Who does it help to call what's happening in Gaza right now a genocide? Because it certainly doesn't help Gazans and Palestinians. The fact of the matter is it currently isn't a genocide. It absolutely is a humanitarian crisis; all wars are. When you're busy constantly calling it a genocide, it doesn't work to bring attention to any risk factors that it could become a genocide later because oh it was already a genocide to begin with.

Far more effective to say hey this is a humanitarian crisis and it's really concerning that so many people have been forced into Rafah which is now being attacked, the lack of access to safe zones and medicine and food and clean water and electricity could possibly turn this into a genocide soon. That helps way more because then you can actually hear the alarm bells.

And hey, then maybe people might see more urgency to examine why there's this lack of access to critical resources. Maybe then more people will realise that Hamas has been stealing all aid resources and depriving Gazans of what they so desperately need.

But if you actually want to help Palestinians and Gazans, think about what you're saying because right now all that's achieved by calling this a genocide already is A) distracting from the warning signs and B) boosting your own damn egos.

‼️ EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS FOR GAZA ‼️

I’m starting a commission donation drive to help raise money for Gazan evacuation and support fundraisers. Money will be distributed between multiple different vetted fundraisers to help as many as possible.

calling all those curious about and eager to discuss/debate the israeli-palestinian conflict!

if you have discord, you might be interested in In Favor of Coexistence, a server created to be a space for those who understand and want to explore what it means to coexist. in this server, we will discuss the ins and outs of the I/P conflict, its history, and its current state.

this server is strictly for those who are for a two-state solution, and who actually understand what that means. if you think one group of people should have to leave the region for there to be peace, this is not the place for you.

everyone is welcome here: jews, non-news, muslims, christians, israelis, palestinians, etc. happy pride!

(we’re also looking for mods, so if that sounds like something you’d be up for, shoot me a dm! and if you want to join, do so here.)

“someone needs to write this” i’m sorry, but not every concept needs to be turned into a mediocre ficlet! sometimes a good idea in a post can just be a good idea in a post!!!!

[chopper-witch]

No one touch me Im thinking about knowing Halsin when you were both younger (elves ya know) and being his only semi-long term/committed relationship but one of you ended up somewhere else (maybe during or after or because of the conflict that created the Shadow cursed lands) and you meet again after you get kidnapped by some mindflayers and help rescue him from some goblins. He’s so shocked at first he actually gets out of his bear shape, then after you tell him to get back into bear mode because gods damn it we are in the middle of a battle get it together!!!

And then things you know

Does Villain Tails has gun holsters he wears around to place his guns at?

His coat actually has pockets inside but u can't really see them. It's where he hides all his weapons but he also uses his tails as like a hammer space for his bombs!!!

This basically means that whenever he walks, everyone can Hear him jingle cause of all his inventions lol

Is “from the river to the sea” inherently an antisemetic dog whistle or can it be used in good faith in a similar vein to Free Palestine?

I’ve been hearing conflicting viewpoints

obviously if you feel uncomfortable you don’t have to answer

It's... complicated.

Personally, I don't believe most people saying "from the river to the sea" are actually calling for the immediate dismantling and re-refugeeing of Israel's entire population.

Nevertheless in absolute terms, that is EXACTLY what the slogan is demanding. See, a lot of people don't actually look at a map:

The area highlighted in red is, approximately, what "the river to the sea" refers to in its most conservative terms. Note how almost every single population center is within that range.

In practical terms, it's straight up a demand that Israel stop existing and Palestine be returned to local control.

And normally, being a fucking sensible person, you'd think, "Well, land back! Give it back!!"

Only you're assuming Israelis are colonizers.

Which IS. NOT. TRUE. Just because Israel is operating as a US colonial project doesn't make Israelis colonizers themselves.

Israelis are better thought of as refugees. People who were successfully genocided out of EVERY SURROUNDING NATION:

This map shows the expulsion or genocide of Jews from the area surrounding Israel over the last century.

Black-coloured countries have eliminated over 80% and up to 100% of their Jewish populations. That is to say, countries in black successfully committed genocide against their Jewish populations in the last century.

With any surviving refugees sent where?

To Israel.

Red represents greater than 60% population loss. In a century.

