Prismatic-bell has been accusing Palestinians asking for donations of scamming people. They also are acting like they know better than Palestinians on what’s good for them and are using the old conservative whataboutism regarding how poor people can’t have anything nice unless they’re lying by bringing up Palestinians living in poor conditions while still having access to gofundme and wifi while also bringing up the war in Ukraine as par for the course.. They blocked me for calling them out but have no right to say this when they don’t care about Palestinians at all.

I don't take particular joy in pointing out hypocrisy. When it comes to politics, everyone's a hypocrite, because everyone's a partisan, whether they admit to it or not. I've chosen my side, and I'm open about what that side is. I have political goals. I have aspirations that are rooted in an ideology and a history. I know what my ideology is, I can name it, and I can trace its genealogy. I'm very much a committed partisan of the global socialist movement.

But many people lie, even to themselves, about what side they're actually on. They will claim to have no ideology, to be guided by timeless and universal principles of human rights. They oppose Hamas (or Russia, or China, or communism) on the simple grounds that they commit atrocities. These people oppose atrocities (unlike everyone else, who loves atrocities).

Therefore, these people oppose whoever the US State Department tells them to oppose.

It's very silly, and it's why I much prefer to listen to committed supporters of the West, rather than their deluded handmaids. They're at least honest, and can be opposed honestly.

But the sanctimony of these liberal Zionist fanfic bloggers utterly turns my stomach. It's the worst of both worlds. They're not only committed to a monstrous world-historical project, they're too blinded to even understand what they're committed to. And so they can smugly position themselves as the lily-white keepers of decency, while talking from both sides of their mouth to rationalise their support for bloody conquest. Sad :c

Kayla Alpert, the one who wrote the "Friend or Woe" and "Woe What a Night" is a raging Zionist, having reposted pro-🇮🇱 crap/propaganda on X. (Going strong over this past month, if you don't feel like scrolling too far back where such things exist amongst all of her anti-Trump stuff.)

Just syk.

She's even reposted conspiracy theory about this spring's campus protesters (as well as Tweets mocking them)

If you say #freepalestine but don't support the Resistance, then you are at best foolish and at worst a liberal Zionist.

[mahoushojoe]

the lib zionist side of the discourse is currently making even simply BOYCOTTING look bad so idk why people continue to interpret them as being good-faith actors in this discussion

My Israeli Friends: This is Why I Support Palestinians – Ilan Pappe

It is challenging to maintain one’s moral compass when the society you belong to – leaders and media alike – takes the moral high ground and expects you to share with them the same righteous fury with which they reacted to the events of last Saturday, October 7.  

There is only one way to resist the temptation to join in: if you understood, at one point in your life – even as a Jewish citizen of Israel – the settler colonial nature of Zionism, and were horrified by its policies against the indigenous people of Palestine. 

If you have had that realization, then you will not waver, even if the poisonous messages depict Palestinians as animals, or ‘human animals.’ These same people insist on describing what took place last Saturday as a ‘Holocaust’, thus abusing the memory of a great tragedy. These sentiments are being conveyed, day and night by both Israeli media and politicians.

It is this moral compass that led me, and others in our society, to stand by the Palestinian people in every way possible; and that enables us, at the same time, to admire the courage of the Palestinian fighters who took over a dozen military bases, overcoming the strongest army in the Middle East.

Also, people like me cannot avoid but raise questions about the moral or strategic value of some of the actions that accompanied this operation.

Because we always supported the decolonization of Palestine, we knew that the longer Israeli oppression continued, the less likely the liberation struggle would be “sterile” – as it has been the case in every just struggle for liberation in the past, anywhere in the world.

This does not mean we should not keep an eye on the big picture, not even for a minute. The picture is that of a colonized people fighting for survival, at a time when its oppressors had elected a government, which is hellbent on accelerating the destruction, in fact the elimination of the Palestinian people – or even their very claim to peoplehood. 

