Loves it when you tangle your fingers in his hair and tug to really show how good you’re feeling.

On love and sacrifices

There’s so much more to this scapegoating business and big sacrifices referenced in the Good Omens narrative than the literal goats. And they’re only getting bigger, louder, final.

But let’s take it slow and start with the beginning, quite literally — i.e., with the Good Omens 2 title sequence. As we follow Aziraphale and Crowley on their journey, the universe warps and their usual left and right side positioning switches during the magic show (not accidentally an act of trust and sacrifice required both from the angel and the demon). They stay so throughout the next scene, which is their little dance in the air, and after they seemingly get settled on the A. Z. Fell and Co.’s roof and back to normal, the flipped sky in the background suggests that something’s not quite right yet. In the central part of the shot looms a large, humanlike shadow of the Elephant Trunk Nebula.

The nebula is a part of a constellation called Cepheus, after an Ethiopian king from the Greek mythology who agreed to sacrifice his only daughter in order to appease the gods and end a local calamity started by her mother and his wife, Cassiopeia (talk about generational responsibility). With time and a delightfully ironic twist of fate, the name of said daughter, Andromeda, became more famous than that of her father. Although she was chained up to a rock and offered to the sea serpent Cetus, the girl was spotted by the warrior Perseus, casually flying over the sea — either on the back of the Pegasus or thanks to a pair of winged sandals — after his victory over Medusa. He fell in love on the spot, defeated the serpent (with the help of a magical sword or Medusa’s severed head, depending on the varying sources), and freed the princess. That’s not exactly where their story ends, but we won’t be getting into the rest here.

Not surprisingly, Neil has mentioned two parallel child sacrifice stories from the biblical context back in August. The first is one of the big ones — The Binding of Isaac. God's command to sacrifice Isaac, his only son, was a test of Abraham's faith. The angel of the Lord intervenes and provides a ram to be sacrificed in the boy’s place.

The second one isn’t nearly as popular, but you might have heard a variant of it in fairy tales or as the Law of Surprise invoked in The Witcher saga. In exchange for Israel’s victory over its enemies in battle, Jephthah had rashly promised God to repay the debt with the first thing seen on his return back home. The victorious warrior didn’t suspect to see his only child moving innocently "to meet him with timbrels and with dances" though. In horror, Jephthah covered his eyes with his cloak, but to no avail: ultimately, he was forced to honor his vow to God, and the girl was sacrificed. As grisly as it might look like in the Old Master’s paintings, it’s important to remember that human sacrifices weren’t limited to physical offerings only — Jephthah’s daughter might have been offered to God in the sense of officially shunning her family and dedicating her life to service instead, probably sequestered in a temple somewhere.

Interestingly, the main character of a big chunk of the Bible and the reason for the Second Coming happens to be THE most influential child sacrifice in the modern history. You know, a certain 33-year-old carpenter sent by his Heavenly Father to die on a cross for the sins of the mankind? Someone better call Aubrey Thyme ASAP.

Circling back to Aziraphale, he could be also seen as a representative of the concept of filial piety, since Eden willing to personally take a Fall not only for the humanity’s collective or individual transgressions, but the shortcomings of his Ineffable Parental Figure as well. Our favorite angel angel always fights for what is right and good, sure, but why would that be even a thing if God was truly omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent?

If Aziraphale’s medal is anything to go by, it looks like we might get an answer from the way it’s introducing another mythological narrative into the game, that is the story of Daedalus and Icarus. The most absorbing thing about this is the stark contrast to the recurring child sacrifice references for S3 mentioned in this post — Daedalus isn’t a father who wanted to sacrifice his son, it was his attempt to save him from imprisonment that ultimately drove Icarus to his death. The boy ignored his father’s explicit instructions, committing the grave and culturally universal sin of disobedience to one's parents that simply couldn’t go unpunished, one way or another.

But Icarus’s transgression could be seen both as high-flying ambition and striving for personal accomplishment as well as humanitarian sacrifice for knowledge and humanity’s advancement in general.

Similarly to a certain angel who left everything for what superficially seems like a work promotion, but is the ultimate act of love — both for his demon and the children they have been protecting and nurturing together for six thousand years. From the very Beginning, his white wings have been shielding everything he holds dear in this world.

by Gabriel Gaysinsky

In Canada, an open letter by city councilor Susan Kim and provincial parliament member Sarah Jama dismissed accusations of rape by Hamas as misinformation. This letter was endorsed by the head of the University of Alberta Sexual Assault Center. After facing significant backlash, Jama doubled down, blaming the “Zionist lobby” for pressuring the Canadian government into reprimanding her.

At the United Nations, it took eight weeks for an official condemnation of Hamas’ rapes to be released by UN Women. Sarah Douglas, Deputy Chief of Peace and Security at UN Women, has endorsed 153 tweets attacking Israel and Zionists, and attended UN meetings with pro-Palestine posters, violating UN neutrality guidelines. Suffice it to say that a key leader in the UN’s initiative to uplift women is actively working against the very women she is charged with uplifting.