Blue represents 40+%, and yellow 20+%.

Remember: population loss over 10% is considered a strong indication of genocide, and 30% population loss is proof.

And remember that these number include the entire span of time between the holocaust and now.

IF it were possible to genuinely negotiate in good faith a peace treaty that allows Jewish refugees to Israel to stay in the Jewish Homeland that they've only barely even been sent to.

Then maybe "from the river to the sea" would not be a threat to finish off the last survivors of genocide.

But between US interventionism in the region, existing racial tensions, and the last century of genocide?

Good faith negotiations simply are not possible right now, and they won't be possible until the US and European powers make it possible by dialing back the imperialism and instead using their massive global power to support genuine negotiations of peace, that actually strive to develop a healthy, equitable society for both Jewish refugees returning to their historic homeland AND the people already living there.

Which, let's be realistic here. The EU is so busy crowing about how it's less racist than the US that they deny having even participated in these forced expulsions, claiming it was all "voluntary." And the US is literally still enslaving BIPOC in prisons.

So! That's just not going to happen!!

Which means we have to look at the phrase "from the river to the sea" not in the context of peace where it would be harmless, but in the context of, unfortunately, more wars over the last century than you could even give names to.

Where it calls for the expulsion of Jewish refugees from their homeland.

To where?

Well, most likely to death. After all, it's not like we're raring to take in ~7 million surviving Israeli Jews here in the US.

And that's the quiet part, I think. The part that people don't realize is being implied.

If Israel is gone, as the chant demands, then where do the 7 million Jewish Israelis go?

"Back home"? To the nations that killed off their entire families?

Because this isn't like land back movements in North America, where it is widely accepted that there would be no expulsions or relocations because they're inhumane.

The expulsions and forced relocations are already underway and currently ongoing.

That's the distinction that I think a lot of gentiles in the west don't grasp.

This slogan isn't "turn Israel over to Palestinian governance to achieve freedom" it's "turn Israel over to Palestinian control to complete the last century of genocides."

Like. Okay. In my ideal world, Israel as a state would never have been founded because the UK wouldn't have Done That To Palestine. But we live in this world, with this history.

To clamour for the dissolution of the Israeli state is to clamour for the slaughter and expulsion of 7 millions Jews. Bro that's half the global population.

Now, do I think "from the river to the sea" is an evil phrase and everyone who says it is genocidal?

No.

I think it's a poetic chant that works well in English and gets a decent message across to most listeners that they should support Palestinian humanity in the face of that genocide.

But I think that if I catch your ass shouting it after a ceasefire or during peace negotiations instead of during actual war crimes?

I won't be likely to trust you. Either you're well intended but uninformed, or worse, you know damned well what you're doing and its vile.

So, I don't know. I guess I would say it's not inherently antisemitic now, at this moment in time.

But give it a few months, and it will be, just like it has been before.

[chaosisorderao3]

Being part of the "Free Palestine" camp is not anti-semitic in and of itself. However:

Going around and saying "Free Palestine" to Jewish people out of context is anti-semitic.

Going around and saying "Free Palestine" without ever talking about the safety of Jews in Israel too is anti-semitic.

Going around and saying "Free Palestine" while making no effort to understand the leadership dynamic of Gaza and the West Bank leads directly to anti-semitism.

Standing with Israel and standing with Palestine are not mutually exclusive. The two should always go hand in hand, and if you support one but not the other, you probably have some internalised biases against Israel or Palestine that you should have a think about.

You can criticise the Israeli government for its actions, and you SHOULD criticise them. But stop going around to every Jewish or Israeli person you know and villifying them for the actions of the Israeli Government. That is antisemitic.

If you aren't well versed in the information, context and nuance of the conflict, STOP WEIGHING IN until you've educated yourself well. It's okay to not say anything, you don't need to push an uneducated opinion in order to look woke.

Stop being so damn anti-semitic, shut up and go educate yourselves. And for fucks sake, stop villifying every Jewish person you meet for things going on in the world that we are not responsible for.

Just a heads up Fella!

They created a new acc

yeah, this is the account they contacted me with recently, sept 18th. a year and one day after they first started harassing me. i talked a little bit abt it a few days after but i finally like.
