A few quotes from Israeli leaders that may interest some people:

“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.”

— David Ben Gurion. Quoted on 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.

12 July 1937, Ben-Gurion entered in his diary: “The compulsory transfer of the Arabs from the valleys of the proposed Jewish state could give us something which we never had, even when we stood on our own feet during the days of the First and Second Temple

– a Galilee free from Arab population."

These quotes clearly illustrate Ben Gurion's intentions to expulse palestinians from their land, and considered any resistant to their invasion as "terrorism". It also displays that the basis for the foundation of Israel was completely religious, and it doesn't take a genius to know that religion is no basis or justification for the Nakba. Additionally, kinda racist.

“If I knew that it was possible to save all the children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the numbers of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel.”

Ben-Gurion (Quoted on pp 855-56 in Shabtai Teveth’s Ben-Gurion in a slightly different translation).

Ben Gurion here admits that he would sacrifice half of all jewish children in Nazi Germany in favour of founding an Israeli state. The founder and first president of Israel stated verbatim that he would favour the state of Israel over the lives of the Jewish children who would fall victim to the holocaust. That is, fundamentally, a fucked up position to hold, and is far from what any decent person would choose to do, Jewish or not

But what about modern Israel?

I encourage you to look through this database. The things contained would shock any reasonable person.

Genociders aren't reasonable. There is not religious justification of genocide. I have the utmost respect for the Jewish faith and I fully believe in the rights of the Jewish people, but I will not stand for Religion being used to justify a genocide, by anyone, for any reason.

Zionists portray the only solution to the plight of the jewish people being the formation of Israel and, in the process, the expulsion and extermination of Palestinians and I say to that, Bull-fucking-shit.

There have been many groups of people across history that have been opressed and undervalued. Not once has there ever been a push for a Transgender nation that would expel others from their rightful land. The Zionist solution ignores the idea of any kind of civil rights movement that would establish the Jewish people as a protected group like others. Genocide is not a civil rights movement.

[brickdykehouse]

Because this is what the good guys do!

[brickdykehouse]

There's a constant, 24/7 stream of footage from Palestine of murdered children in an ongoing genocide and yet somehow I'm supposed to be versed in political history before I can say it's wrong. Well I am, but I shouldn't have to be.

I've seen, with my own two eyes, more bodies of dead children than I could ever care to see again, killed without care and for fun, with bullets and bombs, tiny charred hunks of flesh that used to be innocent, hopeful children, and I'm supposed to accept that it's just part of getting rid of a "Terrorist" Organisation? On the basis of unsubstantiated claims made by a genocidal regime?

Fuck that, fuck Israel, and fuck you if you hold any other opinion than "Hey maybe we should stop the genocide?"

Boycott!

A strange gif with Bluey appeared on my screen

I know, too random

Now that I have your attention:

----------------------------------------------------------------

And yes, liberals still piss me off, no change, no, Harris is not a good option, she's a fucking Zionist and has a fucking history of supporting Israel

Besides, Harris' fans don't even talk about Palestine, they only use it as emotional blackmail (Blue MEGA, fuck you), because hello, these motherfuckers were happy about the attack on the strikers, and many of them still believe in Israeli propaganda about Hamas, so it is clear that the only thing they need Palestine for is to, to force people to vote for blue terrorists

In addition, they call everyone bots, even though they keep saying the same slogans, which indicates that if someone is a bot, they fucking

If you support pinkwashing and homonationalism, don't fucking call yourself a supporter of LGBT+ people

[ihavebeesinmybrain]

im so fucking sick of seeing posts of people trying to assert their moral superiority by talking about how they’re so appalled by people continuing to post normal content given what’s happening in gaza right now and how it’s so dystopian that folks are going to halloween parties while civilians are being bombed. like????? YEAH babes, we LIVE IN A DYSTOPIA. is this news to you???

this pressure for everyone to have something to say about every human rights issue, every political topic, every current event, every injustice is absurd. not every voice should be a part of these conversations. not everyone has the information and perspective to speak constructively on these issues and platforming their voices is only going to cause harm.

who does it serve when you sit around feeling guilty all day that you’re not the one being bombed? who does it serve for you to get on tiktok and post about how sad this is for *you*?

