war is it okay to bomb hospitals and schools?

don't trust my word ? UN experts say “Such egregious violations cannot be justified in the name of self-defense after attacks by Hamas on 7 October, which we have condemned in the strongest possible terms,”

and the number 25,000 was from estimates saying Israel has killed between 19 and 26 thousand Palestinians

numbers aside, here's a quote from an article on the topic "what constitutes genocide is clearly defined in the 1948 Genocide Convention, and this is exactly what we witness in Palestine today. As leading genocide scholar Raz Segal recently stated, it is clear Israel is carrying out in Gaza “a textbook case of genocide”"

if you don't believe me, you do believe the mass misinformation coming out of Israel, and you don't believe the UN, just look at the event. Israel has been oppressing and attacking palestine for years, every day since the attack by Hamas this year, Israel has killed an abhorrent, indefensible amount of Palestinians. Israel's government openly admits to wanting Gaza razed to the ground. the only two countries in the entire world that don't think this is absolute genocide are Israel and the U.S.(the one commiting genocide and their patron, the one funding it)

It's not about jewish people, it's about Israel's actions and mass fucking murders. if you've looked at Israeli social media recently, it's flooded with awful videos of palestinians being slaughtered en masse, you may have also noticed that the vast majority of the people commenting on those videos are cheering it on. it's awful and indefensible.

Israel commits genocide and hides behind the shield of their nationality and history of oppression, as if that absolves them of their crimes.

would you have me list the war crimes Israel has committed this year ? (these are all actions recognized by the UN)

collective punishment (blockades, preventing water access, etc.)

forcible transfer

the use of white phosphorus

indiscriminate attacks (attacking refugee camps, schools, and hospitals)

attacking hospitals (this one is its own war crime because of how horrible it is)

killing journalists

executing those who have surrendered

abuse and sexual humiliation of detainees

genocide

ethnic motivations

illegal settlements

rewriting law

I'm getting tired of writing these so here is a list of some more

I'm tired and you obviously won't change your mind based on what I say, so if you're going to respond to this, unless you can justify each and every broken UN resolution and committed war crime, your words change nothing.

to clarify, this is not defending Hamas, they are terrorists and they are awful, but they are not palestine. I would also like to separate the IDF from Israel, as many Israelis are against the attacks, however, many are for them as well.

an IDF official stated "there will be no buildings" when talking about their end goal for gaza

the UN states it is a "mass ethnic cleansing" and denounces Israel's "crimes against humanity"

Israel has openly stated that they plan to completely destroy gaza, which alone falls under the definition of genocide alone as genocide is defined by "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,"

Israel plans to destroy all of gaza, which happens to fall under destroying in whole or in part a national group.

now, shut the hell up and consider how many real humans lives Israel is ending. feel a bit of sonder before responding

The thing--the absolutely frustrating thing--for many Jews is that the Left's ideals say that they should be our allies. We are a long-persecuted minority who were displaced from our homeland by colonizers, who have been the repeated victims of genocides and ethnic cleansing. Biased beliefs against us are common, and we need to be listened to. All of these things are points that Leftists say and idealize as being points they're in support of helping.

But, because antisemitism is foundational to a lot of Western ideologies and beliefs, the biases against Jews and Judaism is deep and unrelenting.

So we need to ask, and ask, and ask...

Will they live up to their ideals, or down to their biases?

@moodyehudi blocked me so I had to screencap in order to reblog~

But:

Okay let’s fight

First of all, your ignorance is showing right off the bat with you saying “’Arabic’ people living in Israel”. It’s Palestinian people, there is no “Arabic” people. Arabic is a language, and Arab is an ethnicity.

Second, there are no “affirmative action” policies in place to “protect” us ha. There are over 70 Palestinians cities/villages WITHIN Israel, some of which have existed since before Israel “declared independence”, that are unrecognized and receive no support whatsoever, despite paying the same Israeli taxes as everyone else.

There is a law in place that allows smaller Israeli towns/communities to choose to kick our or prevent Arabs from moving into them in order to preserve their “fundamental outlook”.

There is a bill that makes it illegal for Palestinians within Israel to commemorate their ethnic cleansing

Most Palestinian communities within Israel are devoid of genuine opportunity, receive less funding, and Palestinians are regularly turned away from jobs based on their race.

