The settler's work is to make even dreams of liberty impossible for the native. The native's work is to imagine all possible methods for destroying the settler.

a looooooooooot of American leftist perspective on what is good or possible with basic policy about land use, recycling, public transit etc is so fucked up purely because we are completely unaware that much of Europe has been doing stuff we consider pie in the sky laughable dreamerism (like effectively and safely going home from shift work or from a nightclub at 3am on the subway, or recycling anything instead of strip mining a mountain every time we need to bottle beer, or turning vacant office buildings into apartments, etc) for decades or centuries.

you do not find out about it unless you're fortunate enough to visit and stay long enough to actually interact with the infrastructure, not just as a tourist, because likewise the Europeans just assume we can take buses everywhere or get 25¢ for a beer bottle and simply choose to live in suffering and profligacy out of simple American degenerate preference for driving cars and smashing bottles until an American tells them exactly how bad everything is here, which they can hardly believe

scalding hot take here but maybe bombing and massacring more civilians isn't going to get rid of the resistant fighters radicalised by watching civilians and loved ones be bombed and massacred

i just saw that video of the child in gaza with his head blown off and i just want to say to everyone preaching “lesser evil” and “harm reduction” to say: eat my ass

you have been voting for the lesser evil for so long that it seems you have either forgotten or become desensitized to the fact that you chose evil

the problems you claim to condemn cannot be solved by the institutions that are causing them, and you know this

End Colonialism.

I am thinking about how our country forces native ethnic groups onto a registry in order for them to even have shallow access to their cultural practices.

Also thinking about how it’s really messed up that said country (the country that killed them in order to be born) is what determines which of tribes are recognized. This means they can never have full sovereignty and are always depended on their colonizer.

For Yom Kippur I’m going to reconsecrate myself to serving colonized people worldwide. (Both because I am an American settler myself and live at their expense, and because I’m from a colonized background as a Filipino and should have solidarity from that alone.)

it’s sad how india who once recognised palestine as it’s own nation is now assisting israel in it’s genocide it’s awful it’s sick. as a country who was colonized and invaded for centuries, are ignoring the value and parallel of the palestinian resistance. especially those specialists in history. rot.

“ALL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DESERVE SELF DETERMINATION IN THEIR HOMELANDS!!!”

My brother in Christ you can’t even acknowledge Israel’s right to exist and the thought that Jews are native.

P.S. the thought that only one group can be indigenous to a piece of land IS colonial thinking. Both Israelis and Palestinians are indigenous to the land, deal with it.

Context: 18 year old settler activist refuses to join the IOF and accepts 30 day jail term, to be renewed each month if he keeps refusing. This can go on for over a year. Western allies fall over themselves calling him a hero.

Palestinians object to this, saying refusal to help murder their families is the bare minimum. Conscientious objectors have always existed but they rarely take the extra step to educate themselves about Palestinian liberation instead of indulging in empty feel-good rhetoric about "peace" instead of justice. Choosing jail is more often than not about expunging their own guilt and going on with their lives instead of being active allies to the Palestinian cause. Exceptionalising settlers for voluntarily accepting the lightest punishment of a carceral system designed to break Palestinians simply for existing, is to decenter and erase their own struggle.

Cue "allies" losing their entire shit.

I’m getting reported to whoever one reports things at a university because I made a “death threat” to another student when I told him “Israelis aren’t settlers. Die mad about it.” He and the professor both take the stance that I told him to go die. And listen, I agree that that wasn’t the best turn of phrase and I should have worded myself differently-you’ll get no argument from me there-but are you freaking kidding me?

just FYI, mondoweiss is rated as questionable on mediabiasfactcheck, and the news about the ban on Palestine flag is another example - it was basically just something he instructed the police to do during demonstrations, and they CAN do it, but they haven't so far. In the last two weekends there have been multiple protests with Pro-Palestine elements, no one bothered them, they are visible in many pics. TL;DR don't just spread news without checking the source please

people being called antisemitic for being anti-zionist and against the state of israel is nothing new (specifically here this is a progressive Jewish news site literally created with the sole purpose to oppose zionist ideology in Jewish spaces). i have no doubt there is some bias present on the site, as there is in most news reporting, but i think it's pretty cringe you felt the need to go out of your way here and try to misrepresent Jewish people who are anti-zionist and against the genocide of Palestinians as a "hate group"

"weeelllll they CAN totally arrest and brutalize people just for flying a flag but they haven't done it YET so it's fine" is that your logic here? we should just wait until they start beating people in the street? if you read the article you would know that that's already been happening and that this is hardly the first time they've tried to outlaw the flag, Palestinians have constantly been harassed and targeted for the flag previously even before this, and that this ban is just a continuation of the ongoing erasure and genocide of an entire people.

i know this may be surprising, but i do read the articles i reblog. maybe you should read it too before sending me stupid shit like this.

sry to be emo on main but i think watching the world tacitly enable genocide and settler colonialism (both violent and ‘non violent’ forms) despite having so much hard proof that it’s objectively Bad has . kind of ruined me
