#It's only genocide if PALESTINE gets wiped off the earth. Not ISRAEL

[infiniteglitterfall]

Yes! Don't believe all the bullshit stories about mass rapes.

Just because some of the survivors SAY they witnessed repeated gang rapes by Hamas doesn't mean it's true.

I'm sure this woman's family would know whether she was raped! It's not like they're going to cover that up to protect her or something. She's already dead!

That NY Times article doesn't even seem like it talked to her family. No quotes from them. All it has is quotes from total strangers claiming Hamas raped people.

Like "Four witnesses described in graphic detail seeing women raped and killed at two different places along Route 232, the same highway where Ms. Abdush’s half-naked body was found sprawled on the road at a third location.

"And The Times interviewed several soldiers and volunteer medics who together described finding more than 30 bodies of women and girls in and around the rave site and in two kibbutzim in a similar state as Ms. Abdush’s — legs spread, clothes torn off, signs of abuse in their genital areas."

I mean, what kind of proof is that? And then they talk about "one woman’s corpse that emergency responders discovered in the rubble of a besieged kibbutz with dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin" and "two dead Israeli soldiers at a base near Gaza who appeared to have been shot directly in their vaginas."

Were any of those women Gal Abdush? OBVIOUSLY NOT, so why even mention them?

The Times really went out of their way to fill that column space with extraneous nonsense. They even interview some random accountant who talks about "seeing groups of heavily armed gunmen rape and kill at least five women."

She says "she then watched another woman 'shredded into pieces.' While one terrorist raped her, she said, another pulled out a box cutter and sliced off her breast. 'One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road.'

"She said the men sliced her face and then the woman fell out of view. Around the same time, she said, she saw three other women raped and terrorists carrying the severed heads of three more women."

Come on. Do you even know how hard it is to cut off someone's head?! IT'S REALLY HARD. I haven't done it, but one time I had to finish beheading a chicken, and that was tough enough!

And THEN they talk to Raz Cohen, who has been doing interviews since early October talking about all these gang rapes he supposedly saw! So then HE tells them about seeing five men passing a screaming naked woman around, taking turns raping her before one knifes her to death.

And his "fashion designer" "friend" who was hiding with him at the music festival says he saw it too, and talks about the five guys laughing and chatting and giggling about it.

The article just goes on and on and on and on! All these first responders and coroners and whatever, talking about how they found dead women with their vaginas cut open, dead women with bloody crotches whose fingernails had been torn out, dead teen girls with semen on their bodies.... It's like, okay, we get it already! You don't have any proof that Gal Abdush was raped! 🙄

please stop scrolling and take the time to read this.

i don't think people understand the extent of the horror happening in palestine right now. "death" means nothing to people because of desensitisation so let me just tell you what white phosphorus is. it's being used in israeli munitions and has been and will continue to be fired across gaza and the palestinian borders.

white phosphorus burns when it comes into contact with oxygen (at nearly 800°C or 1500°F. the human body can withstand ~50°C for reference.) the air you breathe in ignites and it is near impossible extinguish. it sticks to clothing and skin and is very difficult to remove because it will continue to ignite in air. it burns flesh up to the bone and even past the bone because it penetrates tissue and is absorbed VERY easily. if you inhale it it'll destroy your respiratory tract and lungs. it can cause failure in multiple organs including the liver, kidneys and heart. it is being released in one of the most densely populated places on earth.

the only way to treat someone exposed to white phosphorus is to submerge them in saline or water and to pick out the substance with forceps, and when you undress a wound the substance can re-ignite. this is just ONE weapon that is being used to kill palestinian people right now. palestine does not have access to medical care, humanitarian aid, power, or internet. their hospitals are being bombed. gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world with over 50% of the population being children. many children are the sole survivors of their families. there are videos of children experiencing panic attacks and symptoms of ptsd. the fact that israel has committed war crimes in plain sight means that we can only imagine what will happen to the palestinians in complete darkness.

israel has and will continue to deny this. your interests and fandom will still be here, you will wake up tomorrow morning and see your friends and family, but an entire nation of people are being wiped off the map. being silent is being complacent. reblog, spread information, tell people in real life, attend protests, sign petitions, call your government offices, at the very least be angry and upset and horrified because once you become numb and indifferent and hopeless the oppressors will have already won.

what's happening right now is more than a genocide and once it becomes a part of history we'll wonder how the world let this happen. genocides have been part of all nations. just because it is far away does not mean you don't have to be concerned. the fact that YOUR governments and YOUR idols and the people around YOU are supporting the mass eradication of an entire group of people should scare you. it shouldn't make you feel anything less than sick and angry and disgusted. DO something about it, no matter how small you feel your voice is, because palestinians no longer have one.

[edit] links to some helpful reblogs: one & two

post on how you can help palestine

learn about palestine with this masterlist of info

+ a further reblog of mine

[edit 2] about palestinians "not having a voice" at the time i wrote this post internet connection was cut off entirely and even journalists weren't able to report for a period of time — that is all i meant by that. they of course have a voice and i never meant to undermine how people are risking their lives in gaza to get information out there and i apologise if thats what people took from it, it was not my intention but it is entirely my bad. please continue to spread information and updates from gaza as they come.