There is a law that pulls government aid for families of children that have not been vaccinated. This law may seem neutral, but it targets Palestinian families because Israel shuts down the clinics that provides these vaccines to Palestinian communities, leaving these tax-paying families without support.

All of this, and I still haven’t gotten into the fact that Israel was founded on the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, after numerous massacres such as:

The Sa’sa massacre in which Israeli forces massacred 60 innocent Palestinian villagers for no reason other than to “restore confidence” in their terrorist forces

The Jaffa massacre, in which Israeli forces hurled Palestinians into mass graves in their conversion of Jaffa from a Palestinian Arab city into an Israeli Jewish one.

The Deir Yassin massacre, in which Israeli forces gunned down the unarmed men, woman, and children of the village, killing over 100 people, some of whom the Israeli forces would trap in their homes and throw grenades through the windows.

The massacre of Lydda [Lod], in which Israeli defense forces were “ordered to shoot anyone “seen on the streets"”, resulting in these Israeli forces massacring over 250 innocent Palestinian men, women, and children.

The Safsaf massacre, in which over 50 Arab men were executed with their hands tied behind their backs by Israeli forces

Just to name a few, btw, because there are many, many more.

Over 500 Palestinian towns and cities were completely depopulated and burned to the ground.

And I STILL haven’t gone into the blockade of Gaza that has been “formally” in effect since the late 1980′s, but existed before that as well, in which Israel limits the basic living supplies allowed to flow to the Palestinians of Gaza.

Or the over 200 internationally illegal Israeli settlements built in the West Bank of Palestine, on illegally confiscated Palestinian land. These settlements house over 300,000 illegal Israeli settlers, who are provided with weapons to “protect” themselves by the Israeli government. These settlers regularly attack Palestinians and are always protected by the IDF, while those defending themselves from these terrorists face severe consequences, and are often killed in retaliation.

These settlements limit the ability of Palestinians to move within their own land, as they are connected by roads built [or in many cases, stolen] exclusively for Israeli settlers, with very steep consequences for any Palestinian caught driving on them. This results in isolated Palestinian communities surrounded by racist settlers who routinely attack them, burn down olive groves [which feeds into the illegal confiscation of land mentioned above], houses, mosques, and even churches, who are protected by the government.

You know where many of the survivors of these Israeli massacres and ethnic cleansing attempts congregated? In the Gaza Strip, which is one of the most densely populated regions on the planet.

“But Hamas fires from civilian areas!!!” In the Gaza Strip, there is NO “open” land, as everything is nearby something else. You can fire from the center of the most “open” park, and just yards away there will be a hospital or a hotel or homes, etc.

“But Hamas hides behind human shields!” This myth has been debunked time and time again, and is ALWAYS echoed ONLY by Israel. Why is it that no Palestinians seem to complain about being used as shields?

On the other hand, an Israeli high court found that IDF soldiers regularly use Palestinians as human shields.

Many Israeli soldiers are now speaking about about their massacre in Gaza a few Summers ago, and how they knew they were killing civilians, and were even ordered to do so several times.

So Israel literally wiped Palestine off the map and continues to do so through both “legal” means, as well as illegal ones. They massacre us, they steal our land, they lock us into open-air prisons and slaughter us, yet those who choose to defend themselves are the ones blamed for all of this?

This is not to completely absolve Hamas by any means [an organization that was catalyzed by Israel in the first place in order to sow discord amongst Palestinian resistance movements & introduce a radical religious movement], but to pin the blame on Hamas, which is a RESULT of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people. How can this be Hamas’ fault, when Hamas has only existed for the last couple of decades, whereas Israel has been doing this for the last 70 years?

How’s that for black and white?

Fight me :)

The truth about ‘Students for Justice on Palestine’ on campus

If you are on an American campus, you are probably familiar with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) because of their aggressive anti-Israel demonstrations and weird political theater. The organization started as a small, radical anti-Israel group in the hub of student radicalism, UC Berkeley, in October 2000, in response to the Palestinian Intifada which began at almost the same time. Within a year, chapters had spread to over 25 other campuses, including Yale and Princeton. By 2005, chapters had sprouted on campuses across the country and today they have a presence in over 200 of our universities. 