The traditionally progressive Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, particularly its Chicago chapter, has also faced criticism for endorsing terrorism. Mere hours after the release of the first October 7th footage, BLM Chicago posted a tweet with a hang-glider image, referencing Hamas terrorists who used hang-gliders to attack and kill hundreds of partygoers at the Nova Music Festival. This blatant support for a violent attack on innocent civilians by an organization that has committed itself to the fight for equality is shocking, especially considering the fact that Hamas has held Avera Mengistu, a mentally ill Ethiopian-Israeli man, in captivity since 2014.

On college campuses, the situation is dire. Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at UC Davis, the university I attend, justified the October 7th attack and glorified the attackers. Their rallies have featured slogans like “We don’t want no Jewish state” — which is a call for the eradication of Israel — and “Globalize the Intifada,” which calls for the violence of the intifadas to be repeated against Jewish communities worldwide. Professors also joined in; Jemma Decristo, a university faculty member, tweeted threatening messages against “Zionist journalists.” Another professor stated that “all Israeli residents are legitimate targets,” actively calling for violence against his own Israeli students and colleagues. After UC Davis students began an encampment mimicking those already established on other campuses, several professors reportedly required classes to attend the space, or have given extra credit for doing so, despite the fact that many Jewish and Israeli students are extremely uncomfortable with its messaging.

The aftermath of October 7th revealed that the hatred I experienced at my university is not unique. Higher education, while more radical, mirrors the outside world. The antisemitism and disregard for basic principles of human rights when it comes to Israelis might start on college campuses but can spread throughout society. I see this hate everywhere. Unless progressives worldwide undergo a fundamental shift that includes Jewish and Israeli voices, I will never call myself a progressive again.

[sky-daddy-hates-me]

Before I knew about the genocide in Palestine I learnt about the one ongoing in West Papua.

I will always make sure that people hear me at least mention that while Indonesia opposes the genocide Israel is commiting they are commiting their own against the indigenous tribes, some of which are fighting against modern warfare tech with spears.

I will always mention that Sudan is undergoing its own genocide. As a strong ally of Palestine many Palestinian refugees sought safety in Sudan in previous years, however in April/May last year 281 Palestinians were evacuated from Sudan by the Palestinian Embassy because of the ethnic killings of the Masalit people.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has been a long time ally of Israel, which isn't surprising when the multiple conflicts that have happened and are still happening has led to 6 million people being killed since 1996 in the DRC.

Armenia, also a supporter of Palestine, is facing a genocide from Azerbaijan. Just last year 200+ civillians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region were injured by invading Azerbaija, and over 100,000 civilians were forced to flee.

Myanmar is also a longtime supporter of Israel, and Israels influence can clearly be seen in the Myanmar government's brutal attacks on the Rohingya people.

China, who has undoubtedly helped push for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, isn't innocent either. There is an ongoing genocide being committed against the Uyghur people in Xinjiang.

In Ethiopia its estimated that at least 800,000 people have been killed in Tigray by Ethiopian Government forces.

[studiodaydream]

genuinely, genuinely, in the most neutral way possible: zionism in no way claims that jews control the world. idk where you got that from. all zionism is is the belief that jews should be able to live in their ancestral homeland freely. it's not white supremacy, because not all jews are white. please stop spreading hate ❤️

There is no hate for Jews here, only for White Supremacist ideologylies like Zionism.

I have proof that Israel mutilates, and guns down African Jews, who are not the so called "Evil Muslims" that Zionist love to kill and murder for their land and resources.

Most of this is about Ethiopian Jews but the treatment of Refugees from African Countries is even more so appalling.

You cannot tell me to do my research and all I've found is Racism, Islamophobia, Genocide, Mutilation and Murder.

Talks about a Chosen Race, and Superior Bloodlines and not see the White Supremacy that has plagued America and Europe for hundreds of years.

You can not tell me to do my research about Zionism and tell me I don't know anything only to see that your so called "Jewish Nationalist Independence" came from an Antisemitic British man

So no im not spreading hate, I'm spreading facts about the White Supremacist ideology of Zionism. That believes that it shouldn't be criticized because it's Jewish White Nationalism and it's different from regular White Nationalism and if you compare the two and criticize Israel you're antisemitic and you hate Jews.

Judaism is a non violent religion. Jewish Culture is non violent. What is Violent is Zionism and its settler colonialist aggression towards its neighbors, relentlessly bombing them out of "self defense" well the world is watching what youre so called "self defense" looks like.

It looks like dead babies left in hospitals that have been bombed

Isreal's "self defense" looks like a father asking for help with his child, as his dead child's REMAINS are stuffed in bags and yet he begs for help

Israel's self defense looks like White Phosphorus being dropped on innocent civilians

https://youtu.be/geqdxdNEToU?si=js5ZGZC4eajY7uO2

These links show that Israel is not only a White Supremacist Nation like its parents The US and UK but also that Zionism is a White Supremacist Ideology.