Hamas had to act, and quickly so.

It is hard to voice these counter arguments because Western media and politicians went along with the Israeli discourse, and the narrative, however problematic it was.  

I wonder how many of those who decided to don the Parliament House in London and the Eiffel Tower in Paris with the colors of the Israeli flag truly understand how this seemingly symbolic gesture is received in Israel. 

Even liberal Zionists, with a modicum of decency, read this act as a total absolution of all the crimes Israelis have committed against the Palestinian people since 1948; and therefore, as a carte blanche to continue with the genocide that Israel is now perpetrating against the people of Gaza.

Fortunately, there were also different reactions to the events which unfolded in the last few days. 

As in the past, large sections of civil societies in the West are not easily fooled by this hypocrisy, already at full display in the case of Ukraine. 

Many people know that since June 1967, one million Palestinians have been imprisoned at least once in their lives. And with imprisonment, come abuse, torture and permanent detention without trial. 

These very people also know about the horrific reality Israel had created in the Gaza Strip when it sealed the region, imposing a hermetic siege, starting in 2007, accompanied by the relentless killing of children in the occupied West Bank. This violence is not a new phenomenon, as it has been the permanent face of Zionism since the establishment of Israel in 1948.

Because of that very civil society, my dear Israeli friends, your government and media will ultimately be proven wrong, as they will not be able to claim the role of victims, receive unconditional support, and get away with their crimes. 

Eventually, the big picture will emerge, despite the inherently biased Western media. 

The big question, however, is this: will you, my Israeli friends, be able to clearly see this same big picture as well? Despite years of indoctrination and social engineering? 

And no less important, will you be able to learn the other important lesson – one that can be gleaned from recent events – that sheer force alone cannot find the balance between a just regime on the one hand and an immoral political project on the other?

But there is an alternative. In fact, there has always been one: 

A de-zionised, liberated and democratic Palestine from the river to the sea; a Palestine that will welcome back the refugees and build a society that does not discriminate on the basis of culture, religion or ethnicity. 

This new state would labor to rectify, as much as possible, the past evils, in terms of economic inequality, the stealing of property and the denial of rights. This could herald a new dawn for the whole Middle East.

It is not always easy to stick to your moral compass, but if it does point north – towards decolonization and liberation – then it will most likely guide you through the fog of poisonous propaganda, hypocritical policies and the inhumanity, often perpetrated in the name of ‘our common Western values’.

As someone who is anti Zionist and a SU fan, I think there’s an explanation. A lot of these people are fandom liberals who think two cartoon teens kissing is the peak of revolutionary politics. They think in black and white and have a childish view of the world because all they consume is children’s cartoons, SW and Marvel/DC. I used to be that way myself until consuming more “adult” media such as certain anime or films.

why is the average tumblr zionist a 30 year old steven universe fan

[autistic-ben-tennyson]

I’d rather my child be a strait laced “square” who still stands up for what’s right than a punk tenderqueer who supports fascism and genocide. People like Sprinkledsalt really are status quo liberals who oppose actual change.

large zionist blocklist below

i've compiled a list of all the blogs positively interacting with the @/israel-palestine-bingo blog

there's more info about how the names were complied under the read more, but just to get an idea of how vile the blog is, i just want to quickly mention that the first prize offered in their pinned post, "eight hours of memi mamtera," is the song used in the viral israeli tiktok trend of kidnapping, humiliating, and torturing palestinians in the west bank.

and the "grand prize," which needs no explanation, is "all of palestine! for free!"

some quick info: all the names here have either approvingly replied to, reblogged from, or liked one or more of @/israel-palestine-bingo's posts. for likes, i've only gathered names that appear under their original posts; mostly ones that have not been reblogged, and some with 2-3 reblogs that have not left the immediate sphere of zionists. i've also made sure that these are blogs who have either liked more than one posts from them, or who frequently reblogs from other zionists.