[kick-a-long]

Stuff like this is why I get so pissed off at accusations of genocide and apartheid.

Why would a genocidal country pause a war to vaccinate at least 90% of Gaza kids against polio as soon as the first case of a two year old paralyzed by type 2 poliovirus is confirmed? If they wanted gazans wiped off the earth they would keep the war going and vaccinate Israeli kids and citizens. If they wanted them dead they would never vaccinate “the enemy.” Russia wouldn’t do that.

I see you dickheads in the comments, “it’s for optics! Plus they must be worried about Jews getting it from them! That’s the only reason they want to vaccinate anyone. Plus vaccines are poison even checked by the WHO! They probably have autism in them!”

If it’s an apartheid why would Palestinians have access to the same places and bodies of water as Israelis? And if they don’t why would Israel vaccinate. The Regan administration didn’t respond to the HIV outbreak in the 80s because they hated gays and drug users and wanted them sick, spreading it, and most importantly dead. During peace time to their own citizens.

All Israel would have to do is ignore the outbreak.

Vaccines work. Polio is one of the most devastating diseases a kid can get. There’s no medication that can stop the damage once you get the virus. Lil kids die from diarrhea, are paralyzed for life and if they’re immune system doesn’t stop the paralysis at their legs it climbs up their bodies and once it hits their diaphragm (the muscle that lets you breath right under your rip cage) kids as young as a few months old to their teens will die from lack of air. Both are the absolute worst and most painful ways a person can die. Waking nightmare delusions from dehydration and low oxygen on top of the physical pain.

Nazis infected Jews with this shit intentionally to study how polio affects children. Israel is stopping in the middle of a war to end the polio outbreak when they are still trying to rescue kids so young they have spent the majority of their lives on earth in Hamas captivity. And after only one kid was confirmed with polio type 2, the one that causes paralysis.

How can it be a genocide or an apartheid when they are literally helping safeguard Palestines next generation of kids?

[xclowniex]

Again, calling what’s happening Palestine a “war” is a crock of bs

Cause last I saw, Israelis aren’t being displaced from their homes and constantly being shuffled around to “safe zones” and then being bombed while at these “safe zones”

Their hospitals and homes and schools are still in tact and they have food and water and shelter

Israeli journalists aren’t being intentionally targeted and murdered

Israelis aren’t having to eat dirt and leaves in order to survive, they’re not being starved to death

All of the above is happening to Palestinians, while the IDF targets them day and night in some weird hope to “wipe out Hamas” even though their efforts have been quite shit and instead are just killing any Palestinian that’s in their way

How is it antisemitism to point out that the lives of Palestinians are being put in danger by the hands of Israelis

It’s never been about Hamas or the hostages it’s full blown ethnic cleansing and genocide, why you need to the “approval” from some “experts” when the evidence is shown day in and day out is beyond me

And quit it with the whole “oh no one should be dying” BS when it’s just “all lives matter” in a different font

1. The safe zones they move to are no longer safe zones because Hamas uses them as military zones and undertakes military business in those zones. Under international law, it is a war crime to use a protected building or zone as it makes it no longer a protected zone and makes Israel allowed to attack the area. Whilst intentionally killing civilians is also a war crime and would be the IDF's fault, if any civilians get caught in the crossfire or get any stray fire, Hamas is at fault for their deaths. If hamas cared for their civilians, they would not carry out military business in safe zones.

2. Journalists aren't being intentionally attacked. Hamas and AL Jazeera misreport who are journalists. For example, a builder who was killed was reported as being a journalist. He was not a journalist. Here is a source which goes into it and shows examples of the lies.

3. It is absolutely terrible that Palestinians are starving, but it is not Israel's fault. Enough aid enters the strip to feed people in Gaza. However Hamas and UNWRA staff (which has links to Hamas), instead of letting aid org deal out aid evenly, steals aid and sells it. Palestinians are literally having to purchase aid from Hamas. Aid that they are supposed to get for free. Source.

4. Saying that i don't want anyone dying is not at all akin to saying all lives matter. One is an opinion, the other is twisting a phrase to change the meaning of the original phrase.

Black lives matter means that obviously all lives matter however black lives need to be focused on due to being at a higher risk. All lives matter twists black lives matter into a false meaning of only black lives matter and no other lives.

Saying that "I don't want anyone to die" is a factual statement of my opinion. It is a fact that i do not want anyone to die. It's not me twisting it to make it seem like Palestinian lives are lesser or that no one should be focusing on Palestinian lives.

Considering your media literally is already poor enough for you to believe misinformation, it is not surprising that you lack the reading comprehension to understand the difference between an actual opinion and a phrase being twisted to change the meaning of another phrase.