I am not spreading hate Anon, I am spreading facts. To deny these facts is to spread hate. To deny that Israel is not a criminal empire and is simply "defending its right to exist" is to spread hate.

Antisemitism is on the rise and it's not because of people like me Anon is it because of Israel and Zionist Settler Colonialist Aggression towards the Palestinians and towards its Arab Neighbors. Israel denies the Nakba and that it stole land at all claiming that "no one lived here before we came" a "empty land with no people". Well there were people and those people had neighbors who saw what Zionist did to their defenseless neighbor with the backing of terrorist countries like the US and the UK. Terrorist Nations that destabilized and murdered millions in 3 separate nations in their "War on Terror".

White Supremacy has no ally on this blog, including Zionism.

If you want to unfollow me go ahead. I will not be swayed by Zionist Propaganda that this is all in "defense" of Jewish Nationhood, and how the only way to "defend" Jewish Nationhood is to invade other countries and murder other people who look different from them because they are the "Chosen People".

We've heard it all before, when the Europeans said they were bringing "civilization" to Africa and the Americas by enslaving our people and stealing our land and resources. When America had its "Manifest Destiny" which led to the genocide of countless Native Americans and the stealing of their land and resources. To Nazi Germany and the "Superior Ayan Race" which killed millions and invaded other nations killing millions of more.

You might be familiar with that last one, the Holocaust. Where millions of Jews were brutally and systematically murdered. But not only Jews but Black Europeans, Romanian Immigrants and LGBTQ Europeans.

But it seems like Israel has forgotten history because it does not treat African Jews equally to its European Jews and is actively Hostile to Refugees from African countries. While committing Genocide against the Palestinians as I type this out.

So if you're reading this I implore you to donate if you can or spread awareness of what's happening in Gaza

https://buildpalestine.com/2021/05/15/trusted-organizations-to-donate-to-palestine/

And your daily clicks

https://arab.org/click-to-help/

Do not allow Zionist to call you antisemitic for calling them out on their lies.

Palestine will be Free, From the River to the Sea

[geekthefreakout]

This is important.

It is an important skill to be able to hold two thoughts in your head. Example:

1. Netanyahu is perpetuating a genocide, and protests against him and the actions of the Israeli government are righteous.

2. Anti-Semitic groups have been using these protests to show their ass, and people are right to condemn those people calling for the extermination of Jews in Israel, even if they are couching it in a pro-Palestinian context.

More examples:

1. Jews are indigenous to Palestine and were forced into diaspora.

2. Betty from Brooklyn should not get to kick a Palestinian family from their home of decades or centuries based on who lived there in the Bronze Age.

And

1. The attack on October 7th by Hamas was tragic and infuriating. They are a terrorist organization through and through. The hostages are innocents who deserve to be brought home.

2. Israel has extracted its vengeance in blood from Palestinian civilians who did nothing but try to live. There is no excuse for 10k+ murdered children, for bombed ambulances and food banks, for destroyed homes and schools.

Also

1. Israel is a settler state whose foundation is cracked and whose laws condemn many of its denizens to live as second or third class citizens, as it continues to expand beyond its bounds and have no care for the non-Jewish indigenous peoples it is displacing.

2. Israel has given a home to many Jewish refugees, including thousands of Ethiopian Jews that had to be airlifted to safety.

3. (Weren't expecting this third one, were ya?) In the 40 years since said Ethiopian Jews were liberated, they have faced and STILL face rampant racism in Israel. Their woes were not all solved.

There are many aspects to the travesty in Palestine. You need to be hold these complex thoughts in your head to really get at the situation.

What is NOT complex: genocide is bad, actually, and we shouldn't be enabling it.

Please, PLEASE, make sure that you're not falling victim to the absolutism that so often plagues people who are terminally online, the kind that assumes that if one side is bad the other one must be good, or vice versa.

Do your daily click for Palestine if you haven't today!

[invisiblewoman1996]

The insanely stupid arguments I get for being Israel-

Go back to where to came from- I’m living in my homeland. You go back to where you come from.

Your oppressing so just go die- so are you saying every American person should die because America has oppressed Africans, and Native Americans- yet you only say Israelis should die.

Ceasefire now- once the hostages are home, seems you don’t care about them but we do. Hamas has broken every ceasefire in the past, so no we won’t do it on their terms, we’ll do it once we get our people back.

Children are dying- rockets are falling on Israel and you don’t care. If you wanted to help the children you would force hamas to let them go to a safe space, but instead you allow Hamas to use their people as human shields to justify this war.

Israelis are white- most Israelis are from the Middle East, whether they are from Iran, Yemen, they are Druz, Bedouin etc. they are Ethiopian Jews , Moroccan Jews. Also European Jews aren’t white, not by European standards. As of now, Jews are the minority that revives the most hatred in the United States.