yes, we should never bury our heads in the sand and turn a blind eye. but it’s also unrealistic to expect everyone around the globe to stop their entire lives and spend every waking moment just ruminating on the tragedy of human suffering. there are absolutely actions we all can and should take. contacting representatives, donating if and when we’re able, educating the people in our lives who are falling victim to zionist propaganda, attending protests, building community in our own areas, sharing information and action items from the activists who have been doing this work since way before all of you self-righteous white guilt ridden motherfuckers showed up here. but doing those things doesn’t mean that we can’t do anything else.

real people’s death and suffering, a literal ethnic cleansing that is occurring in real time, is not your chance to prove to everyone online what a good person you are. like it’s actually disgusting the way people are using this crisis as an opportunity to virtue signal and posture as a hashtag ally.

and anyone who has actually been involved in activism and organizing will tell you that you CAN’T let these things consume you. you MUST take care of yourself. you can NOT wallow in secondhand suffering. because when you burn yourself out you can’t help anybody. that path leads straight to nihilism. the only purpose that serves is to waste your energy and feed your ego.

yes, we live in a dystopia. and if we sit around all day feeling sad about that, then the oppressive dystopic institutions responsible for atrocities like the genocide of palestinians are the only ones benefiting. it is revolutionary to love ourselves, to care for ourselves, to carve out joy for ourselves in a world that has been designed so that the ruling class and the powers that be can sit back and relax while they pick us off and profit off of our pain and oppression the entire time.

nothing i am saying here is new. it’s been said far more eloquently by so many people who came before me. but this just makes me so fucking mad. because when you hop on tiktok or twitter or what the fuck ever and rage post about how other people aren’t as empathetic as you?? all that tells me is that you’re someone who shows up when there’s a big injustice or crisis that everyone’s talking about and the rest of the time, *you* are burying your head in the sand. *you* are turning a blind eye. *you* are not consistently doing the work and fighting for collective liberation. because shit like this happens every fucking day. what is happening in gaza is not new. but it’s new to you, isn’t it? and you need everyone to see what a good person you are for caring so much? absolutely fuck off.

TAKE ACTION AND THEN TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND THEN TAKE ACTION AGAIN.

[brickdykehouse]

It's really important to actually understand 7/10 so you can understand the Israeli role. Once again, most of the destruction was done by the Israeli military.

[brickdykehouse]

If you think that the IOF, one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world, is 'accidentally' killing thousands of civilians by accident, then you're stupid. The IOF has access to US technology, funding, and intelligence, and there is no way that the slaughter is unintentional. At BEST, the IOF simply do not consider extensive civilian casualties, the lifes of innocent palestinians to be above being rid of Hamas, and whats probable is that they are deliberately going for mas casualties. This is a genocide.

[brickdykehouse]

So the IOF has, according to their own admission, occupied the Gaza-Egypt border. Essentially:

The IOF are, by their own admission, cutting off any escape for Palestinian civilians. Further, they've already stated that they won't let any men of "Fighting Age" pass. Considering what Israel considers to be the minimum age of combatants, we could see civilian children as young as ten be trapped in Gaza. Depending on how well Israel's media blackout works, they could be in grave danger of mass execution.

[brickdykehouse]

I'm confused... you say that those are acts of genocide but none of them are in line with the definition you gave? It doesn't just say 'when civilians are killed' or 'when combatants are killed' or 'when a city is bombed' - those are all just aspects of war. Hell, it doesn't even say 'when a city is indiscriminately bombed' because no one would call Hiroshima or Nagasaki genocides.

Awful, yes. Genocide, no.

I'm not going to comment on the veracity of your claims (many of which sound a whole lot like propaganda), but even if they were all accurate that still doesn't constitute a genocide. It just sounds like a war to me, or, more specifically, a seige.

Considering the targets are largely civilian residential, medical, and education, it does constitute a genocide. Genocide isn't defined by the method, its defined by the intended result. Considering that Israeli politicians themselves have been quoted as wishing to render the strip "unlivable" and describe Palestinians as "human animals", it would constitute a genocide.

If the IDF ACTUALLY wanted to eliminate Hamas, they could do so effectively with minimal civilian casualties. Israel is backed by the USA, one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world. Israel could have gone in, eliminated hamas, freed the hostages, and left. Except they decided to carpet bomb the strip and deny humanitarian aid. Israel has killed more hostages themselves than Hamas has.