Lastly, yeah, I am waiting for people with the authority to call what Israel is doing a genocide as since the last ruling on the matter, Israel was not found to be committing genocide at that point in time yet people were screaming their heads off claiming that Israel was.

I like to wait for people who have the authority because they are more knowledgeable than me. Do you believe that the earth is flat because people scream online that it is? Or do you go by what people who have the relevant qualifications say on the matter which is that the earth is round?

The reason why it's antisemitic to call Israel genocidal, is because the current official rule on the matter is that they are not doing genocide and that false claims of jews being murderous is an antisemitic trope. Like legitimately, it is an antisemitic trope in the proto of elder zion, an infamous antisemitic book. Jews have been plagued for centuries with claims of using children's blood, which is false and antisemitic. I am not going to apologize for calling out the same age old antisemitic tropes repackaged for the modern day

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

So this should have been an ask rather than a message. But I'll hide your name so there's no claims of doxxing.

Ok so first I'll address the last claim.

Gaza is extremely anti LGBT. Most of the Muslim world actually is. Because in miss countries that practice Islam have a few practices to deal with gay people. Castration, jail, or death. It's extremely common to find in most nations. Gaza isn't an exception. The region has it's own laws, specifically that of jailing people whom are gay. For 10 years.

The second claim revolves around the fact that scholars have made pretty definite claims that most all the Philistines are fundamentally gone. Sure it's likely you'll find traces in your blood line somewhere but no that land area has not been occupied by "Palestinians" for a long time. It's actually rather recent.

Also I can separate the people who support Gazan people from people who suppose Hamas, except you all give me on reason to. You lie about hostages, beheadings, and rapes. Most all of you call the Jewish people colonizers when historically almost ALL of that land is their land. What's more while there isn't a voting system in Gaza, Hamas was supported into a position of power through bribery etc by the current people of Gaza.

Believe whatever you want. But don't pretend that one of the most traditional conservative (to an extreme) religions on earth is actually pro LGBT. They aren't. You are all a disposable pawn in their quest to purge the world of every faith not their own. What's more, I'd treat most of you in better faith if most of you were not liars who believed in propaganda. News comes out of a bomb or rocket blowing up a hospital by hamas. Then mainstream leftists do nothing but cover that Non-Stop. Then come to find out it was actually a rocket fired by Hamas that misfired fell back down and blew up a parking lot.

I would treat you all in better Faith generally if y'all didn't believe the mindless propaganda of people who want to see the Jewish people wipe from the face of the Earth. Because it's been pro hamas people and pro Palestinian people who have torn down missing persons signs from the October 7th attack. It's been pro Hamas and pro Palestinian people who have said that Hamas did nothing wrong. It is pro Hamas and pro Palestinian people who have shouted a genocidal term which is from the river to the Sea. Except again historically that land never belonged to them.

I hate taking sides on these wars and other things across the world because it always gets polluted by bleeding heart leftist who think brown people good white people bad and y'all consider Jews white which is the only reason most of you are even upset. I would honestly treat most of you and better faith, if I did not see leftists and progressives harass Target and threaten none Israeli Jews around the world because of a fight going on in a different country that these people have nothing to do with.

If you have zero sympathy for the people who got raped beheaded murdered or kidnapped on October 7th you are pro Hamas. And people who say that their pro Palestinian will never ever get an ounce of Mercy from me. And if you want to know why it's because those same people absolutely never care about the victims on the Israeli side. They either say that they deserve it they call them colonizers or they excuse it because they are "not human".

Having said that, if you are one of the people who cares about both sides in this fight especially all of the innocent people. I will treat you with some level of good faith. But if you have no care for the Israelis that were hurt killed or brutalized. Then I absolutely believe 100% you are pro Hamas. Because as far as I'm concerned you all take pro Hamas propaganda at face value which is a group of people who want Jews wiped off the Earth and everything that comes out of Palestine news wise is almost completely Hamas propaganda in their quest to destroy Israel. That land in mass does not belong to the current residence of Gaza. Almost unilaterally that land belongs to people of Jewish descent. And the fact that they gave that land to the current people referred to as Palestinians should show that they actually care at least a bit. Because honestly if they wanted genocide like everyone claims they could glass Gaza and every other place with Palestinian residents overnight. And I mean glass in the literal sense.

Because the fake before and after photos we keep seeing of Gaza show that it was extremely high-end. They were rich. We're all Palestinians rich? Probably not but a lot of the before and after photos showed a lot of really really high-end housing hotels and businesses. And yet the people who are pro Palestine insist that it was an open-air prison and that they were just treated to the worst atrocities. Sure.

[infiniteglitterfall]

those must be some EXTREMELY Confused Jews, because "professing loyalty to Israel" sounds like something from a Jewish AU of the McCarthy Era.

Or else what they're saying is being misunderstood.

Which is what these memes imply to me.

Here. I'm a "Diaspora Zionist." Can you explain to me why you think of Zionism as professing loyalty to Israel?