A lot of Palestinians don’t want a two state solution, they want to kill all Israelis and you don’t criticize them. You let them take down posters of innocent civilians, you let them cheer on our deaths. You let them attack Jewish people- and yet you call yourselves progressive.

[dyemelikeasunset]

would you be able to include flag country names for the dom&mor characters lineup? ty!

(i love how diverse all your art and characters are, i wish i could read thru all about your ocs and stories like browsing through a wiki in an autism way)

THANK YOU!! In fact I can do you one better and write little blurbs for everyone! Including our leading ladies too of course Under the readmore:

Mor's side

Morgan: Jamaican American Lesbian. Mor's parents came from Jamaica but she was born in the US, where she grew up with her mom in Boston before moving to NYC. Mor went to university for a BA in Graphic Design and met most of her friends there. She works from home these days. Mor doesn't really realize she's the resident Pretty Girl in her group of friends (she has bad self esteem)

Lexi: American Nonbinary Lesbian. Lex met Mor in high school when they both played on the softball team, and they both came out to each other. They've been able to stay friends all these years cause their tastes in girls are wildly different. Lexi belongs to a different group as the rest of Mor's friends since they didn't go to the same college, but they're Mor's very annoying ride-or-die

Panos: Greek Ethiopian and Bisexual. Panos met Mor through their shared degree and has been a mentor and big brother figure for her since. They help onboard her to a lot of projects, and the two of them rely on each other professionally. He never really stops talking about his wife and daughter-- it's the price everyone has to pay, since he's so reliable and understanding and helping everyone all the time

Ryan: (Sansei) Japanese American and Gay. Out of Mor's art friends, Ryan is the one who's most practical about his job. Instead, he puts his energy into being a menace in his dating life. He loves to gossip about his and Mor's very messy love lives and is convinced Morgan is just as much of a heartbreaker as he is behind her innocent facade. She has unfortunately told Ryan all her dirty laundry so he teases her relentlessly every chance he gets

Barjis: Malay Trans and Bisexual. Barjis came to the US with their boyfriend to pursue their degree and also start their transition. They have a surprisingly cute illustration style and work with Panos and Mor often. They love to talk animated movies with Morgan, and it's one of the few things that gets them to talk a lot. Very skittish and tired all the time, and has a bit of a fear of "normies"

Elsa: Norwegian Lesbian. Elsa is Mor's unwitting rival in love because they always crush on the same girls (Ryan loves to tease her about this). Elsa is currently losing (Mor: 7, Elsa: 2) but she's not bitter, just single and sad. She's currently working in web journalism even though she wants to publish her novel. Friendly and considerate, but awkward

Dom's side

Dominique: Korean/Chinese and Asexual. Dom was born in Beijing but grew up in Seoul with her mother. She started working as a model at 16 and moved to the US alone when she was 18. She's currently coming back into the modeling world after a 2 year hiatus. She's charming and good at socializing, but she doesn't really know how to make friends, which frustrates model coworkers who want to be closer to her

Farid: Afghan French and Gay. Farid became a model in his late father's footsteps, so he's often accused of being a nepo model. He's fussy and annoyed easily, but he can never refuse helping people. One of Dom's only real friends, he's a bit like a little brother to her and relies on her a lot. He has a bad habit of dating married men and acting like it doesn't matter to him (it matters. A lot.)

Maithili: Indian Canadian and Pansexual. Maithili is breezy and easy-going, but behind her dreamy facade is a very level-headed personality. She works with Dom often for body diversity shoots, but she'd really like to do more high fashion. Very flirtatious, calls Dom and Farid her "work boyfriends" all the time

Wynter: British Trans woman. Wynter started modeling a little later than her peers. She was scouted after a big transition point, so modeling has brought her a lot of euphoria. She's one of the more mature personalities in Dom's life, and looks after her and the other models a lot. She lives with her boyfriend and is hoping he'll propose soon

Evita: Argentine American and Bisexual. Evita started as a social media influencer and has been able to make her way to the runway as a petite model. Despite their nonchalant persona, they work very hard and are very passionate about their job. Her current romance hangup is how oblivious Dominique is, and she knows she needs to move on

Inessa: Russian (and no fruity business). Inessa met Dom backstage at a Fashion Week while having a breakdown that Dom helped her through, so she's been attached like an inprinted duckling ever since. The type of straight girl who is obsessed with pretty women in a platonic way, so she really wants to get to know more about Dom's cute new girlfriend

[madamemachikonew]

It's sad that you've chosen to bring politics into your blog. Innocent people in Israel and Palestine are both being affected by the actions of terror groups, so why are saying "Free Palestine" and ignoring the suffering of millions of Israeli Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, etc?

I didn't bring it into my blog though. Somebody sent unsolicited fake propaganda to me. I simply responded to that. Your ask once again brings the politics into my space and expressly seeks commentary, under the protective veil of anonymity.

