I'm sorry, but this simply isn't true. One shitty real estate company made a gross joke advertisement on Facebook. Even if Israel were to annex the Gaza strip, a random real estate company would not then own the land and be able to start selling lots. The war is bad enough. We don't need to spread misinformation.
everything about the Palestinian genocide is disgusting and inhumane and incredibly depressing but there's something extra infuriating to me about the fact that the reason Israel is taking all this land is so they can bulldoze the rubble and build subdivisions. Like not only are they going out of their way to wipe out an entire people and culture in one of the most horrific state actions of the 21st century, but they're doing it in the name of selling fucking tract homes like that's so so incredibly bleak
#i don't know what to tell you.#sometimes companies make gross jokes.#and this war is honestly not about the land of the gaza strip.#it's about eradicating Hamas.#and Bibi doesn't care enough about the other damages he causes along the way.#but the goal is Hamas.#90% of Israelis will tell you the same.

This video is why I don't believe the pro-Palestinian movement really cares about Palestinians.
If it did, it would be centering Palestinian peace and human rights activists. It would be coordinating with protests in Gaza. It would know that protests and activists in Gaza exist.
I wouldn't have to dig to find people like Hamza Howidy, Moumen Al-Natour, Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, Bassem Eid, the Center for Peace Communications, or the people Hamza mentions in this video.
People would care that Hamas actively threatens, tortures, and executes them. They would care that Hamas has controlled all media in Gaza for 17 years, actively and violently silencing Palestinian voices. They would fight for those voices.
The message I've gotten from this movement for nearly a year, from the first rallies celebrating October 7 through today, has been that Hamas is somewhere between "unimportant" and "goals," Israel is the supreme and only evil, and Palestinians? They're only important when they're dying.
#And most importantly: these activists wouldn't consistently get attacked and blocked as “Zionists” when people do find them#That's from the extreme hamas-is-goals folks -- i assume#IS that most importantly? no but it's telling as fuck#free gaza#fuck hamas#jumblr#Palestinians to platform#wall of words#depressing discourse#Instagram

targeting civilians. murdering them, raping them, torturing them, and then desecrating their bodies. annihilating entire families. kidnapping babies as young as 6 months and Holocaust survivors as old as 100. shooting down attendees at a rave that was for peace. this is not freedom fighting. this is not liberation. and this will certainly not free palestine.
all this does is cause more suffering for both israelis and palestinians. all this causes is war and death and atrocities.
it is terrorism. if you try to justify it, you are supporting terrorism.
#jumblr#jewish#israel#peace#what's heart breaking is most in gaza have been polled in favor of increasing ties with israel#what's heart breaking is how many people are showing how deeply seeded their antisemitism is#and i'm sure i'll get hate for this but what's really heart breaking is how little people seem to understand#israel is not a colonial construct#the jewish people are indigenous to israel#israel is SUCCESSFUL decolonialization#there is no occupation in gaza#that has not been any israelis or jews in gaza since 2005#the blockade only went up in 2007 when Hamas took over and began terrorizing israeli citizens#if this was about the blockage there would be the same thing happening in egypt#it's not about the blockage#Hamas's charter declares that their goal is not to ~free palestine~ but to murder all jews#this is antisemitism#this is what the nazis did#if you think for a second you would have stood up to the nazis#but justified what is happening right now#you're wrong and you're an antisemite

something I have noticed is that a lot of people (speaking specifically the usa rn bc that's where I am atp but I wouldn't be surprised if this is a general imperial core thing) seem to be almost allergic to learning about the actual structure/history/organization of any group deemed Big Bad Evil™ by the status quo regime. this is one way that you get those really fucking stupid takes such as "hamas is isis actually they're the same thing trust me bro" said by people with genuine sincerity and belief that they understand how the world works.
#there's also the implicit racism#pigeon.txt#like whatever your feelings on hamas. they are definitely Not isis#their purpose and goals are completely different#and understanding that is not remotely difficult

Kind reminder that the reason so many innocent children are having such horrible deaths in Gaza is because Hamas, their government who's "just fighting back against the oppression", hide their warring weapons and guns underneath civilian locations, specially schools and hospitals, because they know it's a win-win tactic for them.
-If Israel doesn't attack their hiding places because of the civilians, Hamas gets to keep their armament and continue killing Jews.
-If Israel does attack the hiding places and kill countless civilians in the process, they'll be depicted as the villains and more support for Hamas' cause. Literally nobody would mention the previous weaponry station that was there.
You're welcome.
#since the media doesn't want to explain these stuff I will#Hamas isn't fighting for Palestine they just want to eradicate Jews from the Earth#if you do a quick research about them you'll see thats their primary goal#pro palestine#pro israel#anti hamas#free palestine#israel vs palestine#Palestine#Israel#Hamas