I fully agree that Israel is a nation-state that does all the things nation-states do. Can you explain to me what that has to do with Zionism?

People seem to have two main definitions of Zionism. One is basically "a specifically Jewish movement in support of genocide."

This is the "Zionism = [Racism/Genocide/White Supremacy]" version.

The other one is basically "the belief that it's okay for Israel to continue to exist."

The second one is effectively what the belief of every Zionist I've ever met boils down to.

For several months last year, I thought that all the vehemently anti-Zionist people were redefining it, from "what people who call themselves Zionists actually believe" to, basically, Jews 4 Genocide.

But the more I heard from the movement, the more people I saw saying that Israel shouldn't exist. In a very immediate, concrete kind of way.

Like, "Jews go back to Poland; all of it is Occupied Palestine; Israel isn't a country, it's a genocidal settler-colonialist project and there are no innocent Israeli civilians; Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth."

The meme above about "a small group of European Jews who explicitly said they were doing colonialism" implies to me that you're talking about the latter.

Personally, as an American citizen, living in a state that wiped out the Yahi people entirely, I find it extremely confusing that we point our fingers at anybody else. And yet, there's no word for the belief that it's okay for the United States to continue to exist.

Maybe that's partly because if we could wave a magic wand and instantly give all the land back to the groups it belonged to 500 years ago, transporting everyone else back to one of their countries of origin, the indigenous groups here no longer have the social infrastructure they used when they were self-governing. Or the number of people that let their societies function. Or the ecosystems that let their societies function. Or, often, their languages and cultural practices. Or their homes. Or a way to maintain the infrastructure that's there now.

Also, that's not what they're asking for, at all. The Palestinians are in a very different situation in a lot of ways, but they're the exact same on this point. Hamas is explicitly fighting for the violent destruction of Israel; its propaganda is why that idea has spread so far here. But the two-state solution is the only one that has any traction in Gaza:

In a June survey across a representative sample of 1,500 randomly selected Palestinians in both the West Bank and Gaza, support for a two-state solution, "side by side with Israel," was MUCH higher in Gaza than in the West Bank. Possibly because Hamas treats the people of Gaza like poisonous garbage.

A specifically anti-Zionist group seems like a bad idea to me, both because it implies Bad Things for two million Arab Israelis and nearly half the Jews on earth, and because it's the opposite of centering and supporting Palestinians.

I assume that your group isn't actually out there demanding that Israel get wiped off the earth, but what is it for? (wait. Unless it's JVP?) (If it's one of the JVP chapters that's like,

then I guess I understand what it's FOR, just not why it's Like That.)

my local Jewish antizionist group keeps getting emails from very confused Jews trying to square the circle of how we can be Jewish without professing loyalty to Israel so i made some educational memes

i also made one for the Christians so they wouldn't feel left out :)

Jordan Peele’s Support of Israel

Though his films all have a central theme of oppression and the right for the oppressed to rebel, to many peoples’ surprise Jordan Peele signed the letter addressed to Joe Biden thanking him for funding the Israeli genocide of the native Palestinian peoples. When Chris fights back against the Armitages’ in Get Out, his violence is not only depicted as necessary but triumphant. In Us, the violence against the tethered is painted in a similar narrative. Yet, in the real world oppressor and oppressed dynamic between the subjugated Palestinians and the oppressive, apartheid Israeli state, Jordan surprisingly aligned himself with the state that is carpet bombing civilians.

The destruction occurring in the Gaza strip is far more horrifying than any Hollywood thriller could possibly be. Entire families are being wiped off the earth, entire neighborhoods turned to rubble. Food, water, internet, fuel and electricity are all absent in the Gaza strip and the aid from neighboring countries is currently blocked from entry. A people with no organized military are being subjected to the equivalent of the atomic bomb in one of the most densely populated zones in the entire world. 

As a racial peer of Jordan’s, being half black and half white, the intertwining of the Palestinian struggle and the black American struggle is blatant. We are both presumed guilty and police states follow a policy of shoot first, ask questions later. Our parents and grandparents, like the Palestinians, know what it is like for “your” state to bomb your people. Israel would not be able to carry out the decades of subjugation without the billions of US aid, which Israel then uses to develop new war technology that is then shipped back to the US (and around the world). One example is the facial recognition tech that cops use to target organizers.

Like in the 2020 Candyman, Palestinians also remember their martyrs. They hang posters of them and keep their memories alive. It's how they cope with the fact that this happened, that it's still happening. Undoubtedly, many of these posters have been lost in the brutal bombing of the Gaza strip. As black Americans we have immense pain in our histories, as do the people of Palestine. Stolen from our homes, subjugated for our race and humiliated we share a common struggle. 