As a half-Palestinian (based overseas) with branches of family on both sides of the border, I don't owe you or anyone else any explanation for not wanting my family to be ethnically cleansed by genocidaires, their culture and history erased, and having what precious little remains of their land stolen from under them to hand over to extremist settlers who literally want them dead (irrespective of whether they are Muslim, Christian or Druze) because of a destructive ideology.

And so you ask me 'why are you saying "Free Palestine" [...]?'

Asking for Palestinian civilians not to be murdered in cold blood or forcibly displaced does not equate advocating violence against other people or ignoring their suffering. Expressing objections to the actions of a government or apartheid ideology does not equate hostility or indifference towards ordinary civilians living under that government or support for terror groups.

So you are extrapolating and drawing a false equivalence because I didn't include an exhaustive list of every group you wanted in a freaking hashtag; classic 'I like pancakes' 'So you hate waffles?' fallacy. Your ask is akin to replying 'All lives matter' to a BLM post.

But it remains an incontrovertible fact that at the present time, Palestinians of all religions are being massacred and having buildings flattened at a wholly disproportionate rate to other civilians in the immediate region, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. The military machine is being funded by some of the world's biggest superpowers and civilians have nowhere to flee or access to resources. It's like medieval siege warfare but on a national scale. There is also a massive disparity in the quality of life for civilians in Palestine compared to those in Israel due to long-standing obstructive practices concerning access to basic amenities, border control and import control. For many years it has been for all intents and purposes an open prison. "Free Palestine" encompasses allowing them to have basic living standards and human rights on a par with their neighbours at a very minimum.

I say a very minimum because I am well aware of how many ethnicities and religions are treated as second class citizens in Israel by its apartheid regime, including some of its own Jews (eg. branches of Judaism that don't support or recognise the current State as politically or theologically valid). If you want to see Israel's track record for treating its own Jews of Arab or African ethnicity, look up how naturalised Israeli-Ethiopian Jews regularly suffer racial discrimination and the frankly stomach-churning Yemenite Children Affair.

The apartheid has been going on for generations and needs to stop. And I am so very tired of having to justify asking for my family to be recognised as human beings without having some sort of accusation thrown at me.

This is the last post on this matter.

Anon asks will be closed for the foreseeable.

[askmalal]

I suggest you stand up for your Jewish friends now, because otherwise you may have to hide them later.

This is the thing; it’s perfectly moral and rational to criticize and even be infuriated by Israeli behavior. It’s equally valid to criticize Hamas.

Some of you, however, have crossed the line into Anti-Semitism, and no matter how edgy and “anti-establishment” you are, it’s only getting worse from here.

Hamas does NOT speak for the majority of Palestinians. They are not revolutionaries struggling for the common good. They are not heroes. They are terrorists and murderers. They knew exactly what they were doing:

Netanyahu is corrupt and morally bankrupt. He had just forcibly changed the laws in Israel so that the courts effectively have no checks in place to restrain him. The head of the IAF resigned, calling him a fascist. Several veterans threatened to quit: many did. He imported right wing militants to beat and harass Ethiopian Jews in Israel: Ethiopian Jews -saved- Israel during the Yom Kippur War.

So, Hamas took advantage of the situation. They knew that this would provoke a reaction from him. How could it not? They planned this. They orchestrated it. There’s a good amount of reason to suspect that they were aided by Putin and Assad.

If you support Hamas, you support the use of innocent people as Human shields. You support the use of the Red Cross to mark combatant vehicles. You support a government that was not elected. You are most certainly not speaking for Palestinian Jews, Muslims, Christians, Atheists, Agnostics, and Pagans.

If you support Netanyahu, you are no better.

[fr0ggs]

reposting and editing my ceasefire call script because it got taken down. don't lose traction now, none of this is over.

"Hello, *my name is [your name]. I am a constituent of [congressperson], and I am calling to inform you about the numerous genocides happening worldwide. At this point in time, you are likely already aware of the genocide of Palestinian and Ukranian people, but there are many more genocides happening in the world, and the overlooking of such happenings, while innocents continue to suffer, must end.

 

Currently, Congolese, Armenian, Tigrayan, Yemeni, Guatemalan, Rohingya, Haitian, Native American, Kashmiri, Kurd, Sudanese, Ukrainian, Palestinian, Argentinian, Afghan, Moroccan, Libyan, Syrian, Lebanese, West Papuan, Cameroonian, Burmese, Uyghurs, Iraqi, Somali, Hawai’ian, Puerto Rican, Senegalese, Kenyan, Ethiopian, Cuban and many more people are experiencing genocide (or close risk of it, according to genocidewatch.com), along with ethnic cleansing, displacement, restrictions on living necessities, and the like. Also currently, the United States government continues to be not only complicit, but supportive of these attacks out of ignorance and selfish benefit.