why do ppl keep assuming us politicans have so much power in israel exactly. at the end of the day they dont exactly get a say in whats to happen if israel or hamas doesnt want to comply.
#'ceasefire now' except hamas keeps declining a ceasefire bc god forbid they dont have more of their favorite terrorists#bc its not about getting home palestinian civilians its about getting home more ppl who want to make more israelis lives miserable#since a big thing for hamas is specifically hating jewish ppl and wanting to kill them all. which IS clear as day genocidal intent.#also its antithetical to their goals- they dont give af if palestinians die. they encourage it. it makes them look more sympathetic#literally how many times do we gotta point at the video of the leader saying its a good thing like#HOW CAN YOU DENY THIS#with all this in mind- what in the actual fuck are you expecting us politicians to do? what kind of power do you think they have here?#this is a conflict between two countries miles across the sea. its not a conflict between the US and some other country its two other#countries we dont have control over. if hamas wants more palestinians to die so they can get their Very Important Terrorist Friends Back#then what is to be done? if israel cant bring itself to compromise on this because of the very valid fucking fear of releasing *more*#terrorists who want to kill them all- what is to be done? what do you honest to god think kamala or joe can fuckin do?#its like two adults bullying eachother and you're an onlooker- you can try all you want to resolve the conflict but if they cant do it at#all between eachother for valid or not reasons then wtf are you expected to do?#and then all the people around you who've decided you have the power somehow to fix this are yelling at you for not fixing it#when you never had the power over this situation to fuckin begin with!

I keep seeing people go “both parties are bad and voting for either of them is bad because both of them are equally complicit in genocide” with no other solution in mind and I feel like shaking these people and going “I’m sorry, do you live in a world where there is a viable alternative to voting for a republican or a democrat? If so, please explain how we can find a non ‘complicit’ politician to support because I don’t see one, and what I see is ‘literal fascist who will make most Americans suffer and vastly more Gazans dead because he would like to wipe out all Muslims’ versus ‘has no plans of making things worse for most Americans and has actually supported stronger sanctions on military aid.’”
Kantian moral imperative is great but in this case it really doesn’t apply because there’s no perfect option, there’s a lot of bad ones. Utilitarianism is a marginally better option for a moral framework here: weighting all lives equally, are we voting for a person who will make everyone’s lives worse or a person who will make most Americans’ lives stay the same (or improve) and doesn’t support unrestricted aid used to kill all members of an ethnic group?
#current events#us politics#politics#vent adjacent#also. That statement from a few days ago. Kamala Harris’s husband is Jewish.#Hamas’s charter states their goal is to kill all Jews and the slogan “globalize the intifada” historically refers to killing Jews worldwide#she’s not perfect and nobody is but I think that was actually a reasonable response and I would like to think nobody wants their spouse dea