A few years ago, I adopted a policy of not deifying celebrities. I think 2020 showed many that their biggest allegiance is not to their race, where they came from or to the same moral systems that many of us hold dearly; it’s to their class. Their class of being the ultra wealthy, ultra powerful. It’s a shame that someone who has created thought provoking works centering oppression would support the genocide of an entire people. Frankly to me, it’s more confusing than anything else. But we do know that people who have spoken for Palestine have lost connections to major companies. Perhaps this motivated Peele, perhaps we will never know why he signed the letter. As human beings, I believe we have the responsibility to call Israel what it is: a colonial apartheid state. Protest, use your voice, donate, and boycott Starbucks, McDonald’s and Disney. Free Palestine.

[partisan-by-default]

This time it's all of us or none"

With people all around posting "I stand with", I've been conspicuously absent from social media this week, struggling very deeply with how it's possible to stand with anyone or anything on such shaky ground, how it's possible to respond in any way to such atrocities.

At the risk of making something so huge about me (but isn't that how we humans process things?), as a left-wing Jew, I have never in my life felt so alienated from both my identity communities.

People I love and respect calling for or apologising for genocide and war crimes. It doesn't matter who by or who upon. It is horrifying. How have we come to this? How can we get past it?

And I know this trauma is nothing compared to those under the bombs or in front of the guns. But I cannot stop shaking. There's no steady ground. How can you stand? Let alone stand with?

One thing I want to clearly observe is that it feels like the very idea of nonviolence is taking a horrific battering, as people rush to one side or another, concluding that wiping the other off the face of the Earth is the only solution.

I feel horribly alone, a lot of the time, insisting that violence will only create more violence. But if there is one thing I am certain of, in these shifting sands, it is that neither security nor liberation can be achieved through violence. It is a universal truth, and nowhere more obvious than in Israel / Palestine.

Using violence to achieve ends is wrong morally, and it is wrong strategically and structurally. Violence disconnects us. Violence dehumanises us. Violence drives us apart and makes it harder to find solutions. And violence at any level infects us at every other level. Committing violent acts politically is integrally related to interpersonal violence, to sex and gender-based violence, and to interspecies violence.

Having said this, it is nevertheless obvious that, when oppressed people who have been the subjects and targets of violence lash out with violence themselves, we empathise with their actions. Of course we can understand why they would do such a thing. But that does not mean what they are doing is right - morally or strategically or structurally. We can understand without endorsing. And we can differentiate between limited, responsive and targeted violence, and indiscriminate horrors.

And here's the thing: if we can acknowledge that for one "side", we must also for the other. If we understand why Palestinians have broken under the strain, we must also see that Israel itself is exactly that - a people persecuted and murdered and massacred for countless generations crying out "enough, no more, we must be strong!" And vice versa.

And we see where that has led: to an intractable horror where one people's security is dependent on another's imprisonment and mass murder, and where that people's liberation is dependent on another's annihilation.

Except that it's not. It really isn't, is it?

This is what Netanyahu and Haniyeh and Smotrich and Deif and Ben Gvir (and Biden and Albanese) want us to believe. These are the lies of the maniacs that generations of trauma and populism and assassination have left in charge. These are the fever dreams of men who cannot imagine a response that is not ever more violence.

These are not the dreams of real people. They're not the dreams of the children sharing playgrounds, the peace-seekers breaking bread together, all those working to create dialogue.

Nonviolence is the only successful path to justice, security, liberation. Its entire philosophy draws from the recognition that oppressive, coercive power creates obedience through fear, and that it is neither feasible nor desirable to beat such power at its own game. The historical record since time immemorial, and detailed analysis (that I go through in my book, if you're interested) of the modern era, shows that nonviolence is the most successful tool for overthrowing oppressors and building effective new, less oppressive systems.

It is successful because it replaces fear with hope, destruction with creation, division with coexistence.

Violence creates enemies of allies and potential friends, while nonviolence creates allies out of enemies - quite literally, by creating space for defectors from armies and guards.

Points of rupture, like we've seen this week, expose the values each of us truly lives by. If we are willing to discard those values when it gets hard to believe them, we have to challenge ourselves ever harder, ask ourselves why.

I believe, if we can lift ourselves out of the trauma response, we are better than this. We all are. My Jewish friends and family. My leftist friends and family.

We cannot cross until we carry each other.

[discoursedumpster]

this is the most deliberately misleading shit, holy fuck.

I mean, literally everything el-shab-hussein posts, except hopefully??????? for verifying gofundmes? is deliberately misleading propaganda.

Above, from bottom to top, we first have two pics from the Lehava group who are NOT "Zionists," they are not even far-right Kahanists, they are full-on terrorists. And widely recognized as far-right fascist terrorists across Israel. The giant quotes are from one member's absolutely unhinged Facebook rants. Which, as with unhinged terrorist rants anywhere, are now all over the media.

This is the equivalent of posting this crap:

as a representative sample of what Palestinians want.

Second, gee, turns out if you fact-check your shit, the very careful phrasing of "an elementary school that taught Palestinian children" -- not "a Palestinian elementary school," not "a school in Palestine" -- is there for a reason!

It's because the school the far-right fascist terrorists torched was a Jewish-Arab school in Jerusalem - the bilingual Max Rayne Hand in Hand School. And I guess the "Jewish" part doesn't serve the narrative well enough?