 In order to maintain current support, it is dire that you take action on the side of the people. Please do research on each and take a look into doing whatever possible to save the innocent people around the world from living a life of constant abuse and murder. 

 Some things you can do, for example, include: 

- Calling for (or implementing):

The appointment of special envoys

A reversal of the funding cuts to UNRWA

An increase in funding to and the development of NGOs providing humanitarian aid

A permanent and immediate ceasefire for relevant locations (such as Gaza)

- Voting NO on the supplemental funding package to send more weapons to Israel (if you are in the position to do so)

Thank you for your time. I trust that you will do what you would want other countries to do for us."

*before adding your name, check to see if your congressperson requires it. if not, dont give more information than required.

im going off of whats required in email forms for my congresspeople, but im not entirely sure if thats a good way to do it, so feel free to add if you have a better way, mainly for being able to know without having to ask directly, since i and others are calling while out of hours.

[boreal-sea]

okay but if you can grasp that nuance then you can grasp the nuance of the Israeli government actively stealing land by way of violence is not necessarily the same as the actions of the people who have lived in the region since before Mandatory Palestine became the state of Israel while the latter still may be more or less complicit. and yes, living in northern North America that VERY much applies to me as well. the dividing line is race under Israeli rule, while Palestine was multicultural.

(also that's not even getting into how Israel by admission treats Ethiopian Jews. I want a homeland for all Jews, not one conditional upon forced sterilization.)

I admire your desire for peace, and I love that you are standing up for Jews and Judaism, but even as we agree on most other things I can't help but disagree on the point that Israel needs to continue to exist as it does, because what it is doing is antithetical to the core of all the faiths in the Levant and antithetical to the stated goal of a homeland for the Jewish people.

Yes, I literally said "much of the land in modern day Israel is stolen" - but most is not all, and insisting that all of the land of Israel is stolen, or that all Israelis live on stolen land is, quite frankly, a lie.

However, I agree that it is wrong for Israel to divide people based on race, and I said as much in my first response (when I said there needs to stop being a division of citizens based on being Palestinian or Israeli) and obviously that extends to every other race. Sterilization is literally an act of genocide.

However, I never said "Israel needs to continue to exist as it does", and I don't know why you're implying I did. I don't think Israel as it currently exists is a just state, I don't think it was formed justly, and I think it is involved in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. But I'm also not so arrogant a Westerner I think I get to say "this country doesn't deserve to exist because I don't like it".

What I said was "I do not get to make that decision because I don't live there". I also said that I don't know what the solution looks like, but that it is in the hands of the people who live there.

I think as Westerners we need to take our fingers out of the business of countries we don't live in and stop telling people there how they ought to live. We need to stop declaring that we know best what they need.

Do all Israeli Jews benefit from the system of oppression created in the modern state of Israel? Yeah, absolutely. But I believe that creating a hierarchy of Jews who are "more complicit" and those who are "less complicit" only fuels antisemitism, because antisemitic people don't see nuance: they see "one Israeli Jew is guilty, therefore all Israeli Jews are guilty". They openly say "there are no innocent Israelis", and through that, they justify the violence of Hamas.

Hamas believes all Israelis are "complicit" - and in Hamas' opinion, this means they are worthy of death. It is written into their charter. It is a core belief that they have a god-given mandate to kill as many Jews as they can because they consider all of them invaders. I have actually read their charter. It is the most violent, horrifying piece of antisemitic propaganda I've read recently.

I regularly call out Netenyahu, and the Israeli government, and the IDF for their actions. THEY must absolutely be held culpable for their actions. There are likely many more people who were or are actively involved in harm done to Palestinians who must see their day in court. There must be justice for Palestinians, for all that has been done to them since the 1940's. I absolutely do not stand with any Jew who believes in an ethnostate. I do not stand with those who are still actively stealing Palestinian land and homes.

But I also don't think they deserve to die.

Do black Jewish lives matter? How about the lives of non-Jewish black African students and black Jewish Ethiopian-Israelis brutally murdered by Hamas and by Gazan civilians? Or the lives of a black Jew and Bedouin Muslim who Hamas has held in captivity for a decade? Or the lives of any of the dark-skinned Jews that make up about half of Israel’s population? Or any Jewish lives? Apparently, Derrick Johnson, president of the pro-black civil-rights group, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), doesn’t think so. When did the NAACP start making foreign policy decisions? Did it ever scream about the hundreds of thousands of truly innocent civilians in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran and elsewhere being massacred?

The Zionist Organization of America is appalled that on June 6, Johnson issued a press statement demanding that U.S. President Joe Biden indefinitely halt all weapons and ammunition deliveries to Israel, and pressure Israel to stop Israel’s Gaza operations aiming to recover the hostages and prevent Hamas from attacking Israel again. The Gaza-based terror organization has vowed to repeat its Oct. 7 atrocities again and again until Israel is annihilated. The NAACP president’s statement is an anti-civil rights abandonment and betrayal of black Jews, other Jews of color and the entire Jewish people who continue to be victimized, tortured and attacked by the U.S.-designated foreign terrorist group.