When the SPJ organizes events at your campus, be prepared for an anti-Israel assault and be even further prepared for your liberal classmates to support and even join in on this blatant antisemitism and watch them get away with it because it’s coming from those who can do no wrong - Muslim students. The SJP fomented new radicalism about the Palestinian-Israel conflict and gave a new energy and visibility to Palestinian and Hamas propaganda. The SJP have moved far beyond legitimate criticism of the Israeli government and its policies into complete delegitimization of the Jewish state by organizing and sponsoring anti-Israel events and campaigns more actively than any other group in the nation. 

SJP's declared mission is to “promote the cause of justice” but instead they echo much of what is said by the Hamas terrorists who seek to permanently end Israel's existence as a sovereign Jewish state. The reason for this is simple: SJP was in essence formed to help spread anti-Semitism through the halls of American academia; to wage a campus war against Israel by providing rhetorical support for the Jew-hatred undergirding the Second Palestinian Intifada which Hamas and allied terrorists had launched in late September 2000. 

SJP's principal founder, Hatem Bazian, has quoted approvingly from a famous Islamic hadith which calls for the violent slaughter of Jews and which appears in Hamas's founding charter. “In the Hadith, the Day of Judgment will never happen until you fight the Jews. Oh Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him!” He once spoke at a fundraising event for a Hamas front group that the U.S. government later shut down due to the organization's ties to Islamic terrorism. Notwithstanding Hamas's calls for the mass murder and genocide of Jews, the website of SJP's UC Berkeley chapter describes Hamas not as a terrorist group but rather as “a vast social organization.”  It is commonplace for SJP's rank-and-file members to support, or to at least decline to condemn, Islamic terrorism. At a UC San Diego talk by David Horowitz, a SJP student refused to condemn the terror group Hamas and said if she admitted her support for Hamas then she would be arrested by Homeland Security. Horowitz offered to rephrase the question and asked, “the head of Hezbollah has said that he hopes all Jews gather in Israel so he doesn’t have to hunt them all down globally, are you for or against it?” The SJP shows her true colors by admitting she is for it yet everyone just shrugs their shoulders because she’s Muslim so it’s okay for her to want Jews wiped out. It’s Islamohobia to question her and all those within her group.  The most significant and influential supporter of SJP is American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), which was established in 2005 by none other than SJP co-founder Hatem Bazian. At least eight of AMP's current board members, key officials, and close allies were previously members of now-defunct Islamic extremist groups that funded terrorist activities. 

SJP’s national convention was sponsored by the Islamic Association for Palestine, a now-defunct, Illinois-based front group for Hamas. The conference featured keynote speaker Sami Al-Arian, a former University of South Florida professor who served as the North American leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist organization whose objectives include the destruction of Israel, the elimination of all Western influences in the Middle East by means of armed warfare, and the convergence of all Muslim countries into a single Islamic caliphate. 

A number of SJP chapters hold annual commemorations in honor of the late Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group which Islam expert Robert Spencer has described as “the parent organization of Hamas and al Qaeda.” Al-Banna was an inveterate Jew-hater who firmly opposed the creation of Israel in 1948 and strove to forge a formal alliance with Hitler and Mussolini when World War II broke out. Al-Banna was also the mentor of Haj Amin Al-Husseni, the pro-Hitler father of Palestinian nationalism.

More recently, SJP chapters across U.S campuses have begun to drink saltwater to show their soladarity with Palestine terrorists, specifically convicted terrorist Marwan Barghout, currently being detained in Israeli prisons. They have called it the “saltwater challenge” where the participant drinks one cup of saltwater to show their support which coincides with a surge of SJP’s Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) resolutions demanding that universities sell their holdings in companies that do business with Israel, some of which were introduced or debated during Passover, when Jewish students were unable to attend student government meetings to express opposition. SJP is America's leading campus promoter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, a Hamas-inspired initiative that aims to use various forms of public protest and economic pressure to advance the Hamas agenda of Israel's destruction. While Hamas pursues this goal in its low-intensity war against Israel by means of terrorism and bloodshed, BDS supplements those efforts by pushing for three forms of nonviolent punitive action designed to cripple Israel's economy and bring the nation to its knees politically: Coordinated boycotts that aim to intimidate and coerce corporations, universities, and individuals into breaking off their business relationships with Israel, decisions by banks, pension funds, corporations, and other entities to withdraw any financial investments which they may have made in the state of Israel or in companies that operate there and targeted sanctions, such as trade penalties or bans, arms embargoes, and the severing of diplomatic ties, imposed by governments around the world against Israel specifically. Using these tactics, SJP and its allies in the BDS movement seek to lay the psychological and rhetorical groundwork for creating the false impression that Israel has illegally and immorally usurped large swaths of land that rightfully belong to the Palestinians, likening Israeli public officials and soldiers to “Nazis” and delegitimizing in the minds of people worldwide, Israel's very right to exist as a sovereign state while promoting the idea that this illegitimate Jewish state should be replaced by an Arab-majority alternative. As NGO Monitor puts it, the effectiveness of BDS campaigns is rooted chiefly “in their ability to penetrate the public and political discourse and blur the lines between legitimate criticism of Israel and the complete delegitimization of Israel in the international arena.” 