Oh, never mind, I get it. The fact that there's a bilingual school in Jerusalem for both Jewish kids and Arab kids to learn together... and that this was a terrorist attack in Jerusalem... was bad for the "Israel is solely composed of Bad Genocidal Jews" narrative. Gotcha.

Third: that sign from "the Zionist rally in the occupation" -- which is the most BLATANT tell that you're just a Hamas propagandist, like seriously I hope PFLP is paying you for this because you're working your damn ass off on this webbed site --

it doesn't say "One People, One State, One Leader"!! I know, someone with a Jewish-sounding last name mistranslated it on the internet, I saw it too, it's easy to mistranslate, I don't care.

It says, "As One, One Country, One Leader." She's advocating for a one-state solution in which Palestine, which is currently 100% Arab and 99% Muslim, can join the Arab Israelis in peace or some shit.

I don't think that's what Palestinians want. But at least it's less violent than Hamas's one state solution, which is "we're going to violently destroy Israel because Jews corrupt every society and are morally corrupting Islam somehow."

Of course, nobody knows what the people of Gaza and the West Bank want. Because neither the PA nor Hamas has given them any sort of a vote in the past 18 years.

Next up: Hamas is NOT the Palestinian Resistance movement. Puhlease. Resistance to the existence of Jews maybe. Resistance to any kind of peace if there are still Jews around, definitely.

This is not a "resistance movement":

This is not "resistance":

Next up: yes, definitely a German Jew is like, "Genocide's fine if I'm not the target!"

Not only do Jews NOTORIOUSLY LOVE genocide, but the Germans absolutely aren't the only country on earth that's done anything at all to try to understand how genocides can occur and how you prevent that shit!

That's DEFINITELY what that article will say when I open it up!

Goyim: (commit brutal, fiery pogroms an average of once a year for at least a century and a half; actively try to wipe out all Jews on earth; succeed in killing half of them in only four years; proceed to follow that up by stripping Jews of their citizenship across the MENA region, declaring open season on them, and passing laws that confiscate their property if they die or flee, until literally the entire region is ethnically cleansed except for Israel)

Also goyim: "[spongebob mocking voice] Genocide's fine if I'm not the target!"

But first, the white supremacist claim that ACKSHUALLY, The Joos killed themselves!!!!

The Cradle is not a valid source for anything. This link doesn't give any evidence at all that the IDF killed most of the people at the festival. It's a motley assortment of unconnected statements. Most of which are flatly untrue speculation.

Like, "For Hamas to have executed a plan involving elaborate disguises, the Nova operation would have had to be pre-planned, and the Israeli police investigation has already ruled that Hamas was unaware of the festival in advance."

Bruh. The invasion overall was planned for two years, and targeted army bases as well as kibbutzim. They absolutely could have brought IDF disguises and/or police disguises for those places.

Nor is it relevant, because when a whole bunch of people are running from terrorists, across open ground, yeah, there is going to be gunfire around them. Sniper fire is the smartest way to attack the terrorists in that situation, because then at least you have someone who's at a distance, with the ability to see their target clearly, who's trained to shoot someone far away in a group of civilians.

The article goes on to claim that Hamas couldn't have burned cars because they didn't have a lot of bullets. Does this author not know how fire works??

They claim that because this report describes Hamas vehicles shot down on their way back to Gaza, in which sometimes everyone in the car was killed by that strike... that must mean that the burned-out cars at the festival were also destroyed by the IDF?

Even though the Hamas vehicles aren't even described as having burned.

They should give this article to people taking the PSAT to test reading comprehension.

It is honestly amazing that Hamas members can go out there with bodycams on, film themselves curbstomping Israeli heads, chopping people's heads off with hoes, shooting drivers point-blank -- and worse, that's just the first three videos I remembered watching off the top of my head -- and their apologists will still insist that actually, they didn't kill hardly anybody. They were just there for a brief stroll or something. Just saying hi.

Now, I'm the last person to say that the people of Gaza are at fault and deserve collective punishment for this. Because unlike the Hamasniks, I actually listen to people in Gaza, so I am aware that Hamas violently overthrew the Palestinian government in Gaza 17 years ago and has run it as a dictatorship ever since. Which kind of automatically places the blame for Hamas & Co's actions solely at Hamas's doorstep.

Obviously that one line that OP quotes repeatedly is ridiculous.

But since it also doesn't say, "they should be killed, that's what I mean by collective responsibility," and since only the most gullible readers would assume that means "collective punishment in the form of genocide of just the people in Gaza"....

(as gullible as thinking that a war to wipe out a terrorist group founded in Nazi ideology, with Nazi goals, and which is part of a larger organization -- the Muslim Brotherhood -- that was founded and funded by Nazis; a group which invaded and slaughtered more people in one day than Israel ever has, destroying more towns in one day than Israel ever has, and which has publicly stated its intention of doing it "again and again and again" until Israel has been violently destroyed, a war which in the process has killed 1.7% of the population of Gaza (not of Palestine), about half of which is civilians.... is a fucking genocide)

...let's see what the piece actually says.