And before you say "Hamas supporter!": I think that both Hamas and the Israeli government have committed war crimes and atrocities. I also realise that one is doing it on a larger scale against millions of people, and the other took a few hundred hostages which they *said they would release if Israel stopped bombing the strip and killing civilians, which Israel ignored*

Hamas even SAID that they would submit to the decision of the ICC in a ceasefire scenario. All Israel needs to do is to just... stop bombing the strip, stop murdering civilians rampantly, and they get: Hamas's leaders arrested, Hostages returned, and Peace.

But they don't want that. The Israeli war cabinet hungers for the blood of the palestinian people, and that is evident.

[brickdykehouse]

Do you have any source on the IDF intentionally targeting women and children? Or did you just see a meme about it?

The only people intentionally targeting civilians here is Hamas, who also just admitted to significantly over reporting the death of women and children, cutting their reported number by nearly half.

Plus, the only reason Rafah is being attacked is because Hamas decided to go there too, and bring hostages with them. Israel had been very clear on its goals: destroy Hamas and get the hostages back.

And even if everything you said was true (it's not) that *still* wouldn't even come close to a genocide.

You've fallen for so much propaganda, it's honestly sad.

If Israel's goal was to be rid of Hamas and retrieve hostages, they would of accepted the ceasefire deal that would've resulted in Hamas disbanding and the hostages being returned, which Israel said no to!

The hamas leaders stated they would VOLUNTARILY submit to the ICC prosecutors in the scenario where a permanent ceasefire was achieved. Israel refuses any deal that would result in a ceasefire because what they care about is razing the strip to the ground, as many of the war cabinet have been QUOTED saying PUBLICALLY.

[brickdykehouse]

The IOF barely rescued any hostages. The IOF has proabably killed more of their own hostages through bombardment than they rescued. Israel is CHOOSING to "rescue the hostages via military action" despite the fact that over A HUNDRED HOSTAGES were recovered during a TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE and through DIPLOMATIC SOLUTIONS. Which, as far as I see, the first category are all in favour of, and the second is not.

What you're saying here is that you support the slaughter of tens of thousands of palestinians. You don't support the rescue of hostages otherwise you'd be calling for a ceasefire too. The continuation of the war is exclusively in the interest of eradicating palestinians and taking their land from them. Nothing else. They're using the hostages as an excuse to cause as much collateral damage as possible despite the fact that the collateral damage will likely kill any hostages too.

NOT EVEN MENTIONING PALESTINIAN HOSTAGES HELD BY ISRAEL.

Fuck outta here coloniser.

Did not rescue the Israeli hostages:

1) the UN

2) the ICJ

3) NGOs

4) any world government besides Israel, including the countries whose own citizens are hostages

5) the Free Palestine movement

7) college campus encampments

8) keyboard warriors

9) calls for a “ceasefire”

10) anyone who calls themselves an “anti-Zionist”

Did rescue the Israeli hostages:

1) Israel

2) the IDF

Why would we ever listen to anyone in that first category? Listening to them means we die. Ignoring them and rescuing each other means we live. It’s that simple. Don’t you dare moralize at us and lecture us while sentencing us to death. If you’re not going to lift a finger to save us, get the fuck out of our way.

So yes, I support Israel and the IDF, the entities that actually save the lives of Jews - the only entities in the world that do so. And I will never, ever be ashamed of that. And if I became ashamed of that, the world would still let me get kidnapped and leave me to rot for being a Jew, so 🤷‍♀️

[brickdykehouse]

Why would I give a shit about something that happened last year when this year, a fully armed and advanced military is using their combat ability to massacre civilians in an effort to raze their land to the ground in an ethnic cleansing of a scale and ferocity not before seen. Meanwhile the same people who are doing the genocide are crying wild stories about the thing that happened last year, which keep getting debunked, one after the other, and insisting that we all try and focus on the thing that happened last year instead of the ongoing genocide. Let's also not forget that most of the destruction on oct7 was caused by the IOF opening fire on *everyone* in the area with actual apache attack helicopters, including their own civilians.

The real antisemitism is conducting genocidal ethnic cleansing with fucking carpet bombing under the star of david and insisting that your actions are inseparable from the Jewish people.

