Cannot recomment enough to watch this.

Kudos to Spain for recognising the state of Palestine. There is a growing voice in the German Parliament to do the same, which is a good thing. But I doubt Spain's VP has thought the usage of the phrase "from river to see, Palestine will be free" through.

A two state solution is the only viable option for an enduring, if tense peace between Israel and Palestine. The phrase "from rive to see..." does not appear to consider such a solution.

What ‘From the River to the Sea’ Really Means & Why Israel Can’t Win, w/ Vijay Prashad

[originalleftist]

There are over 7 million Jews in Israel.

There are over 5 million Palestinians in Palestine, and nearly 2 million in Israel.

Neither are going anywhere.

And if you want them to, you either haven't thought about what that would really mean... or you're a monster.

just... what the fuck?!

[cheesebongdynasty]

It flabbergasts me that people are trying so hard to ensure Trump's reelection while claiming it's because they care about the Palestinians.

!!!SIGNAL BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!

VOTE BLUE! VOTE BLUE DOWN THE BALLOT!

REMEMBER IT WAS TRUMP WHO MOVED THE US-EMBASSY FROM TEL-AVIV TO JERUSALEM, THUS GIVING LEGITIMACY TO NETANYAHU AND HIS RIGHT-WING FASCIST GOVERNMENT'S CLAIMS.

I'm sure many people have already shared this here, but I think it's important that people here on Tumblr need to see this.

"Zionism is just Israeli nationalist ideology" tell me in fewer words that you know fuck-all about the history of Zionism. Zionism is Jewish nationalism (and should be opposed on those grounds), but it was once entirely possible to be a convinced Zionist active in the Zionist movement and be entirely opposed to the state of Israel, to any state Jewish or not, to a Jewish state in the Holy Land, to a mononational Israel that excludes the native Arab population, and etc etc etc. It is a complex movement, and reducing its complexity is what allows Zionist to function so effectively as an anti-Semitic dogwhistle, and one of the things that permits anti-Semitism to flourish on the Left.

I'm giving up on my belief in the continued existence of Israel as a state being right and appropriate.

I know to many people on Tumblr, this seems like a no-brainer, but I am a 40 year old Jewish USAdian, raised by my Poppop - a lower east side child of immigrants, whose unit in WW2 helped liberate Dachau - and by parents who were both born before the end of the war. I was raised that Israel existed as a place of safety for us, a place I could always have a home. I've always supported a two-state solution, always wanted safety and security for Palestinians, always wanted a co-existence that took into account the many challenges caused by history and recent events. Even as the Israeli government has grown more conservative, I've separated the current politics from the national existence and hoped for more liberal regimes and real change. I didn't want to let go of the pipe dream, didn't want to believe that Jews, with our history, could behave like this.

Giving up on Israel hurts.

But not as much as seeing the parade of dead Palestian children does.

If what's happening in Gaza is the cost for Israel's existence, then that cost is far, FAR too high.

If Palestian lives are the cost of Israel's existence, then Israel shouldn't exist.

There.

I've said it, typed it with tears in my eyes.

I'm done.

This needs to end. Israel needs to end.

For those of you, who're saying they're not going to vote, blue, or are not going to vote at all because of how Biden is handling the war in Gaza:

HAVE YOU ALL FORGOTTEN THAT IT WAS TRUMP WHO MOVED THE US-EMBASSY FROM TEL AVIV TO JERUSALEM, THUS POURING EVEN MORE OIL INTO THE ALREADY RAGING FIRE? THUS KNOWINGLY GIVING LEGITIMACY TO THE CLAIM OF THE FAR-RIGHT EXTREMISTS IN ISRAEL, THAT THERE SHOULD ONLY BE ONE STATE. KNOWING THAT A MOVE LIKE THIS WILL LEAD TO THE DEPRIVATION AND OPPRESSION OF THE RIGHT OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE TO HAVE A HOME OF THEIR OWN?

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT NETANYAHU IS EAGERLY AWAITING A TRUMP WIN, BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN HE CAN ABANDON ALL PRETENSE THAT HE'S ADHERING TO INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND JUST PULL ALL THE FUCKIN STOPS, AND STRAIGHT UP ANNEX THE WESTBANK AS WELL AS GAZA?

The Democrats have the Two State Solution written in their party's agenda. Just because you don't get so see every minute details of the diplomatic exchang happening between US and Israeli officials, between US and Palestinian officials, does not mean, that Biden has given Netanyahu carte blanche. The fucking opposit is the case. What's shown in the news does not reflect what's happening in those diplomatic meetings.

The Gqp on the otherhand is overrun by christo-faschists, frothing from their mouths because they can't wait for the Rapture to happen already. Aside from Netanyahu, they were the ones who cheered the loudest, when Trump moved the Embassy. Atop of that, those same christo-faschists rallying behind Trump would very much like to turn the Handmaid's Tale on US soil into reality as well, while they're at it.

Voting third-party, or abstaining from voting entierly is automatically a win for Trump. So stop pretending you are okay with sacrificing your own rights and right of safety and security, and bodily autonomy in your own damn country, in your own damn home, because of a war that is far more intricately complex than your "Biden should've stopped the war, he is complicit in genocide" will ever be able to cover.

Voting blue this election is the only way to ensure that there ever will be another election in the future! Votig blue this election will ensure that the sliver of hope for peace in the Middle East will still be alive.

Sincerly, from a European, from a German to you all US-Americans: for your own goddamn sake, and for the sake of the rest of the world, vote blue, because whoever sits in the Oval Office, still is the most powerful person on the entire goddamn globe. Get a perspective on that!

Putting this as a meme so maybe y'all will actually read it.

Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.

And this is why we cannot let Trump win another term: he now has complete immunity for any acts he "officially" performs as president. You thought he was bad before? Now he will have zero fear. He will do whatever he wants. And what he wants is outlined in Project 2025.

Today, 28 May 2024, is the day that Ireland, Spain, and Norway formally recognise the State of Palestine.

I am proud of my Irish heritage, and I will always be proud of my Irish heritage.

Donald Trump is calling Netanyahu up and telling him to prevent a ceasefire because it will help Kamala Harris.

Why is he doing that? Because Harris and Biden are trying to negotiate a ceasefire, and he doesn't want them to get credit for doing it.

I do not want to hear one more Goddamn word about how helping Trump win is the "pro-Palestinian" or "anti-genocide" position.