In the public perception, a distinction is made as much as possible between "civilians" in Gaza and the terrorist organization Hamas: the latter is presented as the author of fanatical hatred, as the sole culprit in the barbaric attacks on the "land robber" Israel, while it (and here it is often indirectly) Narrative adopted by Hamas) that the “people in Gaza” are peaceful residents. This is black and white thinking that could hardly be more wrong. It was civilians from Gaza who had worked in the kibbutzim for a long period of time, ostensibly befriending the peace-loving people in these small communities, but in doing so they spied on their Jewish hosts and employers for Hamas and thus brought their deaths.

Thanks to them, the attackers knew exactly how to overcome security hurdles and what the most “worthwhile” targets were. “People from Gaza” had ensured that the Hamas terrorists knew their way around the kibbutzim as well as the residents themselves. It is also a fact: On October 7th, civilians from Gaza murdered, raped, tortured and kidnapped alongside the terrorists. And it was also the “people of Gaza” who cheered and celebrated while sweets were distributed, as was the case in Berlin's Sonnenallee at the same time. Many civilians have happily participated in war crimes. There is no denying the countless video recordings in which tortured hostages are mocked and insulted and the naked corpses of young Israelis are desecrated. According to a survey, around two-thirds of Gazans supported the October 7 crimes. This is a frighteningly high number that shows the huge support Hamas has among the population. If there is such a thing as collective responsibility for crimes, then this applies to Gaza's people. That is the bitter truth.

Really? This is the shit y'all are passing around like, "A GERMAN JEW JUSTIFIED GENOCIDE!!! HE JUSTIFIED GENOCIDE!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is a slightly harsher version of, "Hey, there are civilians who support Hamas and participate in its attacks too, and they share responsibility for that."

This is as close to a justification of genocide as the war itself is to a genocide.

All any of you ever do is sit around screeching about how extreme everything happening is. It's like watching cartoon supervillains or something. It's just exhausting.

The largest Jewish newspaper in Germany, Jüdische Allgemeine has published an opinion piece on Thursday, effectively endorsing genocide in Gaza, amid Israel’s ongoing war against the Palestinian people in the densely populated enclave. In the five-paragraph piece entitled “The civilians in Gaza are not innocent,” the “freelance journalist” Tobias Huch said that “If there is such a thing as collective responsibility for crimes, then this applies to Gaza’s people. That is the bitter truth.”

The problem of the situation is as follow :

Hamas want to finish what Hitler started.

Hamas control the West Bank.

Hamas steal international aid to the people for their tunnels and weapons.

The leaders are safe outside of palestine.

Hamas publicly declared they intended to repeat their actions of the 7 of October until Israel is destroyed.

The Israeli government is scummy, that is something everyone agree upon.

However, Israel can't have peace with Hamas, it's not a matter of political convenience, it's a matter of "these mad butchers want to kill every jews except maybe the women they want to rape before either permanently putting in slavery or killing."

I would love that the UN resolve could actually be of help, but as it is? The only way to bring peace to the situation is the annihilation of Hamas, Desert Storm the fuck out of these beasts in human shape.

However, the UN is cowardly, so instead of destroying the terrorist group, they operate under a childish notion of "giving time out to both sides." while refusing to adress Israel's security concerns coming from how hamas constantly send missiles against them.

Israel's current government is led by an imperialist cunt, but here's the thing, Bibi can lose his office, and before the latest phase of conflicts started by Hamas, huge protests were against him.

Hamas meanwhile is a fundamentalist genocidal imperialist dictatorship, the whole group is rotten, and they don't care how their crimes can impact either the common Palestinian people, Israel's Arab population, who have its own political party and is given equal rights per Israel's constitution.

Hamas is the same kind of group as those who attacked France since January 2015 for its laic values, the reason people like Netenyahu manage to gain power and most importantly keep is because of the genocidal islamist mindset that rightfully terrify Israel's population.

Netenyahu is a traitor to Israel because he was fine with letting hamas exist to strengthen the legitimacy of his actions and weaken any chances of palestine being stable and thus potentially willing to accept Israel's existence, but this war is one of a democracy with many rotten apples against a genocidal regime.

It's not okay that people are dying, no one said that, however, Hamas purposefully use the Palestinian people as meat shields, all while purposefully targeting civilians despite Israel actually keeping the two separated unlike Hamas.

The war can only end once hamas has been wiped off the face of the earth, and the western left who isn't merely unable to get that but worship Hamas is nothing but a horde of disgusting fools.

You want israel to stop war crimes? Focus the critics on Netenyahu, not israel as a whole! Don't let Hamas survive! Criticize the Arab governments for having refused to let Israel exist for so long, thus allowing the raise of politicians like Netenyahu! Oppose any ideas of Israel being destroyed as a state, all of that is good.