More than 700 people were killed in the Gaza Strip in just 24 hours, the Health Ministry in the besieged territory said Sunday, as Israeli bombings escalated following a brief pause and wider evacuation orders stoke fears of wider displacement and carnage.
According to an Al-Jazeera dispatch:
Overnight and into Sunday, intense bombing was reported in Khan Younis, Rafah, and some northern parts targeted by Israel's air and ground attacks. "Everywhere you turn to, there are children with third-degree burns, shrapnel wounds, brain injuries and broken bones," James Elder, UNICEF's global spokesperson, told Al Jazeera from Gaza. "Mothers crying over children who look like they are hours away from death. It seems like a death zone right now."
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has been dropping evacuation leaflets across the south of Gaza in cities that include Khan Younis, Rafah, and others neighborhoods where many had been told to flee by Israel prior to the recent week-long pause.
The IDF is now using a wholly invented "grid system" to tell Palestinians in Gaza which sectors might be safe and which ones will not, leading to reports of widespread confusion on the ground for those trying to keep themselves and their families safe from the indiscriminate bombing.
"What Israel is doing in Gaza right now is one of the most cruel tactics of war I've ever seen," said Rohan Talbot, director of advocacy and campaigns for the U.K.-based Medical Aid Palestine, on Sunday. "This grid system effectively means people are being chased from square to square, in constant mortal fear. Bombing happens both inside and outside 'unsafe' areas. It's terrorism."
"And they say it's about protecting civilians! People in Gaza are saying they hope to die just to be free from the fear!" Talbot declared. "I use the word terrorism in its specific sense: using violence to intimidate civilians for political aims. Israeli leaders don't hide that this is what they are doing."
In a statement on Sunday, U.N. Human Rights Chief Volker Türk called for an end of the new wave of bombardents and a return to the talks that saw Israeli and Palestinian hostages freed and an increase in humanitarian aid allowed into Gaza.
"Silence the guns and return to dialogue—the suffering inflicted on civilians is too much to bear. More violence is not the answer. It will bring neither peace nor security," Türk said.
"As a result of Israel's conduct of hostilities and its orders for people to leave the north and parts of the south, hundreds of thousands are being confined into ever smaller areas in southern Gaza without proper sanitation, access to sufficient food, water and health supplies, even as bombs rain down around them,” he added "There is no safe place in Gaza."
Last week, it was reported that the Israeli military is using artificial intelligence to help generate bombing targets, a situation described as "dystopian" and the "first AI-facilitated genocide in history."
Horrifying scenes were evident across Gaza over the weekend as witnesses shared footage of children killed by the bombings along with the heartbreak and cries of survivors:
In the north, the Jabilia refugee camp, the largest in the Gaza Strip, was bombed again on Saturday.
"More than 100 Palestinians were killed Saturday in a new massacre committed by Israeli occupation forces in the Jabalia refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip," the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
The agency said an Israeli missile hit a residential building belonging to the "Obaid family in Jabalia camp" and that "dozens were injured, and many others are still missing under the rubble," in that strike alone.
Meanwhile, Medicin Sans Frontier/MSF doctors reported their rescue vehicles, despite being clearly marked, were targeted by Israeli tanks.
Jason Lee, the Palestine country director for Save the Children, who was in Rafah on Friday, told the Guardian newspaper that what's being witnessed is a fresh population transfer in a country where 1.7 million people—out of an approximate total of 2.3 million—have already been displaced, with most now frantically trying to find safety in the south.
"How is it possible for people to move again? For many, this is not their first evacuation. The scale and scope of this is unprecedented," he said.
#how much more palestinian blood needs to be spilled#before you stop accepting 'yeah but hamas tho'#as a reasonable justification for this wholesale slaughter and displacement?#and even if you don't accept how unreasonable it is on moral grounds#consider the logic#how many more hamas fighters do you think you create with every family you obliterate#if the goal is actually to eradicate hamas israel is doing a pisspoor job#ceasefire now#free palestine#current events#politics

Another of my takes on the current Hamas-Israel War:
Israel should offer Hamas a ceasefire in return for
all hostages Hamas took being released
all Hamas fighters who killed civilians being turned over to Israel to stand trial
This would still mean that Hamas lost the war it started, just that it didn't loose as big as it would have if Israel invaded Gaza and destroyed it. But many lives, both Israeli and Palestinian, would be spared.
(Hamas would likely reject it because accepting these terms would be admitting defeat which would do massive damage to their political standing. But there is a chance that they would accept to preserve themselves and their political power in Gaza.)
#maybe i can think up some strategically smart demands that hamas could make as well#something like declaring that their war goal is an end to the blockade#gives the impression of 'all you have to do - all you had to do to prevent this - was leave us alone'#unlikely that israel would accept but not accepting would create division in israel and between israel and its allies#so there is a chance that it might#israel#palestine#israel hamas war#right now it seems both sides don't really have clear and realistic goals - which will drag out the war

correct me if im wrong but dont this seem like just straight up looting?
#palestine#like this just seems like something you shouldnt admit to#like if the us took 1.3m dollars worth of cash from iraq or afganistan that would also look bad right#we agree on this right?#even if it Was from 'hamas strongholds' like the goal would be to kill terrorists right and not to pinch every penny you see?#is americas money running out that quickly that you gotta steal money out of the extremly closed economy of gaza?#times of israel and al jazeera have reported on this as well as alledgedly bloomberg but im paywalleeeeed

this is true but you've all done a very good job of showing that you only stop supporting the current israeli government when it affects Your rights
#the talking point of “many israelis hate bibi” is so meaningless to me atp. like sure u hate bibi but you fully support this war#“i dont want want to flatten gaza” sure but you do think destroying hamas is an attainable goal#and u support doing that by any means necessary#so like. what exactly do you want me to say here#politics cw

They're burning people alive.
They're not letting food or medical supplies in. They're not letting people out. They've shut down and bombed hospitals and schools.
They're burning people alive.
#Israel#zionism#zionist occupation#all you fuckers who support this - dont you fucking dare preach anything about love your neighbor#and do unto others what you'd have them do unto you#the israeli military - government - and every single fucker who supports them and their agenda is vile and evil#and I've completely divorced this israeli government and military from the religion of Judaism in my head and heart#so don't come at me with claims of this being antisemitic bc that ain't it#this has all been inhuman evil fucking behavior#and saying bullshit like <they started it first> is stupid as hell#and if you still believe that the goal is to defeat hamas and bring the hostages home you're fucking stupid