And the Zionists don't give a fuck about the hostages. We've already established that Israel killed more hostages than Hamas has, and has been pressuring the families of hostages to be pro-war vocally, under threats.

Now to get slightly off topic but its important to note that Israel is attacking basically every other country around them too, with white phosphorus (banned weapon, its a war crime) and also has concentration and torture camps.

And don't even get me STARTED on the ACTUAL SLAVES that Israel has.

the fact that people are so comfortable using the word zionist as a slur or ignoring the oct7 massacre or the hostages and still consider themselves as human rights activists simply baffles me

[brickdykehouse]

This is clear evidence that this was never about Hamas. You think something like this can crop up without WAY more planning than 8 months? I bet they started designing this plan whilst NEOM (stupid idea btw, making a city to please a dictator never works) was being announced.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office recently released a PowerPoint that gives a glimpse into what the Likud Party has in mind for Gaza’s future, and the Levant region at large. On May 3, Netanyahu unveiled Gaza 2035: A three-step master plan to build what he calls the “Gaza-Arish-Sderot Free Trade Zone.” The plan was first reported by The Jerusalem Post and later by Al Jazeera. The Gaza-Arish-Sderot Free Trade Zone would encompass the 141 square miles that make up the Gaza Strip, where more than 34,500 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the past several months, and where experts say that famine is underway. The zone also would include the El-Arish Port to Gaza’s south in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and Sderot, an Israeli city north of Gaza. UN officials issued a report on May 2 stating that over 70 percent of Gaza’s building stock has been destroyed, and that it would cost $40–50 billion to rebuild. This prompted one UN official, Abdallah al-Dardari, to say: “We have not seen anything like this since 1945.” Under the auspices of Gaza 2035, the new free trade zone would be administered by Israel, Egypt, and what the Israeli Prime Minister calls the Gaza Rehabilitation Authority (GRA)—a proposed Palestinian-run agency that would oversee reconstruction in Gaza and “manage the Strip’s finances.” The PowerPoint affirms that the GRA would not deliver Palestinian statehood and makes no reference to a two-state system. Instead, by 2035, Gaza and the West Bank would be placed under the “nominal administration” of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel would be responsible for the free trade zone’s security. yNet correspondent Ron Ben Yishai called Gaza 2035 Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Singapore vision.” Gaza 2035 is officially entitled Plan for the Transformation of the Gaza Strip and it promises to deliver Gaza “from crisis to prosperity.” Netanyahu’s idea entails “rebuilding from nothing,” he said.

Okay lets run it down

- Saying "Rape is abhorrent unless its Jewish women huh?" is a strawman. Nobody is saying rape is okay in any context, in fact I've not seen a single person say anything related to this in support of palestine at all. I *have* seen zionists screaming at protesters that they hope they get raped. I've also seen the reports about the systematic sexual violence and torture perpetrated towards palestinian hostages in the IOF torture camps.

It's *also* important to point out that there have been recent investigations from various bodies that detail how reports of sexual violence committed by Hamas on Oct7 were greatly exaggerated. However, whether or not Hamas used sexual violence as a weapon, which signs seem to point to no, ultimately doesn't matter in the conversation about the ongoing genocide.

- Another strawman. Nobody is saying that killing civilians isn't a war crime, and that the people Hamas killed on oct7 weren't victims of said war crimes. However it's important to note that on oct7, the IOF deployed attack helicopters which opened fire on EVERYTHING, including their own civilians, which caused the majority of the destruction and is VERY much also a war crime. Add to that the IOF is systematically assassinating Palestinians civilians with carpet bombing, its no wonder the worlds talking more about what the IOF is currently doing than what Hamas did nearly nine months ago.

- Again, nobody is saying that the hostages deserved to be treated like that. The reason people say they were treated "Well" is because of the constant claims from Israeli media and officials that the hostages were experiencing torture, sexual violence, and all kinds of human rights violations, when actually they were placed with families and forced to work their keep. These claims of mistreatment of hostages was solely perpetuated to justify the treatment of palestinians in wrongfully held hostage by the IOF, and now that the truth is revealed, it falls through. Hence why the slavery talk is about now. Hamas brought one of the hostages a birthday cake ffs...