Adding insults to injury, the NAACP president parroted Hamas’ false, grossly overstated casualty figures (whitewashed as “UN figures”) and misleadingly blamed an Israeli airstrike in which Israel used the smallest possible ordnance to kill two senior Hamas terrorists in Rafah for Gazan casualties caused by a Hamas weapons stockpile catching fire more than one mile away. In addition, Johnson merely called Oct. 7 a “tragedy” while calling the war in Gaza “unspeakable violence affecting innocent civilians, which is unacceptable.”

Johnson has it backwards. He failed to mention that Oct. 7 was the “unacceptable, unspeakable violence against innocent civilians” in which Hamas and Gazan civilians massacred and tortured innocent Jewish babies, children and civilians from several dozen countries in the most horrific manners imaginable. He didn’t even mention the victims or the perpetrators.

On Oct. 7, Ethiopian-Israeli Samuel Golima, a soldier, and police officer Orel Abraham, both Jewish, were killed while fighting Hamas terrorists that invaded Israel. Yet NAACP’s president wants to disarm brave black Israeli soldiers like them—the defenders of innocent people against Hamas. Moreover, Hamas murdered at least 10 Ethiopian Jews on that horrific day. What about them?

Israeli towns where large numbers of Ethiopian Jews reside, such as Sderot and Ashkelon, have been longstanding, prime targets of Hamas’s tens of thousands of rocket attacks against Israeli civilians in the past 20 years. Yet the NAACP president wants to end Israel’s ability to eliminate the Hamas perpetrators of these terrible attacks.

On Oct. 7, Hamas also took two black Tanzanian agricultural students (Joshua Mollel and Clemence Felix Mtenga) who were on an exchange program in Israel and brutally murdered them. Why doesn’t the NAACP president scream about this? And why does he demand that Biden should disarm Israel so that Hamas can do this again?

Hamas also captured Ethiopian-Israeli Jewish hostage Avera Mengitsu a decade ago. Mengitsu is believed to still be in Gaza. Why hasn’t the NAACP president been calling this unspeakable and demanding that Biden reinstate maximum sanctions on the terror group’s funder: Iran?

what do you mean "you people" I'm not that other anon but my best friend in the world is jewish and a few years ago i was considering converting to judaism because my grandma might've been jewish (i didn't because the religion i would have to renounce is 100x rarer than judaism) you're making a lot of generalisations about all the people who support Palestine. I'm not saying there aren't bigots who do because I have seen them but generalising like that is an asshole move. I love Jewish people and Judaism and I don't support genocide.

by "you people" i mean the people who are trying to dehumanize zionists and israelis in any way they can, people who say israel has no right to defend itself, people who swallow every lie and keep calling a war a genocide while they clearly dont know much about this war

those people say they care about human lives but this is just another trend that lets them feel important, and they can't face the truth or ask the tough questions, and it leads to them saying "israel has no right to defend itself" meaning they want israelis to just die, and "hamas has the right to fight" meaning they want more innocent palestinians dead and of course they keep spreading lies or half truths but they dont care how much it risks lives (israelis, palestinians and jews)

anyway im happy your best friend is jewish and that you almost converted u really should get a medal

but judaism is more than just a religion, it's a culture and binds us together, and we should care about each other cause as history teaches us, we can only count on each other.

jews who may live comfortably and safely should know it doesnt mean other jews do. they should see israelis as human being, and try to understand where they come from (both the left and the right in israel), because jews has endured a lot and we are all human with a lot of trauma. i call settlers and some of right wingers "facists" but i can see why they think what they think. i dont justify them, and i think it's fucked up, but i can see what led them there because they are human.

the same can be said aboutbother israelis. a white american jew can criticize israelis for going to the military or support the war or even being in israel. but the truth is, some of the jews are in israel because their grandparents fled the holocaust or survived it and had nowhere to go, some survived the farhud, some fled from other arab countries (mine from yemen), some were rescued by israel (ethiopian jews), some fled from progroms in ussr.

not all of us were so lucky to go to the US. and some of us were saved by israel. we want to protect our country because there is nowhere to go, and even more, we love our country because we love each other and would die to keep each other safe. and this is zionism.

btw this love doesnt mean we cant criticize israel as well. im so angry about this country and this government but it's out of love, because i know this country is amazing and its people are the best, and we deserve more.

well i wrote a lot. what im trying to say, if you love jewish people, you should talk more to israelis, we are human. you can see us as human and be against the war. and of course remember not all jews are lucky as white american jews. not all of us can be safe without israel.

Even with such a high number of casualties among soldiers? More than 550 Israeli soldiers have been killed since October 7, including over 220 while fighting inside Gaza.