Particularly notable is the fact that since 2005, a number of SJP chapters have designated one week of every academic year as “Palestine Awareness Week” or, alternatively, “Israel Apartheid Week.” These weeks feature an array of SJP-sponsored events where Israel is repeatedly denounced in incendiary language as an apartheid state that is guilty of human-rights abuses, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and even genocide. Yet no one calls it antisemitic or questions the SJP because they are Muslim students and that would be Islamophobia. 

Protests on college campuses are nothing new. They are a rite of passage for gullible young minds attracted to emotionally-exciting slogans, the simplistic solutions that people not yet educated but convinced of their own brilliance find plausible, and a chance to posture at being morally superior to their society. Campus protests start have to be taken seriously however when a thinly-disguised antisemitic hate-group begins to grow into a nationwide force, turning campuses into hotbeds of Jew-baiting rhetoric that has not been considered acceptable in America within living memory. That the group, which is recruiting U.S. college students by the thousands and the fact that it aligns itself with known Islamic terrorists is alarming. 

If any group wanted to whip up a frenzy of protest for its cause, campuses filled with young, impressionable activists are the perfect, perhaps only, venue in which to do it. Real people have jobs, lives and families, which tend to give them a somewhat more responsible view of the world. College students yearn for serious commitments in their responsibility-free lives, and often find them in extremist politics. They are doing it in a calculated way. The SJP calls Israel "this generation’s South Africa" and call the Jews the real Nazis. These absurd accusations pack a punch with college students on liberal campuses, who are primed and ready to protest anything that non-white people tell them to. 

The SJP says it’s up to today’s college students to help put an end to the "Apartheid State of Israel" by demanding that their colleges and universities divest from companies that do business there. Specifically, the group aims to create public sympathy in the U.S. and around the world for the Palestinians, resulting in economic sanctions against Israel, eventually toppling its "apartheid" regime. SJP is targeting Starbucks, the eternal favorite for student protests of all kinds, plus General Electric, Disney and scores of other companies, using protests on college campuses to pressure these companies. 

What’s troubling about SJP isn’t its flair for dramatic protests or their displays where they dress up as Jewish soldiers and act out raping and beating Palestine civilians, nor is it the group’s opposition to Israel as everyone is entitled to voice his or her own ridiculous opinion in this country. What’s troubling is that the SJP is attracting kids with inflammatory words like "apartheid," and "repression," when they should be saying, "terrorist" and "suicide bomber." 

College students who are recruited into this organization need to know, first and foremost, that they are cozying up to a group with proven ties to terrorism and the Islamic jihad against Israel, America, and the rest of the non-Muslim world. Secondly, they need to open their eyes to realize that the SJP’s tactics are moving well beyond benign, non-violent protests of U.S. foreign policy. 

The group is turning our campuses into forums for open antisemitism which is going either completely ignored or supported by our colleges in fear of inciting an accusation of Islamophobia since it’s coming from Muslim students so instead antisemitism gets linked and blamed on all white/conservative students for no other reason than they are white/conservative. 

SJP supports what most Palestinians call for: nothing less than the abolition of the state of Israel and the only way to bring a lasting peace to the region, they say, is to eliminate Israel. Think about that. Why is this group continuing to go unchallenged? Supporters of this group and those reblogging this group’s posts and accusations need to do their research. This is a dangerous and dishonest organization taking advantage of the ignorance of America’s college youth to promote a deadly agenda. We saw the same thing in the 60’s, we should know better.
