#its a fucking genocide

[andrew-solace]

Why arent Palestine/Palestine related tags trending anymore? Why have I seen very little (if not zero) posts about the Genocide? This isn't a trend. It isn't a cashgrab, and it isn't a way to boost your blog. This is innocent PEOPLE'S murders, rapes, and abuse. Never stop talking about Palestine. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

It's been frankly fucking sad and embarrassing to find out some of my (ex) mutuals are zionists.

Rafah is currently being burnt down, the IDF targeted a group of displaced gazans tents in Rafah

It literally Does match the definition of a genocide under international law, and the excuse of destroying a terrorist organizing does not justify the ethnic cleansing of civilians. Fucking kill the hostages to kill bank robbers logic.

Israel has also been committing this ethnic cleansing - this genocide - since before the 7th and even long before Hamas formed. Trying to justify the horrific actions committed by israel the last century by blaming Hamas ignores the decades before Hamas formed. It's disingenuous.

The IOF has murdered several of the hostages taken on the 7th, including some that had escaped and were waving white flags with their shirts off to indicate they didnt have any bombs on them. If this had been about the hostages, they wouldnt have been bombing indiscriminately. That risks killing the very people they are claiming to be trying to rescue.

You think we dont know that Hamas doesnt care about the Palestinian people? Theyre an extremist organization born from decades of horror - they dont care about the civilians, they care about winning this conflict and retaking what was stolen, damn the consequences. But we are capable of nuanced thought here. We can condemn both Hamas And the IOF for their atrocities. We can point out the Extreme responses israel has - both to the violence conducted by Hamas and to peaceful protests conducted by Palestinian people.

This "would be over" if it werent for Hamas? This started before Hamas, and while it certainly wont end using their tactics, pretending they are the only ones at fault here is wildly delusional and an injustice to tens of thousands of innocent people.

You came onto a post calling out the horrific actions carried out by the IOF and pulled a full whataboutism, as if Hamas's existence excuses everything the IOF has done. As if calling out the genocide being committed here is somehow condoning Hamas. Thats not how the real world works. Thats how the world works under far right wing politics like MAGA.

And again. It is, under international law, very clearly a genocide. It matches both of the sub-definitions And meets the criteria of intent - israeli government officials are not quiet about that. The sooner people accept that a genocide doesn't have a death tally before it can be called one the easier it'll be to learn from them and recognize when theyre happening.

A not so friendly reminder. Rafah is under is under attack and has been since Sunday. Tell again how this isn’t a genocide? They were forced into this “safe zone”, but it’s no longer a safe zone. The Zionist have taken a page out of history’s worst playbook. Enough quit saying it’s about the hostages, it never was, because if it was they won’t be targeting and terrorizing “safe zones”.

do people really just wanna be fans of the hunger games and not mention palestine at all? like honestly? do you really wanna just support fictional uprisings and fighting back against fictional oppression but don't actually give a shit about it in real life? did y'all genuinely learn and internalize nothing from this series????

People be like "Russia is not imperialistic"🤡 - and then the most famous Ukrainian chef cannot open a restaurant of the most famous Ukrainian cultural food in Japan, because Japanese widely consider borscht a Russian dish and so would avoid the restaurant thinking it to be Russian🫤🫤🫤🤯🤯🤯

[very-lost-hobbit]

Can we talk about how CRAZY it is that the UN General secretary visited Russia? Start a brutal war against your neighbour and then escelate it eight years later! Commit ecoterrorism, threaten nuclear terrorism, and intentionally and actively target civilians! In fact, why not kidnap them AND their kids and "rehome" those kids with your own citizens and punish them for expressing their own culture while you're at it! Commit genocide- as a treat! These actions have minimal consequences and absolutely will not make you a pariah state!

I'm so fucking tired of people reading into everything that's Jewish or Israeli with bad faith.

I'm also tired of people who have large platforms spreading misinformation

[san8ny]

A baby..he’s wearing diapers for fuckssake.

[the-paris-of-people]

Also it's fucked up to yell at members of marginalized communities for acting within the two party system and not burning it all down when you don't have a plan. People are not your fucking sacrificial lambs to skewer and roast on a stick

I spent a large portion of today researching tekhelet for work as part of a piece on ancient dyes and I got so stupid emotional. Like it's just a dye, but it was such an important thing in ancient Judaism as the dye which would make tzitzit blue and the method of making it was lost around the time of the Arab conquest of Israel in the 7th century. (Also I note that lots of sources date the loss of the secret of the original manufacture but many just gloss over it mapping directly onto the colonisation of Judea/Israel by the Rashidun Caliphate - I know that the two events may not be connected but I have spent too long looking at history to be able to say that these were completely unrelated y'know... Lost knowledge is very, very rarely a coincidence)

They literally, to this day, still don't know how it was made.

There are multiple theories, most of which revolve around the murex snail (where we get Tyrian purple from) and the fact that if you expose the pigment it produces - di-bromo indigo - to light at the right point in the production process, it is reduced to regular indigo from which you can get your blue dye. But this has all been worked out using modern methods. The ancient production method of tekhelet is gone and I honestly find myself mourning yet another piece of lost knowledge form our history.

Something that really shocked me these past few days is the clarification that it isn't a matter of ignorance for these representatives and world leaders — it's blatant selfish interest that motivates them to commit atrocities on a large scale.

I think a small part of me assumed that once people find out about who we are and what we represent, naturally love will prevail instantly and the Palestinian people will finally receive our unending liberation — but that's not what happened. We have Biden confirming the beheaded babies stories despite not seeing a shred of evidence and at the same time downplaying the reported number of Palestinian deaths and it's not that he doesn't know. He's President of the United States for God's sake. He probably has intel on what Netanyahu ate for breakfast, of course he can see the public videos of Palestinian children with their heads blown off. Its not that he doesn't know — its that he doesn't care.

It's fully just the complete lack of compassion and empathy — placing your own selfish desires above everyone else's and for what? Truly, for what? For a few billion extra dollars? To assure that a select few will survive even if it means alienating the rest of your countrymen? Who is he serving and benefiting other than himself in this situation? What use is that money if you're going to die soon anyways?

I can't comprehend the level of selfishness these people have, to sacrifice lives that he knows can never speak up against him. But that's "the cost of war," isn't it Biden?