It is a lot, but without diminishing the tragedy of each and every one, this number does not raise question marks for two reasons. First, after what happened on October 7, death is perceived as a kind of fate. Second, when we look at the map of casualties, we see that a majority of them come from outside the secular middle class: religious Zionists, settlers, immigrants from the Soviet Union, Ethiopians, and Druze.

This war has not sent a shockwave through the centers of power in Israel. What will shock those families is an economic cost, international sanctions. Perhaps also a moral price, such as the discussions about genocide [at the ICJ].

During the Lebanon War [which began in 1982], for 12 years — from 1985 to 1997 — there were no forces within Israeli society that pushed for change. The Archimedean point was the helicopter disaster [in which two helicopters transporting Israeli soldiers into Lebanon collided, killing 73 people]. The disaster was important, because in a very circumstantial way the composition of the casualties reflected the wars of the past. Therefore, it horrified the middle class and created a big movement [to end the war]. Without it, it would have been possible for Israeli forces to stay in Lebanon for many more years.

Reservists were seen as a potential political force [when, for example, 3,000 reservists refused to participate in Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982]. However, the gradual change in the army’s composition is also reflected slowly in the reserve forces. Moreover, the reserves have become a semi-selective force: those who identify with the mission will come, while those who don’t will stay at home.

There is the potential for a certain kind of protest in the reserves. People returning home may find themselves in financial hardship, and will see that the country is not helping them. Students returning to their studies may find that their peers have advanced academically beyond them. This could incite a rebellion within the reserve community. However, it will not be political; it will be more of a materialistic rebellion.

If the army stays in Gaza for an extended period of time in all kinds of security zones — including the crazy idea of ​​returning to the Philadelphi Corridor [along Gaza’s border with Egypt], which the army has intentionally avoided entering — you will see more and more reservists getting wounded. But the army has the ability to produce architectures that narrow the role of the reserves, knowing that it could be politically explosive. More regular units will be established, or more ultra-Orthodox will be conscripted from the parts of the community that are showing more signs of willingness to enlist, and of course women, which is one of the biggest internal military developments of this war.

(...)

What do you understand about the current rules of engagement in Gaza?

There are none. How do I know? Because the starting point in “Operation Cast Lead” in 2008-9 and “Operation Protective Edge” in 2014 was that the soldiers were operating in a “sterile zone.” Why sterile? Because we told the residents to leave, which means everything is a legitimate target. We heard it from soldiers who testified to Breaking the Silence, and we heard it from Tzvika Fogel [who served as a general during Operation Cast Lead and now serves as a Knesset member for the far-right Otzma Yehudit/Jewish Power party] who said: “There’s no such thing as an innocent person in Gaza.”

Since the Second Intifada, the army has not given soldiers written rules of engagement, so the matter is open to interpretation. The fact that every person [in a ��sterile zone”] is a legitimate target is also one of the reasons for the high rate of friendly-fire and accidental killings [which account for around one-fifth of the soldiers killed in Gaza since October 7].

Any talk of restraint is a dirty word. In 2014, after Operation Protective Edge, the military prosecutor’s office came under a lot of pressure. In response, army commanders began saying that the prosecutor’s office does not restrict them. I heard Gadi Eisenkot [a former IDF Chief of Staff, and a member of the current war cabinet] at a recent forum in which he said that there is no way that the prosecutor’s office will tell the army to stop. He essentially said: “There is no prosecutor’s office now.” That’s a statement you’re not supposed to make.

(...)

Returning to where we started, you wrote that only if three conditions are met — raising the cost of managing the conflict, exhausting the military option, and formulating a credible political alternative — will there be a chance of moving beyond the status quo. Has the war thrown the system out of its perfect equilibrium?

Yes, because the significant upheaval and large-scale casualties have greatly disturbed the world. There is an international interest here. The United States needs Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia cannot go back to betraying the Palestinians as it tried to betray them before.

What about within Israel?

Internally, the change will only happen when there will be very high costs that will force our eyes open.

In other words, in order for there to be an internal change, the external actions have to be more dramatic?

This is the realization that I’ve come to. I gave too little space to external pressure.

Perhaps the book also underestimates the ability of the Palestinians to influence the system, to demonstrate agency. On October 7 and throughout the war that followed, the Palestinians have been saying: “You built a perfect system, but you forgot us.”

I understand this critique, but I don’t agree with it. The Palestinians demonstrated agency during the First Intifada and the Second Intifada, and they are demonstrating agency again now. The point is that on October 7, Israel — as a result of its own failures — did not manage to confront a threat that it could have easily prevented. This gave the Palestinians much more power than they truly had.

The story of October 7 is a tale of a grotesque failure. We wouldn’t be sitting here now if Israel had taken a few minor actions — another battalion here or there, a bit more alertness, equipment that was checked over a little more.

It’s reasonable to assume that Hamas did not expect to be so successful, but in the end, it was the Palestinians who threw the Israeli system off balance.

Totally."
