[This post is a series of images from an infographic by the Slow Factory Foundation originally posted May 2021. The first image is a photo with text over it. The photo shows a massive fireball in the middle of a group of buildings, with a massive black cloud rising from the flames that is bigger than the buildings themselves. The building just behind the fireball is low, rectangular, and lit up bright orange. Behind that building, there is a city lit up at night. Hundreds of buildings stretching into the distance, a thousand glimmering lights.]

What is happening in Palestine is not complicated; it's settler colonialism & ethnic cleansing.

Debunking Misinformation around Palestine.

Myth ❌ Palestine and Israel are in "conflict."

Fact ✅ What is happening in Palestine is settler colonialism, military occupation, land theft and ethnic cleansing. A conflict means there is equal footing, which is not the case. There is an active oppressor (Israel) and an oppressed (Palestine). A colonizer (Israel) and a colonized (Palestine). This is not a conflict.

[Three images of headlines with the word 'conflict' crossed out in red ink.]

Note: According to the Congressional Research Service,

Israeli military occupation has been supported by US aid with $3.8bn a year paid for by U.S. tax dollars since 2016 for the next 10 years.

It's also supported by other colonial countries including Canada, Australia, France and Belgium.

Myth ❌ Before Israel came to Palestine, it was "just a desert" and Israel made the desert green.

Fact ✅ Before the occupation of Israel, Palestine had green, rich and lush land. In fact, Palestine respected the biodiversity of their Indigenous land: Palestinians were producing 92% of Palestine's grain, 99% of its olives and 95% of its melons to name a few.

Since Israel's occupation, biodiversity has decreased. Israel removed Indigenous plants from the land to plant European Invasive species. This phenomenon is called green colonialism, which has been discussed in depth by many, including Naomi Klein in "Let Them Drown."

Myth ❌ Sheikh Jarrah is the only neighborhood in Palestine that is in danger.

Fact ✅ Israel has been gradually stealing Palestinian land, destroying and ethnically cleansing entire Palestinian villages, violently displacing families and building illegal settlements on top them since the first Nakba ('catastrophe' in Arabic) in 1948, where almost 600 Palestinian villages were destroyed, Palestinian history erased and half the Palestinian population were expelled from their homes.

Myth (cont'd.) ❌ Sheikh Jarrah is the only neighborhood in Palestine that is in danger.

Fact ✅ Over the past few decades, the state of Israel has continued the settler colonial project, and Sheikh Jarrah is the latest and not the last neighborhood being violently threatened with dispossession, which Israel has no legal right to do.

[Images of a map showing the drastic decrease in Palestinian landmass from 1946 to 2019. In 1946, Palestine was 99% Palestinian land. In 1947, it decreased to 40%. In 1967, to 30%. And in 2019, less than 20% of Palestine is Palestinian land. The remaining areas are being encroached on by occupied Palestinian land, meaning occupied by Israelis. The rest is Israeli land.]

The mainstream media has been supporting these myths by spreading misinformation that conceal Israel's ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine by saying it's a two-sided conflict, framing Palestinian resistance as terrorism and normalizing the state of Israel.

Anyone wondering why its mostly elderly that were taken hostage, the slow ones left at the end of the raid would have been killed by idf to add numbers to blame Hamas for. Hamas likely saved their lives by taking them back into Gaza with them. And remember, Hamas has been trying to get these people back home for weeks, and Israel has refused them.

Also, the settler colony of Israel is supposed to be releasing Palestinian hostages of their own, but have just shot the brother of one of the hostages who was waiting to be reunited with his family. Israel may (but likely wont) release all 150 women and children hostages they are supposed to, but we know they can just replace them with more hostages the next day. And the rest of the world will do nothing.

How far does this have to go before the UN will use military force to stop Israel? Will they ever?

Israel broke the ceasefire after one hour.

I hope this is a sign of progress for balanced and fair treatment of all opinions on this issue. This page was known for spreading harmful disinformation. They sought to promote falsehoods to further their own political ends at the expense of Jewish lives. This conflict is not a game. There are real people affected by the promotion of misinformation. Jews are attacked around the globe when lies are spread about Israeli actions. I truly hope instagram will continue to censor content which can potentially incite violence against Jews.

happy new year,

may 2024 bring a stop to the current palestinian genocide, an ending to the occupation, a dismantlement of apartheid, palestinian refugees’ right to return, true liberation for palestinians in the holy lands, and the ceasing of tolerating zionists and their talking points worldwide 🍉