you can also quickly look through the blog yourself (it doesn't have that many posts), or check out any of the names on the list with a quick 'israel' or 'palestine' in the search bar or their blogs.

there are more screenshots at the end of the posts, including ones showing who made the blog (ani-lo-daredevil / katenotbishop), and the bingo board itself (ashenpumpkin).

blocking tip: fastest way to mass block users (on desktop) is to go to settings -> the blog your blocking them from -> scroll all the way down to 'blocked tumblrs,' and then copy-paste the name your blocking

names listed below in alphabetical order reminder again, block don't engage

i also need liberal zionists to stop being an acceptable part of the tumblr ecosystem. i need people to treat them like the terfs and nazis on this site. let them sit in their hateful little corner and stop spreading their posts around

[autistic-ben-tennyson]

The irony of this post when OP has been caught using and sympathizing with Zionist rhetoric.

This is a trend I’ve noticed on this hellsite. People really need to check the blogs of the accounts before reblogging as that’s how trad conservatives like Greater-than-the-sword and Prolifeproliberty get thousands of reblogs/likes.

Op being a Zionist sympathizer changes the context of this post as it’s encouraging people to ignore how insidious Zionist rhetoric in leftist communities is.

@chinesegal

Bigots in leftist communities are usually not infiltrators or invaders purposefully trying to undermine your movement; they're usually just leftists with bigoted ideals from living in a bigoted society.

Framing all instances of bigotry in your community as coming from "somewhere else", from fakers or far-right agents or whatever, just lets you ignore your own bigoted ideals, the bigoted behavior of your friends and the people you like and trust, and your own complicity in it all.

Liberal Zionists are still at it with their lies

I’ve already talked about Prismatic Bell doing it but almost all of Jumblr is at it too. Honestly, their actions will lead to people dying because of their racist lies. It’s a bit satisfying to see the war expose so many “leftists” as racist Islamophobic scumbags who only care about themselves. So many people that were big in social justice and fandom circles turned out to be hateful, self centered pricks.

[autistic-ben-tennyson]

As an anti Zionist SU fan, this is hilarious and pathetic. Just because something was created by a Jewish person doesn’t mean gentiles can’t enjoy it. Their taste in media does explain their black and white morality. Jumblr really treats Judaism as just the woke, Prince of Egypt/SU/GF religion. I used to have a similar mindset but grew out of it by watching more nuanced or “adult” media like NGE, PMMM or WWY as opposed to just wholesome kids shows like SU or Dead End. Spielberg is also a Zionist Jew which is why I don’t watch much of his overrated, pro status quo, shlock except for the first two JP films.

the same night that riot police, counter terrorism and SWAT violently arrested protestors at columbia and city college in nyc, LAPD stood by while zionist counter protesters violently attacked the UCLA encampment, injuring dozens of people

eyewitness account from a professor at UCLA. the forward is an independent liberal jewish publication.

UCLA, the top-rated public university in the United States, experienced one of the darkest nights in its 105-year history on Tuesday. Over the course of my 33-year career at UCLA, I have never seen anything so terrifying take place.

Around 11 p.m., a group of masked counter-demonstrators made their way to the Royce Quad in the heart of campus and began to attack the encampment set up last week by demonstrators opposing the war in Gaza. They threw a firecracker into the encampment, tore down its outer walls, threw heavy objects at demonstrators and instigated direct physical confrontations. Those in the encampment were left to fend for themselves against a violent band of thugs intent on inflicting damage.

The incident marked a total systems failure by the university, the city of Los Angeles and the state of California.

For three hours, the counter-demonstrators attacked the encampment with impunity. UCLA has its own trained police force, and the UCLA administrators with whom I spoke told me that the Los Angeles Police Department had been called to campus. But, somehow, there was no police presence whatsoever until the early hours of the morning.

What makes last night all the more inexplicable was that the university had, over the weekend, seen a haunting warning of what could happen.
