hey so the language in this post is really concerning. we can and should talk about horrible things being done to palestinians by the israeli state and its operatives without dehumanizing israelis like this. additionally, saying peace is not possible is a VERY scary talking point for what i hope are obvious reasons, especially when you take into account the plethora of joint israeli-palestinian organizations that work towards the exact things this post is saying are impossible
dehumanization is bad in all cases. end of
People fail to understand the degree of insane bloodthirst and dehumanization taught to 'israelis' like the one in front of this image. She genuinely sees the woman in the back as vermin and finds fun in tormenting her. This is a core tenet of their culture. They will humiliate Palestinians in whichever way they can on any given day ranging from petty to lethal. Their textbooks have caricatures. They draw unibrows on themselves and dream about Disneyland in Gaza on TikTok. They make fun of dead babies by comparing them to food.
This photo is 'israel'. There is no peaceful conversation with people whose heart's desire is to do this. There is no peace or dignity while the occupation lasts.
#prev i wanted to address this with you in private but your dms are off and you don't allow asks or submissions so this was my only option. i#hope you understand#dehumanization#peace activism#radical compassion#very much reminds me of that historical moment yossi klein halevi writes about when israelis as a collective realized with the second#intifada that these mobilizations weren't against the illegal israeli settlements but rather the existence of israel as a whole including#the mutually agreed upon borders of 1948#it's these sorts of talking points that scare me. where do you want the israelis to go if you think their existence is inherently violent#and that there is no way to reason with them? you know that leaves only one option right?#anti zionist antisemitism#anyway prev please feel free to reach out i mean this genuinely i just wanna talk and listen to each other rather than just yelling past#each other