But God be my witness, don't justify hamas or any other groups that want a Jewish genocide/the destruction of the state of Israel.

Seriously, the western left is so hateful of Israel and supportive of Hamas that the historically anti-semitic French Far Right managed to win a PR victory by joining a march against anti-semitism while Melenchon refused to condemn hamas! That shouldn't happen, but it does because self righteous stupid leftists refuse to have anything to do with Israel, isolating Israel's leftists while letting the Far-right plague take the mantle of defenders of Israel, which will only make te situation worse.

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?

[lettersfromthelevant]

#I don't even care anymore y'all don't realize how privileged you are#this isn't about you#that's the point#but when that diasporic antisemitism gets to be too much you can come and join me and all of my fellow Israelis#because despite your ignorance we want you safe too because a jew is a jew is a jew...even the jews that throw us under the bus

^💯

Anon said - How about some resourceful people over there prevent Bibi’s insanities from coming true?

Talking down to Israelis as if we're fucking children who can't function without a babysitter... I honestly can't comprehend the nerve it takes to say this to Israelis, y'know, the people experiencing an active war who just went through a brutal massacre.

I've had this little rant in my drafts for a few weeks now, wondering if I should bother posting it, but I'll just stick it here.

To all of the Americans shouting at Israelis because Bibi hasn't been thrown out yet, what exactly do you want us to fucking do? Start a coup while we're in the middle of a multi-front war and several major internal crises? That's fucking suicidal. He'll be tossed out during the elections because that's the only viable way to not immediately get wiped off the face of the Earth by our enemies.

This does not effect you. At this point, you're no better than the pro-Palestine crowd screaming for Israel to be hanged in court. You are treating this like a spectator sport just as much as they are. The "solutions" you're throwing forth for us are just as unrealistic and insane as the leftists screaming for us to be dismantled and expelled. Just because you aren't directly advocating for our genocide, doesn't mean you aren't still advocating for policies and actions that would lead to our cultural or physical genocide. I would honestly argue that what you're doing is worse because you are actually out there proposing legislation for Israel to be tried in court, sanctioned, and have our government be controlled by yours.

What the fuck are you doing? Sit down. You have no place in determining the political future of Israel. It is not your business. You do not fucking live here. You do not have the right to dictate how we defend ourselves, how we organize our government, and how we plan our future.

The sheer audacity of people like Anon, who claim to be diaspora Jews, positioning themselves as morally superior to Israelis and completely erasing everything we've been through over here. I've seen actual, off-Anon diaspora Jews on here implying that October 7th wasn't personal for Israelis, that it wasn't our neighbors who killed us, that we don't experience antisemitic violence on the same personal level as diaspora Jews do.

Israel please recognize what we are facing

Bitch, we are fucking dying.

We live in an active war zone.

My neighbors were slaughtered, my friends have been killed, I haven't been able to sit and mourn for any of them in over 100 days.

Israelis need to look at the bigger picture

Sincerely and wholeheartedly, go fuck yourself.

Breathe.

It is normal to feel pain, alarm, and sorrow, as we see what our world has turned into, as we hear what so many want to do to us. It wouldn't be human to feel any other way. I've been deeply involved in this issue for many years and truly did not expect so much of the goyische world to immediately go full werewolf on the thrill of seeing Jews tortured and massacred in high-res. Many of them are lost to us, and as far as I am concerned, there is nothing they could ever, ever do to regain my trust. They would never even think to give an apology, and even if they did, I would never accept it.

It makes matters all the worse that Israel - this age's morph of the reason to hate us - has for the last ~16 months been run by objectively evil and horrible people. A few of them have talked publicly about "encouraging voluntary resettlement" or claim to have held negotiations with African states. In all cases, less vile people from the same government have immediately denied those stories and said there is no such policy, no such talks, it is all just suggestions. When you have a government run by Internet trolls, criminals, and terrorist sympathizers, that is how they talk. There is no imaginable mechanism for any of this - it is impossible to believe any country would go along with it, or that it is taken seriously by anyone beyond whichever racist asshole is thinking out loud next to a reporter at that time. But even as idle blather, it is immensely dangerous. It represents a threshold we cannot cross. We cannot - as you said - "make that look good." The best we can do is recognize that this particular evil racist doesn't actually have the authority or method for doing it, he's just jerking off, the Attorney-General told them to shut up and stop advocating crimes.

There have been so many times when the world went utterly batshit about Israeli actions that were totally innocuous, about rumors that never even happened. I talk about it here all the time. Part of me is hoping that is an element of this case, even as I'm afraid, this time, it might not be.

And as I'm also afraid that things will get even worse for us if, as looks very likely, Trump wins next time.

So it is okay to feel utterly terrible about things.

And yet, we still have to breathe.

We are alive because Jewish people got through much worse times than these, with far fewer resources and allies than we have today. Everything we know, everything we worry about now, exists because even though They Tried To Kill Us, We Survived.

Confront reality - without despair. We are facing bad times and they may get worse, but we will get through them.