This is also ignoring the actual modern slaves Israel has, or do I need to remind you of the Malawian workers who were arrested for leaving their farming positions because they were paid half what they were promised?

- The first part of your statement is true. But also, saying 'Centuries' Doesn't *actually* bring into focus how long ago the events that are being used for justification occurred. The kingdom of israel fell to the Assyrians in 720 BCE. That is roughly 2744 years. To put this in perspective, the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, started construction in 292 BCE, approximately 500 years *after* the fall of Israel. The kingdom of Israel is ancient history. It would be like the modern Maltese people invading all of the northern African coast in an attempt to revive the empire of carthage, except they'd have more of a claim than Israel does since carthage fell in 149 BCE, nearly 600 years AFTER the fall of Israel. How do people not see how ridiculous this is? Reviving a kingdom older than the Roman Colosseum isn't a reasonable idea and YET. Not to mention that the people who have lived in Palestine for over two thousand years have been palestinian, in fact longer because the arabs were there before the fall of Israel too, meanwhile zionists from all around the world congregate in Israel, steal land through violence on a claim older than the fucking Qin dynasty, and think that makes them more indigenous than the people they expulsed.

- Collective punishment is a war crime. Criticising people for supporting a genocide, which is what is *actually* happening, is not. Just because a lot of the people who are vocal about supporting the IOF and the genocide ARE Israeli (well, zionist), doesn't mean that the people criticising them are doing it because they're Israeli, they're criticising them for supporting a fucking genocide.

- Yes, Jewish people face antisemitism. No, committing a genocide against the Palestinian people *doesn't* count as a civil rights movement, unfortunately for zionists.

- All the media can talk about right now is the increase in Antisemitism. You wanna talk about reducing antisemitism? Stop massacring thousands of children and then insisting that the massacre is the will of the Jewish people, because if anything is gonna make people Angry At Jews For No Reason™, it's committing a genocide while pretending you're the Jewish everyman.

- You cannot get married in Israel as a same-sex couple. Israel does not have civil non-religious marriages, and therefore does not allow people to get married in Israel unless it's Heterosexual. The one-up they have over elsewhere is that they don't criminalise homosexual activity. Bare fucking minimum? Also, using queer rights to try and garner sympathy for a genocidal regime is practically the *definition* of pinkwashing.

This has been said ad nauseum, I know, but the thing I just *cannot* get over is how very quickly and easily the left as a movement abandoned its most basic principles:

“Rape is an abhorrent, violating crime and we must believe and uplift survivors” - until it is done to Jewish women and girls in the name of ‘resistance’ then it’s just fine and dandy, or we might not even believe you at all.

“An armed force invading and mass murdering civilians is a war crime” - until the victims are Jews and you’ve decided it’s ‘resistance’ and ‘you don’t get to criticise how they fight back.’ No, mate, the word you’re looking for is ‘pogrom.’

“Slavery is bad” - until it is Jews being held hostage in Palestinian homes and forced to work then it’s ‘they were treated well and fed, what more do you want?’

“Indigenous peoples regaining their ancestral homelands is a key part of decolonisation and is a worthy endeavour” - until it is Jews regaining the land of Israel after centuries of disenfranchisement then it’s ‘white supremacy’ and ‘colonialism’ and the most evil thing in the world.

“Collective punishment is bad, citizens aren’t responsible for the actions of their government” - until we can treat every single Israeli like evil incarnate and deserving of the worst abuse and treatment simply for existing.

“Oppressed people know their own oppression better than you do. Listen to them and don’t presume to know better about the issues they face” - until it’s Jews talking about antisemitism and then it’s ignoring them, talking over them and accusing them of weaponising their oppression to silence criticism.

“Abuse and violence against an oppressed group must be condemned wholeheartedly and we must stand with the persecuted” - until it is Jews facing a 400% increase in antisemitism - being spat at, beaten, raped, ostracised from public spaces, having their schools and synagogues targeted, and then it’s shut our eyes and ears and pretend none of it is happening.

“Queer rights for all” - until Israel dares to be a beacon of queer rights in the Middle East and then it’s ‘pinkwashing.’

Do you even hear yourselves? Do you even care that you are being breathtaking hypocrites? How do you expect anyone to ever take you seriously ever again?
